#4 Georgia 10, #16 Florida 14

The World’s Largest Cocktail is over – the bars have closed, the students have gone home, and now the only thing left is the hangover. This hangover wasn’t caused by alcohol, but rather caused by the fact that I didn’t do a once of schoolwork over the weekend, and now my Black behind is paying the piper big time. Who cares about schoolwork, here’s the recap on the World’s Largest Cocktail.

First off, if you haven’t made it down to Jacksonville, Florida for the annual GEORGIA-Florida game, then you must go! You’ll probably need to book your room within the next five months, but it will be worth it. Jacksonville is one of those cities where you can either ball out – yachts, fancy restaurants, or do it gangsta – the football game and the Landing with all the bars and clubs, or you can do it family – site seeing historic sites, zoos, and museums. I along with Slick and Wubya did a little bit of all three. We stayed in St. Augustine, about 40 miles south of Jacksonville and it was beautiful. The beach was across the way and the historic significant was impressive.

As far as the game goes, Georgia suffered a coaching lost. The players worked with what they had, but ultimately the coaching staff lost this game. Initially, the Georgia G-Unit defense looked beat up and worn down, giving up two quick scores on Florida’s first two drives of the game, but after the first shock and awe of the remixed Florida offense (I call it remixed because the Gators didn’t run their typical spread opinion offense), the G-Unit held Florida scoreless for the next three quarters.

The G-Unit put the Bulldogs in a position to win, but the offense couldn’t finish the drill. Backup quarterback Joe Tereshinski III went 8 of 21 for 100 yards, and had an awesome receiving touchdown from a Thomas Brown pass. Considering this was Joe T’s first start and he was playing against the Bulldogs archrival he did alright, considering his receivers dropped at least four catchable passes. The run game lead by Danny Ware’s 71 yards and Thomas Brown’s 54 yards, helped Joe T, but Georgia as a team (including coaches) didn’t do the things that champions do, like make field goals (Brandon Coutu missed 2), receiver Bryan McClendon and tight end Martraz Milner dropped catchable balls, and Coach Mark Richt called at least two bad plays on 3rd and 18 and 4th and 11.

The Bulldogs are off this week and receive a needed break.
