Bulldogs, New Tricks...



Did anyone else catch the "World Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" this weekend? Florida had won 8 of the past 9 and 15 of the last 17 against the Bulldogs of Georgia.

How about when Georgia scored the first TD against Florida, and the entire team sprinted into the end zone for a celebration? Coach Richt said that it was something he had intentionally implemented during practice, and he would gladly pay the 15 yard excessive celebration penatly to get his team fired up.

A few questions:

1) Was what UGA did an example of poor sportsmanship, good strategy, or (heavens forbid) both?
2) Should officials have discretion to penalize more than 15 yards for certain infractions?
2) Do you see a quick rule change or fines levied by the SEC in response?

Oh, I almost forgot one crucial detail - Georgia snapped the losing streak and beat Floridia soundly, 42-30.
