Anti-Orange Week Part I is here…UGA at UT. I’m so glad I’m not going to this game. I HATE Knoxville, all things Orange, rude & obnoxious hillbillies, and losing in god-forsaken Neyland Stadium. Recent history shows that the Dawgs feel right at home in the house fat Phil built, but I’m a little worried we may have overstayed our welcome.
Seriously, I’ve had a horrible feeling all week about this game. I don’t know if it’s because of last year’s debacle in Sanford, or the fact that the Vols have had a whole week to regroup and get their act together. I just want to get this game over with.
I’m not gonna do a preview because Kit wrote an excellent one as always, and I have nothing else meaningful to add. I’ll just say that I think this game hinges on 2 big factors:
1. Defense – Sometimes we have a great one and so far this year UT doesn’t. At all. Hopefully a miricle didn’t occur during their week off. If so, we’re screwed.
This is an excerpt from my bedtime prayers last night:
Please God, help Willie Martinez understand the meaning of the words “blitz” and “GATA.” And Lord, I would be oh-so-grateful if you could somehow show Brandon Miller how to knock Erik Ainge’s block off. I believe you will God, because Lewis Grizzard said you are a Bulldog!
2. Run the damn ball – Thomas and Knowshon are our version of Clemson’s thunder & lightning. Just let them do what they do, run down the clock and back to Athens with a win.
I hope the feeling I have in the pit of my stomach is just nerves. And because I was raised right, I’m gonna ignore my pangs of worry and bet on my Dawgs…. UGA 34 UT17
Even though I’m not doing a preview, Anti-Orange Week Part I wouldn’t be complete without poking some fun at Fat Phil and the Rednecks of Rocky Flop. Enjoy!
My God, it’s like a nightmare on Hee Haw
Priceless!
Here’s to hanging 50 on Rocky Top!
Go Dawgs!

Great Post! I love the prayer! Please Please blitz Willie!! (Especially on third and forever) Heres to UGA kicking some orange butt! GO DAWGS!
You’re right, it was a drubbing – just against the Dawgs, not the hounds.
That was the worst looking Mark Richt team I’ve ever witnessed. I’m dumbfounded (save your sarcastic remarks). I just don’t see this team trying to win. They looked like how SCU looked for so many years – quitters, resigned to losing.
Unacceptable.
I don’t care what anybody says, that ass whoopin’ was so bad everyone in Bulldog Nation felt it.
We were at UGA when Goff was at the end of his time and when Donnan came in. We’ve seen and lived the ugly days of Georgia football. But I gotta say, watching UT pummel us 2 years in a row and reduce our boys to a JV looking squad feels worse than the losses of the Goff & Donnan years.
We expected to lose then. These last 2 years with CMR have been unexpected – I’ve always had hope of a rebound. Now, I’m not so sure anymore.
As proof – I sold my Florida tickets last night.
