Advocare V100 Independence Bowl
Independence Stadium, Shreveport, La.
Texas A&M vs. Georgia
Date: Dec. 28
Time: 5 p.m.
TV: ESPN (do I even have to type it anymore?)
Line: Georgia -6.5
About Texas A&M (6-6): In his second year at A&M Mike Sherman has brought the Aggies all the way to Shreveport, La. Many people seem to think the Aggies are on the way back, mostly because they played Texas close on national TV. Those people missed the 65-10 loss to Oklahoma and the 62-14 loss to Kansas State. Yikes. They better be on the way back or Sherman will be rooming with Dennis Franchione.
Intangibles:
12th man: +2
Home games one giant 'spin the bottle' makeout session: -2
The Wrecking Crew: +3
About Georgia (7-5): The 'Dawgs barely felt the losses of last year's first round draft picks Matthew Stafford and Knowshown Moreno...oh wait. Yes, they did. They did a lot. It was like they forgot how to play football. Criminy, has Mark Richt already turned into Bobby Bowden? yeesh. I guess they beat Georgia Tech, at least.
Intangibles:
New UGA (bulldog): +2
Buck Belue, possible best name ever: +4
Richt in bowl games: -4
Impact player: Georgia QB Joe Cox has not had an easy time replacing Stafford. When Cox plays well, UGA can at least score a lot of points. That hasn't been often.
Bowl slogan: "A&M? Even Richt can't screw this one up, right?"
Little Known Fact: In order to seem important, the Advocare V100 Independence Bowl has the ugliest, most confusing web site in the history of the Intarwebbers.
Watchability (1-5): 2
The Pick: Georgia 41, Texas A&M 31
