At 4:00 p.m. Eastern, Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs will tip off against the Mississippi Rebels on the SEC Network. While not a rivalry game, this contest is critical to the Hoop Hounds' postseason prospects, so it is worth your while to tune in, and, as long as you're tuning in, you might as well join in the conversation in the comments below, so have at it, Bulldog Nation!
Go 'Dawgs!

Tip off -
I don’t know why, but I got the game on in HD on a local Kansas channel.
And – surprisingly, the entire center court seating is empty.

Man, I wish I could've been in Athens today.
Men’s tennis match against Clemson at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, then home men’s basketball game.
T Kyle King - January 21, 2012
I'd assume the tennis match was rained out, or moved indoors.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Did the rain make it to Athens?
It was a deluge around these parts, but I hadn’t been near a TV or a computer all day until about 15 minutes ago, so I’m behind on the news.
T Kyle King - January 21, 2012
it poured all morning
leedawg - January 21, 2012
Thanks.
Somehow, they got the match in, though; I just looked it up, and Georgia won, 5-0. I’ll leave it to NCT to share the details later.
T Kyle King - January 21, 2012
We've got nice indoor courts...
had to be moved across the complex to inside.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
So is behind our bench
rough start. My big fear about KCP is Sundiata Gaines part 2. An amazing talent, and one of the best we’ve ever had, without the complimentary players around them to let them show the country how good they are.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
ought to implement some sort of policy where if you're tickets aren't scanned for half the games
you lose your seats
leedawg - January 21, 2012
I been saying that since Coach Fox got to Athens.
If you can’t make a Sat afternoon SEC game, when exactly are you going to attend? I don’t care if they donated 100k, they don’t deserve those seats. And showing up late isnt cool either.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Some of us have been saying it long before then
but agreed tank.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
I have been deployed most winters until last year and this - so I havent seen a lot of basketball until CMF.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Understood
was simply saying is all. This issue dates back as long as I can remember. The only times I can’t recall it being an issue are Tubby’s second (and final) season, and Harrick’s final season, maybe his last 2 seasons.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Roger that. I know I say it every single game, but I can't help it. It drives me nuts.
Why are you buying seats and not going? I mean, just dont buy the seats. You can still donate. Grrr. Give the tickets to someone. Use craiglist or something – do something. There are a LOT of people that would die to have those seats for just a game. Give them to big brother/big sister. Something.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
I wish we'd set up a program where they could go to ...
kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs locally who’ve done well in school, etc and earned them.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
winning cures all
leedawg - January 21, 2012
Indeed
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
agreed
and it’s not like they couldn’t still buy season tix if they choose to, they’d just be not in the lower center court area
leedawg - January 21, 2012
UGA sporting the ugly grey uniform. I keep looking at the wrong team.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
I thought the Rebels wore grey?
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
You see my confusion.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
If only they wore blue instead of red
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Yeah, it took me a second, as well.
I like the silver uniforms. It was a cool move by Mark Fox to break them out for the home game right after national signing day last year.
T Kyle King - January 21, 2012
They need to be shinier - more silver. Less grey.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
agreed
leedawg - January 21, 2012
An aside...
I’m glad someone told Djurisic to start wearing undershirts. He has some nasty bacne.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
That's the level of basketball analysis . . .
. . . you don’t get just anywhere! :)
T Kyle King - January 21, 2012
Seriously, it was sick
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
That must have been an awkward conversation.
I remember when I was deployed in Dec 2002, right before we re invaded Iraq, and I worked with this Greek guy as part of our “coalition”. It was all I could do to not ask him to take a shower more often.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Showering is a learned skill
just ask Derek Dooley.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Blair Walsh just made a FG in the Shrine Bowl.
[weep button engaged]
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
19 days too late
leedawg - January 21, 2012
and they're playing in the greater tampa area
leedawg - January 21, 2012
Where is that game on?
That was a horrible sentence, but I left it so you could see it, and see that I saw it.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
NFL network
leedawg - January 21, 2012
That would be a network not getting my money.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Worth it imo
good stuff there, especially for those who are combine obsessed come draft time.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
RedZone Channel worth whatever I pay for the sports package
leedawg - January 21, 2012
I'm watching through alternative methods.
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
Nicely stated. Our RBs like to smoke with alternative plants.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
I dont understand our offense.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
In a questionable move
It appears that the football coaches, Richt, Grantham, Garner, and Bobo, are here with some recruits. Unless I was a 2 sport athlete, a UGA basketball game wouldn’t do much to sell me on attending the University of Georgia.
jon_snow - January 21, 2012 via iPhone app
That's some good color right there.
And at some point, I am going to post “Top 10 reasons you should like UGA round ball” and that is going to be number 1. Basketball helps football. UF’s championships in two sports at similar times aren’t coincidence.
And it’s sad we are showing recruits an empty arena in SEC play.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
That's standard procedure...
you see it every January.
They have been there, and on that low end behind the opponents’ bench side basket, for a while.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
I really don't understand our offense.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Dennis Felton likes it....
leedawg - January 21, 2012
#firemikebobo
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
No way
we have inbounds plays.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
You should be used to not understanding a Georgia offense by now.
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
We havent scored in like 6 minutes game time. Someone take Bobo out of the Steg
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Robinson is shooting 3s. My head is going to explode.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Fox has seemed perpetually pissed at this team...
it’ll be interesting to see if that anger results in changes this summer.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Yea, I noticed that too. The silent anger. A game a few weeks ago, he didnt take off his coat, he just stood there with his arms crossed.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Changes?
You can make changes when something isn’t working?
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
Bobo
get off the game thread and get back to kissing recruits’ behinds
leedawg - January 21, 2012
Wouldn't that be a violation?
