#4 Georgia vs. #22 Arkansas - 2002 SEC Championship

[@WARMACHINE2013]

My Hogs just got curb-stomped in this game. Georgia had a fantastic team that year.

[@JohnnyBallgame88]

The roof almost blew off of the GA Dome when the Dawgs blocked the punt in the 1st Q I was there and the place was rocking! awesome! GATA

[@matthewdaniel5234]

Johnny Ballgame I was there too and will never forget it! Then once we got the ball after the blocked punt and everyone said, “MUUUUUUSA!” Then sure enough Musa got the ball and scored

[@Re_DEEMD]

Dude I really appreciate you putting all of these Dawgs games. I remember watching this one when I was 11 years old with my dad. Good times. Gooooooooooooo Dawgs sic ‘em! Woof woof woof woof!

[@joshuasimmons8160]

As we sit here today as National Champions, don't ever forget about what got us here. This game put Georgia back on the map as a SEC power, and allowed us to be in this position today. So grateful for what Mark Richt did for us.

[@TeamRocketHQR]

Yeah I've had the 2002 Highlights DVD for a while now.

[@zacharygrimsley7380]

Thanks for uploading these! I was just a kid when musa, and greene, and edwards, and all them were there. But I remember them all. Loving watching the games that I miss!

[@georgiadawg278]

Magical game and magical season. Hard to believe it was 10 years ago. Let's make history repeat itself. Go Dawgs!

[@HaydenHancock0]

I was at this game with my dad, what a memory!

[@rebelracing88]

This game brings back some great memories for sure! I wish Georgia would go back to using the silver pants and the shiny red jersey they had back then. The current uniform's color is kinda flat with that new material everybody went to.

[@mouldie17]

These intros for college sports games from late 80’s to the mid 00’s are so good - instead of turning on woke live tv I love going back to when sports were awesome! Nostalgia gets me every time (especially the great announcers and college venues)

[@tmarsh0307]

Perhaps a geeky trivia point, but in 2002 Georgia played in the last SEC Championship Game and Sugar Bowl on AstroTurf. Both the Georgia Dome and Superdome changed to the newer artificial turf after this season.

[@DeAngeloStevens]

Dennis Franchione made a stunning and shocking departure for Texas A&M just 24 hours ago.

[@ThaMVP7330]

this was the closest we've been to a national title in our 32 yr drought and been 30 yrs since we played in the national championship game

[@joshuasimmons8160]

It's finally over

[@shawndove5468]

Well, the drought is over.

[@Scarykid38]

Thats true. Wasnt paying attention to the date you posted that.

[@DeAngeloStevens]

Crimson Tide wasn't in the SEC Championship Game Against Georgia in 2002 because of NCAA sanctions in February 2002

[@darth_vader9]

We beat them in the 2002 regular season.

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

The final SEC Championship game played on AstroTurf

Don;t know if bowl banned Bama would have won... but they'd have put up a better fight than that.

Did we win the bowl game that year?

Does anyone have this game on DVD if so please contact me.

Lol. I came around though, no worries :)

The 2 times UGA won the SECCG it didn't matter bc unlike UT, LSU x3, UF x2, Auburn x2, Alabama x5 who all went on to play for the title or the playoffs, UGA went to a lesser bowl after winning the SEC.

[@bradydicarlo9143]

Unfortunately, both times they won it, they had losses while Miami and Ohio State in 2002 and Texas and USC in 2005 (Although USC's wins that year were taken away from them) didn't.

[@jamiemcvay4053]

Jeff Allen yep. they got screwed that year & I'm a BAMA fan

[@juliansmith6291]

@@bradydicarlo9143 If Georgia hadn't lost to Florida Tennessee beaten Miami in Knoxville then Georgia would've beaten Ohio State in the fiesta bowl

[@TheScabbleGabble]

There was no playoff back in '02. And winning the conference championship always matters no matter what comes after it

[@InAllKindsOfWeather]

I meant from 2002

[@Scarykid38]

soft ball? We were 5 yards away from an SEC and a BCS title!!!

[@austinniblock4952]

whats the song

[@jakethemuss3]

Back when we were tough. Prozac Mark and the Dawgs have been playing soft football for the last 5 years.

Sure did, beat Florida State in the Sugar Bowl

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

Amazing that, as of this typing, this is the only SEC title under Mark Richt. And the UGA boosters actually thought that getting rid of a coach who never won less than eight games in a single season for Richt was a great idea.......

[@dylanhuckeba5921]

Randall Dubin It's not the only SEC title under Richt... But thanks for playing

[@jeffallen255]

+TheLegacyofWrestling 2005 has an *. LSU played the entire season including the SECCG without a week off due to Katrina. And many of the LSU players had family moved around the country.

[@xMtF54x]

+Jeff Allen you win the internet for dumbest comment ive ever read.

[@markgelbart5889]

I rank the 2002 season as the best year for the Dawgs behind only the 1980 edition.

[@Falconsfan1020]

Mark Gelbart 2017 better be up there.

[@jimmyrotten-seed3646]

[@Shawn6751]

@@jimmyrotten-seed3646 I was too young to remember 2002 but 2017 was the year that we supposed to win it all but it came down to one play.

[@jimmyrotten-seed3646]

@@Shawn6751 02 was really good and we probably would have played for the NT if we hadn't lost to a really shitty florida team that year. I couldn't get out of bed the next day i was so hung over and depressed.

Would have loved 2002 Georgia vs Bama.... too bad we shot ourselves in the foot in the offseason. #Nopostseasonforyou

[@InAllKindsOfWeather]

Do you have the Florida game from this year? I know Florida beat Georgia but it was a great game.

[@jakethemuss3]

At the time My comment was true.

[@ramseyhester6415]

If bama hadn't been on probation we would've won the west & played uga and gotten a rematch

[@billking9888]

I hope UGA can have a good run game again. It's been way too long for a mediocre running run game

[@Dirtbag359]

My goodness the Georgia Dome was ugly with astro turf. Granted its still ugly but the field turf has made it a lot more pleasant.

[@Shawn6751]

The Georgia Dome is one big stadium but the Benz makes the Georgia Dome look like an infant. I saw the Benz twice while it was underneath construction. It towers the Georgia Dome.

[@buffering___1367]

I was born at this time and now I see Georgia is still a great team and now Arkansas is now shit. What happened to them

[@woolly65]

Arkkansas is 0-2 in SEC championship games. Lol!!!

[@WARMACHINE2013]

@@johnbarkley7043 Bama being on probation is why they made this one, but Arkansas has two other outright appearances in 95 and 06. So, no, Missouri does not have more appearances. Both teams are 0fer so neither one has anything to brag about.
