hmmmmmm... all this not giving UGA the time of day is getting to be the norm. Let's recap....
Georgia favored over OSU, yet many, and I mean many thought OSU would pull the upset. Nope, UGA 35-OSU 14.
Georgia takes on Alabama, the talking heads once again go against Georgia, stating, "Saban is the man", only to lose that one too!
Georgia then takes on arch-rival Florida, and everyone screams Tebow this, Tebow that, all the while Georgia smacks them in the mouth 42-30.
Georgia now takes on Auburn and all I hear Mr. sports personality on the tube and in the papers say is how Auburn is going to redeem themselves for last years embarassment. Well, sorry to disappoint, UGA wins this one too.
POS dumbasses, I tell ya, go Dawgs! Hate to inform y'all, but UGA is amounting a solid team with the youth really starting to show what maturity and solid coaching can accomplish. Combine that with the talent on the bench and the incoming recruiting class and the boys look like they very well will be a team worth talking about the next couple of years, and I mean in the good way!
Good luck Auburn!

Alright out of Auburn, the only things I have heard has been things compimentary of Georgia. Auburn coaches commenting that Moreno looks like Cadillac Williams and they respect that. Tommy Tubs on Mike Terico today commented that this game was a game between brothers that like and respect each other unlike Auburn's game in 2 weeks. The Vegas Odds makers have Georgia as a 2 point favor. Georgia is the highest ranked 2 loss team in the country. I don't get where this disrespect is coming from ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) If anyone has been disrespected it is Auburn in this game. Georgia players and coaches aren't commenting on Auburn, they are worried about what color jerseys's they are wearing. The players want fans to wear black. I've read where Moreno is going for Heisman votes and will run all over Auburn. I've heard where Stafford is great and Cox sucks. How Stafford will pass at will and Moreno will run at will against Auburn. The only public figure I've heard cal this game for Auburn is Cowherd and he is batting about .400. So I don't get this disrespect thing ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

Well, PJ, just saying since perusing the internet, looking at the predictions of who will win this game, at least 7-8 out of 10 folks are picking the upset. And no, I'm not simly saying I only saw 10 results, just the average is 70% in picking Auburn for the win. Herbie already said Auburn once, will see where he ends up.
My statement has nothing to do with "respect" for UGA concerning ranking or quality of players, only the simple fact many are predicting Auburn. Nothing wrong with it at all. Auburn could very well win this game, the numbers favor them. I was just talking out loud on how it seems that writers and talking heads are predicting the "upset", just like they did in the three games I mentioned, picking Alabama, OSU and Florida(though UGA was the underdog).
Sorry for the confusion! I am just popping off for the Dawgs, that's all.....

The other one I heard this week was:
"watch the first 10 mintues and the last 5 minutes of this game and you won't miss anything."
"Auburn will jump out to a 10-14 point lead early in the game to only choke it away throughout the rest of the game." "Tune back in for the last 5 minutes of the game and the last team with the ball will win." "It is the script of how Auburn plays football this year."

Let me see, Auburn is the underdog in a road game where they will be wearing the white uniforms, add a little disrespect to the mix and Badda Bing. Sorry UGA this one is already in the bag for Auburn, everything points to an Auburn win.

This game is a problem for me. I want to support Auburn in this one but I would also like to see all LSU's future and potentially future opponents win out to improve LSU's SOS.

come on Red, are you wanting the SOS of your future and past teams to be high because you are assuming a victory when future teams (potentially UGA) play? What if .... ;D

What happens if UT represents the East and beats LSU? You will Have SEC Champ UT, LSU with 2 losses, and let's just say UGA wins out and ends 10-2, what happens then?
Okay, okay.... I'll confess, I'm secretly a "Groundling" and am trying out new material....

That's why I'm rooting for Arky today, take UT out of the equation. Honestly, I would rather face UT in Hotlanta. I think it would be an easier game for LSU.

ummmm.... eye, my point is when UGA was NOT favored to win or was not being picked to be upset by the masses, therefore eliminating those games. But really, this was more or lessjust popping off a bit and more jabbing at you Auburn fans.
Roger that.

Georgia coach Mark Richt said he always stresses that his players not give the opposing team "Bulletin Board" material for upcoming games. But when it comes to getting some, Richt said the more the merrier.
"Yeah, we're always looking for something," Richt said. "We're always looking for something good to get guys excited, mad, or whatever."
Richt joked that he's even seen assistant coaches go as far as to make something up right before the team runs on the field.
"You can embellish things sometimes, like quote where you can read the quote and put emphasis on a certain word, or say read between the lines, this what he's saying," Richt said. "But again, that stuff works for a little while. Then you have to play."
However, Richt may have received just the bulletin board material he was looking for thanks to Auburn linebacker Quentin Grove.
Grove told a local media outlet that he couldn't wait to rip out part of the hedges should the Tigers win Saturday's game.
"Did he say that? Golly," Richt said. "I've got to read the paper. I thought I read the paper this morning.
"Usually, Coach Joe T (Joe Tereshinski), or Fab (Jon Fabris) gives me the good stuff. I don't have to go find out. Or fans, they might shoot something on the E-mail," Richt said. "If I just sit there it's coming to me. It's like use this, use this, but I've actually read a little bit more than I usually do."
