in order to motivate their players. Saw it on ESPNU.
Anyhow, what game should Joe T and strength coaches pop in the VCR to get the boys' motivated?

Good. I think it will continue to add to Bama's superiority complex. They will continue to view us as cupcakes until they get punched in the mouth tomorrow and taste their own blood. By then, it will be too late.

This^^^^^ , I'm telling you guys, This game is UGA's, and I don't think its even gonna be close when its all said and done. This just goes to show the cracks in the armor for the tide. Evidently, they aren't the confident lot that their fans are.

I still can't understand why they bring this game up every other day. They've won 2 NC's since then. They bring this up more than those 2. Glad we are in their heads.


frick em.

Sounds like a good idea. As others have stated, you can trace one the milestones of our decline back to that game.

This theory makes no sense at all..........if you actually take the time to think about it.

It's basically saying that Alabama beat us at home by 11 points and it was so horrifying and humiliating and awful that it sent the program into a tailspin for years.

Give me a fricking break. That's ridiculous. And gives Alabama waaaaaaaaaaaay too much credit.

The '08 team was chock full of DGDs, but there were more folks looking out for their own individual interests to be a cohesive unit. Stafford, Moreno, Justin Houston, others. DGDs in their own rights on the field, but they were treading water until they could declare for the draft. That mindset spread to some of the younger guys right behind them, and that's when the lack of discipline really started tailspinning in the offseason.

Yes, we've got guys who will leave early for the draft, and more power to them. The distinction this time is that when they leave early this time, they'll do so having contributed to something bigger this season. The ones that could have gone back in the spring stuck around to make sure the team is in exactly the place they are today. There's a unity among this team- a player ownership- that wasn't there 4 years ago.

Maybe but we hyped it with a blackout and proceeded to get blown out in the first half. Stafford and our receivers made a valiant come-back in the 2nd half but it was too little too late. Meanwhile Bama went on to 2 NC's. It was one of too many big games since that led to the reality that UGA has not played well against ranked opponents over a long stretch.

Good let them take all the credit they want. Let em get pumped up about how easy we're gonna be. That's exactly the mindset we want them to come in with.

And for the Dawgs, they don't need to change a damn thing in the way they've been preparing for games since UF. If the coaches try and add in any gimmicks, special ed uni's, motivational videos, hallmark cards, whatever, for added hype, it will be a mistake. When a dog is starving, sometimes all you need to do is turn 'em loose on the raw meat and blood. Nothing else is needed.

And these Dawgs look pretty frickin hungry to me.

It's odd they would show a replay of a game they won, and did it fairly easily.

Good. Keep playing that shite, over and over. Like others have stated, I think Bama is coming in overconfident. We look hungry, especially the defense. They're playing pissed, like somebody slapped their mama. I think it may resemble the UF game, close, with us physically dominating them. Better fill up the ice baths. It's gonna be a rough one. GATA DAWGS!!!
