SEC championship official game thread

[JerryBeeds]

Tigers and Dawgs. Let's get it on!

[JBryant12]

Go Dawgs!!!! Represent the east well...plus i think it helps our chances of gettin to the Peach bowl :)

[Foxman]

Go Tigers!! I got money on this game :P

Holy crap! it was fumbled on the kickoff and almost recovered by LSU. And an LSU player is down

[Foxman]

7-0 Georgia. And, Georgia picked off Russell, 3rd and 3 at LSU's 45.

[jneesy]

me thinks dem tigers in a whole heap o trouble

[OmahaBound]

I would imagine the only chance we have at the Peach is if Georgia wins....so thank god they're jumping on the Tigers tonight.

[GeorgiaPride]

How Bout Them Dawgs!!!!!!!!!

[SPURED]

How Bout Them Dawgs!!!!!!!!!
dont get ahead of yourself there. there is still ALOT of time left to play in this game

[jneesy]

well the tigers just caught a break....that was a fumble

[hmsdawgs]

The non-fumble..."forward progress was stopped" call is some bullshit. Unbelievable...is this the Auburn game again???

[Djshockley3]

That fumble was BS.My god they are gonna score because of that horrible ass call.

[Djshockley3]

Good drive LSU,14-7.

[jneesy]

i lost count of how many breaks the officials gave lsu on that drive

[hmsdawgs]

That makes 3 calls LSU has gotten...I'm not very happy. Can we get 1 call please!!!???

Disclaimer...I have been drinking heavily the last 4 hours of the day...if I say anything offensive, I apologize early. Sorry.

[Djshockley3]

i lost count of how many breaks the officials gave lsu on that drive



I know,it shouldn't be 14-7.

[OmahaBound]

I would just like to say that I never realized that LSU's fight song is basically a remix of Clemson's fight song. (Lsu was probably first....it's not really the point). Therefore, I can never root for LSU again. I'm sorry Geaux...it's nothing personal. But a) Tigers, b) Death Valley, and now c) just about the same damn song....it's just too much for this Gamecock to take!

As far as the game is concerned....yeah the call was BS, but Georgia still had plenty of time to stop them. Like DJ said, it was just a very solid drive after that one play. I need the Dawgs to win this one though just so I can have some hope for a Peach invite.

On a sidenote, anyone questioning Texas as a top 2 team after today? That was quite a beatdown. If we play Colorado hopefully we can add some to their humilation.

[jneesy]

i think texas beats the hell out of the trojans

[hmsdawgs]

Jneesy...what does that game have to do with this one??? Come on now, support the SEC...The NC game is done with...we've got SEC business to attend to

[hmsdawgs]

Shock for the score baby!!! 21-7...lets keep it up!!!

[SPURED]

wow that was an amazing punt!!!!

[Djshockley3]

Go Dawgs!!Lets keep it up in the second half.I am still very nervous,LSU has a very good team that can easily get back in the game.

[hmsdawgs]

Good sack by the dawgs!!!

[hmsdawgs]

This is looking good baby!!!

[usafbamafan]

Jamarcus Russell is out of the game with a seperated shoulder. I don't think LSU can come back from this kind of deficit without him. It looks like Georgia will be taking home the SEC Championship this year.

[FireDawg]

Man O Man! How bout them DAWGS! Still not done yet. LSU can, and has, come back before. It's 24-7 going into the 4th. (Everyone hold up 4 for the DAWGS). Just got word that Russell's got a seperated shoulder. Here we go boys and girls! Hunker down ALL you hairy DAWGS.

[hmsdawgs]

Lets go dawgs...lets go!!!

[AFWarrior83]

I called that game Chuck, it was a good call to Chuck! I called a lot of good games this year Chuck. (spin off from Nutt post game win over Miss St.) I did say Jaw-Ja was gonna pull it out, and Shock would have a big night. Where is Geaux??? =)

[FireDawg]

Coutou(?) just hit a 51 yarder! My Gosh! Simply awesome!

[AFWarrior83]

Miles is the worst Coach in the SEC, even worse than Nutt... He's so Cocky haha serves him right! I don't care if they only have 2 losses, they would have been UNdefeated playing for the NC again if Saban was still in the Bayou IMO.

Coutu is how you spell it.

[FireDawg]

Jennings! Jennings! Jennings! Go you Hairy DAWGS!!! I smell Sugar!

[FireDawg]

Sorry, my bad. Just a tad hyped up.

