Are your Georgia Bulldogs still in search of offensive consistency?
Are they about to go on the road to open SEC play against a team that scored 72 points last week?
You could probably use a drink. I can help with that.
There are certainly plenty of reasons to worry about these Tennessee Volunteers. But then, there have been reasons to worry about them for most of the past eight seasons. And all of those have ended with the Georgia Bulldogs having carded a win over the Creamsicle Collective.
At some point Georgia is going to lose to Tennessee again. And I’m not saying it won’t be this season. But I will say that Georgia remains the hunter and not the hunter in this series. Until further notice, Tennessee is the team with something to prove in this series.
As we’ve said a couple of times over the past year or so, Georgia is currently on historically improbable winning streaks against several opponents, including the Vols, such that a stumble feels just around the corner. If it happens this weekend in Knoxville, hey, we’ll still have indoor plumbing and five SEC titles since Rocky Top last claimed one.
And what’s the drink for reminding Tennessee fans that their team hasn’t really been nationally relevant since the year Sex and the City premiered?
A Cosmo-Vawl-itan. It’s a riff on the sickly sweet cranberry concoction enjoyed by Carrie, Miranda and the gang. And probably Phil Fulmer.
Like most of our Tennessee-themed cocktails during this series’ twenty year run (at no point during which has Tennessee ever won more than two games in a row in this series) it starts with pure moonshine. You can now buy clear corn whiskey from a variety of reputable and perfectly legal purveyors. Once you pick some up you will add 1 and 1/2 ounces of your white lightning to a cocktail shaker with three ounces of cranberry juice, and a half an ounce of lime juice. Shake with ice and strain into one of them fancy glasses Mee-Maw bought with her settlement money after she was attacked by that raccoon at the Winn-Dixie, and enjoy. It’ll knock your other two teeth out.
Go ‘Dawgs!!!
