The Georgia Bulldogs have two weeks to lick their wounds following Saturday's loss to South Carolina, a game that was billed as a barn burner and turned out to be a tar-and-feathering. The Dawgs have a bye week this Saturday to reflect on what could have been and look ahead to visiting a hapless Kentucky on Oct. 20. The now No. 14 Bulldogs seem to be taking their humiliation in stride. "We've still got life. It's a long season. We've got more games to play," Malcolm Mitchell, a sophomore receiver, is quoted saying by the Macon Telegraph's Seth Emerson. "If we dwell on this game, we'll lose the next one, then lose the next one. We've gotta stay focused and keep pushing." Emerson reports that head coach Mark Richt is holding steady amid the …

The Rotary Club of Vinings hosted Lindsay Scott, who caught the pass that led the Bulldogs to their famous 1980 win over the Florida Gators.
Editor's note: The Georgia Bulldogs play at rival Tennessee Saturday night. But if you ask many Dawg fans, it’s the other orange-clad SEC East rival – the Florida Gators – whom they most like their team to defeat this and every season. That’s what happens when you drop 18 of the last 21 meetings as Georgia has against the Gators heading into their Oct. 29 showdown in Jacksonville, Fla. And no doubt as that game draws closer, there will be recollections of the famous 1980 Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott touchdown pass that helped Georgia beat the Gators and propel the Bulldogs onto their only national title. And as famous as that play is, and it is considered by many to be one of the most electric plays in the history of college football, the …

There’s loads of college football to be viewed this first Saturday of October.
