Surprising Take From A Georgia Fan

I like to look around opposing team’s sites to see what the talk is on upcoming games. Mostly it’s what you would expect. It’s the same type of stuff that you see here at Nation of Blue. Talk about our favorite team as if they could do no wrong and only be beaten by a team who is on their best game. Needless to say I was surprised at the ability this Georgia fan has at talking up the Wildcats on a Bulldog fan [URL=”http://fanpeeps.com/-dgzN”]site[/URL].

[quote]Following a three-game homestand marred by a pair of outings in which last-second miracle shots by the visitors led to gut-wrenching defeats, the Georgia Bulldogs head out this weekend for the first of six road games in their final eleven outings. Up initially are the Kentucky Wildcats, coached by the always classy John Calipari.

I’m not going to lie to you: I don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in Hell of the Fox Hounds winning this game. Kentucky is ranked 14th in the nation, tied for the top spot in the SEC Hoops Power Poll, and projected as a four seed in the tournament. Georgia is coming off of a physically and emotionally draining double-overtime loss on Tuesday night in which all five starters played at least 32 minutes each and two played 47 minutes apiece, whereas the Wildcats are well-rested after having a week to prepare for the Red and Black. The Blue and White welcome the Bulldogs to Lexington, where they want to avenge their earlier loss in Athens, and the ‘Cats are only just beginning to realize their potential.

I’m sorry, but it just can’t be done. There’s no way a Georgia team can, in any season that includes an overtime loss to Florida, go on the road to Lexington on a Saturday and defeat a Kentucky squad that won a thriller over South Carolina exactly one week earlier.[/quote]
