DAWGSbui 2.0 Everything Georgia Bulldogs

Many of you are already aware that I have been working on DAWGSbui 2.0. Yesterday I was testing 2.0 and needed to test the Twitter integration. It worked, in fact it worked very well.

The response was great. It appears that everything is running pretty stable. There is much work to do and I am going to keep "chopping wood". BUI will finish the drill, yada yada.

With that being said, I will not be updated this site with all of 2.0's posts. Managing both is just too time consuming. The content on 2.0 is just too dynamic for hosting on blogspot.

So I ask that you update your links to point to http://blog.dawgsbui.com. Those of you that are subscribed should have automatically had your subscription updated.

If you have any questions or comments please leave a comment or send an email to (mike at dawgsbui dot com).

Thanks for your support. I hope you like the new site.

Bulldogs Beat Tech 38 - 0

The Georgia Bulldogs beat Tennessee Tech Saturday by a score of 38 - 0. To be cliche, the game was not really that close, nor should it have been. A win is a win, but once again there were several "coach-able moments".

Perhaps the biggest positive of the day was seeing the coaching staff yank players out of the ballgame for committing penalties. Hope this trend continues, for that will make the next delay of game penalty interesting.

The penalties that preceded those yankings were the biggest negative. Logan Gray failing to take advantage of his opportunity was another sore spot for me. Bacari Rambo did not start.

The defense dominated an inferior opponent. Regardless of opponent, Montez Robinson and Cornelius Washington both looked great,

On offense we were able to run at will, racking up over 300 yards. Pretty much everything Mike Bobo dialed up was working. There were a few execution problems, notably with the blocking from our fullbacks.

Joe Cox did not throw an interception. Drew Butler made the most of his light workload. Braden Smith is about as fast as a human can be. Wow. It was also good to see another team struggle to cover a tight end, both Orson Charles and Aron White had nice days.

All in all it was a good day to be a Georgia Bulldog, 38 for the good guys, goose egg for the bad.

Enjoy it, Dawg Nation, for Auburn is coming Saturday night. Get your hate on!

And now the Ulcer Bleeds

The Georgia Bulldogs are suffering through the worst season of Mark Richt's career. As bad as the season has been, I am afraid it will pale in comparison to how bad things are going to be in the off-season.

We ran a BUI poll giving you the reader the opportunity to give a thumbs up or down to every member of the coaching staff. The results were not that surprising. I plan on doing the same poll following the season and comparing the results.

I bring this up because my readers, by a large majority, gave Rodney Garner a vote of approval. Not much of a news maker given his reputation as a recruiter and all of the talent he has sent to play on Sunday. There was a solid handful of Garner critics via email or direct tweets. No one dared go public with any criticism of Garner. Until now.

Kensingtondawg delves into the narrative that many in the Bulldog Nation have dared not go.

Richt Should Fire Garner First! « The Grit Tree

However, Martinez should not be the only defensive coach shown the door. In fact, Rodney Garner should be the first coach let go. According to sources close to program, Rodney Garner is a “cancer” on this staff, and one of the reasons Kirby Smart is not on this coaching staff today is due to a falling out with Garner.

I too, have been told of problems within the coaching staff that center upon Coach Garner. In fact, this led me to predict Coach Searels would leave before Coach Martinez. Bringing John Lily in, an excellent recruiter in his own right, should serve to mitigate some of the jeopardy we face in future decisions regarding Coach Garner, but I am less than excited by the prospect.

Despite President Obama's election, we are not living in a post-racial America. In things as nasty as college football recruiting, we can all be assured any slighting of Garner will be used against us.

It is what it is. I love to get your thoughts on the situation.
