Fair points.

Georgia had great defense for 25 years. Having Erk Russell as DC for 17 years was a big help there. Then Vince Dooley retired, and Georgia has relied on its offense ever since, with varying degrees of success.

UGA should have hired Erk as head coach in 88, not Goff. Dooley was ready to, the UGA President nixed it.

UGA was 5 yards from a national championship.

Turn in your Bulldawg card and exit the nation.

Oh yeah, because coming up 5 yards short from playing in the NC is definitely winning it all. Forgive me, lol.

I'll address the rest tonight after I'm liquored up. Way more fun! Keep up the comments folks!

Should have won last year, but blew it.... In my opinion, that was the national championship game.

Agree. ND was a disgrace to College Football and UGA would have pummeled them. 5 SEC teams probably would have beaten them by 10+. One of the most overrated teams in history.

Hey Manti, Jarvis Jones called, he wants all of your awards and your ticket to NYC.

ND wouldn't be SECcessful in the SEC and probably become irrelevant in football. Why? I'm not a SEC fan, but will admit that it's the toughest conference in football and ND is SECond rate at best...

That was a very mysterious process. As far as I'm aware, neither Dooley nor Russell nor Dr. Charles Knapp (UGa's then-president who had been an executive VP at Tulane before taking the position at Georgia) have ever given the full story. But I remember being disappointed that Russell didn't get the job, and being concerned that Goff wasn't experienced enough for the job. Goff was 33 and had never been a HC, or an offensive or defensive coordinator. He was a great recruiter, but the hard truth is that my initial concerns were justified.

If UGA could beat Steve Spurrier more consistently. He's still taking it out on them for beating him while he was in college.

Is that the deal with Spurrier? I haven't tried too much to figure out what motivates him, but beating Georgia has clearly been more important to him than beating anyone else, including FSU while he was at Florida, or Clemson since he started at SouCar.

Spurrier would lose every game just to have the chance to pummel UGA. We're in his head, and have been for a very long time. Rivalry with USC application has still been denied though. UGA owns South Carolina. Spurrier just has a hard on for The University of Georgia. His mouth makes that obvious. I bet they prepare for UGA all off-season which is why they get pummeled by teams they play after UGA. Will be an interesting game this year, especially if UGA win in Clemson. Just glad they won't be able to play that horrid music and blast that trance garbage on the jumbotron.

Look down to 1966, Spurrier's Heisman trophy year. Florida was unbeaten, leading the SEC and lost 27-10.
