Into the Ambush

Saturday's SEC Championship game is fast approaching and I am excited to see how the Bulldogs match up against the Tigers.  I realize the Dawgs are a double digit underdog and all the football "experts" are picking against UGA.  I want to be optimistic because of Georgia's 10-game winning streak, but I am extremely cautious since Louisiana State is the #1 ranked team in the county, and they have beaten all their opponents convincingly (except Alabama).  Further, recent UGA teams have laid down when playing teams in the top ten.

However, I think this Georgia team differs from recent teams because they believe in themselves and they definitely play with heart.  They have been down, but not out.  They have clawed and fought their way out of difficult situations, and they now know how to win close games.

In other news, I did not comment on Larry Munson's passing last week.  My favorite thing about Munson was the fact that he was the ultimate homer.  He did not hide the fact who he was cheering for, and I liked that when I turned into the Bulldog Radio Network, our play-by-play guy loved the Bulldogs as much as did.  For a great "what-if" article on what it would be like if Munson called the UGA-LSU game, please click HERE to read  the AJC's Mark Bradley's article.  It's a great read and if you open your heart, you can hear Munson reading the text.  RIP - Larry!
