Our Last Trip to Kentucky


That photo is from the DawgPost.com archives. In that game, the Cats beat the hell out of Stafford, and he had one of the worst games of his career. It was the last negative game before the turnaround in Auburn. The defense in that game (particularly the linebackers) was awful giving up play after play on the final game winning Kentucky drive.

Georgia is a much better, much older team now than then. But the team can't forget what happens when you roll into Lexington feeling sorry for yourself. You end up watching the other team tear down their goal posts in front of you.

I was on the field after that game was over. It was the biggest win for Kentucky in a while and it also made us bowl eligible if I'm not mistaken.

I'm not expecting a repeat of UGA's last visit to Commonwealth on Saturday, though.

Georgia's players and coaches have a choice to make. They can (A): assume the position; or (B) show up, play with abandon because they have absolutely nothing of value to lose, kick ass and redeem themselves somewhat.

There is no way this season will be remembered as anything but a disappointment in the short term. But it will really be a turd if Georgia gets beat by Kentucky, Auburn and/or (Heaven Forbid It) Georgia Suckass Tech.

Georgia's players and coaches need to remember that it ain't if you get knocked down, it's if you get up again. So don't let Florida beat you two weeks in a row.

The players need to remember they are wearing the Red and Black. They have G's on their helmets. That stands for something where I come from.

Personally, if I had the talent and ability to play for Georgia, I would want to punish Kentucky for daring to show up on the field after that game last week.

I want to start a campaign called, "Take It Out on TECH!" Lets win these last 2 games and then just take out all the frustrations on tech and make them limp back to North Ave. Last game for the Seniors and last home game before we start the National Championship season of 2009!!!

I hope im wrong but i think we come out flat as hell and just go through the motions for about a quarter or 2.

Hunkering Hank - Coach Richt couldn't have said it any better himself. He needs to skip any speeches and read what you wrote! Well said!! After a week of being down about the dawgs, you got me fired up again.

Is the offensive line older this year than last year?

UK's defense is not as good as it was last year and neither is the offense.

"we got to keep on sawing wood". martinez is starting to sound (and coach) like ray goof.

ugagirl24, It got me fired-up too. The best part, in my opinion: "They have G's on their helmets. That stands for something where I come from."

So damn true, so damn true. Get After Their Asses, boys! Go Dawgs!

I've been known to fire up a girl every now and then.

4+ to that.

Or +4, +1, whatever it is you do to say high-five.

I am worried, however, we're going to be playing another early game against Auburn. And the Tech game, who knows what time that'll come to. I'd like at least one of the last two games to be a normal tailgate time-frame. Tech, at home, in the late afternoon would do wonders leading up to the new year.

I was at that game and it was horrible. When I go to the game this weekend, I hope it is more like 4 years ago than 2 years ago. :)

Andy - the part about their helmets was my favorite part too. And your and hunkering hanks comments made me laugh!!

I heard all you DAWG fans were staying home this weekend?!? Go figure...you are known for ditching your team.

Last time you slept on my CATS, I stormed the field. Your defense is worse now than it was then and your "Know-Show" Moreno takes too many plays off.

I heard Stafford has "the clap" and has been having symptoms from the medication? Is that true? Just curious...

Anyway, GO CATS!!!! We have been eyeing UGA all year! I can't wait to drag the goalpost down Main!

GO GATORS!

soooo....UK gets blown out by florida and you reply "go gators"

what a tool

the tri guy said...

Yeah, it's true, he got it from Urban's wife. Turns out she was right what comes around going around. What an idiot. Make up your mind, are you a UK fan, a UF fan, or a Tech fan that just prays someone else beats UGA since your team can't?

See? Told ya. ;)

Damn, this one hurt. Nice job by Stafford.