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
my general philosophy is
if you have to ask, then the NCAA would say yes
leedawg - January 21, 2012
So if butt-dialing is a violation,
then the odds are good that butt-kissing would be as well.
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
Kirby's gonna be in trouble
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
There is a bulldog breeder ad on the website today. Finally - something that makes sense.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
And Robinson shoots a 3 that doesnt even make the basket. GRRR
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
If I played UGA - I would tell everyone to dribble drive straight down the key every time.
This points in the paint differential is just maddening.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
we're not good
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Sometimes I wonder why we field a basketball team
ClassicCityDawg - January 21, 2012
23 points in a half. I have nothing good to say. That was pathetic.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
that was awful....
on the bright side, baseball starts in 4 weeks
leedawg - January 21, 2012
Trying to relax on a cold afternoon in Omaha watching the Dogs...
…think I will go outside for the second half and just watch the snow clouds gathering….might be more interesting…did we get any offensive rebounds in the first half?
Vietnam Dog - January 21, 2012
Did we get any offense in the first half?
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
We broke 32F today, for a moment. Cold is here for sure.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
I think Mark Fox has a good understand of UGA culture
We’re a football school, and we always will be. I just want a reason to care about the basketball team. I understand that the team lost a lot in Thompkins and Leslie, but this team isn’t even going out and competing right now, and I think that’s all we really want out of our basketball team.
ClassicCityDawg - January 21, 2012
Need a complete cultural change. Across the board.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
starts at the top
McGarity can only change so much with the same people in place below him that were here for the last few years of Vince and Damon’s run. Need to overhaul the majority of the AD
leedawg - January 21, 2012
If you follow me, you know how much I have harped on the "UGA letterman club" that has had too much power and influence in the AD.
I am all for some house cleaning and I am still not happy about some of the chair shuffling versus going and getting guys. In all areas. Landers is past his prime, Clark doesnt have it, Fox needs some help. The one change McGarity could make without booster friction he made right away with Coach Stemke. So you are spot on in my opinion.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
What's this East-West Shrine game?
I heard it’s only for seniors. Is Brandon Boykin playing in it?
ChopMaster - January 21, 2012
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=east+west+shrine
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Just Figgins and Walsh.
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
And neither Butler nor Boykin. Were these players given optional invitations?
ChopMaster - January 21, 2012
I think both are participating in the Senior Bowl.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
A lot of guys probably were.
I think these post-season bowls are often like the Pro Bowl in that the best guys often don’t play in them because they don’t feel the need.
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
Boykin, Butler, Cordy Glenn, and Ben Jones are all playing in the Senior Bowl
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
I suppose I should've added,
“…or are already playing in a more prestigious post-season bowl.”
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
right on. Boykin is too busy going "Imma spend a million here, and another million here...."
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
I doubt he gets drafted high enough
for even $1m, guaranteed.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
We're fighting back...
say what you will about this team, there is no quit in them.
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
rejected
samxrm - January 21, 2012
UGA inbounds that badly.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Thornton isn't mentally in this one
ClassicCityDawg - January 21, 2012
Well, at least the 7 year old kid cares about the game.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
building the fan base, 1 at a time
leedawg - January 21, 2012
Because I look forward to her second season:
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
there's the possession I love so much
swing it around the perimeter for 30+ secs, jack up a 3 at the buzzer
leedawg - January 21, 2012
the Felton special
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
It's either that, or just straight jack up a 3 with 30 seconds on the clock.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
of the 2, I'd rather do this one, at least it might be a somewhat open look
leedawg - January 21, 2012
swimming and diving dawgs beat UT today.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
whuppin' the Vols...always a nice addition to the day
Vietnam Dog - January 21, 2012
this is awful
leedawg - January 21, 2012
My gosh, we may break 50 pts yet.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Jurassic is earning his nickname today.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Not a good day for my men in Red
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Bolton's hot!
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
not cool
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Nor the Toffees from across the park.
Only the mocking laugh of an almighty god who hates everything in Merseyside kept the Blues from getting 3 points against Blackburn today. Had to settle for 1, but the score should have been 5-1, at least.
vineyarddawg - January 21, 2012
really, really not happy with the way this season has gone
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Well, that's some consolation, at least.
/Toffee’d
vineyarddawg - January 21, 2012
UGA made it to 50, woot! now 53.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
why call a play for Brantley and KCP coming off the timeout... just don't get it
leedawg - January 21, 2012
*Brantley instead of KCP
leedawg - January 21, 2012
The Vols are up on UConn with a minute and a half to go.
hbtd - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Jurassic is knocking people out now.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Love the last minute aggressive offense. Maybe try that for the other 39.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
You can play a whole ballgame?
Cherokee's Grip - January 21, 2012
O.K.
just got home. Maybe not watching 39:30 of the game is the key…
DavetheDawg - January 21, 2012
Nice to see us making clutch free throws.
hbtd - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Just taking us to an even more painful end.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
yep, just teasing me and getting my hopes up
leedawg - January 21, 2012
I actually quit watchin for most of this run
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
then I ask you to turn it back off please
leedawg - January 21, 2012
I should have folllowed instructions
Mr. Sanchez - January 21, 2012
Proud of the 100s of fans that stayed for the whole game and are cheering loudly now.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
Good enthusiasm.
hbtd - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Robinson drives the court and scores with a foul. But for the other 39 minutes he thought he was a shooter. I told you my head might explode.
tankertoad - January 21, 2012
ugh... brutal miss
leedawg - January 21, 2012
Tenn. lead down to 2.
hbtd - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Need to win at home.
hbtd - January 21, 2012 via mobile
damn... had a chance at the end
