No TV coverage? No problem.

Evening folks.

So the Dogs just flubbed another game. Stumbled & fumbled their way to another loss to another inferior opponent.
The stomach is too turned to watch - reading Emerson's rantings & "watching" on ESPN.com (at this point, UGA ain't even good enough to warrant a blip on the ESPN3 radar. Nope - can't even see it on the old computer. Relegated to viewing the award winning graphics created by the geeks in Bristol).

Living outside of SEC viewing territory is usually annoying as all hell, but today it was a blessing. All the furniture is still intact, the dog still has all 4 limbs attached, & my knuckles ain't bleeding.
And I got to see some great games - Dartmouth & Penn went to OT in a real a nail biter/barn-burner. Edge of my seat.

But it's not all bad, as I was able to watch both Ga Tech & Alabama, & was extremely impressed by both teams - for very different reasons.
* GT - not much of a showing on the ground for a Paul Johnson team, but they were down 2 scores in the 4th qtr & pulled off a 3 pt win. Showed tons of grit, never lost focus or confidence & showed how to get it done despite playing poorly against a very mediocre team.
* Bama - wow. You just don't do that to Florida. Especially Urban Meyer's Fla team. Bama pounded them like a screen door in a hurricane. Yeah the Gators did have some stupid turnovers, & "held" the Ingram/Richardson beast in check for much of the 2nd half. But good grief. Even Bama's 3rd string RB looked like a Heisman candidate. They are the epitome of a true SEC team & exactly what I dream about when I fall asleep on the couch reading The Economist.
They play defense - really well
They run the ball - really, really well.
They force turnovers - often.
(are you reading this Mark?)

It does not seem possible nor plausible that anyone will be able to put together 4 qtrs good enough to beat the Tide.
I just don't see it.

Coach Richt - take note. Have your staff make a few dozen copies of each Bama game & give them to all your coaches. Make them watch them - every day. The whole season. They should watch as much Bama film as they do on the upcoming opponent.

That is an SEC football team, & that is what the Dogs need to strive for. Nothing less.
