As Georgia fans, who should we hope loses the Florida/LSU game. I know that sounds like a trick question because of course normally I think we all want Florida to go 0-12. In '02, '03, and '05 we were good enough and Florida was bad enough that we still won the SEC East despite losing to the Gators.
But there's no way that's possible this year. There's no outcome in this game that changes the fact that we still have to beat Florida. Florida could beat LSU by 50 or lose to LSU by 50 and it just wouldn't matter; the Cocktail Party would still decide everything.
Some concerns if LSU wins:
1. Tebow gives some bullshit speech like he did last year after the Ole Miss game. The last thing I want is for another plaque to go up inside their stadium. Tebow copied Varsity Blues in his BCS halftime speech and I don't even want to find out what he would copy this time.
2. How many games are the Gators gonna lose? Is there anyway they lose two games? If they only have one loss in them, then it has to come against us. The worst case scenario would be if last year's script repeats itself where Tebow rallies the troops after a loss and they go on a tear.
3. How amazing and epic would it be to knock off Tebow, Curch Meyers, and the #1 Gators ourselves? It would still be sweet to beat the #8 ranked Gators or whatever, but see 1 and 2, above. Would that be less likely to happen?
4. I know I shouldn't let this get in the way for my hatred of Florida, but I seriously hate LSU right now. I want them humbled. I want a team to "not turn their back" on LSU the entire game so that they do get blasted by 100 points. I want smug, goofy-ass Les Miles fired before Richt, and I say that not as a slam to Richt but in hopes that he really can turn things around.
The only advantage I see if LSU does beat Florida is that it would allow us to slip up against Auburn and still go to the Dome. But again it doesn't change the fact that we still have to beat Florida...and I want whatever outcome in the LSU/Florida game is gonna help make sure that happens.
What do you guys think? How does the concussion play into all this? Is Urban more likely to play a not-fully-recovered Tebow since LSU did beat us and now the spotlight is a little brighter? Does the outcome on this game have any bearing on what happens on Halloween? Who do you hope loses??? This is almost like a Florida/Ohio State or Florida/Oklahoma game for me, I will get no pleasure at all out of the outcome.

as of now Tebow isn't cleared to play so we'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteThere are only so many ra ra speeches that inspire b/f people quit listening; I think Tebow has reached that point. He is a natural leader so he'll always be able to motivate but the media will blow up anything he says no matter what.
UGA isn't in florida's league right now however on any given saturday there's no doubt there is enough talent on UGA's team to win.
I agree with Dr. Daryl. Tebow can only go to that well so many times. Eventually his teammates are going to say, "Dude, chill out. We want to win too."
ReplyDeleteWhile UGA may not be in Florida's league right now, UGA is no doubt capable of beating the Gators. The offense has to get back on track, and the defense will have to continue to play great. Fortunately for the Dawgs, they have that bye week before the Cocktail Party, which means they will be as prepared for that game as they can be.
