Georgia v. Central Michigan Game Day Open Comment Thread

Central Michigan Chippewas at Georgia Bulldogs, Sep 6, 2008 3:30 PM EDT


Game day is upon us once more and this is your open comment thread, in which to share your thoughts, reflections, knee-jerk reactions, and other observations regarding Georgia’s game with Central Michigan and the other college football action throughout the nation. Have at it in the comments below.

This also is the occasion on which I will name this week’s honorary game captain. Since the Bulldogs rarely play Mid-American Conference teams, the pickings were pretty slim (especially since the ’81 Temple game really doesn’t count as a win over a M.A.C. opponent, in the same way that the ’83 Sugar Bowl really doesn’t count as a loss to a Big Ten team).

Today’s honorary game captain was selected on the strength of his season-opening performance against Kent State in what ought to have been the initial outing of his Heisman Trophy-winning campaign.

Against the Golden Flashes on September 5, 1998, Champ Bailey led a defensive effort that held K.S.U. to a lone field goal over the course of 60 minutes and put his time at wide receiver to good use by catching a 40-yard touchdown pass on the third play of the game to pace a 56-point effort by the Georgia offense.

Ten years and one day later, we here at Dawg Sports select Champ Bailey as the honorary game captain for the Bulldogs’ meeting with another M.A.C. opponent in Sanford Stadium. Here’s hoping today’s outing yields similar results.

Go ‘Dawgs!

We are about

as vanilla as we can possible be on offense…yet effective. I think Knowshon needs some more conditioning.

This guy is a stud. I’d like to see a better job on kickoffs, and hope the D comes out and settles down after allowing that last minute TD.

I love Blair but...

Kickoffs must improve, i love his FG range, but where is it on kickoffs?

And where is our secondary?

I don’t like how our CB are looking later in this game

Could be worse

At least we stopped that last drive 35-17, we do need to step it up though

I want to see some sacks

I think we are getting decent pressure but just not able to put LeFevour on the ground will the ball still in his hands. He always seems to get rid of it just before we get to him, which only shows his experience and smart play. But these aren’t the best lineman protecting him.

There is our half a hundred!

Is it fair to have 3 excellent backs like this? 56-17

New York Dawgs

So the game wasn’t on my basic cable coverage, and I don’t have ESPN Game Plan, so I got online to find out where the UGA Alumni Association of New York City watches the game. I was pleased to see FireFly (Spring between Lafayette and Mulberry) was PACKED with red-and-black clad fans cheering. The game was on at least 11 big screens (most were projectors), the audio was loud and clear, and they muted the commercials and played fight songs by the Redcoats…all in all it was a very enjoyable afternoon.

And DawgDay—you are right—-that was just sick!

GO DAWGS!

Awesome!

Good to hear there are a few good UGA fans up north, i’m sure they’re the few CFB fans in NY. And i love the idea of playing fight songs during commercials, Awesome idea!
