Uh oh! Spurrier might have a freaking team.
If you watched Carolina Thursday night you saw a talented team with an improved QB, excellent running back, and fast receivers. The Evil Genius had them clicking. Garcia looked confident, even though he missed a few passes, and the freshman QB looked even better.
You also saw a few weak spots which might be Georgia's only shot at winning. USC's O line looked porous, and the D weak.
I am pretty certain the O line is bad, but their could be two reasons for the soft D. 1 – They are pretty bad, or 2 – they were not concerned about preparing for a Southern Miss spread option, and have been using their time to prepare to stop a pro-style attack.
Let's hope it is 1.
There are reasons to be optimistic and pessimistic. Let's look at both:
The bad news first:
Our QB is new and untested.
Is AJ gonna get to play?
Arrest total is up to 10 this season.
Ealey's dumb ass might not get to play.
Carolina has confidence and high expectations.
Spurrier can coach a team like this to a big win over UGA. (reference Wuerffel to Doering on the slant.)
Now the good news:
Our O line IS good.
Our D is full of athletes.
Our new D-coordinator is a BAD ASS!
We're gonna blitz A LOT!
Wuerrfel and Doering don't have any eligibility left.
I am anxious to see how we perform Saturday. If our O clicks likes USC's did, we will all sleep better. If they struggle and bog down against Louisiana – Wanna beea...then uugghh and yuck.
The more I think about it, the USC game may be CMR's biggest test as a coach. His team has been under stress on and off the field. While he has a history of going into hostile spots and winning, this one is different. There is no David Green, Stafford or Knowshon to rely on. Black jersey or hat gimmicks won't get us over the line either, and please God don't encourage them to dance after we score.
To get out of Columbia with a W we have to be perfect on special teams, and if I see one unnecessary flag for a bone head play I'm gonna lose it! This one is gonna take coaching. Can he do it? Yes.
Can he do it, take a disciplined unit into Columbia and win? I had myself convinced until I typed the word “disciplined”.

Quick Thursday Thought
Post by William
I have a pet peeve and wanted to see if you have the same one.
Hat on backwards guy. Why? Let's look at NFL QBs who wear their hats backwards. Ben Roethlisberger- Milledgeville. Tony Romo- watch when he comes to the sidelines. Takes hime 5 minutes to get his hat correct. Hasn't won anything. Matt Leinart- probably going to get cut after tonight's preseason game. JaMarcus Russell- Codeine syrup, Sprite, and a grape Jolly Rancher.
Let's look at who doesn't wear their hat backwards. Tom Brady. Peyton Manning. Drew Brees. Brett Favre(I know. Everything else but hat's on straight.) Matt Ryan.
Just wanted to vent about that this AM. Let me know what you think.

Wednesday Random Thoughts
Post by William
To start, previous post was by MIKE!!!
Some random thoughts to help get ready for tomorrow night:
#1 Ole Miss caught a break with the NCAA declaring Jeremiah Masoli ineligible. Houston Nutt isn't afraid to cross the line but I think this kid is an accident waiting to happen. It helps Ole Miss and the SEC look better.
#2 Does anybody in baseball hit the ball harder than Jason Heyward? He's going to hurt a first baseman at some point. That play on Monday night when he scored from first on a single was unreal. With Heyward, McCann, Freddie Freeman and all the young pitching, the Braves are set for the future. (Even with Bobby retiring.)
#3 Chip Towers at ajc.com has a great article from yesterday on UGA's freshman class. He only has 3-4 of these freshmen playing w/the remainder redshirting. He says Gators and Vols both have 17 true or redshirt freshman on their 2 deep depth chart. Very interesting-especially if the 2011 class turns out to be the "Dream Team" they're working on.
#4 Da"rick Rogers- the WR from Calhoun who reneged from UGA to Vols on signing day then got in the rumble with the police in Knoxville- is not on UT's 2 deep depth chart. Sounds like Derek Dooley's trying to show he's in charge.
#5 If Mark Ingram's injury sidelines him for just Week 1, no big deal. What happens if it slows him in practice for Week 2 with Penn State coming to Ttown?
#6 I really like what UGA's new AD Greg McGarity had to say this week. Not necessarily WHAT he said but how he said it. Sounds like he's a no nonsense guy. New sheriff in town.
It's hump day. It's all downhill after today!!
