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

CMR has 8 wins at Grant Field at the HC of the Dawgs and another win at Grant Field, while at Miami. So that’s 9 wins.
Collins has a total of 9 wins in 3 seasons, with 3 of them being on the road. That’s right – CMR has 3 more wins at Grant Field than Collins does.
All credit to the Senator…

Was listening to ESPNU yesterday afternoon. Former GT player Roddy White was discussing the “neutral site” opening games. He said that UGA in Atlanta is essentially a home game for the DAWGS vs Oregon. He went on to say that then he was playing for GT and they played UGA at home, it was essentially a home game for UGA. That’s quite telling that a GT player has now accepted that Bobby Dodd Stadium is a UGA home field advantage when playing the nerds.

Well, they are supposed to be good at math over there. If you can count, you can tell it’s a heavily UGA crowd.

The 2001 Tech game is on YouTube and it is a great one to watch. Get to see a flawed but talented team with a young Richt make O’Leary red faced before he left for Notre Dame. The amazing thing about it is the talent that Tech had compared to now. O’Leary and Gailey averaged having at least 2-3 players drafted from 2000 to 2010 but they have only had 11 drafted since, 2 of whom were punters or kickers.
If they beat Georgia this year it would have to be one of the biggest upsets in the history of college football and certainly the biggest upset suffered by Georgia in my memory.

I’m actually not joking…Georgia Tech beating Georgia in Athens this fall might be a bigger upset than Appalachian State beating Michigan in The Big House in 2007. Sure, Michigan was #5 going into the game. But they finished 9-4 ranked #23 (including getting bludgeoned at home by Oregon the week after App State). And while App State was FCS, they were at least the #1 FCS team in the nation, finished 13-2, and won the FCS national championship.

Pretty sure Richt handed Geoff Collins his bags as he walked in.
When Coach Collins explained who he was, Coach Richt apologized and waited politely until Collins eventually picked up his bags and carried them for him.

Siskey, I’ll be in Elberton for the first time in a year this Friday. Don’t go there unless I have to. I keep running into chums with bottles of rum and we wind up drinking all night.
New iPhone was easy to set up and I have the old 8 as a backup. Taking the Verizon employee out of the equation simplified things.

My game plan for this year will be when the referee signals the end of the coin flip ceremony, it will actually start the game clock which will run continuously through the half until the end of the game. That should hold UGA under 50.
