....It's gonna
be okay!!!! I was going to do the whole orange shirt, khaki shorts thing today but I’m ditching the pants for the GREEN ATHLETIC SHORTS!!! My new lucky shorts!!!
Why lucky you ask?
Because A. they are green and B. I found a ten dollar bill in them this morning in the laundry!!!
HECK FIRE YES! I will rock these green shorts no matter how awkward its going to be watching the game with other much more nicely attired orange people. I don’t care if they think I look like I just rolled out of bed. Its because of these green shorts, that we are goin to rock a DUBBYA in Athens!
It’s all connected, my friends…..
Someday we'll look back on this and plow into a parked car.

I shaved the night before our 3 losses. I did not shave the night before our two wins. I did not shave last night.
Between your shorts and my 5 o’clock shadow, I’m pretty sure we can already consider this game won.

Do what UCLA did to us.
Hang in the game during the first half – don’t let it get out of hand early.
Hold TOP in the second half and have the game decided at the end.

Catchable ball only applies to Pass Interfence
That’s why they called it holding. Holding is holding no matter where the ball is.

It's actually refreshingly fun
As I’m trying to stay objective. Really lets you appreciate the way Georgia is mostly working us over. Huge INT just there, though. The Pass Interference call might not be the play of the game, after all. It was still a horrible call.

The logic behind a short route on a 3rd down:
The defense is most likely in a zone where the DBs are stacked around the 1st-down marker. If you throw past the 1st-down line, it’s easier for them to intercept. If you throw just a little bit short, the odds of an interception drop to nearly zero. Then you’re just hoping that the receiver has enough space to make up the rest of the difference.
That’s the logic, whether you agree or disagree.

First thought was that we shouldn’t have called it, but dismissed that as hindsight. Figured it was a good call at the time. Would have been great to get the ball back and get another score. Momentum would have been great.
That, of course, ignores our inability to stop an opponent on third down, though.

Halftime Thoughts:
Tennessee gave up 211 yards passing. Their coverage has left men wide open several times. When Georgia has to work for their hards vs UT, tennessee has done good. Asides from the 53 yard bomb by Stephens, Tennessee has 56 yards of offense. That’s horrible, and Georgia has 19 minutes of ball control. Tennessee has played bad, I want to say that first off. But on that final drive I think the Refs really helped out Georgia. A great hit was negated by a bad call. A really good hit, the kind of hit that makes your team play better.
Key Plays:
On 3rd down, 37 yard screen pass from Stafford to the FB Shaun Chapas. It was a great call and a horrible job by Tennessee. A 1 yard plunge next play by Sutherland put Georgia up 7-0.
3rd down and 7, a horrible Pass Interference call by the refs negated great coverage by the Vols and let Georgia continue their drive.
That being said .. Georgia would go from their 23 to Tennessee’s 13. Then:
Interception Robert Ayers. Georgia was driving, looking to go up by 3 scores. A bad decision by Stafford to throw and a great call by Chavis mixing the blitz with the step-back. Georgia had ran a little flip pass almost every time Tennessee had brought outside pressure and stafford didn’t think to look before he threw. Good hands by Ayers gave the Vols the ball back.
53-yard pass from Stephens to Moore. This pass was so unexpected and so huge. Moore beat his man and Stephens put the ball right on the money deep. Great coverage too. Tennessee got the ball in 3 plays later with a 2 yard pass from Stephens to Mr. Jones.
3rd down & 7 from the Georgia 5: 14 yard pass Stafford to Moreno. If Georgia hadn’t gotten this they would have been punting from their endzone. It stole UT’s momentum after the botched kick by Georgia. Stafford did a good job making the play work after it broke down.
After another first down, another bad call by the refs negated good coverage. A big hit was called shoulder-to-shoulder contact when it obviously wasn’t. The play had a chance to be a big one for Tennesee, who has lacked big hits on defense. Instead Georgia would take over and get several big plays, including a warrented personal foul later in the drive.
3 & 3 from the Tennessee 9: Massequol caught a wide-open pass from Stafford. Tennessee’s coverage was awful as the safety looked away from Stafford who was staring at Massequol the entire way. That’s a silly mistake that cost Tennessee 7 (or 4, with a field goal) points.
