Bye gawd that's Pat Dye's music!

Sweet Georgia! Dye stirring the pot
Associated Press
Just in case the hype for Saturday's Georgia-Alabama game wasn't hot enough, former Auburn coach Pat Dye fanned the flames -- and then some -- during a radio interview earlier this week in Birmingham, Ala.
Rather than just stop at predicting that host Alabama (No. 22 AP) would beat Georgia (No. 6 ESPN/USA Today, No. 7 AP) in their Southeastern Conference showdown, Dye launched this missive: "I don't believe Georgia's man enough to beat Alabama."
Dye repeated that statement twice when prodded by radio host Paul Finebaum, the Columbus (Ga.) Ledger-Enquirer reported Wednesday.
"Alabama is gonna line up and run the football and they're gonna play defense and I don't believe Georgia is man enough to beat that," Dye said.
The words hit Georgia players like a sledgehammer.
"Wow! That one hurts," senior offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb told the Ledger-Enquirer on Tuesday. "That's a bold statement. I guess we'll find out Saturday. It stings a little bit when you hear your team is not man enough. That has some bite to it."
Added defensive end David Pollack, "The former head coach for Auburn said that? That's interesting. He's not dressing out, is he?
"There's a million coaches out there in the stands who don't dress out and think they know what they're talking about," Pollack told the newspaper. "Everybody is entitled to their opinion. We'll see what he says afterward."
Dye, a former Georgia player, could not be reached for further comment by the Ledger-Enquirer on Tuesday. His remarks were the basis for the first question for Georgia coach Mark Richt at his weekly press conference Tuesday.
"That would be good stuff (for the bulletin board)," Richt said with a smile.
Dye said the Bulldogs' most respected opponents thus far, Clemson and South Carolina, "ain't close to what Alabama is, and those were both close football games."
Dye was best known for winning with the ground game at Auburn. Though freshman quarterback Brodie Croyle adds more passing potential to Alabama's attack, the Tide is still best known for the kind of power football that appeals to Dye.

You’ve been on a tear today, man. Haven’t seen you this active since the days when we saw Tbird on a regular basis.
Good to see you, and congrats on a good game Saturday.

What if Saban has been playing 4D chess by taking two weeks to prepare for UGA while Auburn was taking two weeks preparing for Alabama?

I hope they don’t cripple us so bad we won’t have enough left to line up in the “WeedWacker Bowl”
Those UGA Baws are truly brutal in a championship game.

Depends on if Dallas Turner is playing and how good Georgia’s backup QB is.
You weren’t man enough to beat Texas, LSU or Auburn.

Thanks baw. I am having a little fun. And that was a great game. Said it multiple times, I thought A&M was going to play keep away. Great strategy. Only surprise is that you threw the ball much more than I thought you would. Could have gone either way. Glad we got a few stops when it mattered. Good hire on Elko. He is going to have an immediate impact. No learning curve in College Station.

Meh, that wasn't what beat Bama that day. Bulletin board material lasts long enough for you to get punched in the mouth.
This game will come down to what most games come down to. Turnovers and penalties. Turnovers did Aubie in last saturday. Penalties almost did Bama in.

Bama is man enough. I just don't think they're smart or consistent enough.

You should feel really proud about taking out our QB and that hard fought and deserving victory at Auburn. At least it gives you some false hope for what seems to be a beautifully slow and painful death to the Saban era.

Thanks, we do! I hope you're proud of your team too even though they kind of sucked this year.

I still remember that game. Dye knew damn well what he was doing.
