Had a feeling this was coming:
Before you ask, Mizzou already has a rescheduled game for December 12, so the only way this gets a second shot would be for December 19, which, again, seems pretty lame.

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

Thanks God. Physically and mentally we need the week off. I know it didn’t do us much good after Alabama but really feels like we need it now.

What does this mean for Daniels? You expect Bennett to be healthy in two weeks, so does that mean play not to lose Kirby continues to do what he does and goes with Bennett, or will it be Daniels?
We get another week to sit on this loss. Can’t imagine anything worse than that given our situation.

The funny thing is that when Georgia’s offense is much better next season, you’ll claim it’s because Smart finally woke up and started playing to win or some such bullshit

Kirby had two weeks to get Daniels ready between Bama and Kentucky, and made the terrible decision to stick with Bennett, which is such a play not to lose move.
Kirby has to change. If he doesn’t, his time here will come to an end without having won a national title. If he does change, if he proves he can be adaptable, he will be able to win the title we all desire. It’s up to him.
And by the way, I’m not the only person in our fanbase or in the media who sees this. Andy Staples said this exact same thing on a podcast on Monday. Kirby has refused to be adaptable, which is stupid, because he learned under Saban who is ultra-adaptable. No better national CFB writer out there. He sees it, too.
But it’s okay. You told me off on a comment board, so you should feel better about you.

THE Andy Staples agrees with you? Well, who am I to argue with such a brain trust. Smart adapted, and then the QB situation fell apart. Your kneejerk reaction to this season is dumb.

I think this is how it will play out. The SEC will need Missouri to get as many wins as possible for bowl game positioning. Missouri plays Vandy on December 12 as currently scheduled with the hope they get to 6-3 or 5-4, and our game gets cancelled.
I guess the league could put games in the 12:00 and 3:30 slots on 12/19 leading up to the SEC championship game. The problem is this:
LSU/Bama and LSU/Florida – there is no spot to play both of these games assuming the Bammers and the Handbags are playing 12/19.
Vandy/Mizzou and UGA/Mizzou – if I’m Kirby, I say no way am I sending my team to Columbia, Missouri on December 19 (of course, we may not have a choice).
Right now, I’m betting we have a ton of guys who decide to opt out after 12/5 assuming they weren’t going to play in a bowl game.

I’m going off the assumption that a Missouri team with 1 game better record will be more attractive than a 5-5 or 4-6 Missouri team. I don’t think they are going to play on December 19, so one of the LSU and Missouri games each will be cancelled.
I can’t imagine our guys will be interested in a trip to freeze their collective @$$#3$ off in Columbia, Missouri right before Christmas.

I’m no prophet but it felt like this season was doomed before it began. Big10 is out then back in. Ditto with the PAC12. How was the CFP committee ever going to legitimately identify four worthy teams? Never made sense to me. I’ve viewed all this as televised entertainment, not my beloved Dawgs playing for glory. The only reason we are discussing games, past and future, is money. They have to be played. The revenue stream has to flow.

I still don’t understand why they pushed our KY game back a week when both teams were fine to play. You know games will get postponed or cancelled, so you gotta play’em whenever possible. Highly unlikely this game gets made up and wouldn’t be surprised to see another game get postponed before December.

This is pretty much an exhibition season. At this point, the coaches might consider looking at it that way as well.

It isn’t an exhibition season. National champions were declared during 2 world wars, and there aren’t asterisks beside them. Coaches’ records are being updated with the results of this year. There will be an SEC champion and a national champion.
We may have nothing to play for at this point, but calling it an exhibition season because of where we are right now is the nice way of saying 2020 is a throwaway season for Georgia football.

We can go 8-2 in the conference this season, and finish 9-2 against an all power 5 schedule. Not winning the East would be a disappointment but that record would be good.

Ee, it’s not an exhibition season but it’s illegitimate. The only hope of legitimacy was if all P5 schools played their entire schedule. That’s out the window now and it’s likely that every conference will finish with teams playing different numbers of games. You were early to say you wouldn’t watch if students weren’t allowed on campus. I respected that position and I also took it to mean you didn’t see this season as legit. Throw away season is a different way of saying it’s a joke and let’s get ready for ‘21. Yes, there will be championship games, CFP playoffs and t-shirts printed but that doesn’t mean it has any legitimacy. I don’t think you are arguing that it is legit, correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t see it.

All I’m saying is that there will be champions crowned and there won’t be an asterisk. I guarantee you we would be touting that the national championship drought was over if we had won it this year.
Legitimate is in the eye of the beholder.
My stance on sitting the season out was specifically about whether fans were going to be welcome to attend and that students would be on campus. It had nothing to do with whether the season was legitimate.

Well….we’re not going to be playing in the SEC Championship game so why not play Mizzou on Dec. 19? And before you go off half cocked and start calling it a “meaningless” game because It would’t make a difference in Georgia playing or not playing in the championship game, remember that under that standard ALL of Georgia’s remaining games this season would be meaningless. So are you now advocating that the Dawgs just pack it up and cancel the rest of the season? Eh, Bluto?
