Georgia Bulldogs – That 70′s Show
The Georgia Bulldogs were very fortunate to escape the confines of Home Sweet Hedges with a victory this past Saturday night. The South Carolina game final score was close as usual, but with some offense thrown in for a change. 41-37? That was supposed to be last weeks score at Okie State! Man, I’m confused!
Back in the day, we didn’t score 41 points in our two SC victories combined(28). That was strange. Something that did look familiar though is the bend don’t break defense, big plays on special teams and winning ugly. I felt like it was 1978 all over again.
I want to apologize on behalf of those late 1970′s and even the 1980 team. I hope you all will forgive us for putting you through such torture, such frustration and contributing to your collective drinking problems. I was at home watching that dang game Saturday night and even though Rennie Curran kept me among the living, I still lost several years off my life.
I never knew why people criticized Coach Dooley so harshly. Now I do. Heck, I’m even mad at him right now. Just kidding coach! I can’t tell you how many games we were outgained and seemingly outplayed but still found a way to win.
People said we were lucky.
Coach Russell said, “I’d rather be lucky than good”.
Coach Dooley said, “Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet”.
I sure hope we continue to court ‘Ole Lady Luck and treat her right and make her happy. I wouldn’t want to piss her off. I think we are going to need her.
Ah, this younger generation. Somehow, if your team doesn’t win by 3 scores and rack up 500 yards it tarnishes the victory.
Remember Georgia/Florida 1975? I don’t think we crossed midfield all day until Appleby-to-Washington. Who wouldn’t take one of those victories this year against the Gators?

in my opinion, the players earned the victory over South Carolina..the coaches are lucky to have players bail them and their silly schemes/gameplans out. Coach Mark Richt may be the luckiest head coach in the SEC right now, but what Coach Dooley said has seemed to hold true in a lot of ways.

Without them or then, where would our beloved “Junkyard Dawgs” be? Or James Brown at the Gator Bowl?
We were lucky then, no doubt. ‘Ole Lady Luck, where are you now? If you’re tossin’ the ball up there with dear old Erk and the Godfather of Soul, get back here pronto, PLEASE? If not, maybe just drop some sugar from the sky for us?
We’re never seniors until we forget to remember which side we’re on. Go Dawgs!
And Rex, I’m serious, dig out the archives and find us a Razorback to talk smack too.

Dawgs of the Senior Citizen variety have kept the 12-step folks busy since the 70′s, Sir. But, we want to THANK YOU for your woefully belated apology nonetheless.
