The Georgia Bulldogs basketball team finished last in SEC East. The coach was packing his bags, expecting to get fired.
Then they unexpectedly won 3 games in 2 days! (One game was delayed due to tornado.)
Georgia is suddenly going to the March Madness NCAA Basketball Tournament. Coach Dennis Felton will probably get a raise.
Don’t think this astounding rebound will be lost on the Georgia Women’s Gymnastics Team. They have a history of rebounding from adversity themselves — 1999 and 2007 — and will have to do it again this season:
ATHENS, Ga. — The top-ranked Georgia gymnastics team may have lost back-to-back NCAA All-Around Champion Courtney Kupets to injury for the year, but they proved they are still right in the hunt for a fourth straight NCAA title Saturday night, defeating the No. 10 Bruins, 197.900-196.925.
The Gym Dogs (9-2) responded from a loss against Michigan last weekend tying a season-high score, while UCLA’s (14-4) mark of 196.925 was a season-best for the Bruins as well.
“I think our team sent a message tonight that no matter what has happened we are still here to contend for a national title,” Georgia head coach Suzanne Yoculan said. “Our gymnasts don’t know anything but winning championships and they proved that they’re ready to defend their last three titles.
With a monster crowd at home, the desire to four-pete, …
I think #1 ranked Georgia are still the favourites to win NCAA Championships 2008.
Certainly there will be 11 other teams convinced Georgia can be beaten come Championships April 24-26th in Athens, GA.
It’s going to be a dog fight.
I can hardly wait.
