Game 1 biased observations, courtesy of the jumbo hot dawg | University of Georgia Football Fans's Blog

I told y'all it was going to be a hot one. I had a sweatband, a hat, and my free Georgia spirit towel, and I managed to soak them all. But my dry weave Nike replica Knowshon jersey was actually dry. Pretty amazing stuff from the swoosh people. I think it never got below 88 degrees, and it was muggy. This likely contributed to Knownshon's cramping up, and an early look at Richard Samuels and Caleb King. They all did a great job carrying the mail. Stafford did some good work, too. I was pretty surprised when I got home and checked out the stats.

UGA VII did a good job in his debut game. I mean, I didn't cry or anything, but it is a cool tradition, having him coronated with the spiked collar by Dr. Adams. Here's hoping he gets a National Championship during his run as the UGA mascot. He is a big old son of a gun, too.

I was also impressed by the women. This year, the sundresses are stylish and low cut. I saw at least 5 or 6 9's, at least a score of 8's, and hundreds of 7's. They were all nicely sun tanned and workin' it. Yeah, c'mon. It is hard for me to believe any other school could surpass the hotness of the UGA honeys. My dad said Auburn would give them a run for the money, and yeah, he is right, but the difference has got to be hundredths of a percentage point. Even several of the alumni MILFS really had it goin' on.

It was hard for me to come away with any solid impression of how good or bad we are this year. But somehow, getting this first game over was cathartic. I am finding my nerves are steady, and I am much calmer now than I was leading up to the game. The loss of Owens was tough, sure. But somehow, I think we can overcome this. I think we can overcome Trent Sturdivant being out, too. You just have to take your licks from game to game. That is my approach this year. One game at a time, just like the players and coaches do. So, let's just be concerned with scouting and preparing for Central Michigan. It would be temptibng to start going on about the resurgance of Alabama, how tough LSU is this year, how badly we want to beat the Vawls-but , I am going to stow it.
