Curses On The Dawgs

   What could Georgia have done to tick off the football gods? Not only did the Bulldogs get humbled by Alabama, but they exited the game with injuries to at least four players, including Heisman Trophy hopefuls Knowshon Moreno and Matthew Stafford.
  A few theories:
  --Beloved radio announcer Larry Munson retired last week after 43 years in the booth. It was voluntary on his part, for health reasons, but maybe some higher power was pissed at the last of the legendary SEC radio voices going silent.
  --A group of Georgia alums opened burial plots for ex-Bulldogs players and coaches at a cemetery within marching-band-music distance of the football stadium. Could this be sacred ground, intended for non-jocks?
  --Wearing all black, as Georgia did against Bama, is a fashion faux pas nowadays. Bright is in.
   What's your theory? Can Georgia, blessed with a week off, rebound from this whipping?

Georgia can rebound from the whooping. I'm more worried if Georgia can absorb all of the injuries at this point.

Mike - Where do I know you from? Did you once write for the AJC or ABH?
