9-4

Is it possible?

Perhaps more important, is it even worth the time to contemplate?
I say "yes", hence this post.

The odds are beyond infinitesimal....they're beyond microscopic. My name is not Danny Sheridan & I did not go to MIT, RIT, CalTech, or any other school w/"Technology" in it's name. Like Southern Tech in Marietta.

My degree is from the University of Georgia, & I had to take Statistics 101 twice in order to graduate. In 5 yrs (hey, I changed majors & added a minor so blow me).

So - this is based purely on a fan's (skewed) perspective & has no scientific merit whatsoever. Sound familiar?

Here we go:

* To beat Auburn will be difficult. Maybe a 7 on a 10 scale (sorry - no more math or science). Oddly, the home team historically fares well in this contest, & in case you forgot, the game is in Athens. We have a 3 game win streak vs. the War Tigreagles (or whatever mascot they decide on), & have not won 4 straight since Joan Rivers was still alive.
Even if you ignore the trends, Auburn is simply a good football team - at least on offense. And since we play defense like (insert analogy here) , I doubt they will have any trouble finding the end zone.
They may, however, have a tough time finding their way back to the "town" of Auburn, since most tractors don't have Nav systems yet (but there's probably an app for that).
This would appear to be a 50/50 game. That refers to both the score for each team, & the chance of UGA winning.

* While Kentucky is no Duke - wait that doesn't work anymore...I meant to say that KY is no FSU. Either way, we have no business losing to them at home. Or in Lexington, or on a boat, or in a car, or on a train. You get the point.

* GT. Hmmm. Logic (sorry) certainly says we might be better off calling in sick on 11/28 instead of getting our asses handed to us by those T-square jerk-offs who can't even fill 50,000 seats, & wouldn't be caught dead (or at least not w/out 3 or 4 half-lifes left) at Bobby Grant's place 2 yrs ago.
Seriously, if you've seen their games, look at the stands. Watching the Wake game this past week, I noticed large sections of open pasture. Maybe the GT bookstore had a sale on "World of Warcraft" at halftime - I don't know. But it was pretty weak.

Nonetheless, their ball team is fairly good & we will likely get smacked around like Tom Cable's wife/girlfriend/sister/niece/maid/waitress/grandma.
I'm thinking 40-17 if we're lucky.

But (you knew there was a but), this being a rivalry game, perhaps played in nasty conditions, & with GT's BCS bowl on the line....you just don't know. They'll be playing tight as a tick in a cat's ass, & we have nothing to lose. That is, besides a big rivalry game, & our pride. Just those 2 things.

Then the bowl game. Should we come out unscathed at 8-4, one would think that a Peach Bowl (suck it ChikFil-A. This is Atlanta - it's the Peach Bowl. Go kill some more poultry) bid vs maybe Klimpsun (yay - more orange), or VT would be the scenario.

Hence - 9 wins & 4 losses.

So, in summary, if we were to get the aforementioned Mr. Sheridan involved, he would run the data, look at the stats, call Sulu for some help, & tell us that UGA will likely finish 8-5, or 7-6, & that Sammy Sosa has a better chance of being cast as an extra in "Twilight" than we do at finishing 9-4.

Possible? Of course. Probable? No. Likely? Ask me on Sunday.
