Mood of Auburn Game

A Picture Worth 1,000 Words

I found this picture from the Auburn game and wanted to share it with you. I just thought it was amusing. If you look closely, it looks like the two Auburn defenders in the background (Blackmon and Groves) are hugging each other and looking at Moreno in fear.

Did you glance at it again..see it now? I thought that this picture summed up the whole mood of the Auburn game. While Georgia played one of their best games of the season, Auburn did the exact opposite. Maybe you will think it is as funny as I did.

Dawgs Hoping To Crush Tigers

It's Saturday in Athens people! Does that bring chills to anyone besides me? It's especially important this Saturday when the Dawgs play the rivaled Auburn Tigers. Kickoff is set at 3:30 between the hedges.

"Black Out"

Mark Richt has announced that the senior players of his football team have requested a "black out" this Saturday in Athens. What exactly is a "black out?" Well, it's when everyone in Sanford Stadium wears black. Richt says that the players think it will just be cool and also can be a sign of unity between the fans and the players.
I think it can work, if only we could just get rid of the ugly orange and blue that will also be there. So, if you are going to the game on Saturday: WEAR BLACK. Don't ruin it for the Bulldog Nation or the senior football players. It's the last time they get to play Auburn, so do it for them.

Looking Back

OK, now that we are all going to look the same, let's hope that Georgia can play as a team on Saturday. Last year, as I'm sure everyone remembers, we showed the #5 Auburn team who was boss with a 35-15 spanking at Jordan-Hare Stadium. This time the Dawgs are ranked higher, and the game is in Athens. All the more reasons to do the same thing this year. Here is a video with highlights from last year's win over Auburn.

The Numbers

Auburn leads the series in this rivalry, 52-48-8. The Tigers are 17-9 in Athens, and have won nine of their last 11 games played in Sanford Stadium. Also, Georgia has not beaten Florida and Auburn in the same year since 1982. Hey, the odds may be against us, but remember they were last year too!

How Important is This Game?

If you ask me, this could be one of the most important games yet. The reason for this is that everyone has 2 losses in the SEC. So, this game could put us in the driver's seat to a visit to Atlanta on December 1st. Go Dawgs!

UGA Homecoming: The ball comes home to the end zone!

It was a dawg- gone good time this past Saturday, when Georgia won homecoming and defeated Troy 44-34. Hey, guys, our record is now 7-2! That is sweet!

Moreno Show Again

Knowshon Moreno had another amazing day in Athens. He had yet another career high day with
196 yards in 26 carries and 3 TD's and one fumble. Moreno now has a total of over 1,000 yards. He is one of the only running backs in Georgia history to reach 1,000 yards in his freshmen year. Moreno was named SEC Freshmen of the Week for the third time this season. Richt said that he was proud of Moreno, of course, but would like to reduce his carriers from 30 a game to about 20 a game. I say let him carry it 40 times if it works!

I found this video of (guess who?) in high school and I thought it was interesting, so I hope you enjoy!

Stafford

Our sophomore quarterback finished the game against Troy 17-29 and 2 touchdowns. He threw one interception to a man in our end zone, but made up for it with 2 bombs to Tripp Chandler and Sean Bailey. I have heard news that Stafford's knee is bothering him, so rest up for the very important game against Auburn, Stafford!

SEC Up For Grabs Saturday

One of the most important games for Georgia this year is being played in Athens at 3:30 against the 15th ranked Auburn Tigers. This game could help decide who goes to the SEC Championship on December 1st. Good luck Dawgs!
