Sugar Bowl game night post

Ah, what the hell — it’s Georgia’s last game of the season.  You need a post and a comment section for that, amirite?

FWIW, I think the Dawgs show up tonight.  How about you?

      If you don’t want to get hit, don’t run or run out of bounds before contact. That was called because it was a solid hit. Impossible at that angle to tell if he can still stretch for.more yardage at that point.

    Our boys are sick of hearing about last year’s Sugar and this year’s SECCG. They’ll be looking to silence the crowd and show everyone they GAS.

    The defense comes to play and Fromm progresses. Dawgs roll little Baylor.

    I’m not worried about motivation, I am worried about the offense’s ability. Damn shame Simmons and Landers aren’t two of the players sitting this game out or better yet ruled permanently ineligible.

    This one feels odd. We have more players sitting out than any other team this year (I think), and there’s several players out that are not draft prospects and they are still out. No idea if they show up, and if they do show up if it will be enough.

    Why in the world wouldn’t you call a TO…challange your line and make a f’ing statement? His statement is, “I don’t think you can block for one yard”. No wonder this offense is in the doldrums.
    That’s exactly what CMR did the year we lost to UCF. Kicked a FG with fourth and one the first trip in the redzone.
    Take the easy three and leave four on the field…OK in a close conference game or a playoff game..but a f’ing bowl game with a decimated roster? Shit.

          Read the post. I said to that point which was accurate. Even after that point, as Blackledge pointed out on the two point conversion he is not making consistent good reads or snap decisions. Now, I think Jake Fromm is key to our chance for success next year and I hope these weaknesses help him decide to come back. He is eons better than anything we have, yet based on what we have seen in the last 5 games, he is not having a “pro ready” year. Just trying to be objective. It’s a long time to September and Pickens rumored issues could foul it all up too. Also, where do you think Baylor would rate in our conference? I would venture there are at least 5 a lot better and 2 or 3 more equal. Still I am very happy with our performance and willingness to abandon man ball to some degree after the 2 early offensive sets. Our D will be formidable against all except the very best O’s. Let’s close the deal.

            Timing in the passing game is not an easy thing to develop in the middle of a season, especially with freshmen & 3rd stringers. Also, OL has been musical chairs this year.

      1) We scored an anemic 7 points in the second half.

      2) We scored only 26 total points when we had a 3-0 turnover margin in our favor AND executed a fake field goal.

      That is not a complete game.

      Fromm played well but not great and not “damn good.” Relax. Simmer down.

This team could have mailed it in when all of those players weren’t available. They didn’t because Kirby set the tone in Athens and that carried over to New Orleans.

          And only scored 26 points when we were 3-0 on turnovers?

          Sorry. This is so far from his best coaching job it doesn’t even make the top 10.

          I am very glad we won. I am glad we showed up and played hard. But you need to dial it back about 14 notches.

    Dawgs win the Sugar Bowl! That’s a helluva thing. Must go now as idawg is kicking me and D as in Dumfuck’s mom out of his basement. Got to put her up in the kennel and fill her water bowl.

        We never have been able to house train your mom. 15 years ago the Dawgs beat Wisconsin 24-21 and your mom shit on the basement floor. I swept most of it up, but she was so attached to one particular turd we allowed her to raise it and name it D. As in Dumbfuck. Happy birthday, ya shithead.

  109. Kirby post game: “the fake fg was there on the previous 2 and I chickened out. I didn’t know how many more times we’d be in 4th and short but we’ve kicked so many FGs, and you’ve gotta about TDs, so I went for it”

    Amen!!

    The negatrons ignore that we beat THREE 11 win teams (Notre Dame, Florida and Baylor) and a 9 win team (Auburn) and three 8 win teams (Arkansas State, Kentucky and Texas A& M) That number of wins against 8 win teams may become four if UT wins its bowl game. That means we would have beaten 8 quality opponents.
    I acknowledge our offense was not as good as we hoped but it still was a season with a lot of great moments.
