2007-2008 NCAA Football

I almost felt bad for Hawaii - I mean, they obviously weren't used to playing a real team so they were soooo unprepared for the Dawgs. I honestly thought they'd do a little better and put up more of a fight since they're undefeated and all... but I gotta say - I so called that

Georgia handed them their only loss of the year and it was almost not fun to watch

I actually stopped watching early in the 4th Quarter. I was holding on to hope that Hawaii would start to put up a fight. I even felt that a UGA player showed bad sportsmanship by throwing up the Hang 10 sign after a big play.

At least they got a touchdown in, and the fans and the band went WILD! It was great to watch that moment because you would've thought the Warriors were scoring the winning touchdown. I kinda feel bad for Colt Brennan though. It has to suck that the 2nd String QB was responsible for Hawaii's only touchdown.

Great quotes from ESPN.com:

"We're No. 1," Georgia safety Kelin Johnson proclaimed. "We're supposed to be in the national championship game. The nation knows it, everyone knows it."

"It was the fastest team I've probably ever seen," Brennan said. "We just couldn't get into our groove and do what we wanted to do."

The fact that Tyler was able to step in is a good sign for next year.

And I have to agree, UGA deserved to be in the national championship game. The Bulldogs played a great game, but they really should have been playing next week.

Thanks, GC, for not rubbing it in too much. It still stings.

Go Ohio State!

UGA certainly deserved to be in THE game, I agree. J was saying that he thought it would have been great to see UGA and USC play - more evenly matched game. And Brennan was right - UGA was just too fast for them. The teams just weren't evenly matched so it wasn't exactly a fun game to watch, even for a UGA fan.

Thank God my BF doesn't read GC because if he did, he might very well dump me for saying such nonsense. But hey, throw me on the anti-arrogance bandwagon.

I'd rather see Ohio State come up on top for this one.

I bet. UGA was one pissed off football team, and that was totally obvious yesterday.

I barely tuned in for the Rose Bowl, but I saw enough. I really wish I could've seen two great teams go head to head. Honestly, I really wanted to see UGA up against any one to wrap up the season, but USC would've been better. Just to see them....

I'm happy Hawaii made it to the big time even though Georgia gave them a beatdown.
