I was there and while all the pissy dawg fans around me left (pissy cause I kept mocking Richt and Grantham but I always do that) we all stayed around drinking out flask saying "THIS IS ALL A PART OF GRANTHAM'S PLAN, BOY! GONNA LULL THEM TO SLEEP" and I'll be damned if that isn't exactly what happened.

Don't forget, though, we did that with a decimated WR corps and RB corps. And with a brand new, very young defense that was being coached to fail.

We had Bennett and Conley back by then I believe and we had Gurley but the problem was the OL. They were completely dominated. We couldn't even START the running game let alone set it up. That's why I admired what Bobo did. He saw the giant turd the OL, OTs in particular, were laying as per usual and he adjusted to the short passing game that devastated AU. Ask any sane AU fan and they agreed that was the only reason our offense sparked back to life and Murray threw it masterfully

The defense? frick Grantham, that's all I have

And we still were just one batted-down ball away from beating them at their place.

Not doubting that at all and it'll forever haunt me like seeing Conley catch the ball right in front of my seat in 2012. I just didn't like the phrasing "whipping" cause Georgia was essentially routed for 3 quarters and I don't want to give Georgia more credit than they deserve that day

Murray was the reason we came back in that game, but a lot of the reason we fell behind in the first place should be gone, so ....

Hope so!

I had a friend when I was a student that almost got me killed. By Georgia fans. He'd insult Dooley at the top of his lungs, but he'd save his loudest blasts for our QB at the time - James Jackson (the Thrilla from Camilla).

We were at home playing Clemson, and my buddy is just shouting down at the field: JAMES JACKSON - YOU'RE SHITE!!! JAMES JACKSON - YOU'RE SHITE!!!!

Finally we noticed an odd silence coming from behind us. We look back and there's about three rows of UGA fans with their arms crossed staring daggers at us. One of 'em finally says: "HEY! We're from Camilla."

So my buddy looks up at them and yells, "WELL ..... JAMES JACKSON IS SHITE!!!!!!"

I guess they figured he was too crazy to frick with, 'cause they left us alone after that.

And in my friends defense, James Jackson did cost us that game by mysteriously dropping the ball with no one around him as he was about to go into the end zone.
