Felton not saved by SEC title

After 91 losses during five-plus seasons under coach Dennis Felton, the Georgia men’s basketball program needed a change.

Felton was fired on Jan. 29, with athletic director Damon Evans in search of a coach who could bring excitement and success back to Athens.

D-NIED: Defensive coaches Martinez, Jancek and Fabris will not return

Georgia defensive coordinator Willie Martinez was fired Wednesday in an announcement that seemed imminent following the Bulldogs’ 7-5 season.

Martinez, along with defensive assistants John Jancek and Jon Fabris, will not return next season, but head coach Mark Richt said all three have been asked to coach through the bowl game.

Forget about the future – Georgia living in the now

ATLANTA – Now Georgia’s attention turns to…

Actually, you know what? Forget about what’s next.

A 30-24 upset victory over in-state rival Georgia Tech should consume the moment, this week, the holidays and the year to come.

Far too often people reach for what happens next, or what this win means or go to great lengths in search of context or discuss what could have been.

Ealey, King run through Tech

“I run this state.”

The phrase was inscribed on both Georgia tailbacks Saturday night – on Washaun Ealey’s eye black and Caleb King’s arm.

And in the Bulldogs’ 30-24 win over Georgia Tech, they did just that, combining for 349 yards.

The two backs didn’t just rush the ball.

ATLANTA – Georgia’s mission statement was short and to the point.

“We’re taking the state back,” Bulldogs’ linebacker Christian Robinson said via Facebook early on Saturday.

And with a 30-24 upset over Georgia Tech Saturday night, the Bulldogs have retaken control of the instate rivalry they’ve so thoroughly dominated this decade.

For Bulldog seniors, it wasn’t supposed to end this way

For Georgia’s 23 seniors, losing to Kentucky in their final game in Sanford Stadium was not the plan. Not before the game, and especially not at halftime, after the Bulldogs spent the opening half dominating both sides of the ball. But four Georgia turnovers and 28 Kentucky points changed the way those seniors will remember their last game forever.

Bulldogs shine in the night time

Trying not to read too much into a given statistic is hard for a sports fan.

But Georgia is undefeated this season in night games- 4-0 -presenting the question: What is it about the darkness that brings out the best in the Bulldogs?

“I haven’t thought about it and I’m not going to think about it because I’m not going to jinx it,” cornerback Brandon Boykin said jokingly.

Seniors look back at fond Georgia memories

And some people think they’ve participated in an exciting one-night adventure.

Imagine piling into a car with Georgia players Joe Cox, Michael Moore, and Knowshon Moreno, among others, and heading to Atlanta for a night.

The group left on a whim last year and ended with a memory for life.

Receiver Troupe making most of Green’s absence

The collective gasp heard around Sanford Stadium at the beginning of the second quarter against Auburn was alarming and warranted.

Georgia receiver A.J. Green was hurt, and seriously.

But on the next play, rarely-used receiver Israel Troupe, inserted for Green, hauled in a 50-yard touchdown pass.
