PrintGeorgia Bulldogs at Vanderbilt Commodores, Feb 25, 2010 7:00 PM EST
Is tonight the night the Georgia Bulldogs notch their first conference road win under Mark Fox and secure a second straight SEC victory, or has last weekend's triumph produced false hope?
We're about to find out, and, if you're along for the ride, join in the fun in the comments below as the Red and Black travel to Nashville to tangle with the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Go 'Dawgs!

LSU got the monkey off their back...
can we do the same regarding road-woes?
Again, turnovers. Unless they have blueberry in ’em and are served with milk, I hate ’em.

Loving the silver on those uni's...
New?

Never seen 'em before myself.

Carolina was wearing 'em the other night . . .
. . . as part of Nike’s 25th anniversary celebration of Air Jordans.
Since we’re a Nike school, I’m guessing that’s the source of the silver, although, fortunately, it is a uniform color with which we have considerable history.
Go 'Dawgs!
I like our early transition game.

Sounds like a pretty good Georgia contingent in the house

Have I mentioned lately that I love Trey Thompkins...

I'll love him even more if he sticks around another year.

Vandy couldn't throw it in the ocean from "3" land against UK.
No issues so far tonight. Dang.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Vandy has a dude on their team
named Chaingang. Of course, it’s not spelled that way, but it’s nearly as badass as Bacarri Rambo.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."

our perimeter shooting is piss poor right now.

Vandy en fuego.
Us…not so much.

Wow...
back to back 3’s. My twin brother DirktheDawg just walked in. How are you, Dirk?

-Erk Russell
Never did like that guy.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."

Our defense, 3 balls aside, has been pretty poor.
we’re giving up too many baskets close in. And Trey with a couple of fouls. Fox was wise to keep him on the bench for most of the last 10 minutes.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."

This reminds of a Police song
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely.
I think RC left the building.

-Erk Russell
No
I’m here. My 2 year old was just demanding my attention. He clearly jinxed the end of that half. My wife removed him before we went on our run … Its his bedtime anyway.

Fascinating!
That really puts a new twist on “The terrible 2’s”. Kids that age are a handful.

At least he's a Georgia fan.
I’m just thankful he won’t remember the disaster that has been the last two years.

Kudos for the Police reference
I saw them at the Omni on my 15th birthday. The show was filmed and later aired on Showtime. You can still find copies of it sometimes.
Go 'Dawgs!
Man...you're making me feel old!
wait a second…I am old.

Good start...

Glad Leslie is getting the love from the announcers
He deserves it. Would hate to see him overlooked at all conference team time.
The only thing we hear more than "Georgia is the best 4-8 team in the country" is...
“Another Georgia turnover”
"We have a lot of passionate fans at Georgia and we look forward to giving them something to be positive about."
-Todd Grantham.

He was only suspended for 1 game, I think...
Coach Fox has a more reasonable approach to discipline that Felton did. If Felton was still here I’m sure Albert would probably be changing the furnace filters in the bowels of Brumby Hall.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
But Billy Humphries would still be driving drunk.
The problem with Felton was inconsistency.

My only consolations are these:
(a) The Saints are going 6-10 next year.
(b) Now Drew Brees can afford to have that birthmark removed.
Go 'Dawgs!
What would happen, in theory of course,
If the Saints drafted Tebow and 3-4 Auburn players?

I'd spend every Sunday in the fall singing a Billy Joel song
“Only the Good Die Young,” specifically.
Go 'Dawgs!
It's the Couch Commander here. . .
This thing that goes between your sofa cushions and holds your drinks and remotes. I kind of want one.
I don't mean to get all Hank Hill here . . .
. . . but isn’t that what crotches and hands are for, respectively?

Those, my friend, are the deep philosophical thoughts of a Tech grad...
To this day, I think the fact that all four of his kids went to UGA drove him to drink.

Can those numbers be right?
Seven turnovers per side, Georgia leading 22-14 in points in the paint, both teams in the 43 per cent range from the field, both teams nailing their free throws, Fox Hounds getting killed on threes.
Who’d have thought?
Go 'Dawgs!
We were doing alright on turnovers...
then probably had 3 or 4 in a row.

I am now officially in full-on '80s mode
It must be the Chick-fil-A vanilla milkshake I had with supper going to my head, but Tchiengang’s name reminds me of “Chainsaw” from “Summer School.” It’s hard to remember now, but, in 1987, Kirstie Alley was outrageously smoking hot.
Go 'Dawgs!
She was smokin' hot...
She looked good as Lt. Savik in Star Trek Wrath of Khan…
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."

