“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

I’m afraid it will be a sad state of affairs to watch no fewer than 6 guys on the Auburn DL that could have/should have come to UGA totally eviscerate our hapless O-Line. Sorry but I don’t see any way of scheming around what that group will be bringing to Athens. The only thing more shameful on the part of Richt & Co than the OL roster management (or lack thereof) was allowing Adams, Russell, Jackson, Lawson, Williams, etc to leave the state. If not for Trent Thompson and some overachieving freshmen, we’d paying for this gaff just as bad as the other side of the line.

Where did I blame the spread on Richt? I just pointed out another misgiving of our former coach, one that would have been just as applicable in Game 1 as Game 10. Has nothing to do with the spread unless you believe their DL is the lone reason they’re favored by 10.

So it’s not the spread. You’re blaming the entire season on Richt. Got it.
Kirby and McGarity appreciate it.

Insofar as the entire season comes down to the personnel you have to work with on the OL and DL. But where’s the fun in feigned outrage over something I never actually said, amirite?

We can’t afford to lower that reserve fund to compete with the Barn. Amazing how Rodney Garner became an elite recruiter again once he went home and had the checkbook opened up. I don’t blame MR for him not even calling kids who wanted to come to UGA but he should have been sent packing years ago.

Calm down boys. We’re finally getting our poop in a group. Chaney’s upstairs, Butler’s solved our kicking problems, and poor Catalina being injured somehow actually improves our OL. Kick back, relax and watch the Silver Britches cruise to victory on Saturday.
Seriously though….
I didn’t watch the Kentucky game and I won’t spend any time on this one either. Call me when the bowl game is announced, though. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when we play Miami.

AU should be favored..but not by ten. Georgia isn’t quite as anemic as some think, and Auburn isn’t quite as good as many think. That makes it maybe a 6 point spread. But I think Georgia has a good chance.
There’s a little thing everyone seems to be missing…the coming of age of Eason.. Something happened to him in the 4th against KY. It’s called “Self Confidence” .IF iit carries over to Saturday, Georgia has a good chance to win…Also..I think Chubb is just now coming around from his ankle sprain. . Sony, Nauta, Wims…and Rodrigo with his Dawg Toe will be kicking it around. Auburn can’t assume Georgia has no kicking game..last week they could. And I’Mac, having gotten his mistakes out of the way, will be a big factor. A home game win will make this season look one hell of a lot better than it did a couple of weeks ago. I can see these Dawgs winning out and getting a mid level bowl game.

If Pettway doesn’t play, and the Williams kid is not at LB, Auburn is in trouble in Athens. QB has a bad shoulder, and K Johnson, the other RB, has sprained his ankle again. This game is gonna be closer than the experts think.
