Florida Owns the East

Well, much to the painful chagrin of every living Georgia fan, the Florida Gators beat the daylights out of UGA. The final score was 49-10, but the more disturbing number is 16 of 19. The two decade dominance Florida has over the Dawgs is baffling. Many times, UGA has traveled to Jacksonville with an incredibly talented squad and many times Georgia has lost. Georgia lost Saturday, on a day the Dawgs desperately needed a win. Not since the 1988-89 seasons has UGA defeated Florida in back to back years. The Bulldogs needed a breakthrough performance, but instead had their season and title hopes broken. The #1 preseason team in college football can do nothing but pray for a BCS bowl. Don't cross your fingers folks, it ain't gonna happen.
Before this season started, Mark Richt's Georgia Bulldogs weren't just favored to win the SEC East. They were picked by many to hoist that elusive crystal football, currently owned by LSU. Unfortunately, those dreams just became bleaker than a doinked Blair Walsh field goal. The excruciatingly painful part, is that this Georgia fan (like many) actually believed it could happen. Honestly speaking, UGA ain't USC (the real one). Maybe I (we) should have known better.
Historically speaking, Georgia fans should expect an average of 8-10 wins a year, including painful losses to Florida 9 out of every 10 times in Jacksonville. That is simply what happens and all UGA fans are powerless in our desire to change the outcome. It ain't ever gonna change. If history had a new author, he would have surfaced on Saturday. Instead, he failed to appear. It's just another painful November.