I don't get ESPNU
I’m relying on our old friend GameTracker, which I maintain was invented by a Georgia Tech graduate, because of the “GT” abbreviation.
Go 'Dawgs!
I got it when we played Arizona State(?) this season and have kept it.
It came bundled with several sports channels for $5 a month.
Did Vandy's gym..
used to be a Zeppelin hangar?
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Blimp...
Don’t think Zep ever played the Grand ol’ Opry. But it would’ve been cool.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Wow . . . that image would have blown my mind even without the sugar rush from the milkshake
Roy Acuff and Led Zeppelin. The mind reels.
Go 'Dawgs!
Have you checked out Allison Krauss and Robert Plant...
call up “Gone gone gone” on YouTube. It’s waaaay country rockabilly cool.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Sometimes I think Stegman says "we don't value basketball,"
and if that is so, what does there gym say about them.
Not so much today...
but when I was in school one end was the stockyard and the place was rarely locked. Used to play racquetball in the basement all the time.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
This is a helluva game.
Wish all you guys could see it.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
We have taken a lot of shots tonight
48 field goal tries (to Vandy’s 40) and 14 three-pointers (to their nine) . . . but only five free throws (to their 17).
Go 'Dawgs!
It's even better for baseball
Meanwhile, I don’t mean to get all Munson on everybody or anything, but this clock can’t run fast enough for me from here.
Go 'Dawgs!
Great putback!

No worries..
RedCrake put his two year old to bed who was jinxing us earlier. It’s gonna be alright.

Take a guess who came in the room during the 4th quarter of the Kentucky game?
I am the man who once fluctuated the temperature in his apartment in accordance with the Dawgs performance in the College World Series. A 2 year old sha’nt deter the success of the Fox Hounds!

That's it.
We’re taking up a collection for the complete Woody Woodpecker DVD collection, several boxes of Cheerios, and any other healthy vice for your son and sending him to Uncle Dave’s mom’s for the next Georgia athletic event of consequence that is on TV.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
That's a great idea.
Generally speaking, when he tailgates and goes to games with us, we lose. When he stays with my parents we win.

65-60 with 5:38 to go
I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I can’t tell if it’s the game or the milkshake.
Go 'Dawgs!
Speak not blasphemy against Chic-Fil-A....
They paid for my wife to go to college… And Berry isn’t cheap.
I’d be much more likely to believe its our inability to close out games.

Don't get me wrong . . .
. . . it was a great milkshake, but the combination sugar rush/brain freeze is killing me.
I ain’t as young as I used to be.
Go 'Dawgs!
Sugar rush/brain freeze...
that’s why all my shakes has some BOURBON in ’em.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
I tried that once, in a nod to "Pulp Fiction"
It was quite good. I highly recommend it.
I’m pretty sure putting bourbon in a Chick-fil-A milkshake is a sin, though.
Go 'Dawgs!
Not in south Florida it ain't
we’re a sinful lot down here.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
At moments like this, Dave . . .
. . . I’m not entirely sure you’re not a character in a Harry Crews novel.
That’s a compliment, by the way.
Go 'Dawgs!
Never read a Harry Crews novel...
recommend one to me.
I just finished reading, “Blood Meridian” by Cormac McCarthy (he of ‘The Road’ and ‘No Country for Old Men’) I need something a little less sanguineous.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
I'm pretty sure everything is less sanguine than Blood Meridian . . .
. . . which is the best Cormac McCarthy novel I’ve read (although, to be fair, I’ve read only a limited number of his novels).
For Crews, I’d go with A Feast of Snakes.
Of course, it goes without saying that you can’t overcook bacon, you can’t put too much butter on a baked potato, and you can’t read too much Faulkner.
Go 'Dawgs!
Much abliged
Dang, Kyle. Why did you have to mention bacon at this late hour? Or, Thanks!

Truett Cathy does not approve of alcohol consumption...
If you ever want to subject yourself to some punishment, try going to UGA for a year and then transferring to a school that makes you live in campus housing your first 2 years and is a dry campus regardless of whether or not you are 21.
Of course, my roommate and I managed to keep a fully stocked bar in the ceiling tiles of our dorm room.

Of course they are probably saying the same thing about Leslie.

I could do with some rowdy chaos, and definitely a little luck
Also, I think we’re starting to get the first inkling of the end of the sugar surge and the start of the post-milkshake crash.
Go 'Dawgs!
Boy
Fox is really working the refs.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."

At least we're not talking about his affinity for earth tones and tailored suits . . .

I'm pretty sure it's from Belk's.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."

we're going to end up with Three-3 point plays in the last 22.5 seconds
and lost this damn game.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just when you think you have seen it all there is some new pain to be inflicted.
Well. We'll always have Paris.

Next year?
I mean some of the losses have sucked, but we did beat Vandy earlier in the year and if you’d told Georgia fans at the beginning of the season that we’d beat 3 — almost 4 — top 25 teams, most wouldve been thrilled.
It is frustrating, but we can see that CMF has his team doing (mostly) the right things.

Better luck next time.
We are better. Hope Leslie and Thompkins hang around to take us to the promised land.
Well, dang
I’m going to go get to work on the instantaneous ill-informed roundball wrapup, right after I launch a toaster oven off my balcony.

Hope those of you who can go show up for Florida on Saturday. At least we’ve got a few home games to play…and it looks like if we’re going to break through on the road it’ll have to be at LSU or in the Tourney.
