Georgia Football: Count Down to Bama Week Begins With Warhawk Watching
Georgia football fans will scurry from Sanford Stadium Saturday after the Dawgs defeat Southern University to watch mighty Alabama take on Louisiana-Monroe.

Because the Georgia football team opened its season against the Louisiana – Monroe Warhawks, the SEC Network televised contest between the Warhawks and the Tide at 4:00 PM provides a great opportunity for Dawg fans to make meaningless comparisons between Georgia and Alabama.

No serious college football fan passes on a chance to make meaningless comparisons.
The countdown to Alabama Week begins when the last member of the Southern University Band, The Human Jukebox, steps off the Sanford Stadium turf during halftime, just before the Redcoats take the field.
Keep you seats? Heck no, get to a television.
Louisiana-Monroe is an unreliable barometer of the Dawgs’ season, playing games against not only Georgia common foe Alabama, but Georgia Southern. But serious college football fans know, even a broken barometer can be right in a hurricane.
And with an open date Saturday, the ULM season also sets up perfectly for the Warhawks to upset Alabama, of which there is no chance.

Unfortunately for college football enthisiasts across the nation, the rage radiating from the planet Alabama after the Tide’s embarrassing performance against Ole Miss will doubtless mitigate the unlikely benefit of the Warhawk’s open date.
Not to mention that the Alabama – Auburn race to a two-game losing streak is enough to melt the Paul Finebaum phone bank, even with Carli from Skyline still in the neuro ward of the Surgery Center in Huntsville after a bout with head explosion following last weekend’s Tide whooping by the Rebels.
(Free brain scans were offered to Alabama fans after last weekend’s trauma. Thankfully, nothing was found.)
Did we mention Ole Miss beat Alabama last weekend? Did anyone mention it occurred in Tuscaloosa?
(Programming Alert: SEC Elimination in the The Yellowhammer State will air at 7:00 PM on Saturday October 3.)
All seriousness aside, ULM is a good team with a good coach, but it doesn’t take an Einstein to know the only Ulm University that is going to beat the Tide is on the banks of the Danube River and it will have to be in futball, not football. But everything is relative, and just as they did with Georgia, head Coach Todd Berry’s Warhawks can reveal an effective game plan for competing with Alabama. That’s all Georgia fans really are hoping for – unless it’s a one-touchdown game at the half. Then hopes will escalate to another Alabama embarrassment.
