University of Georgia football is a little over a week away. The Bulldogs hope to rebound from a disappointing 2010-2011 campaign, where the red & black attack suffered embarrassing loses to Mississippi State, Colorado, and Central Florida, and ended the season with an overall losing record. For the time in his career, Coach Mark Richt starts the season on the hot seat and fans are pining for a return to glory.
Georgia ditched their customary Division-2 warm up game to play #7 Boise State Broncos at the Georgia Dome in the Chick-fa-la Kickoff Classic in front a national televised audience. Coach Richt justified the switch, stating that Georgia’s return to prominence starts with beating prominent programs, and he’s right. The ascension starts September 3, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. After the Blue Ponies, the Dawgs host #12 South Carolina, who many consider the frontrunner to win the SEC East. I think the Gamecocks were one and done. After the Chickens, Costal Carolina travels to the Classic City for a beat down, the Ole Miss [Confederate] Rebels. Yeah I typed it.
Georgia continues their march through the Magnolia State teams as the host #20 Mississippi State Bulldogs. Revenge is a dish best served cold. The Dawgs leave the Magnolia State teams for the Volunteer State teams, playing Tennessee and the “richer” less successful brother Vanderbilt in back-to-back weekends.
The Bulldogs travel to Jacksonville to share “The World’s Largest Cocktail” with #23 Florida Gators. The Dawg faithful need this win, it’s been too long. The Bulldogs return to Athens to take on New Mexico State and enjoy homecoming week festivities. The “Defending National Champion”, #19 Auburn Tigers will be Between the Hedges, minus Cam Newton and Nick “Body Slam” Fairly. The Kentucky Wildcats come to town the following week, and Georgia ends their season against the “North Avenue Trade School” – Georgia Tech on November 26, 2011.
The Bulldogs is definitely navigable. I hope this team can redeem ole Georgia. This fan needs something to cheer for.
