Another Year, But At Least the Disappointment was on a Thursday Night

Posted on by

Look on the bright side, scamps. At least we didn’t go out and finish the season on a Wednesday night. Georgia got off to a really slow start, scoring only 20 points in the first half, but made a respectable and furious comeback in the second half.

However, it seems the ghost of Penn Wagers was having the last laugh.

Somto got a flagrant 2 and got ejected. Obvious goal tends (they literally bounced off the backboard before being swatted) were ignored. In the day and age where the game is stopped by multiple reviews and goes three hours in length, nary a moment was spent reflecting on what was and what could’ve been.

Regardless, I refuse to be an Ohio State or Alabama fan here, as we should’ve played like Georgia in the first half and less like a high school team, so there’s that. Last year, we had a slow start in the NCAA Tourney, so maybe we got it out of our system.

It is what it is. Let it be Ole Miss that we never want to see in the postseason from this point forward. Call it progress, though, because we played on a Thursday instead of starting on a Wednesday at the bottom rungs of the conference ladder. I’ll take it.

Still, March Madness awaits. We’ll be a likely 8 or 9 seed, either way, the first round will be a fight.

Let’s hope we’re a touch more awake when the Big Dance starts instead of searching around for our glass slipper. All glory is fleeting, the loss is yesterday’s news, and we still have one more game to play.

Go Dawgs.

  1. I really don’t like being Ole Miss’ beotch in anything, but that aside, I hate to say it, but when the game doesn’t matter considerably, it’s hard to care that much. It would have been nice to win and make a better showing in the SEC, but the focus all along has been on getting to the big dance. And being there will be one accomplishment; however, advancing a round or two is really the goal so that we know we have improved and can sell it to recruits and hopefully end this ridiculous notion that we can’t be good to great in football and basketball consistently.

    • This crap of old piss getting “w’s” vs UGA athletics at will is getting a bit tiresome, we don’t need a rivalry conversation, we need to put those ass wipers in their place…GO DAWGS!!

  2. So White gets Richt calls? So the good news is our basketball Kirby is next? Only 13 more years to go I suppose.

  3. Chris Beard is superior to Mike White. We could’ve had CB two years ago and sent PeeWee to his Alma mater Ole Piss but Joshua had other ideas. We got knocked out by 4-14 stinkin ole piss. Our three big guns shot a collective 31% — and kept shooting. 5 is Iverson, Jr. Shoots 30 times/game, has 20 points and you think wow we have a stud. No, we have a wild ass guard/wing that that’s a liability.

    A 8-10 seed (deserved). One and done in tourney.

    How many days to football?

  4. The first half was really hard to watch. Shooting was the worst I’ve seen in a really long time. My girlfriend was hoping that swapping ends of the floor would reverse the score in the 2nd half. But alas, the refs got us again.

  5. Don’t miss half your FTs and there’s nothing to complain about. Actually show up to play in the first half. That makes 2 embarrassing losses to a shitty Ole Maid team this year.

  6. I’ve typed this many times – the University of Georgia should end the men’s basketball program.

    Since 1933-
    1 SEC regular season championship
    2 SEC tournament championships
    1 Final four

    Mike White has this team well above historical performance. Mike White has had 4 years to build a championship program, his successor at Florida did it in 3 years.

  7. Meh. Basketball season is dead to me now. Time to strap on some headgear and pads.

  8. It felt like this game was a chance to show you’re better than what we expect against an inferior team. Instead, we faceplant our way to another one & done SEC appearance. Looks like they are still exactly what we thought & I’d be shocked if they’re playing next weekend. I expect another faceplant, probably due to another miserable first half. At least White has got me keeping up with the team, something I haven’t done for many years.

  9. What is it about slow starts in Football and BB? Time to bring a shrink in to evaluate.
