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

None of the voting options really express how I feel, because they’re all “final” options.
I honestly don’t know if Georgia will win another national title or will win an SEC title this year.
I do believe, however, that we will go through the regular season undefeated and make the Playoff. What happens then is anyone’s guess.

Cotton, I had beers in a Florida beach dive with a young Sergeant that served under Mike Steele when Mike was 3rd Brigade (Rakkasans) Commander of the 101st Airborne. He said, “I’d follow Col Steele into hell wearing gasoline underwear.”
Yeah, I paid for the beers.

RangerRuss, I skated on my real job this morning to plant the salat patch. Just as I finished a rain cloud brewed up and soaked the place just right.
I’ve been fucking around out there for 45 years, that’s never happened. It may be a sign, maybe not, but I think the Dawgs take it to the house again.
Tee it up…

Uncle Got, opportune rain and beer are signs that Jesus loves you. The fact that you planted the salat patch in a timely manner and iced down and didn’t forget the beer is an indicator of proper planning preventing piss poor performance.
Diligence in every aspect of coaching as well as the ability to motivate his team to run through a brick wall is what will take Kirby and the Dawgs to the National Championship.
Again. It ain’t luck. A man makes his own luck.

Watching Perdue have no chance of killing the clock to win last night bc they can’t run the ball and threw on every down made me appreciate Kirby man ball clock draining run it down your throat 7 minute drives even more. Balance is great. But being able to run when running is what will win the game is pretty damn nice too.

I answered broken heart only because I don’t think it’s going to be any of the other options, but I don’t know if I’ll be truly broken hearted about it if we have an 11-1 regular season, get blown out by Bama in the SECCG and get a consolation prize return trip to the Orange Bowl.
Broken heart is going 9-3 and not even making the SECCG (or worse).

Looking at things that they stand today, it takes more faith to find a loss in Georgia’s schedule than to go undefeated. So, I’m predicting an undefeated 2022 regular season. I would also expect a UGA win in both rounds of the playoffs. The only reason not to predict a national championship, is an unknown such a key injuries or someone coming out of nowhere like 2019 LSU

I think we lose to someone, I just don’t know to who, mostly in a it’s really hard to go undefeated kind of way. Or to put it mathematically if we have a 90% chance to win in each individual game, over a 12 game season your chances of going undefeated are 28.2% (90% ^ 12) and your expected number of wins is 10.8 = % of game win probability added up for each game.

CharlotteDawg,I recall you predicted a Dawg loss to Clemson this time last year. Yes, you were contrite which proves you’re a stand up guy and a Damn Good Dawg. Math is hard and I try to avoid it, especially when it drags me down. I’ll deal with a loss if it happens. But I won’t plan for it. Not with THIS team.

Honestly none of the above
I’m still riding the national championship high. In the scenarios above we could have a 2018 type regular season with 1 loss and lose a heart breaker to Alabama in the seccg and not make the playoff. I’d be a little disappointed wouldn’t call it heart break.
If I was to predict most likely outcome (caveat that we haven’t seen this team play, for all we know, could see some real chinks in our armor tomorrow against Oregon) it would be make the CFP, not win it. I would be shocked if we won a national championship this year and I’m totally cool with that because repeating is really really hard.
That being said, it’s a high class problem when not making the CFP is a disappointment.

There should be another option…win the East and hope for a spot in the CFP. I do not expect to win another national title this year, and beating Bama seems like a large task at this point. Win the East and let’s see what happens in the SECCG.

It wasn’t an option but lose in the SECCG and no CFP. That wouldn’t break my heart, but I do hope for more. I have trouble seeing a path where an undefeated UGA loses in the SECCG and still is invited to the CFP. Not that UGA wouldn’t be potentially worthy, but I don’t believe the powers that be will allow it two years in a row. We’re not the darlings of the media and college football Illuminati, and I can bet the talking heads will revert to their favorite Metchie-Williams narrative to dismiss us if given the opportunity.

As a fanatical Dawg fan, I always hope we win it all. I am however realistic and know how difficult it is to win it back to back. I just want to see us win a bunch of games, dominate, and remain elite. Kirby continues to build for the long haul.
