In case you were wondering…
Hope the team effort has a better showing than it did in the SECCG.

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

After that turd laying in Atlanta and the distractions since then, I’m not expecting much from our guys this weekend. I’ll watch, but, man, did the SECCG take some wind out of my sails.

Ben I feel the same way buddy! I am always the optimist as you have probably read before on GTP, however this pause between games, after a beat down, has really been a bummer for me. I was so so jacked up before the SECCG that I don’t know if I can get back there again!
I will certainly be tuned in and on point Friday, but I just ain’t feeling it right now!

Think we’ve all felt that way a bit… kinda by conditioning. Usually losing that game means there’s nothing left and the season is over, save for maybe a meaningless bowl.
Not the case this year. Oddly, UGA has usually been on the shit end of the “exception” situation when it comes to titles. Bananas that’d we’re sitting where we are right now.
I firmly believe our team is a better team than the product they put on the field Dec 4. That game’s over and done with, and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let it beat me any further.
BEAT MICHIGAN.
Go Dawgs.

“Bennett’s production drops precipitously when facing pressure. Bennett sports PFF’s third highest QBR on non pressured plays behind OSU’s Stroud and Coastal’s McCall (ahead of Bryce Young). But, when facing pressure, Bennett’s QB Rating goes from 137.5 to 37.4.”

Not sure the big uglies have faced a pass rush as good as Michigan’s but pass blocking is their strength. Hoping Salyer is healthy and ready to rock. If the run game gets going and Stet gets a clean pocket, the Dawgs should win by 10+.

The problem hasn’t been SBIV under pressure. It’s been SBIV behind the chains on 3rd down. If we don’t have an effective running game, it’s going to be a challenge.

I don’t think Bama is thinking about us yet and they won’t be scared. But they don’t want to play is again. What worked the first time won’t be a surprise next time. If there is a next time. Now, if we lose to UM, it’s gonna be a looong off season and Kirby will have a bullseye on his back from all of us. Reason vary but mostly about not being prepared.

Sorry , Moe, I might have been more precise. Kirby isn’t in any danger if being fired and that was not my point. Anything less than a CFP Championship will bring out all the voices that say he can’t coach qb’s, doesn’t know offense, is too controlling, etc., etc. Same things said since Jake Fromm was winning what, 90% of his games. That was my point. And I misspoke when I said, “from all of us”. But bet this, there will be plenty of grousing around here with anything less than a trophy.
LikeLiked by 2 people
Absolutely there will be grousing around here. If we come up short, it’ll be the third time in four years that Kirby, who was brought in to replicate the Bama plan, will have been beaten by Saban for a championship. And the fourth time in four years if we play them in Indy.
I know, no one else is beating Saban, either. And 12-1 or 13-2 with this team is really good, but if we don’t get over the Bama hump, and Saban is still around doing Saban things, people will be frustrated. And they’ll be right to be frustrated just as much as you have your right to be optimistic.
I’m gonna watch, and I’m gonna cheer for the Dawgs, and I’ll eat my crow if we win. And hell, I still think we should build a statue for Stetson for what he’s done for the program. But I’m still grousing and frustrated because I lived in south Alabama for 13 years during the Saban run and the Auburn championships, and I’m tired of seeing my team come up short.

Just as Bobby Bowden was and Tom Osbourne didn’t win a national championship in their first 6 years af FSU and Nebraska respectively. Osborne won his first NC at the end of his 22nd year at Nebraska. Bowden won his first in his 22nd year at FSU and 38th year iof being a 4 year college head coach.
I will get both coaches were glad no one put a bullseye on their backs after just 6 years.
Through his first 79 games Smartvis 65-14. Through his first 79 games as a 4 year college head coach Bowden was 58-21. Osborne was 61-16-2.
Smart is doing fine.
