It's no secret that Georgia Bulldog Football dominates sports talk in the Southeastern United States, and the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Georgia's infamous UGA mascot did not get to be the most famous mascot in all of sports by representing a mediocre team! No way. Georgia Football is a lifestyle, often copied but never duplicated. (The team and logo are major corporate entities.)
From before the days of Charley Trippi, through Hershel Walker's 3 years, and until now - something special has always gone-on "Between the Hedges" at Sanford Stadium, and wherever the Dawgs have played. Thus the popular phrase, " 'How 'bout them Dawgs!" (the cleaned-up version). In the old days it was "Dooley's Junkyard Dawgs!" (referring to legendary past UGA coach Vince Dooley).
At various points and times, Georgia was blessed to have not only the best college football team in the nation, but at the same instant the greatest announcer in collegiate footbal history (the late Larry Munson). For many southerners across several states, Munson "WAS" Georgia Football. Even while watching the Dawgs on tv, their radios would be on Larry!
Memories are legion with Bulldog fans. Whether pounding Alabama 21-0, defeating Notre Dame for the National Championship, watching the game but listening to Munson describe Belue to "Lindsay Scott, Lindsay Scott, Lindsay Scott!," or whipping Georgia Tech 29-28 in one college football's greatest games ever - the Dawgs provide for their fans!
As another season looms only months ahead, the Georgia Bulldogs and coach Mark Richt can feel great about another top recruiting season, and the pleasant thought of returning one of the greatest running backs in America. Alabama fears having to visit Sanford Stadium again this year, and with very good reason! GOOOOO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's make more memories!
