    Well, Georgia has played about as bad as they can. Knee down on bad snap on punt, shanked punt, dropped passes, fumbles. Things can only get better.

    Looks like Uga is getting beignet therapy after the Bevo attack. Poor little guy. If that bully cow pulled that **** on a Buckeye canine, he would have been turned into a ribeye dinner.

    20 - 7 at half I think most would have guessed the reverse with Georgia in the lead.
    Longhorns are going to have to play their best defense in the 2nd half, I don't expect Georgia will be as generous. Need to generate more pass rush, Fromme was getting pretty comfy back there.

    More mascot trivia: this was the second live mascot dispute at the Sugar Bowl. The first was between Smokey vs. the Baylor bear in 1957.

    Having trouble adjusting to a game thread on the ESPN Mania thread.

    But no matter Texas really looking good, just where did there defense come from?

    Big mountain for Georgia to overcome at this point.

    Congrats on the win Terry, but that was a nasty finish with the targeting calls?

    [​IMG] T,

    Yes. Yost was jealous that Wisconsin brought caged live badgers onto the field before games to fire up the crowd. So, two wolverines were donated to the school by alums. The original plan was that when Michigan played Navy, the wolverines would be placed on a leash and paraded onto the field with Navy's live goat mascot!

    However, the two wolverines were so scary and vicious that this incredibly bad idea was changed to placing the two wolverines in a cage and carrying them onto the field before the game. They did this for one year -1927- and then stopped for the reasons described by Yost:

    *****************************************
    The live wolverines were a disaster. When Biff was first placed into his cage a week before the game, he snapped a bar in two with his teeth. Said Yost of the wolverine experiment, which ended after that first season: "It was obvious that the Michigan mascots had designs on the Michigan men toting them, and those designs were by no means friendly." After the season, Bennie was sent to the Detroit Zoo while Biff was placed in the now-defunct University of Michigan Zoo."
