Why Hiring Greg McGarity Means the Georgia Bulldogs Are About to Dominate the Florida Gators

PrintFor what it's worth, Greg McGarity worked in the University of Georgia athletic administration from 1973 to 1992, and he worked in the University of Florida athletic administration from 1992 to 2010.
In the last 37 football seasons, the SEC school having Greg McGarity on its payroll has posted a 28-9 record in the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, including winning streaks of five (1992-1996), six (1978-1983), and six (1998-2003) games.
It sounds to me like having Greg McGarity on your side brings good luck in Jacksonville.

OK
I am not sure that this premise hold water. While I hope it is the ingredient to the cocktail that changes our fortunes and puts the world back on its axis (Dawg Domination for a Decade)…I am just not very sure on this one. Can anyone point to his actions or influence on the Gator’s program specifically? Was he ingrained in the hiring and recruiting? How is this once Dawg turned Gator (ughhh) now back to Dawg going to really help? Why did he not use his powers of good to be a mole in the evil empire of Gainesville? If he did…he was DEEP cover and never acomplished much for Dawg Nation. How well did UF tennis do under his tenure there? Hmmmmm?

You're overthinking this.
Trends (or near-trends) like this are not subject to the kind of analysis you propose. Correlation may not establish causation conclusively, but as long as it doesn’t disprove it, we’re allowed to look at favorable associations — well, favorably.
Correlation=Causation
Come on, dude… everybody should know that by now.

What are you talking about?
This logic is completely flawless.

What alternative explanation is there, Caniac233?
Except for coaching and talent, of course.

Also, . . .
. . . for what it’s worth, it appears that Greg McGarity was involved in every critical decision.
(I’m sure all of you have seen this stuff, but I’m just getting caught up after a full day; I turned off my computer at about midnight last night and didn’t fire it up again until shortly after supper tonight, so I am way out of the loop. My bad.)

Dude! Don't say anything!
My supply of Diesel t-shirts hasn’t arrived yet. I ordered them in various sizes and colors because it was, after all, my choice.
Indeed
I like what xinyue brings to the conversation. It’s a kind of performance art: a sarcastic commentary on the eschatological futility of our athletic allegiances. “Give up!” he/she says, “Your pain and longing are futile. Your love of sport is no more meaningless than the future generations of numberless proles hawking counterfeit goods and shipping them for free.”
It’s touching. I’m just not sure what’s it’s touching.

Nice.
Just for that, I’ve banned xinyue252252 without deleting his comments. (Of course, if he signs up again using “xinyue252252,” I may do another ban that deletes everything, which is what happened the last time I tried to leave one of his comments that drew a reply thread.)
Go 'Dawgs!
Bitter refutation
Are you implying, sir, that our loyalty regarding collegiate athletics will not come into question on the altar of judgment? Scorn the lower price fast shippment with higher quality that mocks your faith, or find your soul forsaken!
Let us eat drink and be merry
…for tomorrow we will find out that McGarrity never drinks without driving, and he will be pulled over leaving a Michael Bolton concert with a thong belonging to a 27-year-old male asset manager named Darl (“Darla” on the weekends and for special parties) in his lap. We will also find out that he has been the only thing holding Florida back from true domination. He will require us to convert to the metric system. He will conclude that a man named “Fox” should not coach a team comprised of “Dawgs.” And then, at his press conference, he will respond to all difficult questions by giving us the infamous two thumbs up.
That is, if our luck holds.
Welcome back, McGarity. Please oh please prove me wrong.

Totally Surprised

Okay.
Can someone please explain the “totally surprised” tankertoad thing to me? How did I miss this joke?
by hailtogeorgia on Aug 13, 2010 1:50 PM EDT up reply actions
Short version:
Every time something bad happens (particularly a loss to a major rival or a player arrest related to riding a scooter and/or not having a valid driver’s license), tankertoad chimes in with a “totally surprised,” which is his wry way of noting that, the way our luck has been running lately, we shouldn’t have expected anything any better, even though we ought to be able to fix these recurrent problems.
To answer your next question, yes, I admire tankertoad’s concision.
Go 'Dawgs!
Also, . . .
. . . you can type in “totally surprised” in the “search posts and comments” box in the upper right-hand corner of the page to get the full history of the phrase.
Go 'Dawgs!
This is a great day
in Bulldog Nation. Hide your butter. I’m soooooo jacked!

Every time DavetheDawg makes a joke involving butter, . . .
. . . it cracks me up, without fail.
I may ask DavetheDawg to speak at my funeral, just so he can make a butter joke.
Go 'Dawgs!
May I suggest....
That we have a ceremonial stick of butter adorning the bar/table area when we meet up October 2nd?

Of course that may interfere with . . .
our goal of making the broader community realize that we blog people are normal human beings too.
So yeah, we should definitely do it.
I can see that we're going to have to appoint a spokesperson.
Someone has to be in charge of saying, “Why, no, officer, we don’t have a permit for sacrificing that goat, but, yes, officer, I’m pretty sure it’s legal to have that much butter upon your person without it being considered ‘resale weight.’”
Yeah, I think we’re really going to regret not having NCT there to be our designated mouthpiece for dealing with the federales.
Go 'Dawgs!
I just had a scary thought:
What if they add butter to the bailiwick of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms?
Since it’s a law enforcement agency charged with regulating stuff that is legal, it wouldn’t be any dumber than it is already if they made it the ATFB.
Go 'Dawgs!
any chance of
yankee cops???? if so, i’m pretty sure i can bat my eyelashes & talk real sweet and get us all out of it…if not, he better be a dawg fan :)

My attendance
The likelihood of my being able to attend increased just a little when the game time was moved. But if I do make it, I’m not sure how good I’ll be at speaking with armed officers after having taken le Grand Tour de Géorgie.
Kyle...I'm surprised you haven't mentioned...
the obvious correlation between 1980 and 2010 (and if you have, I apologize in advance). As any enthusiast of meteorology & college football history will attest to, 1980 was the hottest Summer on the record books…2010 is catching up. Now, all we need is a “purloined pig!”
How 'Bout Them Dawgs!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right now, wherever you are, go outside, turn around three times, and spit.
Dang it, now we’re going to have to sacrifice two goats!
Dude, we never suggest that the upcoming season bears even the slightest similarity to 1980! It’s hubris! It’s folly! It’s the kiss of death! It’s like walking through the Old Testament with a “Smite Me” sign taped to your back!
Crap, now we may have to have guys on duty sacrificing goats at the Arch all night! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go re-read William Faulkner’s The Hamlet, in preparation for MaconDawg and me going out to buy a herd of goats. . . .

Kyle...things have changed...
Trust me…they have….we’re leaving the Old Testament and walking into the New!
But if you need to get the goats, I would recommend a Goat Farmer from Newton Co….help support our local farmers.
How 'Bout Them Dawgs!
Well played.
Honestly, though, I feel like we’ve been turning the other cheek for a while now.
Go 'Dawgs!
Absolutely!
John Crowe Ransom wrote a book called God Without Thunder, to which the subtitle was An Unorthodox Defense of Orthodoxy.
If I wrote a book subtitled An Unorthodox Defense of Orthodoxy, its title would not be God Without Thunder, but rather Judaism With Barbecue.

The First Annual Dawgsports Sacrificial Goat Roast
If that doesn’t scream commemorative t-shirt, I don’t know what does.

Nice.
The “First Annual” part was what made it art.
On the back, the shirt will say: “I’m so jacked, I just sacrificed a stick of butter!”
Go 'Dawgs!
