A September to Remember??

What is the strongest conference in college football? Most will tell you the SEC. The SEC has won the last three national titles. What most people that are not SEC fans argue is that the SEC teams do not play tough out of conference schedules. We in turn argue that our schedules are tough enough as it is trying to simply survive the conference. Well bulldog fans let them argue that all they want this year, but I can tell you that the University of GEORGIA will not be in the discussion. The bulldogs out of conference schedule is down right nasty! Before September is up, GEORGIA will have opened the season at #11 OKLAHOMA STATE, the next week battles SOUTH CAROLINA at home, ARKANSAS on the road and then ARIZONA STATE back at home. If you want to know what kind of season the bulldogs are going to have, September will tell it all. I hope we come out of the gate swinging this year!!

Stafford to start for Detroit’s second preseason game

Stafford is going to get the starting nod for DETROIT’S next preseason game. What does it mean for him? I would say not much as of right now. I did watch him play in the first preseason game. I was at a bar and I could not hear the TV but I know what I saw from that game. I saw a very good Matthew Stafford. Ok, it was preseason but I personally thought he played well. He was 7 of 14 with a TD and a pic. He should have been 10 of 14 but Keary Colburt had what seemed like three dropped passes in a row and had he not been wearing a helmet one of the ropes Stafford threw would have hit Colburt right in the TEETH! So I was happy to see Stafford play well. I don’t think this means that he will be the starter, but why not? Culpepper is almost done, the LIONS will not be competitive this year, so throw Stafford in and let him learn. That’s what GEORGIA did! Any thoughts, should he sit and learn or play??

Introducing Joe Cox

Just in case you can't remember what Joe Cox has done so far for the bulldogs in his career, here is a reminder. People say he doesn't have a strong arm, check out the rope he slings to AJ Bryant in the video at the 2:00 minute mark!! Sept 5th can't come fast enough!!

A win in "Stoolwater" sets the pace. USCjr. is always scary because we always forget how to play football that week. Arkansas has not been a huge threat to us in the past, however, this year could be tough. They are probably game-planning for us already, seeing that they play a cupcake and a bye before the Dawgs roll into town. ASU has the same type of schedule as ARK does before they roll into Athens.

You are correct that the first 4 games will tell the Dawgs exactly what type of season to expect. A 4-0 start (fingers crossed)would be a huge shot in the arm going into the beef of the schedule.

You are also correct that September 5th is too far away!
