Georgia people - fans, players, coaches, whoever else - do not fear Auburn. Georgia's beaten Auburn 6-out-of-8. 7-out-of-8 if not for two cretin DBs who are no longer on the team. Four of those wins were blowouts. Georgia has cleared out Auburn's stadium by the middle of the fourth quarter twice in the last five times they've played there.
Auburn is goofy and neurotic. Always has been and always will be.

Your defense is still suspect and you have a less talented Joe Cox playing QB. 8-5 again.

Ole Miss hasn't been halfway relavent since segregation when all of their players were named Buzz Elwood and Elmore.

What's that got to do with Georgia? Congrats on your championship 35 years ago.

Man that's crazy you say that because I was thinking about two different things, #1- I feel very good about Georgia this season. My Dawg memory gets vivid around 1991 or 1992. Since that time there are four seasons that I was most excited about - 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012.
2000 didn't work out because Quincy Carter was a geek monster and Jim Donnan was a fraud.
2004 didn't work because we had one too many players with NFL-itis and one foot in the NFL door.
2008 was a repeat of 2004, as well as injuries.
2012 started out slow, but we ended five yards away from playing in the BCSCG and waxing Notre Dame.
This season ranks right up there with any of those, save 2008 (that was one of the most talented rosters in SEC history). This season I think that we're gearing up to kick a bunch of arse. Everyone likes to think of themself as a "realist," even when they're not, myself included. For example I told anyone who would listen last summer that we were about to lose to Clemson. This year will be different. There's a special arse whooping awaiting Clemson. New quarterback making his first career start on the road in Sanford Stadium. Last year we had one of our five youngest defenses since WWII, but we still almost one in Clemson's stadium, despite having our two biggest offensive weapons getting injured in that game.
Also awaiting a special arse whooping is Auburn. It will be similar to 2011, when we could've beat them 65-7 if we'd have kept our foot on the pedal (77-0 the following season at Auburn). It won't be quite as convincing as 2011, but it will be thorough. Auburn will be overwhelmed and each player will limp back home to his respective trailer park.
South Carolina is the only game that I'd put us as an underdog. I'd say 60/40 South Carolina wins. What South Carolina has been able to do at home really is impressive. They have the longest home field winning streak in the country and they stomp people in Columbia. They really started to build momentum with the 2010 Alabama game - something like 37-17. Last time we played there, the game was over by the second quarter. I still don't know exactly what the hell happened.
Todd Gurley is an NFL Pro Bowl running back right now who happens to be playing in college. I've never seen anything like him at Georgia - Hearst, Moreno and whoever else. His instincts and the way that he knows where the chains are and wiggles for first downs is amazing. Gurley also has wide receiver skills. He was a top 10 receiver (statistically) during the second half of last season.
Jeremy Pruitt will be a huge upgrade. Anyone who says that Florida State's defense was "stacked" last season wasn't paying attention. The reason that they were "stacked" is because Pruitt coached them up and put them in positions to succeed, which is what great coaches do. Go back and read your preseason magazines from last season. Florida State's defense was "rebuilding" and "retooling" and rewhatevering. They had 7 defensive players drafted and were supposed to fall off. Instead Florida State had the best defense in the country.
"Changing the culture" is the most irritating and overused business-speak term in sports, but I suppose that it fits with Pruitt. He's changed everything - the way we practice, the way we prepare, our recruiting, our football support staff and whatever else.
BUT, it's college football and what can go wrong will go wrong. That's the motto of a Georgia Bulldog fan. With a little luck, however, I definitely think that we can be there at the end of the season and whatnot.

That was Holtz's first big win at SCAR. UGA rolled-in with both Carter and Seymour talking big, Carter was a Heisman candidate and Seymour a local boy who claimed Holtz didn't recruit him .... and Carter proceeded to throw something like four or five interceptions in that game while Derek Watson ran for 140 yards and three TDs over Seymour.
Y'all were never the same afterwards.

Answer those questions, and you'll have your answer to how we will do in 2014.
Yes.
Very likely.
Yes.
Our questions are all in the passing game this year. On both sides of the ball.

Georgia has the backs to run, but do they have the line to block? Georgia has the most of the front seven to stop the run, but what about the pass? These questions will define ugas season this year.
I'm not saying I know the answers to these questions, cause I don't.
And before you say anything about how UT has the same questions (plus many more), trust me, I know. This is not a flame.
