Envy and jealousy, night time is the right time edition

With the news that the Tennessee game in two weeks will be on ESPN at 7PM, comes this tweet from Groo that made me laugh out loud.

    This is going to be an absolute slaughter of a game. I know everyone said that about ND, but UT is waaaay worse.

      Be careful. You’re about to be excoriated by a couple of commenters who don’t approve of that kind of talk.

        For me it’s just a very good memory of really good UGA teams showing up to that shit hole and getting run over by a UT team that had no business doing it. 2007 is a good example. I’m firmly in the “just win” camp for that game. We may get their last big shot of the year before they pack it in for good like they did in 2nd half of the UF game. Get up 14-21 points and that should do it. Don’t let them hang around.

          2007 was the one and only time I’ve been to Knoxville for the game. My wife and I are going again this year and I am afraid to get too confident.

            Went to 9 straight games in the 90’s, all loses. Lived in Nashville at the time, it was miserable.

            Never 100% confident in that game, it sorta does that to you. Probably hate UT and Notre Dame more than any. Beating UT’s ass after the ND game would go a long way for me this year.

          greg63, I feel exactly the same way. It’s not just 2007, and it’s not just in Neyland. We should have beaten them badly in 2004. Should have won after getting up 17 points in 2006, 2015, and 2016. Should have beaten them a lot worse in 2008 and 2012. This is one where I want to just win.

          That said, another 2003 or 2017 style beatdown would do my heart a lot of good. 🙂

          2019 Tennessee is not 2007 Tennessee, and 2019 UGA is not 2007 UGA (nor was 2007 UGA even the 2007 UGA we think of before the pre-Cocktail bye week).

          2007 Tennessee still won 10 games and the SEC East. 2019 Tennessee is BAD. And after three bad losses (each bad in a different way no less – out muscled and out played by Georgia State, blew a lead late against BYU, and blown out by UF), their team may have quit mentally too.

          Now they may still win. Things can happen. But this isn’t “oh good UGA team plays okay Tennessee.”

      Friend, I won’t be comfortable with that game until we walk out of there with all of our knees intact.

        I forgot about the knees! Yeah a win with two or three starters (or anyone for that matter) going down with ACL tears would be terrible.

        Exactly…..have lost some we had no business losing there in the past. Those 9 straight wins by them is still fresh in my mind. Make no mistake, they will be up for that game.

        With that said, FOCK’EM! …..they deserve what they are going through now.

        It would be great if they actually did burn the field so we don’t get any more injuries.

    Classic!
    Did not see this in your review, but was impressed the AA spent some real moola to have our new lights choreographed like that. Having the field be almost completely dark while everyone was trying to get set up for kickoff might’ve been my only complaint, but otherwise must say I was impressed…

      The lights looked really impressive on television, and I really don’t want to be “that guy,” but aren’t strobe-like light patterns trigger epileptic seizures? I speak from unfortunate experience. (I’m not epileptic, but I’ve been in the room where the lights started flashing and the lady next to me went down almost instantly like she’d been poleaxed. It’s a memory that’s stayed with me, obviously.)

        My wife and I were in the stadium, and the epilepsy question came out of her mouth about three seconds after the pre-game light show started. She is a physician and was pretty concerned about it. But I’ve heard nothing post-game about fan problems.

          Well I take solace in the fact that if your wife thought of it, and Busta did, and I did, a whole lot of other people did, too. How many millions of people watched it on TV? Surely out of that whole lot, a lot of people brought it up as a concern to UGA. Hell, I have to think that someone from the Athletic Department is reading our exchange right now, even if it is some social media intern gathering intel for old fartbusters who don’t know how to send an email. This is a Considerable Blog now in the UGA football ecosystem. If no one at Butts-Mehre isn’t at least looking in here from time to time, they’re negligent.

          The last thing the Athletic Department needs is … well, you imagine that scene for yourself and tell me how bad it will look. Surely between now and the next home game, they’ll have consulted with some experts in that field and taken steps to ameliorate that risk.

            It’s definitely a home run hit for the recruits, the team and fans from all the reactions. It sets us apart from any stadium I’ve seen (on TV), I’d even add lasers! Maybe that’s a bit much and add more layers/hurdles for the Athletic Department to get over. No need for fireworks with our light show though. Hopefully we never have anyone experiencing an attack or tripping down stares due to strobe lights. The LED light show/effects can have a stronger and much longer lasting effect than the Oregon uniform craze.

    We should roll in Kneeland. My only concern is that Orangeneck may be coaching for his job … whether his team is willing to respond is a completely different question.

      I can’t see how this could be the game that Pruitt’s future hangs on. After all, it’s been clear since Pruitt got there that he was going to get blasted by UGA for at least his first two, and more probably first three games against Georgia, no matter what he did.

      Of course, it’s the Philappotamus we are talking about here, and he may be so anxious to take the reins that any semblance of logic goes out the window.

      I hope so. Tickets are cheap so I hope there is a Dawg Nation invasion. We need all North Georgia and Chattanooga Dawgs to gooble these extra tickets up. Would be great to see the fans turn that stadium Red like Bama did a number of years ago.

    Q. Is -“The Most Georgia Thing Ever”- still a thing or not?
    It was lurking during the nerve wracking end of the ND game.
    It certainly had an opportunity yet failed to rear it’s ugly head.
    If it doesn’t show up against Tennessee in Knoxville, it may at least be on a long vacation.

      I don’t know about you, but I told my brother that the flubbed punt and ensuing gift TD was the “The most Georgia thing ever” when it happened. I know we won, but why can’t we just play a fair game and not spot the other team easy points?

    Going up to Knoxville 2 years ago was when I knew that team would be special. UT wasn’t good and we went in there and treated them as such. Here’s to that happening again.

    I will say that I think they’ll catch someone slipping this year and that may be why the game is at 7 and not noon. Maybe the network is thinking/hoping for the same thing.

    Anyone see one of the ESPN shows (SEC Now or Sportscenter) talking about F-U UTk game? I had a chuckle at the commentator making relevance of Florida’s win something to the effect of, this was the largest loss for UTk since the 2017 Georgia game.

    UTk may make it close for a quarter or two, but Proot knows Kirby and his constrictors are coming to choke the life outta the VAWLS and there’s nothing he or his team can do about it.

    I’d hope Junior and Lulu’s seat are up for grabs. Hell, 8 Dawg people could fit in there. Which brings a question in mind after being in that wasteland several times; With seats that small how do they fit in those or are they just a permanent fixture in the checkerboady
