The Tide has rolled in


Crimson Tide defeats UGA in an upset 41-30 between the hedges.

Ok, so I promised that I wouldn't talk trash to Georgia fans during the game. I did this for two reasons.

1. A game can shift momentum at any time and...
2. I have more class than that

But... the game is over, and now the insult to injury can begin and my class can go out the window. I think I'll start with the blackout. How foolish does UGA look after their mega-loss to the Crimson Tide after all the hype about the spiffy black jersies? I warned in my last post that all the black jersies and barking wasn't going to win UGA anything, but their talent would. Well at least I was right about one thing! I think it's safe to say that the Tide put an end to UGA's infamous blackouts for awhile. See, I told you guys black jersies wouldn't win you anything.

Next, Knowshon Moreno was more like 'No'shon Moreno. Where the hell was he? All I heard about for days before the game was Knowshon this and Knowshon that. Don't get me wrong, I know he is talented, but apparently the Tide was too much for Moreno to handle. And just because low blows are kinda fun ... What was up with that stupid mohawk?

The offensive line for UGA is young and one that will certainly grow as the season progresses and probably mold into a strong line in a year, but they were no match for our defensive line stacked with our center, Mount Cody, Dont'a Hightower and our offense is far superior at this point. Andre Smith, Antoine Caldwell, Mark Ingram, Glen Coffee and need I even mention Julio Jones all had fantasic games.

Quarterback control is key to this game and John Parker Wilson had a near perfect game. His arm strength, although, not what he is known for, was fantasic. He was in complete control the entire game, never faltering. He carried himself like a true leader. Stafford on the other hand had a tough game. Poor guy, probably is still sleeping off our wrath.

Nick Saban straight up outcoached Richt and Bobo. He was prepared for the game and instead of worrying himself with how his players would dress, he stuck to calling the shots. (Ouch, even that was too harsh for me). Let's just say those White jersies work just fine for us.

But now that all is said and done I will give UGA a much needed pep talk. Don't worry. I am certain UGA will bounce back from this. It is likely that you will contend in the SEC East, and if that is true, then it is also likely that the Tide will see you again in the SEC championship. Except maybe this time, you guys will stick to your more traditional red jersies : )

Let the Munson bashing begin


For those of you who liked Larry Munson, I advise you to NOT read this. But for the rest of us with a sense of humor, please enjoy this Munson bashing e-mail as written by my father. NOTE: My father passionately disliked this man. ENJOY!

After 43 years of mediocrity UGA will finally be forced to put a professional announcer in the booth. Larry Munson, a joke of a man, has seen fit to retire and give all of us a break. This poor-mouthing weasel, who wouldn't know a spread formation from a power "I" if it bit him on his bulldog ass has finally decided to spare us anymore of his histrionics and retire to a life of fondling college girls in dark movie theaters. Back in '66 this buffoon couldn't find work up North so he wandered aimlessly to Georgia, where after a quick stop in Nashville, he convinced Vince Dooley that he was capable of handling the announcers chores. His worn out phrases and complaining about everything from the weather to the stadiums to the buses became old twenty years ago. Now a real announcer with a family to support will have the opportunity to call play by play and bring the game to life. This day could not have come any quicker to suit me. There is a reason why Woody Harrelson's character in "Kingpin" was named Munson. One of the great losers of our time.

College football preview: Tide rolls into Athens this weekend

A look back:

Greetings my faithful football fans. I think its safe to say that once again, another fantastic football Saturday has ended, and some of us are more pleased than others...

If you are an Auburn fan, chances are you are pissed off, as you should be, over your loss to Les Miles and his crew of misfits, a.k.a. The Ragin' Cajuns. I get your angst, but I do not sympathize with you, as we have all been beat by the Cajuns. Besides, we all know Miles is an idiot, who without the talent -- recruited by Nick Saban -- would not be where he is today. But more on Cajun bashing later.

If your a Tennessee fan, chances are you are feeling hopeless, as you should be, over your garbage can of a season thus far. You guys have problems, major problems, starting with an offense that is out of sync. Your special teams are anything but, and your coach... well I will leave that one alone.

If you are a Georgia fan, than there is no doubt you are feeling superior, as you should not, because you haven't played a real game yet this season. Joe Cool, aka Coach Mark Richt and your team will have your challenges this season, starting with your black out game against, No. 8, Bama. All your barking and black jersies will not win you anything, but your talent will, so stick with that. I will keep my critisism of you to a minimus for two reasons: One, we play you this Saturday, and two, you do have talent that will take you to the championship.

If your an LSU fan, there is no doubt you are also feeling superior, as you should be as the reiging National Champtionship team, but mark my words Baton Rouge ... Your days are numbered!! You guys just won't go the hell away!

If your an Arkansas fan, you have realized that you are a drastically different, and far inferior team without Houston Nutt, Felix Jones and Darryn McFaden. Too bad so sad. Petrino's best hope right now: Start planning for next year buddy.

If you are a Florida fan, good for you. I dont like you, Urban Meyer or Tim Tebow the annointed one, but I dont have to. However, I do have to except that you are playing great football and that you will contend in the SEC this year and will, WITHOUT A DOUBT win some big games... Cocktail Bowl anyone?

If you are a Vandy fan, you are probably hopeful, thats what a win over The Evil Genius Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks will do for you. Keep it up and you may be able to ruin somebody else's Saturday this season...I would put money on it.

And, if you are an Alabama fan like me, you are smiling ear to ear, but nervous as you should be. John Parker Wilson has come back this year a completely different QB than last year. Terrence Cody, Mark Ingrahm, Julio Jones, Andre Smith, Caldwell, Grant and Javier Arenas have SHOWED up big so far. While Saban's second year as the King of Tuscaloosa is already ahead of schedule, we have no easy season ahead of us. Let's start with Georgia and go from there. this will be no easy win, if a win at all, neither will our games in Baton Rouge, and dare I say Knoxville. So lets not get ahead of ourselves. We are far better than anyone, even us, thought we would be this year, but are we good enough to beat Georgia? We will know soon enough!
