It’s weird. The only issue I’m consumed with angst about is how easily I’m getting in the stadium. The prospects of the game itself haven’t tied my stomach in knots. My head and heart haven’t been doing battle today as they have over much of the season.
Maybe that’s because I’m still on a Rose Bowl high. (Every time I watch the replay of Sony’s run to end the game, I’m reminded of how similar the way I felt when I saw it live was to the way I felt watching Robert Edward’s cathartic touchdown run in the 1997 Georgia-Florida game. Woo!)
More likely it goes back to the feeling I’ve had ever since Georgia eviscerated Auburn in the SECCG, that feeling that I’m playing with house money. It’s crazy to process how far this program has come in such a short time — if you for some strange reason don’t believe that, go back and read this post of mine from October, 2016 to put what’s happened this season in perspective — and what that says about where it’s going. I’ve already gotten way more out of 2017 and the first week of 2018 than I expected before this season got underway. So whatever happens tonight is cool with me.
Okay, that’s not totally true.
No, it’s not that I expect a Georgia win and will be disappointed with the second loss of the season. If I’m honest about the title game, my head thinks that you can’t go against a Saban team that knows what to do in a momentous game like tonight’s and my heart isn’t really putting up much of an argument in response.
However, believe it or not, that isn’t the main thing I’m hoping for when I watch. What I really want is to feel that same flash, that same instant realization that hit me midway through the 2002 Georgia-Florida game, when it suddenly struck me that for the first time in over a decade, Georgia belonged on the same field with the Gators as equals. Don’t get me wrong; the loss was disappointing, but it was such in a very different way than I’d been used to for so many years.
Alabama has been college football’s gold standard for a decade now and, even in the wake of the 2012 heavyweight match that was the SECCG, no one has looked at the Dawgs as being on equal footing with Saban’s teams since the disastrous 2008 blackout meeting between the two programs. That’s the thunderbolt I want to be hit with tonight. Give me a true sense that a new sheriff’s in town and even if Georgia walks out on the short end of a field goal difference (which happens to be my prediction, by the way), I’ll feel elated in a way I haven’t felt in many a year.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, but if Athens has turned elite in less than two years, I can handle that. At least I think I’d like to try.
As always, feel free to jump in with your thoughts in the comments. I’ll see you guys and gals on the other side.
I really don’t want this to come down to a FG by Rodrigo. He has grown by leaps and bounds this year ( thanks Graduate Assistant Butler) but he still has that sliver of doubt when he steps up….To see otherwise be ample evidence of the identity change I believe you allude to. And for which I would be eternally grateful…… Cmon you hairy Dawgs, hunker DOWN one more time…….

Your comment on “looking like they belong” was my only goal for this year’s team, but it related to the SECCG, which I assumed would be against Bama. That game is just coming two games later and includes an amazing win against OU (which if you told me would happen after seeing how they handled OSU way back in week 2, would have blown my mind). After playing out the season, this Bama team is more than mortal and we 100% have a legit reason to think a win is possible. The key here is our offense has to find a way to keep the ball moving in the first half (even if they don’t score) and not hang the D out to dry. No turnovers, and not giving Bama penalties to move them downfield on key plays (so basically, the only warts we’ve had in games this season). Bama’s lines are super physical, which worries me…but if we make it through the first quarter even and are getting some movement, I like our chances. No championship is a cakewalk, so we’re going to have to earn it…if you want to be the best, you got to beat the best! GO DAWGS!

I don’t feel good about this game and had no concerns prior to Oklahoma. I fear that our game plan will be to burn clock and get the game into the 4th quarter… and I feel this plays right into Bama’s hands. I hope we try to light them up early and often… then try to pound them in the 4th quarter.
The key to the game imo is not letting them gash us up the middle. An early lead for us might cause them to throw the ball more… which is good.
I can also say that I am so sick of the hype leading up to this game that it won’t crush me if we don’t play in it next year.

We all love Chubb, but as mentioned above I just do not understand giving him so many carries when he obviously didn’t have it tonight. Here’s the box score for the tailbacks:
CAR YDS AVG TD LONG
Sony Michel 14 98 7.0 0 26
Nick Chubb 18 25 1.4 0 7
D’Andre Swift 4 15 3.8 0 7
Sony was having great success, and it wasn’t even close. I understand how you might split carries through the first half, but the difference in winning or losing might have been swapping the number of carries above.
Combine that with the weird schizo playcalling – brilliant one drive, then three runs up the gut on the best run defense in America on the next drive, and I just get pissed. We stopped passing on 1st down. What was the Ramsey thing?

One day I’ll watch Georgia not get fucked over by officials in a game against an SEC opponent. Still, it was a good game and a great year. And the future still looks bright for the program.

The morning after:
Well obviously there is some emotional pain, after coming so close. I wanted it bad for the seniors and the Bulldawg nation…and for my daughter and myself.
But what a year! There is so much to celebrate. If you had laid out the year and told me what might happen before it began, I would have paid good money to ensure it played out.
From the awesome wins in historic venues, like South Bend and the Rose Bowl, to an SEC Championship and a close overtime game against Alabama for all the marbles, not to mention a Kirb-stomp on the Gators in between, and we did it with a freshman QB…yeah, I’ll take it.
To sum it up in a few words…
It’s STILL great to be a Georgia Bulldawg!

Well, I guess it all evened out. We come back from 17 down, and we lose being 13 up. It sure sucks.
Second half play calling was a head scratcher. On our last drive to possibly win the game, neither Sony or Chubb see the field? Bizarre. Fromm throws a helmet pass? And it wasn’t Parrish’s best night. Maybe give him some help?
Anyhoo…great season by the Dawgs. I still say we’re ahead of schedule and expect to be back real soon. I just hope our luck with injuries this year doesn’t swing the other way next year.

For any of you that take the AJC..one of their “features” this morning, something that they saw as fit to print, is an article consisting of GT fans mocking “Georgia’s crushing loss”. Of course I didn’t read it and neither should you, but I have never seen a paper do anything that classless before.

LOL! That’s all they’ve got. We killed them in football and basketball. I guess they win the anime competition.

Wow. The funny part is that those GT fans have no idea what tools they look like by doing that. That was 60 + minutes of ass kicking football. Tech couldn’t have hung with either team for a quarter.

Watch at full screen. This was the turning point of this game. It’s not going to change the outcome but it might change the way the loss is seen by some. Once again, the refs effected the outcome of a billion dollar game.

Who pulls their starting championship QB after one half for a freshman who has never played and still wins the game?
FFS.
