Mike Bobo's New Gameplan For 2010

The coach in me can't help but to keep on thinking about how dangerous the Dawgs could be this season in a two tight end set. I even drew a diagram a while back with a little bit of analysis at how useful this set could be this season.

I firmly believe that there is no better 1-2 punch at the tight end position in the country than Orson Charles and Aron White. Lining these two threats up not only allows us two extra blockers, but it will sometimes force teams to put the best receiver (AJ Green) in the nation on an island with a corner.

What are your thoughts? Should the Dawgs line up two tight a little, a lot, or on every daggum play?

We're Going To Party Like It's 1980!

By now, we've all read that UGA finally got it's due with the Princeton Review. With this news, I see that it is only fit that I spend the first year of The Decade of The Dawg partying like it's 1980!

I've mentioned before that 1980 is the year of my birth, but more importantly, it's the last year the Football Dawgs reigned supreme over college football. I'm in search of my retro #34 Dawg jersey, so I can go ahead and start the season off right!

How are we going to do it this year? Just like in 1980; a dominant running game, and a smashmouth defense!

Let's GO DAWGS!

Biggest Worry For The 2010 Dawgs

Everybody has their opinion of the weak points for this year's Bulldogs. From day one when I learned the news that the Dawgs were switching to a 3-4 defense, I have known that the linebacker positions would be key.

Today I learned that Akeem Dent will be out for the next 4-6 weeks with a toe injury. This news really concerns me since we are already fairly slim at that position. The key is going to be staying healthy from here on out, and hopefully some of these young guys can step in and pull their weight as young backers. Obviously there is a big difference between the inside and outside backer spot, but maybe some switching will be necessary.

Will Richard Samuel make his presence known? Can freshmen step it up? Was UGA right in giving a full ride to the Vasser kid out of Hall County? These are all questions that I can't wait to find out the answer to come this fall!

Smell The Fresh Cut Grass In Athens

I have virtually taken all but a few days off from posting UGABlogs for the past 6 weeks. We all know how bad of a time June and early July is for us eager college football fans. I got married, went out of town 4 times, and just spent great times with my family and friends.

The only sad part is that I didn't really chime in on the Damon Evans disaster, MORE UGA player arrests, and a few other rumblings from the Dawg realm (How 'bout that Isner?).

Meanwhile, that grass inside of Sanford Stadium is getting ready for the beginning of the Decade of the Dawg come September! I for one CANNOT WAIT! I know that if you are spending 30 seconds out of your day to read my rants, you are most likely in the same boat as me.

All this being said, I'm ready for some football, and to start posting daily Dawg blogs again!


This is my parents new RV, and my trip to Jacksonville to watch the Dawgs start a new winning streak!

Vegas Thinks The Dawgs Are Pretty Good

I took my first trip to Las Vegas this past week. No man should wait until he is 30 to take this trip like I did. WOW. I am certain I could spend a month on the Vegas Strip and not see everything they have to offer. The funny thing is, I don't even like to gamble....EXCEPT on college football, lol.

The Odds Makers in Vegas have the Dawgs in the Top 15. I trust them a hell of a lot more than ESPN, or any other sports publications for that matter, when it comes to ranking teams.

Take a look at the odds board inside the Excalibur Casino. The odds were about the same in every casino I visited.

Say It Ain't So: A Drunk Red Elephant In Atlanta

That's right, I said Elephant, not Dawg. I am embarrassed by the news I just read, so I am calling Damon Evans by his high school alma mater today, and not as the HEAD of the Dawgnation Athletics Department. What goes through these high profile people's minds when they drive around drunk?

Ring That UGA Chapel Bell

It's been more than a week since I last posted, and ended my run of posting a blog almost every weekday for 5 months. I have been engulfed in work, a surgically repaired arm, and last minute wedding preparations.

Tomorrow I will step foot onto the UGA campus and do what I swore would never happen until I turned 30. That time has come, and I have found the absolute woman of my dreams. If any of you are in Athens this weekend, come crash the Coleman/Wright wedding and give a bark or two for the new bride and groom! Let's keep the chapel bell ringing all night long Saturday!

Following a week in the Dominican, I should be back in full force to continue my irrelevant rants about everything Dawgs!
