Can't Spell SUGAR without....WVU???

Hmmm.....that just doesn't quite fit the way UGA does, huh? And yet, that's what happened tonight. A lot of times people who hate UGA (Cough*Mr. Tommy*Cough*Ben*Cough) claim that we never take blame for our problems or that we blame it all on a good coach, etc. Here is an opinion of a person who actually attends UGA, isn't a "neck", and who watched the game start to finish.
*WVU came into that game and swept the field with UGA's defense. Pure and simple-we were non-existant in the majority of the first quarter and a good bit of the 4th. All other times, the defense for the dawgs wasn't too bad.
* Pat White (Freshman QB for WVU) is amazing and is going to kick some serious butt in the rest of his football career.
*Overall, DJ Shockley did a great job in this game (as well as this season and in the SEC game). He put a lot of points on the board, and it breaks my heart for him that he didn't get to go out with a win. I hope he gets drafted into the NFL.
*Mark Richt should have called a timeout when we had 2min.45sec. left in the 4th quarter. We lost a minute just standing around on the field.
*Our dawgs should have been prepared for the WVU punter to run for first down when he had 3 blockers right up with him. He NEVER should have gotten as far as he did. Chalk that up to poor coaching.

Now, I am not one to jump on Mark Richt's back the moment things go wrong. I like the guy as a person and usually as a coach. He was the SEC Coach of the Year for cryin' out loud. When I say "poor coaching," I am not always referring to him. Our defensive coach is still adjusting to being in charge of the UGA defense, so we have had some rough times this year. But when the game is over, Mark Richt is still the head coach, and you have to admit that it is frustrating when things happen twice...like not calling a much needed and possibly game-changing timeout. (Ex: Auburn, Sugar Bowl). And it's frustrating when our coaches can't get our defense to pull it together until we are over 20 points in the hole. Now, I will hand it to them- we only lost 3 games, including the one tonight, all season. There is something to be said for that, and I think that overall Mark Richt is on the right track with our team. I just hope we can find some good replacements for the players we will be losing.

And I am proud to be a Georgia Bulldawg. A TRUE Georgia girl (who attends UGA-not just a fan) with two Georgia Alum parents, I can honestly say that I'm Bulldog born, Bulldog bred, and when I die, I'll be Bulldog dead. Here's to WINNING our bowl this time next year! GOOOOOOO DAWGS! SIC 'EM! WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!!!!

Love,
Meghan
