Dogs can't halt curse vs. Gators.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Josh Kendall
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. _ Scoot over Cubs fans. Out of the way Red Sox die-hards. Make room for a whole lot of heartbroken Southerners wearing red and black. Georgia should never have expected to beat Florida in the year of the curse.
Just weeks after Chicago and Boston baseball fans had streaks of futility extended in painful fashion, the No. 4 Bulldogs fell again to the Gators on Saturday, 16-13 in front of 84,411 in Alltel Stadium.
Chicago fans hold a goat responsible. Boston fans still spit out Babe Ruth's name. Bulldogs fans are running out of reasons. The loss was Georgia's sixth straight and 13th in 14 games against the Gators.
"There was a lot on the line in this game, and we didn't get it done," quarterback David Greene said. "It hurts."
The loss ended Georgia's national championship hopes and forced a logjam atop the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division. The Bulldogs (7-2, 4-2 SEC), and No. 23 Florida (6-3, 4-2) are tied at the top with Tennessee (6-2, 3-2) also in the mix with three very winnable conference games remaining.
"You come into this game, it's for the SEC (lead), the national championship is still in sight ... this one hurts," sophomore Bartley Miller said. "Plus, it's Georgia-Florida. We're sick of losing."
