The Daily Dawg Caller The first time "the Irish came down to play Georgia"

"They were looking for a Sugar Bowl..." Who else remembers this classic?

Login to view embedded media
In the early '80s, I was given a cassette tape as a kid filled with Larry Munson calls and about 10 UGA-related songs, including "The Irish Came Down to Play Georgia." Over several years, I played the hell out of that tape—so much so, the tape ribbon literally wore down to where it eventually wouldn't play at normal speed. I wish I still had that cassette in some form.

"Give Herschel Walker the Ball" was a catchy tune, as well.

Vol game thread posts. The build up to kickoff...

Massive thread so I'll try to post them by quarter the next few days.

"It's happening" Vol: This is a different Vol beast. I'm old and it's the best defense I've ever seen us field. We are a bad match for a pretty weak Georgia offense. I feel better about this game than I have in a long time.

Thief Vol: A 20 yr old piece of the Sanford Stadium Hedges from 2004. Hoping it brings us some magic tomorrow night. GBO

"Just in case, let's prepare the excuses" Vol: I hope refs do a fair job. In Tuscaloosa last year our dline got put in chokeholds and no flags for holding.


Violence Vol: I am starting to doubt whether Carson Beck will make it to halftime. We are going to KILL that dude…..

Affronted Vol: The amount of disrespect is maddening. UGA has looked a shell of itself. They are out multiple key players including their stud RB, a 10 point home favorite, and there are some advocating for a 3 loss Georgia team making the playoffs.txaffronteaffron

"Saban and McAffee suck" Vol:
Oh look, Gameday is unanimous - UGA will curbstomp Tennessee. A lot of "UGA will respond to the Ole Miss loss" and "UGA has the heart of a champion," particularly from Saban.

Also I'm really REALLY freaking tired of McAfee's little "I'm going to do one team's thing and then SWERVE you and pick the other team" picks. Idiot. It's not a swerve if you DO IT EVERY TIME.

Organ harvesting Vol: I would sell a kidney to have us beat the hell out of Georgia. True hate

"You must respect our 0 for 7" Vol:

Unless I missed something Tennessee defeated Alabama in an entertaining competitive game while Georgia found a way to choke despite a fruitful successful comeback to get the lead, and the Rebels made the Bulldogs a pawn in Mississippi.
If a group of fans is going to say a rival team is overrated or other trash talk use some damn common sense, take off the rose colored glasses by being objective, and state facts which are not up for debate while opinions are subjective.

Expecting Georgia to win and Kirby to give postgame ESPN interview Vol: But Kirby will still make an a** of himself on national television saying nobody believes they can win. Your opponent is the underdog and not one person picked you to lose.

Rapture predicting Vol: The Vols will win tonight. I am certain of it.

Three swings and three whiffs Vol:

Or defense has 4 sacks. 1 forced fumble and 2 INTs today.

Their oline is gonna get smoked by us.

"Kirby reminds me of another coach we rarely ever beat" Vol: I’m sure this has been mentioned, so I apologize. This game reminds so much of Tennessee and Florida in 2001. The Vols were given less than no chance, and we all know what happened. Time to shut up another smart aleck coach.

Welp, there goes the new copper still Vol:
Just put 4k on Tennessee and the points.

9 points is a lot.

UGA isn’t scoring 20 and Tennessee can at least put up 14-17


"Me and the wife just got back from our cave in the Smokies" Vol:
They just said on sec network that Nico has been in concussion protocol all week. I suspected that but how can they confirm that??

Not a prophet Vol: Beck WON'T finish the Game...

Prophet Vol: More likely to happen is Beck has a career best game.

A hobnail boot up yours Vol:

Up until a few years ago, the broadcast always included Larry Munson's "Hobnail Boot" call. Like Eli Gold, I just don't get the love with Munson. John Ward, class act, would never have made a call like that.

Anyway, it got trite hearing that every year. Hope they have retired that permanently

"ESPN must validate us" Vol:
Kirk said UGA has been playing well but we are trying to get back into the elite.

They lost their last game and we are ranked higher but OKAY 👍🏻

Not into history Vol: Alright ABC, we get it, Tennessee has stunk for the last eight years. The worst decade in school history. Super. Got it. Thanks for the memo.

1998 Vol: Let’s take our place back at the top of this conference tonight
