re: IMHO, there is Something special about this Dawg team...

I've followed the Dawgs since '66, had season tickets for 30 years and have not been to many games in the last 17 years, but I've seen the highs and lows over the years. This years team is on a mission, players with NFL potential hanging around for another year instead of going for the cash, a workman like attitude that hasn't been seen in Athens in most of CMR's tenure or before and a real team unity that hasn't existed since the "pig incident" in the summer of 1980. Will this team get over the mountain top? Hard to say for sure and I have to be skeptical, as we have all been disappointed when our hopes were up. That being said, the 2012 Dawgs have more than just a shot and the next few weeks will tell the tale as Championship teams find a way to win in spite of the adversity that takes place over the course of the season. It will be interesting!
