Damn Good Dawg
quote:
Everyone was going nuts. Jumping around and hugging and yelling and just running every which way while the confetti was flying and the fireworks were going off in the background. But after I scored that game-winning touchdown in the Rose Bowl against Oklahoma to send us to the national championship game, I only had one thing on my mind. The very first thought I had when I crossed the goal line — the VERY … FIRST … THOUGHT — was: Let’s get on that plane right now and get back home to Georgia.
quote:
That walk-off touchdown was one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced, but a few hours earlier it wasn’t looking so good for us. We were down pretty big at halftime, and we weren’t playing well on either side of the ball. Guys were frustrated. Before we could get too down, though, something really great began happening back in the locker room. We all just started looking each other in the eye and putting our arms around one another and saying…. “I got your back.” Just those four simple words … along with a certain look. And I truly believe those words were the turning point in that game for us. It wasn’t about any big rah-rah speeches, it was a more personal. The offensive players were saying it to the defensive guys, and those guys were saying it to us. “I got your back.” We meant it — all of us, to a man — and we came out of halftime determined and focused. The rest is … well you know what happened from there. But those four words have stuck with me ever since. And the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve come to realize that they really signify what UGA is all about. Georgia is all about good people supporting one another and having each other’s backs.
Damn Good Dawg

Guy is a stud - one of the most underrated backs in the country.

He put himself on the map this year. He's always been good but he showed up when the lights were bright this year.

Not a single AU fan did anything in this thread about one of your players praising "your" school. And yet, you bring up Auburn.

Are you impaired in some way?
This isn't a UGA board, you posted an article which I assume was meant for us to read
Given the above post, I can read it to you, if helpful

Very cool read. Sony is an awesome player and guy. I think he will show the country just how good he is in the NFL.

So, it's your opinion that those downvotes did not come from Auburn fans?
And yet, here you are.

Is this going to be a thing?
You guys got your heart broken by Alabama so you can't talk about that, so Auburn is going to be your crutch?
It's really weird.

You can't think of a better insult than nitpicking a fat-finger that was immediately corrected?

Where was the salty Auburn poster in this thread before you made that stupid post?
I'm a fan of Michel, he's gonna be a good NFL back, glad he's gone though.
