PrintOK, so, um, that stunk!
It’s, like, tough to win on the road, or something. I mean, it shouldn’t be as tough as the Hoop Dogs are making it, what with their 0-7 record in away games and all, but, still, it’s difficult to do, particularly when no one in the SEC seems able to handle prosperity.
The moral of the story is, you know, you kind of don’t want to be down by a dozen in the other dude’s building. That sort of tends not to end well. The good news is that South Carolina is next on the docket, and the Gamecocks just pulled off the biggest upset in their history, so they’re ripe for a letdown . . . of course, the game is in Columbia, so I wouldn’t hold my breath out much hope.
If Paul Westerdawg is right, this was the third-toughest of the Fox Hounds’ remaining games, so it mostly gets easier from here . . . but, after a night like tonight, it had better.
Go ‘Dawgs!

Dang -
I hate when Florida wins.

and I hate when Georgia loses.
When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."
That too!

I will be at the meet in Auburn on Friday with my girls. Here’s hoping that we can get these ships heading back in the right direction. Go Dawgs!
Freedom is not free!
I hope y'all have a great time, McSlugger
A win on the Plains would indeed be a good thing. Conversely, seeing as how Suzanne Yoculan literally never lost to Auburn during her coaching career in Athens, a loss in the so-called Loveliest Village would be a harbinger of doom.
Go 'Dawgs!

Mea Culpa
I forgot that an announced 7pm start time means 6pm at my house and missed the whole darn thing – so i’ll take this one.

Can I just say that I love your approach to these basketball posts...
It reminds me of the genius explanations I get in my 6th grade science classes…except your opinions are more informed.

Thanks
When it comes to basketball, a sport I enjoy but about which I am ill-informed, I try to guide myself by the principle enunciated by Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451: if you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you, and you’ll never learn anything.
Go 'Dawgs!

It's obvious
That the Fox Hounds are still a work in progress.
From what I saw on the crappy ESPN 360 feed was a Florida team that didn’t miss a whole lot…and a poor defensive effort by our guys. And that was only a ten minute sample of the game before I gave up on the sorry Internet feed.

I watched on CSS in Atlanta
….and I’ll have to say it was one of the worst sports broadcsts I have seen. the camera angles were terrible. It felt like you were watching the game from the rafters of the O’Connell Center. There was also either a woman or young boy with a very shrilly voice who must have been seated near the abbouncers because you could hear him/her/it scream out comments after every play. It was extremely annoying. Then, when you factor in the announcers calling the wrong players every other play – it just made for a bad broadcast.
At one point – they showed the SEC East standings on the screen, and then mentioned that the division was wide open because every team now has a conference loss. Following their win against Tennessee last night, Vandy is now 5-0 in the conference.
UGA’s downfall last night was turnovers. They turned it over early and often and fell behind early on the road which is tough to overcome since SEC teams play much better at home. Florida’s hot shooting didn’t help UGA’s cause either. Fortunately for Georgia, Dan Werner played nearly 30 minutes for the Gators, and just having him on the floor kept the game from really getting out of hand.
I think UF will have a difficult time winning in Athens next month, Coach Fox was pretty fired up in the late stages of the game and even earned a techincal…so I’m sure he’ll have his team extra ready for the Gators in February.
