Around the SEC – MSU in the hunt for a Cotton Bowl berth - UGA does not fear LSU

1. Ron Higgins of the Memphis Commercial Appeal blogs the following on The Memphis Edge:

2. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Georgia would be delighted to play LSU in the Georgia Dome for the SECCG.

I hope we do play the bullfrogs. We need to settle up with them. However, after watching UGA play against fla, I sure as hell hope the Tigers will bring their "A" game. If we keep playing the half az passing game and all the penalties, it will be another game that makes me feel the need to schedule an appointment with a cardiologist.

Anyway, bring it on poopydawgs!

 

The problem...for GA...is they crapped their diapers against Tenn & 'Bama, so they need help to get to the dome. It will always come down to "who wants it more". I don't care who the Tigers face in the SEC championship game.

 

I would like to play UGA and pay them back for the 2005 game. I always like beating UT (in Memphis, UT and Ole Miss have large fan bases and they are just about all you hear).

It really does not matter to me who we meet in the SECCG. I’m just happy to be there and play for the SEC Championship.

How can anyone here not pull for MSU this year? If they win their next two games, they will finish 2nd in the West.... :wave:

 

are you referring to some past season?


im not sure which team lsu would fare better against. UT has a softer D, but i think theyre pass-happy O would be more likely to score bunches. LSU's O would have to be sharper against uga's D, but uga's O relies more on running the ball. moreno is probably the 2nd best back in the league but he cant create his own holes.

guess id have to say LSU would do better against UT because they have a softer D and less balanced O.

 

This seems like it might be a complete repeat of last year.

SEC team who won games in the fourth quarter over and over again meets another SEC team in the SECCG who lost an early embarrassing OOC game vs the PAC-10.

There is a second team who is playing like the best team in the division, but cannot represent because of early losses.

2007 Georgia = 2006 LSU

 

The thing that strikes me as odd, and I'm just thinking out loud here, is if MSU wins out and finishes 8-4, I wonder if the Cotton Bowl officials will be thinking about ticket sales more so than who finishes #2 in the West.

I'm probably wrong, but I wonder how much of their fan base would travel to Dallas? Have they been consistently selling out their 60K stadium this year?

 

I don't know. I would have to think that MSU fans would be so ecstatic to be back in a bowl, that they might travel quite well.

And Dallas is more exciting than Starkville. Of course, any place is more exciting than Starkville.