[hmsdawgs]

This game is O.V.E.R. Let it be known...I called this game by 10+points by the Dawgs. I told you I had that feeling!

[FireDawg]

You called it hms! Damn near picked off another one.

[Jordan]

Always fun to see a successful onside kick.... too bad they did absolutely nothing with it.

[thethrill]

Congratulations, to all y'all dawgs. I never thought you could put that kind of beat down on LSU. Great game, Great season.

[bamafan0001]

Well I guess its pretty clear who the better team was tonight. Congrats dogs.

[Foxman]

Well I guess its pretty clear who the better team was tonight. Congrats dogs.

Yep, I never would've though that the Dawgs could dominate a great LSU team like they did. Georgia definantly deserves the sugar bowl.

[Djshockley3]

All yeah baby.Go Dawgs!!Man this was a great played game by the dawgs,pretty much mistake free.I honestly couldn't be more happy for DJ.I am so happy his college career is gonna end with a BCS bowl game and a SECC win.Great game LSU,we just played almost to perfection.

[AFWarrior83]

LES MILES SUX!!! Congrats Dawgs, I knew you guys were going to get the Win, I just thought it was going to be closer...

[GatorNation]

This game is O.V.E.R. Let it be known...I called this game by 10+points by the Dawgs. I told you I had that feeling!

East > West

Now it's official.

Thanks, dawgs.

;)

[GeauxTo]

Shadup!
:D
Congratulations to a great Georgia team! D. J. Shockley was magnificent, and the Dawgs were clearly the best team. We were beaten soundly.

Only flaw for UGA:
Richt playing his first stringers right up until the end with a 34-14 lead with two minutes to go... unclassy, especially for a guy like Richt whom I've always thought of as one of the classiest of coaches. Could have gotten some good players injured, like Max getting hurt right at the end. You would expect that from Tubby, but not from Richt. Tubby, though, would probably kick the field goal with 30+ seconds to geaux.

[Foxman]

Amen, brother!

I can't really explain that either.But really Geaux,its DJ's last SEC game.His family was in the stands, it isn't like we were throwing the ball or something.Now unclassy is all the personal foul calls you guys got.And no offense,but Les Miles is a major jerk off. :D

[GeauxTo]

but Les Miles is a major jerk off. :D
Ha-Ha-Ha
No argument there!

No, kicking a field goal on fourth and five would have been unclassy. Instead, Richt went for it knowing that it would turn the ball over without just laying down. At what point would you have suggested putting in the back ups? This team was about seniors, and it's not like they piled it on.

[Djshockley3]

Ha-Ha-Ha
No argument there!
:p



He acted like a baby the whole game.And Geaux man,Mark Richt and DJ Shockley are as classy of guys as they come. :D

I agree,our whole O line almost,Milner,and DJ our seinors.Richt wanted them on the field at the end.

[Djshockley3]

Guys do you see my signature.It says 2005 SEC champs,do you guys know when I put that there.In July,I put that there and my wish came true.

Well, with a big bowl game yet to come, I don't think I would have chanced getting any of them injured with two or three minutes left to go. The seniors still get to play in the Sugar Bowl. Not a big deal, though... just a thought. I wonder if it would have been more to Richt's credit to give his backups some time in such a memorable game. It would probably have made him look even classier before a nationwide audience.

[Bulldog Bry]

After everything DJ's been through, he deserved it.
You gotta give it LSU, they're going to be around for awhile. And what a year they had. I know people say that they should win because they have the athletes, but look at the Vols. It's not always that easy. And I stil can't believe Miles regrouped to win the games he did after those first two games.

[fernandomike]

Outstanding job by the Dawgs! Congrats to DJ, Colonel Kurtz and the rest of the UGA reps on the board. I know that this has to be soooo sweet considering you guys got little mention in the preseason. Your boys put team first and that won them the SEC championship. DJ Shockley should be player of the year in this league hands down in my opinion.

That's a good point, but with LSU, I didn't feel good about the game until about two minutes left. Hell, the onside kick made me nervous. I know the Dawgs D went into "bend, don't break" mode, but that Flynn looked impressive.

At one point, DJ was 3/8 with 2 TD passes.

Pellini should sell his house.

Ya, definitely. Sticking with Georgia all the way up to his junior year behind Green, then winning the SECC on his first starting season. Diffinantly SEC player of the year. Runners up would be maybe some of the LSU players because of the advertisity they had to face.

