After 2004, 2006, 2009 and what almost happened last year, I think he's serious. UGA has a history of wetting the bed when favored in this game.
Just going off memory, he got Fulmer early. They won in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2008. He beat Dooley all 3 years. So, he is 8-4 against us.
They do seem to play better on the road. However, other than a year or two under Fulmer, we seem to play them tight. Even James Banks at QB played them tough when Clausen was hurt.
And they have the additional handicap of enduring a loss. They can't afford to let up. BCS computers will force them to lose points even if they win and don't cover. If Oregon/Ohio State/etc win out UGA could be sitting on the outside even if they win the SEC if they don't beat the spread in every game they do win.
This game was a bad choice for Jones to bring in a bunch of recruits, honestly.
Will be over by half time. Bad way to break out the new uni's.
Do the kids on the team read Volnation? I believe they do, and for 4 years the seniors have read this same crap, week after week. And then we gripe because they quit. If I was them, I'd quit too, (I wouldn't even play the game if I were them, knowing that they're all going to be taken off the field on stretchers). But they go out there every Saturday and bust their tails for "fans" such as yourself. You guys are unbelievable.

CMR will not say it publicly but this game means a lot him.
I hope beyond all hope that if we can't win at least Ga doesn't cover. SMDH. I have bled orange since I was old enough to understand what it meant, and why every man I looked up to in my family was within eyesight or earshot of my Vols on Saturday afternoons. Regardless of what we were up against.
I would put betting my house against a bitter conference rival right up there with betting some kid from across town was going to knock my son out in his golden gloves match. Classless and traitorish IMO. We must just have different concepts of VFL, or loyalty for that matter. Wow.
