Boy, it didn’t take long for a Georgia fan to ask Stewart Mandel ($$) that question. You know the question I’m talking about.
Will UGA finally get some respect from fans in Montana? — Timothy M., Atlanta
I can’t even tell you how beautifully poetic the timing of Georgia’s national championship is — almost exactly 15 years after I first ticked off the Bulldog blogosphere by suggesting random fans in Montana wouldn’t recognize their helmet, and just in time for my once-every-five-years update to the Program Pecking Order.
I’ll be publishing the next installment very soon. Spoiler alert: Yes, Georgia, you are now kings.
When they finish listing Kirby Smart’s accomplishments as a head coach, they’ll have to add that to his resume.
We have won Stewies approval. I can now die a happy man.

Will this be part of Kirby’s display at the CFB Hall of Fame and Chicken Sandwiches? If not, it should be.
Montana knows who we are now!!!

It is so gratifying that Mandel is now forced to admit that Georgia is a king in the college football world. He refused to take the red pill willingly, so he got it as a suppository on Monday night.

I’m as loyal an UGA fan as there ever was and there ever will be, but what really grinds my gears is how CKS doubly screwed up my most anticipated October horseshit discussions on how Kirby and GA lack the skills and horses to beat the all exalted FU head coach and team. According to Pravda and our national sports media, especially in October as that cocktail party approaches, regardless of results on the field, regardless of recruiting prowess, regardless of win/loss records…UGA was always second best in the East. Except, Kirby never gave a flying rip about all that written and spoken BS…he just kept delivering results. He flushed out a few coaches in FU, he also beat their teams on the field…in essence, his unbridled success ruined my ability to buy into all the horseshit the media has been selling. I guess my point is I don’t place much credence in most sports media, because most of the “talking heads” lost credibility many many years ago. I know I know…I’ll go pull up my black socks to my knees and yell at the teenagers for playing their hippity hop music too loudly.
That narrative changed on Monday regarding anyone UGA plays, so the media better swallow that fish whole.
Go Dawgs!
To all the national media shrews I say, FTMFs

This is what I’m talking about…this was the most dominant UGA team ever…a truly dynamic offense and a defense that constantly smacked the taste out of everyone’s mouth we played…including Alabama
Until we saw it first hand, none of us could have imagined such dominance all season long. Give this 2021 team credit…they were the baddest mfers to wear Red and Black. Color my dumbass impressed

The problem all season has been that they were SOMEBODY until the Dawgs got hold of them. Then and only then did they become NOBODY. Does that also mean that all the “smart” people who were lauding them as SOMEBODY pre dawg are then “idiots” post dawg as they turn in to NOBODY? Asking for a friend.

Stetson was obviously taller that Bryce.
During the Cotton Bowl, Bama batted down 4 different passes from Ridder. I commented that he must be 5’5″ as all the smart kids keep telling me that only midgets get their passes batted down. (BTW, Ridder is 6’4″.)

I read one of his earlier articles where he said (admitted?) when he moved to Atlanta in 1999 he thought Nebraska, Miami, etc were the kings of CFB. He was surprised at how passionate Georgia fans were about their team. Just shows me he’s an average midwest schlub who doesn’t really know squat about CFB and the true passion it evokes. His job probably gives him more insight now, but he seems too stubborn to admit he was ever wrong.