I'll be rooting for the Dawgs in their bowl (I believe Sugar, right?)

[GeauxTo]

DJ Shockley should be player of the year in this league hands down in my opinion.

I agree. Did you hear what they said about him on TV; that the pros would definitely be interested in not just his athleticism but his passing ability as well. He is definitely a super athlete, a great passer, and a very classy individual.

Shoot... I would like to see them all geaux; with Bourbon Street pretty much out of commission right now, we could probably get Mike Price.
:D

[hmsdawgs]

Great game by the Dawgs!!! I just bought my sugar bowl tickets!!! Heres to seeing the Bull Dawgs in Victory Lane one more time!!! Man what a great feeling!!! This is a good night for the bull dawg nation. Predicted to finish 3rd in the SEC East and we take the championship. Congrats to DJ and the rest of the senior players. That a way to step up to the plate and play like you were capable of!

[GatorNation]

Well, at least you got to the big game. Congrats on a great season!

Spank your bowl victim.

[GAMECOCK_FAN]

Congratulations to Georgia for winning the SECCG! UGA played an exceptional, error-free game, and looked outstanding on both offense and defense. Enjoy your trip to the Sugar Bowl, and win one for the SEC. Again, congratulations on a great season. :cool:

[GeauxTo]

LOL

Well, at least you got to the big game. Congrats on a great season!

Spank your bowl victim.
Thanks, Gateaux.
Here's hoping we all spank our bowl opponents and make the SEC proud.
I hope Georgia kicks the living crap out of West Virginia in the Sugar; it would serve the BCS right to see how ridiculous some of their match-ups can be.

[Bulldog Bry]

LOL


Spank your bowl victim.

Of course now it's time to pull for ALL the SEC teams. I'm sick of these ACC pansies telling me the SEC is down this year. Six SEC teams are going to bowl games, right? I'd love to see 6-0.

[bamafan0001]

East > West

Now it's official.

Thanks, dawgs.

;)
WHAT?? More like Georgia > everyone else in the SEC. Yall bastards don't get a banner for that! ;)

Right on, Bulldog! 6-0 would speak volumes, especially to some of those people on ESPN who love the Big Ten.

[Bulldog Bry]

Oh, God don't get me started on the Big 10. I know we're all SEC homers, but just because their coaches are a bunch of lovable old farts doesn't mean they're a better conference.

Wait a minute. Lloyd Carr = not a lovable old fart

[GatorNation]

WHAT?? ...Yall bastards don't get a banner for that! ;)

Too late.

I should mention that I live in VA Tech country and the Hokies are getting knocked around the field right now. I don't know if the day can get better.

Thanks, dawgs.

Errrrr... what about Auburn??
Perhaps it should be East > West; except for Auburn.
:p

[GeorgiaPride]

Great camaraderie in this forum tonight!!!

We are all for one ( SEC ) and one for all!!!

[grapenuts]

Wooo, what a game. Couldn't be happier for DJ, Sean Bailey and the rest of the Seniors, almost flawless game, couldn't get much better than this. Oh, and FWIW Matthew Elway... I mean Stafford led his team on a last second drive earlier to beat Jevan Snead's team to go to the Texas Championship too... plus even the hoop Dawgs won! Great day! Thanks for the kind words from all the other rival fans, hope we ALL represent well in bowl season! Go Dawgs! 2005 SEC Champs!

DJ Shockley, SEC Player of the Year!

I agree on everything,but Sean Bailey is a Juinor.Bryan Mclendon is a Seinor.We did have a great day all around. :D

[Neo]

Congrats DAWGS!

2005 SEC Champs!

You've earned it.... :cool:

[grapenuts]

I agree on everything,but Sean Bailey is a Juinor.Bryan Mclendon is a Seinor.We did have a great day all around. :D

Yeah I worded it kinda weird like that, I know Sean is only a junior but I was especially happy for him tonight after such a dreadful year he had for the most part with all those drops... and also for the rest of the Seniors besides Shock as well. Hell I'm happy for everybody though! BMac with the punt block, all of em.

I wish we woulda took our starters out, but if LSU is still trying onside kicks we should try to milk the clock for all it's worth IMO. Hope Jamarcus gets well soon, and none of our guys are too banged up for the sUGAr Bowl!

Go Dawgs!

[GatorNation]

Errrrr... what about Auburn??

Thanks for the congrats.

