I am thankful for my family, my home, my cat that makes me laugh, the fact that I have a job, and that my health is relatively good.
I'm very lucky.

I am thankful for the Dawgs with a win over those pesky jackets! What's that, 9 out of the last 10 years? Haha!! I don't want to hear another Jacket fan brag about their team until they beat us 2 years straight. And for next year, I can't wait. With an easy schedule and great young talent GA might be able to do something. SEC!!!!

Well, I'm sure you're thankful for that early gift Tech gave you Mutt Fans too huh Walter? Hope you enjoy The Papajohns.com Bowl game in Birmingham! LOL

I guess this proves that the big leagues (SEC) can beat the bush leagues (ACC). Maybe UGA should schedule more ACC teams. Then they could have a better record than Tech.

Yeah right. Chick-fil-a bowl bound to take on probably Clemson who will we will chew up.

Dawgs own the 'Maggots', as if there was ever any doubt. Bigger fish to fry says PJ... O.K., go play in the ACC (Atlantic CONSOLATION Conference) Game. South Carolina 34 - Clem's Son 17. If the insects played in the SEC, they would have lost a minimum of 4 games in the regular season, maybe more... Just another game, says PJ. Yep the ACCCG will be just another game, after both teams got waxed by their home state rivals. Life is good!!!

Jackets stink! They just can't beat dem dawgs. Just like dem dawgs just can't beat dem gators. Like they got some kind of hex on em or sumting. I'd like to see tha dawgs beat the gators just once! Much less twice.

IF UGA goes to the ChicFilA Bowl it certainly won't be because they deserve it. I mean the only worthwhile thing they did was beat Tech. And to hear the mutts talk, that ain't saying much. If the EatMoChikin Bowl takes UGA it will be because of fan base and the ability to sell seats alone. But that's what it's all about these days anyway right? The almighty dollar. Remember when there were only a handful of bowls and you really had to earn your way into being invited to one? No conference/bowl alignments. The bowls had committess that actually scouted teams and games and picked the most worthy teams to go. As for Tech, if this were back in the day, the Orange Bowl scouts would have been at Saturday's game and saw the Jackets get rolled by Georgia and probably said "no thanks". I'm glad Tech still has a shot at the Orange but there are just way too many bowls and 6, 7, even 8 win teams don't deserve to be in them.

Yeah you are right about the number of bowls. It's kinda ridiculous, but I still watch most of them so I'm not complaining. BTW, we will prove that we deserve the Chicken Bowl when we beat the brakes off of Clemson or VT.

I am thankful for the people who remind me to be thankful for more than just football.
