Your national championship game day post

First of all, savor the moment a little.  Our Dawgs are playing for the national title for the second time in five seasons.  There are very few teams in the country who wouldn’t trade their last five seasons for that.

Naturally, Georgia faces one of those teams tonight.

My head and heart have wrestled to a draw about this game, so I will refrain from making any predictions about the outcome, other than to say it is a game these Georgia players and coaches can win.  While I won’t say it gives me hope — nah, ain’t goin’ there — I do think one underplayed factor leading up to the game is the health situation.  The Dawgs, particularly the receiving corps, should be the healthiest overall they’ve been all season, while ‘Bama has to work without Metchie (and don’t try to tell me he’s a mere replaceable cog in the Tide’s wheel), Jobe and possibly a banged up offensive line.

Then again, they’re the only other team in the country with depth that matches Georgia’s, so maybe it’s not as underplayed as I think it might be.

Anyway, this game has been hot take’d to death, to the point I’m tired of thinking about all the obvious bits presented as profound analysis.  You know them all as well as I do.

Let’s hope our guys come out focused and hungry.  If they do, I’m more than willing to let the chips fall where they may.

And with that, the comments section is at your disposal, peeps.

    Win or lose tonight, we’re in a damn good place to be as a program, and this season has already given us plenty of very fun memories. One more sure would be nice though. Go Dawgs!!

        After all the hype and then negativity of many bloggers, it comes down to this: Our Dawgs against the Tide…man to man…stategy and tactics from the booth, the crowd from both schools. i never pray for a victory, just that we play our best and that no one gets seriously injured. Victory would be epic but there’s no shame in coming in second…we’ve had a glorious year and all those young men have made personal memories never to be forgotten. I’ll be watching along with all of y’all and yelling for my Dawgs. The sun will come up tomorrow…hopefully on a championship for the University of Georgia…and its faithful fans!!! Go Dawgs…GATA!!!!!

  7. All I ask for tonight is for the coaches to put players in the position to take advantage of what we do well and the players to be focused and to execute. If we lay it all on the line like we did in the 2018 title game, let the chips fall where they may.

    I’ve mentioned that I’m very Munson-y about tonight. Can we win? Absolutely. This team was the best team in the country for the entire season. Can we lose? Yes … as we showed in December. I can’t shake the notion that we make the killer mistake from the sideline or on the field that makes the difference.

    Please, please, please, Dawgs, prove me wrong. I really believe when we break through, it’s going to be a true golden age of Georgia football. Tonight is as good of a time as any to start that golden age.

    Despite the “Georgia can’t get over the hump” narrative, it feels to me that the pressure is on Bama.

    They won the SECCG. They have the heisman winner taking snaps. They have the GOAT on the the sidelines. All in the “offense is everything” eta. And that all makes me surprisingly calm. The worst that happens is we lose and the narrative sticks around. For a while. Because Kirbs WILL crack this nut sooner or later.

    The other alternative is we crack this nut tonight, taking down the GOAT and the heisman winner, and get to spend a glorious offseason knowing that there’s nothing this program hasn’t accomplished in the modern college football era.

    Take down the GOAT on the biggest stage…hunker down one more time! Go become legends, young men!

    But more importantly, if the Dawgs play angry and pissed off, they can win.

    I really think we need to win this game to keep the momentum of the program going. Kirby is 25 years younger than Saban and could win his first one 6-7 years earlier than him. If he gets this one, he’s on his way to catching him. I have a feeling 20 years from now we’re sitting around the fire talking about Kirbs as the GOAT as he preps to play for his 10th natty. It starts tonight. Go get ’em boys. Leave no doubt!

    Just my 2 cents…

    In games like this there is an advantage for the previous loser. Saban knows this and he’s been trying to overcome it.

    Bama played their best game in Atlanta and we played our worst.

    Our defense is going to get after Bryce Young, but Saban is ready for that. It’s really going to come down to can we pressure Young while still dealing with Robinson? I think we can.

    They’re going to try to confuse Bennett and get him to press things. He knows this and is ready.

    My prediction is a lower scoring game where we are winning in the 4th, but they make a charge and test us. Whether the D can stuff them or Bennett can run an effective 2 minute drill will decide the game.

    I’m a total homer that bleeds red and black, so I say we win. 24-18

  41. I like to mention my dad in comments here since he has more in common with many of you than I do…. I did not attend UGA, and neither did any of my close family members. I was raised in Mississippi, and have spent the last 22+ years of my life in Maryland —- a place with no real interest for college football.

    But the reason I “bleed red and black” is because of some family history.

    My dad was born in 1957 in Athens, and spent the first several years of his life on College Avenue. Then the the rest of his “growing up years” on Park Avenue near Normal Town, before going away for college in 1975 and returning only during breaks and later visits to his parents.

