"A long ride back from Jacksonville
500 miles from a game we should've won
Man we ought a burn down that stadium
Thought this year was gonna be ours
Talking too much junk in those Florida bars
Now I'm stunned
man I wish it was 1981,

now I know why they say
every dog has his days
can't win every game we play
but every dog has his days

Longing for those glory days
like the one he cried run Lindsay Run
I was too young to be there but I'm sure it was fun
I bet that crowd was flyin high
And I bet Glory to ol' Georgia was cried as the band played
Man I wish I could feel that way today

now I know why they say
every dog has his days
can't win every game we play
but every dog has his days

and I played back my favorite victories
like that last minute win up in Tennessee
I bet them hob nails hurt like hell
And I got sweet memories of 2002 won the SEC
And the sugar bowl too
Man we had a ball down on Bourbon Street
Ooh, those were the days

Just got my tickets in the mail
Septembers coming fast and I can hardly wait
They say these guys they might take us all the way
And if they do I'll be flying high
and there'll probably be a happy tear in my eye but rain or shine
I'll be yellin' go Dawgs from the 20 yard line, and

I know why they say
every dog has his days
can't win every game we play
but every dog has his days

and we'll be singing
Glory, Glory to ol' Georgia
Glory, Glory to ol' Georgia
Glory, Glory to ol' Georgia
Oh Georgia Hail to the"

The smell is coming. I feel it happening. After a heartrending end to the season for my Maryland Terrapins after a Emerald Bowl loss to Oregon St., I am looking forward to the season. I am looking at the depth chart again and again. I am selecting which games I want to go to. I am previewing and previewing and looking at the schedule to see which games we will win and lose. This may be my favorite time of the year. I have sweet memories of winning the ACC and the Peach Bowl too. Even the Champs Sports Bowl, blowing out Purdue. And getting revenge of Virginia this season after blowing it last season. And I remember back to our 28 point fourth quarter comeback in 2006. This magical time is my personal favorite, bigger than Bowl Season, and Rivalry Week. I am getting mky Darrius Heyward-Bey jersey out for yet another battle, maybe his last (he is a junior that already is ready for the NFL). And seeing Ralph Freidgon's fat showing through his sweaty Under Armour polo shirt, yelling to his players. This is one magical time.
