DAWGS SHUT OUT THE COCKS

Oooh how it must sting the evil visored one to produce exactly zero points with his "Cock and Fire" offense. The grimacing, whining, yelling, and complaining were intensely enjoyable to watch as Georgia dealt Spurrier his first shut-out since 1987. While watching his sideline antics, it occurred to me that Spurrier is the John McEnroe of college football. You know he is talented and you have to respect his ability to beat you, but he bitches and moans more than any other coach I have ever watched. He is either complaining to the refs, his players, or his assistant coaches. It would be great if he was mic'd for the game. I can just hear a McEnroe voice-over, "You have got to be kidding me. Mitchell was clearly down before the ball came out. You are terrible. Incompetent. How did you get to be a referee at this level?" Throwing of the clipboard is parallel to throwing a tennis racket. What fun.

Now, a brief assessment of the game:

The Good: Stafford hit some receivers in stride allowing them to run for extra yardage after the catch. Martrez Milner had no drops. The entire defense. generally and Kelin Johnson specifically for some bone-jarring hits in the great tradition of his predecessors Blue and Davis.

The Bad: Stafford's interceptions (also known as learning opportunities.)

The Ugly: Spurrier's offense. Woohoo!