Don't agree with your complaint about the 1st teamers. We had our #6 WR out there. We left DJ in because he is a senior and he deserves it. Its not like we were still throwing deep.

[WDavE]

Haven't you heard Nation?! They already hung banners, made rings, trophies, and threw another hayride parade! ;) :p

All that after beating you for the second year in a row..... :)

Georgia played great and LSU ran out of luck....

as the lightning flashes and the thunder booms outside....i agree with a barner

[WayzUp]

....an added benefit for us is now we get to say that we came within two points of beating the SEC Champs on the road in Spurrier's first season. ;)

Good game UGA, I kept waiting for an LSU-style late 2nd half comeback but that thought was dashed when the cameras zoomed in on Jamarcus Russel laying flat on his back with his arm out. Congratulations Dawgs...we'll be seeing you. :cool:

[VOLjlt]

Glad to see the East well represented. Congrats to the Dawgs! Good luck in the bowl season! Let's see if the SEC can run the bowl table this year!

[rabidcock]

A most hearty congratulations to the GEORGIA BULLDOGS are in order! You guys proved once again, that championship games are more than an interesting spectacle and a cash cow. You Dawgs peaked at just the right time and/or at least showed that barring your Shockley-less loss to FL and your "anybody coulda' won it" game vs. Auburn, you guys could have been undefeated!

You are a deserving bunch and will represent us well in the Sugar Bowl. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch of fighters.

[blues_cap]

congrats uga. domination from whistle to whistle. i expect nothing less in the sugar bowl. please pitch a shutout!!!!!!!!!!

[Hogfan]

You can't spell sugar without UGA... Congrats to the Bulldogs... Win the Sugar bowl

[GeauxTo]

Many in Baton Rouge think that LSU was not well prepared for the Championship Game; another coaching blackmark against Les Miles and his staff. Here's a good quote from Scott Rabalais, a local sportswriter, who feels that the Tigers were just plain overrated:



"It was a string of razor-thin victories -- Arizona State, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas -- that got the Tigers here. Games that the Tigers sometimes seemed to win in spite of themselves.

There was none of that Saturday. Georgia was dominant, but LSU couldn't seem to try to help the Bulldogs beat them fast enough."

There are some definite coaching problems with the new coaches in the SEC this year, but I fear in final analysis LSU's might be the worst. I'm not really sure whether Miles can get the job done. He obviously did not have his team prepared for the biggest game of the year, the SEC Championship Game. And I do not mean, in any way, to negate the outstanding play of the Georgia Bulldogs. They are an outstanding football team and they were ready. LSU definitely was not ready.

As far as being overrated, I'd agree with Rabalais. We were rated #3 going into the LSU game, only because we were undefeated still. Because LSU was the first team to defeat us, you jumped the other 1-loss teams in rankings. Does that make LSU a better team than all of those other 1-loss teams? Not necessarily. But that's what happens when human opinion is involved in things.

I'm not saying LSU is a bad team by any means, as you guys are far from that. Just that like us in the LSU game, last night's SECCG proved that you are not the #3 team in the nation.

We ought to have some very good SEC representation in the post-season this year.

[SilverBritches]

I am still scracting my head wondering why LSU hired Les Miles. The only thing he ever did at Oklahoma St. was beat Oklahoma a couple of times. Wasn't his record at Oklahoma State like 28-28?

With all of the talent that LSU already had, all of the high school talent in the state of Louisiana (not to mention being able to recruit neighboring states like Texas and Mississippi), and the amount of support for LSU football I still think they could have hired an awesome coach.

It was obvious last night that LSU wasn't ready to play. I blame that all on Miles. How could you not have this team ready to play? It is the SEC Championship. LSU was ranked #3 in the country. They were playing for the state of Louisiana and everything that state has been through. I just don't get it.

Also, those hats the Miles wears on the sideline make him look like a goof.

With all that said, I still have a great respect for LSU. Their fans are crazy loud. It was embarassing before the game. When the Golden Band from Tigerland strikes up in pregame they go into a deafening frenzy. I wish Georgia fans were that loud. However, I must say that from where I sat (student section behind the goalpost) it sounded like we had the Dome rocking. May have been because of the students though, I'm not sure.

In my opinion, UGA and LSU are the class of the SEC this half-decade. No offense Auburn, you have had a great 2 year run, but Georgia and LSU have dominated the SEC this millenium. UGA and LSU have taken home 4 of the past 5 SEC Championships. LSU won a National Championship in 2003. I hope it stays this way.

