Georgia Wants Desperately For You To Love Them

What an awful couple of BCS games. I stopped watching the Sugar Bowl at halftime, sometimes flipping back from TCM's showing of the 1960 classic "The Time Machine" to see if Hawaii had bothered to come back. It was a horrible game. Horrible. Georgia fans obviously don't think so. Kyle over at the Georgia blog Dawg Sports states:

Last night, the 'Dawgs served notice that they are a force to be reckoned with in college football. Georgia no longer may be considered merely a regional power.


They beat the hell out of Hawaii in a game where the island team didn't belong on the same field. It was like watching a Div IA power play a Div IAA power team - there was a clear difference in the level of talent. I don't know what it is for me that I've never considered Georgia to be an elite team. I don't have anything against them, but they just seem like they're never complete.
Maybe that'll change next season, but last night's destruction of Hawaii is no indication that Georgia is some kind of powerhouse. That's not their fault. Blame the BCS for these crappy games.


USC destroyed Illinois in a game where it was clear that Illinois was a young team still in the rebuilding process. No proclamations from USC blog Conquest Chronicles about where they are, though.

So there you have it. We will have more tomorrow and more during the week. Another great Rose Bowl win for SC and another dominating performance for the defense as they came to play and set the tone early.


No offense to Kyle, but what we see here is the difference between a program that's already there, and a program that wants desperately to be recognized as a power, to be loved and adored, but mostly respected.
To Georgia fans - if you're that good, you'll get there, but don't use the Sugar Bowl as some sort of bellwether game. It just looks silly.

The problem

is that we sort of did the same thing with the Nevada game.  I think alot of us (me included) proclaimed "Nebraska is back."  And after stumbling through the WF game, and getting our rears booted all over the field by USC it was obvious, we weren't.  THE WORST PART OF THE WHOLE DEAL IS EVEN NEVADA WENT TO A BOWL GAME!!!!

But the UGA-Rainbows game was definately not any sort of a measuring stick for the UGA program.  The SEC and the WAC is like comparing Olympic athletes to Jr. high athletes.

But anyway

congrats UGA, you beat the opponent the BCS put up for you.  Even thought they were weaker you still went out and beat them.

Seems like the Pinkel Tigers should have been there instead.

I can't believe I just said that...

Despite the Mizzou Argument

All I saw yesterday between USC/Illinois and UGA/Hawaii were a couple of teams that were damned if they do and damned if they didn't.  They were supposed to walk all over a wide-eyed team in the Rose Bowl and a WAC team that passes 85% of the time.  I do enjoy Hawaii's war dance, though.

Georgia Has Seat at the Table

Given the total domination of Hawaii by Georgia, if there is talk of a split National Championship, they belong in the conversation.  The Bogus Championship Series has foisted these weak games on the American Public.  Georgia is playing at a very high level right now.
