As I get ready to leave for Athens, a thought occurs to me: it’s been a while since Sanford Stadium was legitimately rocking.
It’s feel good time, Dawgs. In fact, it’s way past time for that.
Consider this your game day thread post.

Quote Of The Day
-
“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 was there (it was my junior year), and though I stayed on the stands, I still got soaking wet.

My favorite Red Coat prank was at the 1981 Sugar Bowl (80 season) against Notre Dame. The two bands joined at pregame to spell “USA” and play the national anthem. The Red Coat half adjusted the “S” into a “G” and did a quick “Glory, glory” salute with the ND band inadvertently helping spell UGA across the Superdome field. Classic.

No way we win this game. Senator was nuts. Ranked team and we are just rank. Offense only scored 6 points and shot itself in the foot so many times we have club feet. Aubarn ran all over us for their TD. We looked small and weak all over the field. And the SEC should be absolutely ashamed of these refs.
But then that D! The young stud in the middle! The blitzes! The kid we “stole” from Nicky…ha! It was a setup all along to be sure his agent beat the aubies. Brilliant!

Agree completely with the comments about Eason stepping up. He is beyond special. Takes a licking and comes back tougher. And why we didn’t let him throw more in the red zone is beyond me. This team with an improved offensive line could easily be 8-2 right now. Worries me because that will be hard to fix by next year. I hope tonight was a sign rather than an aberration.
Curiously, how we handle LL may say more about this team than the UF or AU games. Is there anyone we can impose our offensive will on? We shall see.

What a defensive performance in the 2ed half. No 1st downs and by my crude calculations Auburn only had a little more than 6 minutes of offensive possession, Pitiful performance by the refs. They botched the coin toss to start off with. Gary Daniels made the excuse that the ref couldn’t see the pass interference. The fans in the stands behind him certainly seen it. And how about the the non call on that punt. An Auburn player stepped off the sideline onto the field and lined up as a gunner. How is that not a penalty? Luckily they were flagged to interference on the other end of the play.

“Godwin played quarterback in high school, which Smart knew from having recruited him. And Godwin threw a touchdown pass in Georgia’s bowl win last season. He hadn’t attempted a pass in the first nine games this year, but in practice he had thrown two touchdown passes on that play against Georgia’s defense.
“So I told coach Chaney: I want it,” Smart said. “He agreed. We went with it. Terry just made a bad decision there.”
LikeLike
“This time Georgia at least was able to retain possession and get a field goal. But Smart had no regrets about the second Godwin pass call, having apparently seen it work seven out of seven times this year in college football.
“I thought it was an aggressive call. We were going to win the game,” Smart said. “You want to run the ball on third-and-4 at the goal? No, we want to find a way to get it in. We thought the kid, 6-foot-6, was going to get it. And their guy made a good play.”
