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!
