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 : )
