Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks Basketball Game Night Open Comment Thread

Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks, Feb 15, 2012 7:00 PM EST


How unimportant is the Georgia Bulldogs' men's basketball game against the South Carolina Gamecocks in the grand scheme of things? It matters so little that the game, which tips off in Columbia, S.C., at 7:00 p.m. Eastern, is being televised on CSS, which, honestly, is worse than not being televised at all.

For the Red and Black, however, this game matters a great deal. The Fox Hounds entered this season with no realistic expectation of earning a second straight NCAA Tournament bid, and they effectively have played themselves out of NIT contention, but a minor tournament remains a possibility, one which would benefit the team tremendously were the opportunity to be afforded.

This game is an absolute must-win for the newly-resurgent Bulldogs. Honestly, if Georgia can't beat a South Carolina team acknowledged by its own fans to be the worst in a watered-down SEC, the Hoop Dogs don't deserve any sort of postseason invitation, and they will not receive one. The Athenians may be in a "win and stay home" scenario, but they're certainly in no better than a "win or stay home" situation, so cheer on the Bulldogs in the comments below.

Go 'Dawgs!

I should have made this a caption contest.

“Is this the play where we run up the middle and then kneel for a 3 yard loss?”

If vineyarddawg had compared Isaiah Crowell to a different set of genitals, . . .

. . . it’d be an ad for condoms, instead.

This game alone the ball has bounced off of some part of his body 3 times.

He's the plucky comic relief.

Better that than the nameless security guard in a red shirt who gets killed before the first commercial break so the audience knows the situation is serious.

Dream scenario of every sporting day:

Georgia wins.

Tech loses.

That’s why we love the days when one guarantees the other.

maybe i'm way over optimistic

but I keep expecting Georgia to make a run in this game.. it’s just not happening though. i like how we are (at least trying to) drive to basket

If you love bland brick buildings and old brick buildings with broken windows that look like they should be condemned...

And hate culture, good restaurants, technology, people, nice houses, fancy apartments, and all the fine trimmings of modern civilization…

Then Auburn is the place to be.

I haven't been to Auburn

since the ‘86 game when the water hoses were turned on everyone. Vowed to never return. It’s a bleak town.
