This is a fun seven minute recap of one of the best moments of the Richt era. Man, what could’ve been had we not crapped the bed against Tennessee and South Carolina that year.
Sweet, sweet memories. And to think, there were such high hopes for the 2008 season. Shame.
Sweet memories, indeed. The Endzone Dance was one of the craziest tings I’ve seen live. Another thing, Florida answered just enough that they seemed to be in striking distance all game. This was one of what? 3 or 4 losses Timothy Richard Tebow had in his career? What a game! To think about how lucky that program got against us for 12 years or so by hiring a Hall of Famer and a Corch is crazy now when we “don’t say bleep to their undisciplined arses and just point at the scoreboard and laugh.” Sort of like Tenn and Tech and Auburn. Are they even rivals? Thank you, Coach Smart!

I was at that game after skipping them for several years. It was glorious.
This season was when my hatred for Herbie took root. There were no teams without warts that season, including us, but I guarantee we were one of the top two teams at the end of the season and would’ve won the NC.
When you’re ranked #4, and #1 and #2 lose, you move up to #2. Basic football poll math, until fucking Herbstreit got involved. We would’ve destroyed any team they put against us in the Sugar Bowl that year.
Yes, completely agree about Herbie.
Had we won against either USCe or UT, it wouldn’t have mattered what he said. I think that team was the hottest team in all of cfb at the end of the season. I don’t know why, but something clicked on that drive to come from behind and beat Vandy IIRC.
Back to hating on Herbie, everything that joker says what is best for cfb or goes on a rant, it is bad for Georgia. Every. Single. Time. I can’t stand him for it.
You speak the truth, Russ.
My wife went on a cruise with her friends from work. My daughters were 6 and 13 so we went to Jacksonville. After UGA danced in the end zone, I told the girls stick right by me because I honestly believed we were going to have to fight our way out of the stadium. They both ended up going to school and getting their degrees in Athens. That game made them Dawgs for life.
Almost twenty years ago, seems like yesterday some days, and a million years ago on others…
PS – what happened to that counter play that Knowshon crushed them on a couple of times? Get out those crayons and add it back to the playbook!
Also, that was Scott’s first game doing play-by-play as I recall – Larry would only do home games the rest of the season…. Sad that connection has also been severed….
