BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A.J. Slaughter scored 20 points as Western Kentucky rallied to defeat Georgia 67-63 on Tuesday night.
There aren’t many teams in the country that would consider a nine-win season a disappointment, but even Georgia coach Mark Richt knows that is the general consensus when summing up 2008 for his Bulldogs.
Georgia looked to be a near lock for the Capital One Bowl last week, but the Bulldogs’ upset loss at the hands of Georgia Tech combined with Mississippi’s blowout win over rival Mississippi State has muddied the waters a bit.
Following a disastrous defensive performance in a 45-42 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday, many fans are calling for head coach Mark Richt to make significant changes in the offseason.

ATHENS — Georgia’s seniors were honored before the Bulldogs’ 45-42 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday, but after the game, it was junior Matthew Stafford and sophomore Knowshon Moreno who were barraged with questions about their future.
ATHENS — Rennie Curran has made a point to keep in touch with his close friends Jonathan Dwyer and Roddy Jones all season, sending them a text message every time one of the Georgia Tech tailbacks has a memorable game.
ATHENS, Ga. — Ordinarily, it wouldn’t have been a moment Mohamed Massaquoi wanted to savor. Regardless of his statistics, the senior normally is quick to put a loss behind him.
ATHENS, Ga. — It had already been a long season for embattled Georgia defensive coordinator Willie Martinez, but as the final seconds of the Bulldogs’ 45-42 loss ticked off the clock, many fans were already wondering if it wasn’t just Georgia’s seniors who would be waiving goodbye to Sanford Stadium.
ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia fans finally had their chance to pay tribute to Larry Munson on Saturday, and the former longtime voice of the Georgia radio network responded with a long tip of his cap.

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia linebacker Rennie Curran has been a Bulldogs fan since he started playing football nearly a decade ago, but he said he never paid much attention to the annual game with Georgia Tech.
ATHENS, Ga. — The only time Matthew Stafford said he has ever been nervous on the field was the first time he stepped under center at Sanford Stadium.
ATHENS, Ga. — Right tackle Justin Anderson’s injured foot is feeling better this week, coach Mark Richt said, and the redshirt freshman hasn’t been officially ruled out for this week’s game against Georgia Tech.
Jeff Owens calls himself the captain of the green team.
Mark Richt didn’t think there was much chance his Georgia Bulldogs would overlook Georgia Tech just because they had beaten the Yellow Jackets seven straight times.
ATHENS, Ga. —An oversized grid of names and numbers nearly fills a wall in the hallway between Georgia’s training room and weight room. It lists the record holders for each position in various feats of strength and speed — a monument to the players who were as impressive in the gym as they were on the field.