    My father has often said, with a far off look in his eye and a funny wistful grin, “I grew up running all over that campus,” speaking of UGA.

    His father, a WWII vet born in 1919, was born and raised in North Carolina, but made Athens home for he and his young family when he returned home from war in 1945. He worked as a custodian and maintenance man at the University of Georgia for nearly the entire remaining balance of his adult life. Sadly, I was not yet 2-years old when he died in 1985 and therefore, quite regrettably, never got to know him.

    The other day I mentioned in the comments here that my older sister’s first words were Herschel Walker. It sounds like folk-lore, but it’s not. My mother (from Western New York and with no attachment or love for sports at all, let alone college football) has made it clear many times saying, “It’s true”, with a disgusted eye-roll and side-ways glance at my dad. LOL.

    Last night my dad (a minister), walked up to me after preaching a sermon on Jeremiah. And, without even saying a “hello”, said something like, “You know, I’ve been following Georgia Football pretty seriously since about age 13. I sure would like for them to just go ahead and win this one.”

    All I could do was smile and say, “Me too.”

    Most likely Georgia pulls out all the stops early.

    Georgia is going to try and win this game in the first quarter and a half. Look for trick plays, deep shots, gambling on 4th down etc etc. The Georgia players will come out with an intensity you have never seen before and the Georgia coaches are going to try and use that to knock Bama out early. They have to. The 2nd and 3rd qtrs is when shit hits the fan against Bama. If the Georgia players look up at the scoreboard to start the 3rd and Georgia does not have a pretty comfortable lead then they will start looking for the boogeyman. They need a big enough lead where they can look at the scoreboard and not feel like the same old demons isn’t going to run them down from behind against Bama again. So look for Kirby to go all out in the first quarter and a half at least. Georgia has to put this thing away early if they are going to win tonight.

    Problem for them is Alabama is going to take and withstand their best shot early. Then they are going to give them theirs. It’s going to get ugly

    It’s been a long while since I have posted. As my name suggests, I am a Bama fan. As mentioned, Bama has had a truly remarkable run these past several years. BS (Before Saban), we were wondering in the desert for many, many years. I certainly don’t take what has been accomplished thus far for granted.

    This game feels much different than all the previous games. Back in 2012, it seemed GA was just having a good (read almost a fluke) year, and they would fall back in the pack the next several years. This certainly happened.

    Now, under Smart, this team seems that it will have a run similar to Bama (regardless of outcome of tonight). Smart has your program at the same level as Bama; and will have for the years to come. I foresee this Championship game hosting these two teams again playing each other more times in the coming years.

    On paper, this is Bama’s worst team that has made it to the National Championship game. Georgia is just plain better than Bama. However, never bet against Saban in a big game. As many have already stated, this game has been analyzed ad nauseam; so I won’t add my two cents.

    I hope this is game will be legendary, the players stay healthy, and we have one hellava game. Good luck and Roll Tide.

    QB and coaching is better on the other sideline. And they are still shutting down the run game because they don’t think SB can beat them. Gonna have to find a way to win in spite of this. SB is a DGD and doing everything he can, but I just don’t see how it can be enough.

      I think the concern was that the Alabama pass rush wouldn’t allow Bennett the time to throw deep and a short passing sequence would not get us down the field fast enough to get in field goal range. If Alabama sacked Bennett , which was a risk, Alabama had enough time outs to force a punt out of the endzone. That would give Alabama a short field with over minute to get in field goal range. We get the ball to start the second half and should have better field position.

    Very frustrating to me that it seems like we still haven’t learned that conservative coaching will not beat Bama. I do not understand how we don’t take the opportunity to tie it up with 90 seconds and two timeouts knowing we get the ball back in a game like this. I understand it’s still a W in many ways to be within three at the half, but it feels like it’s the same story with Bama, namely our refusal to go for the kill when this is the opponent that most justifies it.

    As always, the pundits got it wrong (as the rest of us). This, incredibly, has turn into a defensive game. Anyone who had “no touchdowns” in the entire first half, please raise your hands. I, certainly, wasn’t one of them.

    This is definitely different from the SECC. Georgia has adjusted well; they are getting pressure on Young. GA’s QB was definitely stressed out to start the game. Need to get that freak of nature TE involved.

    Bama is doing well at defense, so far. Biggest story for Bama is the injury bug has struck at key positions. Can Bama replace the irreplaceable? The game seems to be Georgia’s to lose at this point. Bama has been lucky to this point. Georgia has shot themselves in the foot so far. I stated this before the game, and I haven’t seen anything thus far to change my mind, “Georgia is a better team”.

    Can Saban do what he does best; or can Georgia finally get over the hump? This is the question for the 2nd half.

    I hate we lost both of our best receivers. Bama is playing from behind the eight ball.

    My consolation is we have Saban making our adjustments.
