Talk about ballsy..we were incredibly lucky that it worked out.



I wouldn't call it ballsy as Les Miles later admitted he had no idea there was so little time remaining on the clock.

Last play of the 2012 SEC Championship game. Spike. The. Ball. Instead, that hurry-up play very likely cost UGA an MNC.


Get over it! Alabama left as many if not more points off the board than Georgia. The better team that day and that season won. Boohoo!

Not yanking Garcia in the 2011 Auburn game.

Letting that alcoholic play any snaps at all that year actually


Garcia should have lost his starting job, permenantly, after the second fumble against Auburn in 2010 at Auburn. Shaw should have started every game since IMHO.

But the 2010 Kentucky game up there was Spurrier's worst coached game IMHO. A lot of the blame goes to Ellis Johnson but still, we should have outscored them easily if Spurrier had not panicked after Lattimore went down.

Wow... I just listed one of the biggest WTF moments I've ever seen as a UGA fan, and you read it as whining. Y'all won, okay? You can snuggle back up in your 'Bama PJs and go back to sleep dreaming of The Bear. :)

BTW, Richt later discussed that play, mentioning that a football guru said the hurry-up play was the better percentage play, and that he'd do it again. Still, it stunned me when I saw it - I literally screamed at the TV.

Les Miles is the king of coaching blunders. He normally does very well, but when he messes up...egg on everyone's face. It's sort of impressive.

If by impressive, you mean he likely cost LSU 2 NC's, then yes!

Current coach? Muschamp with the onside kick attempt in the Sugar Bowl.
All time? Zook doing an onside kick attempt knowing that we had only 9 players on the field. Gotta keep that element of surprise I guess.

That's acceptable. Some UGA fans act like they blew the game, when in all actuality, it never should have gotten to 21-10. I don't think Alabama's secondary and rushing defense could play much worse than they did that day; the same could be said for your rushing defense although they had several other bad games, so it's not like the Alabama game was an anomaly. I accept that it was a good and bad game for Alabama. The ground game was great, a huge play here and there is part of the game: we traded a 45 yard pass against your respectable secondary for a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown. Our secondary was ugly, and we're glad that you didn't have enough time for 3 more plays at the end.

Bobby Petrino's motorcycle ride


John L Smith - So much to choose from during the 2012 season. Not that it hadn't been seen before because it definitely had during that season, but the SC game was my personal favorite. Playing ultra conservative while Arkansas still had an opportunity to win the game and then calling an on side kick after Arkansas scored a garbage time TD with less than a minute left. The ULM game and the way the team absolutely quit in many second halves of subsequent games.

You forgot 2nd and 2 and throwing three straight passes in last years' Chick-fil-a Bowl. Not a knock, just saying that one was bad from almost any perspective. A real head scratcher.

Les has definitely had some doozies.

At the same time, that fake FG against us at your place, I forget the exact season, was a brilliant call.

All in all, it was an exciting, competitive game that was hard to watch for both teams because it wasn't very well played.

Be glad Garcia came in and saved our asses vs ECU in Shaw's first start.

Is your Cock bias showing? Clemson earned their win despite spotting LSU 2 touchdowns and losing a "big player" on their opening series. Yes, LSU had a chance to win it, but Clemson was the better team that day.
