By now everyone knows that this is the first SEC Tournament title for UGA in 25 years, and it's only our second SEC Tournament championship ever. Here's another fun fact....
Dennis Felton is only the third active SEC Coach with a Tournament Title.
- Billy Donovan (3) - 2007, 2006 and 2005
- Rick Stansbury (1) - 2002
- Dennis Felton (1) - 2008

Sweet.
Urbain,
I finally posted a link to your site. Sorry for the delay.
I'm glad we won the championship, but.....
CAN I GET AN AMEN ON ALBERT JACKSON'S DUNK AT THE END?
I was almost in tears because I've been preaching to my friends that AJ has the most potential out of everyone. It was like seeing your son walk for the first time. I was in tears, haha. Hope this is a sign of things to come.
It's amazing how many things had to happen throughout this entire tourney for us to even have a remote chance of winning just a COUPLE of games.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with PWD when he said the team never really gave up on Felton. Their effort was undeniable all year with only a few exceptions.
However, Albert Jackson proved to have softer hands and became a solid rebounder. Dave Bliss showed some range Sundiata...well, finally got the hardware we all knew he deserved. Woodbury lit the net on fire. And as a whole, we showed signs of an offense at times.
I'm proud of this team and what they've accomplished. Whether it was guys getting tired of being called losers, a coach finally getting his kids to buy into what he was selling, or the stars and tornadoes aligning to create a perfectly imperfect scenario, our kids did us proud.
Go Dawgs.
That was quite a run. It's a shame so few got to see the games in person due to the tornado. But hey, it kinda adds to the mystique.
In many ways, this will go down as one of the best, and worst SEC Tournaments ever.
UGA is having an official sendoff for the team at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, per Georgiadogs.com. Make an article about it, PWD.
