Dooley’s Dogs and Kirby’s Canines. In most of our lifetimes, the Golden eras of Georgia Football, 1980-1983 and and 2017-hopefully a long, long, long, long time.
Saturday night’s trip to Mississippi State brings back some memories from those cherished days four decades ago.
Georgia’s Southeastern Conference champions of 1982 will always hold an extra special place in my heart. What a year that was. The Bulldogs posted a perfect 11-0 regular season and captured the Southeastern Conference championship for a third consecutive season. In December, just a few short days after beating the Yellow Jackets 38-18 to make it 11-0, Herschel Walker, clad in a red jacket with Uga IV on hand, was awarded the Heisman Trophy.
