So the game is that interesting huh?

Karlifornia · 01-01-2008, 08:46 PM

The only reason I can think of for Georgia to pass is to rest the running backs.

Recruit some 5-star defensive linemen and linebackers.

That's precisely why I didn't know what was going on at first. I just don't pay attention to that.

Stafford looks like an INT waiting to happen.

Ding DING DING, someone gets a gold star for actually using common sense.

I totally agree with your comment.

Let's take another stab..

Rutgers - http://www.scarletknights.com/cheer/

Looks like 4 males, 1 female - otherwise all white.

I just don't think there is a story here like you want to create. I like you DC, I really do - but sometimes you try to create issues where there are not any - don't be Noop, please.

Edit - corrected, totally missed several males - guess you can see where my eyes are drawn.

I swear I wasn't trying to create a story. In retrospect, I should've said nothing, knowing how it would've gotten twisted.

But I'll explain the context and I'll be done.

Wyoming has 100 black students, Georgia has about 2000 in a state where 30% of the population is black. I studied social policy as an undergraduate, so I notice all sorts of shit that ordinary folks wouldn't and don't care about. It's not a big deal and I don't even like cheerleading as a vocation and so, needless to say, I wouldn't advocate anyone do it, black girl, white girl or alien girl.

It was just something I noticed off hand and it didn't surprise me, but I was curious. And I doubt I'm the only person on the planet who would see that and take it as some indictment on the institution as a whole.

It's not a big deal, there are far more important issues on the planet to worry about and none of them have anything to do with this thread..because it's about football. I posted my thing as an aside, not as a snark and figured if someone "got it" they'd say something and then I'd make another aside about it and call it a day.

UW does has a black cheerleader,

. And I dunno if he was in that picture, but he's in this one and performed all season.

But anyway...back to the game, seriously.

Jas_lov · 01-01-2008, 08:49 PM

DAMNIT! NOBODY CARES WHETHER THE CHEERLEADERS ARE BLACK, WHITE, OR BROWN AS LONG AS THEY'RE HOT!!! It's a non issue. Back to the game...Hawaii might finally stop Georgia after a holding call sets them back to 2nd and 20.

Or, hope that Richt gets cute and starts running finesse plays out of the shotgun.

Issue weapons.

Failing that, you've got to take away the run at all costs. Making Stafford throw is the best chance you've got I think, they're only 2-2 this year when he has 30 attempts or more, 8-0 when he throws less than that. (And those two wins were narrow victories over Alabama & Vanderbilt).

You missed more then several males there are like 5 women that appear to not be white. Since people want to make this a white vs. non white thing.

+1

If you had given me a quiz after looking at that pic for an hour, I wouldn't have had any idea how many were black/white/Asian.

Karlifornia · 01-01-2008, 08:51 PM

If the agents for these Georgia OL's are worth anything, they'll make a combine tape consisting mostly of plays from this game.

astrosfan64 · 01-01-2008, 08:51 PM

Wow a stand

Tell Brennan to throw more TD's?

52 yard field goal hit! 17-3 Bulldogs.

Winner. There is nothing Hawaii will be able to do to stop this Georgia offense consistently. Wow, heck of a kick there!

Me too. I have to admit I was lost as well.

DeToxRox · 01-01-2008, 08:52 PM

That kick woulda been good from 60

Radii · 01-01-2008, 08:53 PM

that FG would have been good from what, 60? 65?

But the fact that you don't notice this or pay attention to it makes you racist!

Just kidding, I guess being from Southern California I just don't understand all the race stuff, since I wasn't brought up in South... Or something like that.

2 posts != holding forth

Jas_lov · 01-01-2008, 08:56 PM

INT! THIS COULD GET UGLY!

DeToxRox · 01-01-2008, 08:57 PM

Brennan looks rattled. I think this game is as good as done.

That's probably more true than I'd like it to be. I grew up in a rural town in North Carolina, and I was able to grow up and be friends with everyone(the fact that I went to a elementry/middle school that was ~80% black helped), but it was impossible not to notice relatives and others who made a very big deal about people's color.

Vegas Vic · 01-01-2008, 08:57 PM

Welcome to an SEC defense, Colt.

Yeah, I did twist that a bit

...

*shurg*... I just think it's REALLY unfair to paint some broad stroke at UGA as having "institutional problems" because there are no black cheerleaders.

I have been to a lot of college football games (at the I-AA level) and there are very few black cheerleaders except at predominantly black schools. That's just the way it is for whatever reason.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-01-2008, 08:58 PM

Get ugly? It's already been ugly - Hawaii is completely outclassed.

Radii · 01-01-2008, 08:58 PM

ugh, just when hawaii makes a decent defensive stand too.

st.cronin · 01-01-2008, 08:59 PM

Hawaii is no Boise State.

DeToxRox · 01-01-2008, 08:59 PM

Colt's draft stock is taking such a hit right now.

Not sure I agree. I think his draft stock will be entirely determined by his combine performance.

This is his only true test against a competitive defense with NFL talent. It'll go a long ways.

Go get boxed.

wade moore · 01-01-2008, 09:03 PM

I'm not sure that this hurts his draft stock that much more than throwing 5 Ints against Idaho or 4 against San Jose state.

Except, he doesn't have equal talent to work with. Its a "David Carr in Houston" evaluating dilemma.

DeToxRox · 01-01-2008, 09:04 PM

If the BCS were based on best matchups (With the current teams) seeing Hawaii vs Illinois would've been so much more fun. Not to mention UGA vs USC

JonInMiddleGA · 01-01-2008, 09:04 PM

Incidentally, the WR that just rumbled through the Hawaii secondary (before fumbling OOB) only caught 8 passes this year & is roughly the 6th or 7th WR on the Georgia depth chart.

Vegas Vic · 01-01-2008, 09:04 PM

A lot of time left, but so far this is like watching the New England Patriots against an Arena League team.

Radii · 01-01-2008, 09:05 PM

yeah, time to turn this one off I think. I'd love to see Hawaii come back, but eh, watching UGA blow teams out is just not fun for this ga tech guy.

And that won't help his cause I am afraid. The only thing helping him is how weak this QB class is.