Go Dawgs!

[grapenuts]

It's weird... the one year we win the battle against Florida we lose the war and fail to make the SECCG. The years we make it to Atlanta, we lost some battles along the way but usually win the war. I gotta tell ya, in the longrun the latter feels just a wee bit better than beating UF, after all we don't get any trophies, rings or BCS berths for that!

[GeorgiaPride]

Yea - but damn it sucks to lose to FLORIDA every year!!!

i bet they would like to trade some of thoose victories over us, for a chance to play in the championship game.

The Mark Richt ERA is fabulous.

[GatorNation]

Yea - but damn it sucks to lose to FLORIDA every year!!!

Doesn't it?

:D

Seriously, though, congrats. Now we can finally put this east > west stuff to rest. Now we have the proof.

How does this put the East>West stuff to rest?

The West is obviously stronger this year. Auburn is probably the best team in the SEC and LSU/BAMA are both better than Florida and Tennessee. Georgia is the only real good team from the East this year. Florida has made some strides late into the season, and Bama faltered late but that still doesn't make up for the disparity between the two divisions.

No doubt, that doesn't necessarily add up to stronger division though. :)

Easy: uga was best in the east; less-U was the best in the west.....

It's kinda the definition of a "championship" game.

Well, we should have beaten Auburn then. We had 2 fumbles inside our own 20 that led to 14 Auburn points. Even after that it took a busted coverage by a player with a concussion for them to win.

The bottom line, Georgia will add another SEC Championship flag to their stadium and Auburn won't.

HEY, WEST: :p

[Bulldog Bry]

HEY, WEST: :p

Alright, enough bickering.

Early bowl predictions:
Auburn 37, Wisconsin 9 (or do they HAVE a field goal kicker?)
Florida 21, Iowa(s) 3
Bama 31, T Tech 30 (gonna have to score A LOT to beat them)
LSU 17 Miami 10 (that's with or without Jamarcus)
So Carolina 41, Mizzou 28 (Spurrier finally unleashes, Brad Smith fades into Big 12 North oblivion forever)
Georgia 14, W VA 13 (I fear this one will be the closest of all)

That's 6-0. And no more of this "SEC is d....is D...." I just can't say it.

Vols will be back - book it. Shula's bringing back the magic. Spurrier is already winning with very little - he'll get more. Tuberville obviously isn't going away. Meyer and Miles get it. The Hogs are lurking and waiting to pounce. Croom is turning it around. Can anybody really doubt this conference top to bottom?

West Virginia will get manhandled by the Dogs, It will be alot like the Boise State game. All hype, no substance.

Hope our line gets some good prep to do that kind of scoring. :)

[GeauxTo]

Don't count on it....

;)
Gateaux... you win one big game, and there you go again! DisturbinUrban isn't out of the woods yet. (Yeah, I know... who am I to talk; Les Miles is hopelessly lost in the wilderness as we speak.)
:D

[GeauxTo]

Jordan... I think your D may score some points in this one. Your secondary should grab some interceptions and your bone-jarring tacklers should knock the ball out a few times. I don't think there is any way those boys from TT can stay with Bama physically or speed-wise.

[ColonelKurtz]

Shadup!
:D
Congratulations to a great Georgia team! D. J. Shockley was magnificent, and the Dawgs were clearly the best team. We were beaten soundly.

Only flaw for UGA:
Richt playing his first stringers right up until the end with a 34-14 lead with two minutes to go... unclassy, especially for a guy like Richt whom I've always thought of as one of the classiest of coaches. Could have gotten some good players injured, like Max getting hurt right at the end. You would expect that from Tubby, but not from Richt. Tubby, though, would probably kick the field goal with 30+ seconds to geaux.

Ridiculous assertion, for Richt was honoring the first teamers by letting them play and experiencing the winning of this Championship by being on the field at the end, something which cannot be possible if they are on the sideline. If he wished to RUTS, there was ample opportunity to keep calling the plays which could have led to more scores, but it was obvious that was not his intent. By letting Shock & the others finish what they began, he paid them the highest honor a HC can bestow.

Richt didn't disrespect LSU one iota, as I didn't see Miles empty his bench either.....

I can sure understand that, but it's a choice that can have dire consequences. Remember, Max did get injured in those last two minutes; fortunately, not seriously. But what if??? You see what I mean?

