Glory, Glory

 

Things have changed.

Back in the old days (before November 2021), you could almost set your watch to how a team (baseball, basketball, football, hockey, tiddlywinks) based in Georgia would lose a championship game.

Let's review.

The Braves went worst to first and then lost to The Minnesota Twins in the World Series because the second baseman deked out Lonnie Smith.

Then, they couldn't even beat a team from Canada in the next year.

The Hawks would make the playoffs and would have to play the Boston Celtics that Larry Bird led. Every dang time.

The Falcons finally go to the Super Bowl. One of their star players was out catting around and got arrested for solicitation of a prostitute. On the night before The Super Bowl. Dude, what were you thinking?

As long as I'm talking about the Falcons, they led the satanic New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in 2017 by 25 points, going into the fourth quarter. They lost.

The University of Georgia Bulldogs? Now, they have invented new ways to mess up.  Clay Travis coined a term for it. He called it "To Georgia." He said you could always on Georgia to Georgia an important game (SEC championship, etc).

 You could always count on Georgia to Georgia in a game against Alabama.

One year, the first time Nick Satan Saban led The Crimson Tide into Athens to face the Dawgs, Georgia decided to wear their Black jerseys instead of their Red ones. It was going to be a "blackout"  and would mess with Alabama's head. It didn't. Alabama won big.

The Dawgs saw the light and fired Coach Mark Richt.   He was a good coach, a nice guy, and he won a lot of games but could not beat Alabama.  So they went out and hired Kirby Smart, an alumnus who was also an assistant coach to Nick Satan Saban.

It was Georgia versus Alabama one year for the FBS Championship.  The Alabama quarterback was floundering, Satan Saban changed quarterbacks after halftime. He put in a freshman with the first name of Tua.  Alabama won on the last play of the game.

Another year, Georgia played Alabama for the SEC Championship. Tua started and went down with an injury. He was replaced by the quarterback he replaced the year before, Jalen Hurts.  Hurts took over the control of the game and Alabama won again.

We know what happened in December.  Georgia comes in undefeated with the best defense in college football and Alabama scores two hundred points against them.  (They didn't really, but it seemed like it.)

The Lord works in mysterious ways.  Lo and behold, Georgia was playing Alabama again for the Championship, like it was predestined.

Everybody was uneasy. The Alabama quarterback won The Heisman Trophy as a freshman. He was cool in the pocket and could flat throw the ball.  Will Anderson, an Alabama linebacker, is described as "a generational player" by people who know such things.

Georgia's quarterback was Stetson Bennett IV, which sounds like he went to high school with Biff and Buffy at Snooty High.

I'm not going to recap the game. I'm not going to criticize the referees just because it seemed that Alabama got the breaks and Georgia didn't. 

I'm just going to thank the Lord that Bryce Young either overthrew and underthrew a pass and Kelee Ringo intercepted it and ran it back 70 yards to seal the win for Georgia and win the Championship.

I've always said that if there is anything worse than Alabama winning, it is Alabama losing.  There was some whining,but for the most part the Alabama fans were gracious. You can't win them all. I guess you can feel that way because as long as Satan Saban is around, they have a good chance of winning it all again.

It is weird. The Braves won the World Series and The Dawgs won the NCAA championship within two months. 

Now comes they hard part. Both of them have to do it again next season.
