WATCH Georgia MLB Monty Rice: Bulldogs fighting to thrive, not just survive
Georgia football middle linebacker Monty Rice rejects 'survivor' label, says Bulldogs are fighting to thrive en route to SEC Championship Game

Defense always gives you a chance. I won't be surprised if the Dawgs pitch another shutout against Tech and hold LSU to their season low on offense.
Great attitude. Winning perspective. I like it very much indeed.
Go, Dawgs!
Mike Griffith....always trying to put words (n the player’s mouths, but Monty never falls for your line. Monty is a great player and leader on this team and he is a true Warrior!
Go Monty!! DGD
DGD! Mike, 'Thrive vs. Survive' discussion aside, I don't give a toot about the committee's *eye test* ...it's late November, and UGA is still in the CFP conversation... again... for the 3rd year in a row! Feels so good for this program to simply be RELEVANT again.
It wasn't so long ago (2016) that Ole Miss beat our Dawgs 45-14... same year as an unwatchable 24-10 performance in Jax, during which Georgia had literally no hope of winning. Lost 17-16 to Vandy... VANDY!?!? And didn't we lose to (gulp) Ga Tech in 2016, too?!?!
In a very short time, players like Rice and Kirby Smart and his staff have ELEVATED this program to -- dare I say it? -- Dooley heights. With all due respect to the Shreveports of the college football world, I must confess I don't miss the annual trips the Independence, Outback & Liberty bowls.
All of this, with nothing on the horizon to indicate Dawgs returning to mediocrity anytime soon. Thank you, Monty, and thank you, Kirby!!!
Monty Rice walks his talk....a bit glib...but true. The players see things differently than the armchair QBs like myself. When they hit that field...game on! It is their war ..we armchair it. They want to "thrive" not just survive...that is why they play the game. Coaches may strategize the game plan but players execute. They see their opponent eye to eye. Mano a mano. Coaches wince, grimace and holler but players execute. They win or lose in that execution. Monty Rice executes. He is a warrior....he plays to win! Monty is the poster boy for the UGA team many times. He has that attitude coaches like. He knows his assignment......tackle the opponent hard and often. One big Atta Boy for Monty!!! GO DAWGS!
