I picked up the paper this morning to read a riveting preview of the high school football game I have to cover tonight, when I stumbled across an interesting nugget. Georgia has a football game this weekend!
What, you didn't know either? Don't feel bad. This is only the most unhyped Georgia game since I've been in school here. G-Day has consistently gotten more hype than the game against Kentucky. I mean, I know things have gotten bad, but at least get fired up by remembering the nice party the Wildcat faithful had on the field following their upset of the Dawgs in 2006.
Georgia brings its wounded pride to the Bluegrass State for a chance to take out some frustration on the Wildcats. No amount of spin or "what-ifs" could mask the fact that Georgia has lost its two biggest games to date by approximately 34 touchdowns. All that's left is to win out and get ready for New Years Day in Orlando (on a related note, Disney World is still actually fun despite the fact that I'm somewhat of an adult now).
Kentucky's defense will be solid, much like Vandy's. Their offense...is terrible (much like Vandy's). You would think the Dawgs would come out with wounded pride and hate in their hearts. What's more likely is that they will bumble their way to another lackluster win. Hopefully, I wake up early enough to catch all the festivites on Raycom (before the season, if any Georgia fan thought they would be saying that sentence in November, they would have drank bleach and jumped off a bridge).
Take the Dawgs 28-21
On the other hand, the team I must enjoy playing with on NCAA 2009 is destined for BCS glory. Texas Tech is the second-ranked team in the land, fresh off one of the most entertaining football games in recent memory. They welcome another overachiever in Oklahoma State on Saturday. The schedule has been rough for the Red Raiders and this one shouldn't be any different. Something about these guys makes me think they'll pull it out.
Texas Tech 38-OSU 28
Paul Johnson, or CPJ as the kids are saying these days, leads the schizophrenic Jackets to Chapel Hill for a an important game. And let's face it...every game in Chapel Hill is huge. The football gods smiled upon the Bees last week, as FSU fumbled away a sure win as time ticked away. At least it was a legitimate fumble this time. Josh Nesbitt is banged up. Andrew Gardiner is hurt. Jonathan Dwyer is a beast. This is the extent of my Georgia Tech knowledge. Oh, and they fumble a lot. The extent of my UNC knowledge is that TJ Yates played at my rival high school and he seemed like a tool. Maybe he's a nice guy. I'll never know. Tech does whatever I pick them not to do, so I think they'll win!
Jackets 24-Tar Heels 17
Lil Wayne leads the Saints into Atlanta for a battle with Young Jeezy and the Dirty Birds. Bill Simmons tabbed Matt Ryan as his midpoint MVP, and said Matty Ice has been the best rookie QB since some guy named Marino. There actually figures to be some sort of electricity in the air conditioned air of the Georgia Dome for this one.
Unfortunately, the Falcons' secondary isn't fear inspiring. The Saints' passing offense, on the other hand, is. Brees picks torches the Falcons but the Dirty Birds will keep up. In the end, we'll say the Saints pull out a squeaker.
Saints 35-Falcons 31
I journey tonight to see future Dawg Zach Mettenberger lead Oconee County against one-win Morgan County. Mettenberger has a cannon, but his perhaps the biggest diva I've ever seen. He's already got an ego and he's on a terrible high school team. Imagine what happens when he sports the red and black.
Enjoy the weekend folks. Don't forget, Georgia plays tomorrow!

the georgia game was horrendous to watch, texas tech and florida made their games boring, thus the only exciting game i watched was alabama/lsu. even though i don't want to, i'm calling florida to take the sec championship thus leaving alabama in the dust.
