Monday Morning Cage Match XVIII:45-19 vs. 1940.

If you're a Georgia fan -- or maybe even if you're not -- this one should be pretty self-explanatory. Who had the bigger failure of strategy: Our defensive coordinator or the general in command of French forces during the Nazi invasion in World War II? Only the Monday Morning Cage Match can decide for sure -- and thus we have Willie Martinez vs. Maurice Gustave Gamelin.
