Georgia, SEC Champions... Don't Get Ahead of Yourself, Bulldog Fans

After routing the Vanderbilt Commodores 43-0 on Saturday, and Tennessee the previous weekend, Georgia fans are in joy over something they have yet to experience in this young decade, a winning streak. Three weeks ago, after losing four straight games, the season seemed lost in the minds of many people in the Peach State, and the job status of Mark Richt became a hot topic in the media. Winning the last two games will eliminate some the calls to fire Mark Richt, but the two-game streak has not assured him of job security beyond this year. Many Georgia fans feel that Mark Richt is too nice of a guy to lead the team anymore, and that he has lost control of the program. Georgia has already had 11 players arrested during 2010. That’s enough to for a starting lineup on either side of the ball. Winning the SEC, let alone the SEC East, would assure Mark Richt of his job going in to 2011. However, either achievement seems far-fetched at the moment. Florida’s three-game losing streak has put Georgia back in contention in the SEC East race, but Bulldog fans are getting ahead of themselves right now with SEC Championship speculation.