[ColonelKurtz]

Upon review of game participation, Richt tried to get every Senior on the team on the field who was able to play for a few plays. Twelve Seniors start and there are 23 listed on the roster, leaving 11 reserves and scout teamers. Richt got 9/11 in the game and also played 64 guys vs. 49 for Miles and LSU....

The Dawgs have endured injuries all season just like everybody else and they happen without warning and despite the best efforts to prevent them. When UGA's Jennings got the pic 6, the game was over. Though DJ stayed in, all of the backup WR's and OL got snaps as units just as did the Defensive rotations. Richt has always played lots of guys and did so in the SECCG, your argument is impressing me as poorly framed grousing which has no basis whatsoever.

If Richt had inserted JT3 in at QB, you could have said he was running up the score as he would have been told to run the Offense. Letting DJ have every snap was repayment of Shock's devotion to the team, along with all the other starters and that they were not given the plays to increase the score the greatest form of showing respect. As evidenced by LSU's onside kick after the backups let Flynn lead y'all to a score, Miles hadn't thrown in the towel and Richt was thus not obligated to throttle things back when putting the #1 D back in to nuke that next to last drive. Stranger things have happened with 5:38 of gametime left....

Congratulations Georgia on winning the SEC Championship.

Now let's all pull for the SEC in the bowls.

[WDavE]

In my opinion, UGA and LSU are the class of the SEC this half-decade. No offense Auburn, you have had a great 2 year run, but Georgia and LSU have dominated the SEC this millenium. UGA and LSU have taken home 4 of the past 5 SEC Championships. LSU won a National Championship in 2003. I hope it stays this way.

Go Dawgs!

You say this about the decade but the best SEC record among all teams does not belong to LSU nor Georgia nor Florida nor Tenn. since 2000.

From 2000 thru current:
Auburn is 4-2 versus Georgia
Auburn versus 3-3 versus LSU

add to that, Auburn currently has beaten Tenn. three times in a row and Alabama 4 straight times.
'
Other then Florida who does that leave out of the SEC big boys?

Now on to your millenium statement. Auburn owns the all-time series record versus Georgia and looking at All-time wins as a D-1A team.

Georgia is 11th in the nation.
LSU is 13th.
Auburn is 14th.

Congrats on your SEC Championship....

And here we have an excellent demonstration of why you aubies are easier than a drunk sorority gal: THIS DECADE began at 00:00:01 on 1/1/2001!!!!

Yea, y'all eeeked out the W in Athens but don't make more of it that it was YET UGA defeated BOTH the teams which beat Auburn didn't we???????? And we earned the Ring and the Trophy which makes us the Champs. Hardware trumps mouthware everytime!

THIS decade, Auburn is TIED with LSU & UGA in possessing the best SEC record at 30-10. This First Half of the Decade ends with LSU & UGA possessing TWO SEC Titles each and Auburn ONE. I'd be darned happy if I was an Aubie, y'all can hold your heads up just as high as anyone given the accomplishments of your program but lose this inspid nonsensical tact, nobody with a sentilla of sense doesn't hold the utmost respect for AU and for its future prospects.

I'll even go a step further by stating that it would be absolutely no surprise to me at all if Auburn didn't win several more SEC Titles over the 2nd half of this decade, beginning as soon as next season.

Auburn will be my pic going into next season and it might not even be a close race, for both Bama & LSU suffer immense graduation losses in the West. In the East, UGA loses a ton as does UT, so the Gators and Cocks might have the most intact returning teams, but neither at the level of what Auburn does. Folks around the Country were saying the SEC was down this season, well I got news for 'em, it will be really down next year BUT it will have one team which will be damned scary: Auburn.

[nooneLT]

heh tubby is making rings for his team -_-

[WDavE]

If you paid attention just a little bit.

I only responded to what a "Georgia Fan" brought to board as his opinion. I offered no other comments on what Georgia nor the SEC was like this year.
Maybe its you guys that are a little touchy for some unknown reason...

You did indeed beat LSU and Georgia Tech this year and both beat us. I acknowledge all that, along with my offered congrats on your SEC Championship.

Is it allright if I respond to what a Vandy fan posts? LMAO!

here is a link to how your own coached voted...

Ain't none of me with any problem there WDavE.....seems you found it necessary to alter the essence of SB's point to serve your own pathetic need fto elevate AU above LSU & UGA.....and since you went to all that trouble, let me remind you that Auburn got monkey stomped in the 2000 SECCG, no hardware did you gain and thus no props.

Hardware trumps mouthware EVERYTIME!
