Shocking upsets have cut both ways for the Dawgs
It’s the wins (and losses) that you don’t see coming that really stick in Georgia fans’ memories

Bill, all of the games you mentioned are worthy of some of the greatest upsets in Georgia history, but I have to believe that the upset of Texas in the 1984 Cotton Bowl has to be at the top of the list. Nobody gave us a shot of even hanging around with them beyond the 2nd quarter and because of our upset, it cost them their ultimate goal. Now as far as sec upsets, I agree with you about the 1985 beat down of the no. 1 ranked gators. A lot of good memories. Go Dawgs!!
The 1976 game against the Gators, I had lost faith in the Dawgs at half time coming back from 14 points down. So, I went back into the woods that afternoon to bag a deer for the cooler. When I got back out of the woods I learned it was the Dawgs that ran wild the second half to win 41-27. I didn't have a VCR to tape the game, I missed the one deer I saw that day and missed the Dawgs stomping all over the Gators too.
