With all the recent craziness surrounding college football, sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of what we’re hanging around for.
David Hale: Clemson and Georgia is the perfect September football game. It’s an established title contender in Clemson vs. the trendy pick for 2021 in Georgia. It’s a matchup of big-armed QBs from Southern California. It’s two teams that have recruited at the highest level for years. And rather than a one-off spectacle, this is a matchup that actually has history on its side, too, with UGA and Clemson playing 64 times in the past, with the last matchup in 2014 including Deshaun Watson’s awe-inspiriting first TD throw and an absolute huge performance from Bulldogs’ superstar Todd Gurley on the ground. This is as good an opening weekend showdown as we’ve had in college football in a long time.
Amen to that. I can’t wait.

If you’re a dawg fan…and intoxicated…and don’t say dumb shit … and you don’t boo our team or coaches … and you don’t mind strings of profanity …. and the occasional bursts of rage then you’d find me a delight to sit next to at a georgia football game.
Under all other circumstances, you’re definitely better off at a distance.

In my younger days, you weren’t a true Dawg can unless you despised them and their white trash fans. I still feel the same way now. Clemson sucks.

For all the younger guys out there,this is old school hate. I’m talkin’ Danny “Boy” Ford era and before. They were a real pain in the ass back then. If you won, you were supposed to. Lose and your season was done.

“A Georgia fan referring to Clemson fans as white trash…yeaaaa that’s reallll rich.” That was a text from my friend, an 84 CU grad. Same guy who as an undergrad went to a doctor because his genitals were orange. Doc told him to stop eating Cheetos while watching porn. Oooooooh! It ain’t easy being cheesy!
Keep twisting that blade, OpelikaDawg.

Back in the 70’s when Climpson football was always on probation and Tate$ Tiger$ were the best that money could buy, a sign frequently seen at games was:

I’m ready! I’m sure the week 1 trailer will have some Kevin Butler mixed with some David Greene with a dash of Todd Gurley and Nick Chubb.

I will be in my man cave watching on my 40″ armed with cold beer, boiled peanuts, glass-bottled coca-colas, chips and dip while wearing my best UGA gear. Does it get any better than that?

If Dabo had stuck with Watson in that game, he might have pulled it off.
But, Gurley was lights out that night.

Was that the game where Gurley just plain wore himself out running free all night? Somebody tell our RB room to watch that YouTube clip.

That was also a breakout game for Sony and Nick. Remember Chubb’s first TD when he lost his shoe?

Yep. It was one of those games where the QB just had to turn around and hand it to one of our guys.
If you asked me at the end which team would win a title first, I’d have gone hands down on the Dawgs. That 2014 team had potential to be THAT SPECIAL.

A rivalry history makes a game more compelling? More watchable? More enjoyable? My God, Watson, I think we’re on to something here.
