Georgia won 20 games for the third year in a row this past season. At first blush, that may not seem like much of an accomplishment. But then consider this: That has happened only once before in the 111-year history of the program.
Success and relevance have been tough to come by for the Bulldogs in their history, but consistency has been the true Holy Grail. Hugh Durham got as close as anyone, once leading Georgia to eight consecutive postseason bids (having Dominique Wilkins didn’t hurt, though he never tasted the sweetness of an NCAA bid), and Tubby Smith fared well in his brief two-year flyover.
