Below is an email sent to me by a UGA friend and fan.
"are you on facebook? it is a great place to blog and network...oh, by the way, GA Tech won the game last year in Athens, [I agree yes they did] we all know that, however it doesn't mean they are even in the same league as UGA [I think GT's football team is about the same as UGA's right now and moving forward as long as they have Coach Paul Johnson]...unless you are satisfied with once every 8 years the Jackets will prevail [So you expect for UGA to win the next 7 in a row again? That doesn't seem very realistic in my opinion.]...In fact, i am excited that I will have a home game in Atlanta this year when the Dawgs invade the Yellowjacket hive [I wouldn't call it a home game but man o man there are way too many UGA fans in Bobby Dodd stadium the last 3 or 4 meetings. Win Joe Hamilton and Ralph F. were at GT I rememer the crowd looked more like a GT home game. Maybe the Paul Johnson era it will be more like that again. Wins cure all ailments. Right?]...It's a much cheaper cab drive...As disapponting as UGA was last year, we will surprise on the upside this year [I could see UGA winning 9 or 10 games this year, which would be a surprise. And I could definitely see UGA upsetting OkSU. UGA has so much talent and Mark Richt is a good coach so I expect UGA to win 8 or 9 games next year even with their tough schedule]..."
Many UGA fans are still having a difficult time recognizing that there is a new Sheriff (Paul Johnson) in town and the rivalry will be at best for UGA 50/50 moving forward. I think the loss to LSU has UGA fans hoping that somehow the GT offense can be "solved". This is one of the problems with being a homer or poor sport. It would be much easier to say, "hey GT has a great head coach, with hard spread option offense to stop, and a very talented group on offense, especially Jonathan Dywer." I think in another year or 2 most UGA fans will be at reality. Of course, some UGA fans will remain homers. For example, I get the impression some UGA fans think they have been losing to Florida because Jacksonville is not a neutral site. That is homer. Why not give FL credit? Hasn't Florida won 2 of the past 4 NCs? Aren't they loaded with talent? Isn't Urban Myer a good coach?
Thank you Greg for the advice on facebook I appreciate it. I hope your business is doing well. In reponse to each of your comments above in trying to put my homer self aside and deal with reality and facts.
