ANALYSIS Postgame thoughts: Nobody believed in us



Nobody believed in us is real for teams, and Kirby Smart finally got to use it

Our intent was to come eat
Jalon, Damon and Daylen
Mykel and Warren
Not going to say I told you so....
Masked in the victory (offense)
The officiating
Still yet....

Imagine living through the golden age of UGA football…

they just beat the number 1 team in the country on the road like it was just another day at the office… and you spent the whole week leading up to it bitchin’ and moaning and trying to convince every reasonable Dawg fan that the sky was falling because you pissed your pants over glorified scrimmage scenarios in what was essentially “garbage time” minutes against the worst team in the conference the week before. Oh man… that would suck!!

Sorry, had to say it… some folks on this board really need to get a grip and hopefully they will take the obvious reality check to heart. This is the Dawg “vent” and should be a safe place for critical thoughts… but please let's all try to be much more reasonable, grateful and not so damn entitled in our takes moving forward!

Much love and great times ahead to all of Dawg Nation and in the words of the Head Dawg himself… “go Dawgs, go Dawgs, go Dawgs!!”

Tired of Kirby's habit of

...getting completely whipped, out schemed, whatever, for the first 30 minutes in marquee games.

Oklahoma, LSU twice, Bama twice (coulda been three times if it weren't for the blown knee, but yea we got that Ring).

It's just a defensive tendency his teams have for high profile games.

I guess it's a good problem to have given our success and the big stages we play on, but it does seem that defensively, we do get out schemed and glaringly so when it does occur.

Sitting at our tailgate last night, I heard silence from Bryant Denny when we took the lead.

And as encouraged as I was, I knew we still had to play defense.

The roars from the stadium just before the time delayed TV replay confirmed that the defense that played the first thirty was still THE issue.

A Kirby Smart defense.

Weird.

Congrats to the winner of the Georgia - Texas Pick 'Em Contest!

First of all, thanks to the right at 400 folks that entered this week's contest as underdog Georgia marched into Austin, Texas to face off against the #1 Longhorns in front of 105K bottle tossers. (Sorry for the delay but I'm still in Austin dodging water bottles & hitting BBQ joints)

Many entries agreed with the talking heads of ESPN that Kirby's troops were not ready to face Sark's undefeated "Built-for-the-SEC" powerhouse. A few even predicted the Horns to light up the DKR scoreboard for 40 points or more.

Instead, Walker, Williams and Georgia's defense ruled the night and the offense played their best game since Clemson to prevail 30-15.

There were several entries that had the Dawgs scoring in the vicinity of 31 points but there were two entries that were only a few points off the actual total.

Virtual runner up this week goes to @Moultriedog with a prediction of 31-14 Dawgs On Top, with a tie-breaker of Carson Beck passes at 25.

The winner this week was a little closer to the actual tie-breaker. Congratulations to @brianthebuilder with an uber-close 31-16 final and guessed 27 passes - 2 yards closer to Beck's actual 41 attempts. Nice job @brianthebuilder - @Radi Nabulsi will be in touch to help with your prize.

This year's Pick 'Em Winners so far:

The Case for Trump, from people that can't stand him

I think this explains a lot of thinking from perfectly rational humans, unburdened by what ha....unburdened by silly political posturing:

I can't stand Donald Trump. He is braggy, he insults people for no reason, and he is just a brutal personality. But my mind is made up. I'm voting for him and here's why:

* He puts Americans and their well-being first. Kamala will not.

* He will bring @elonmusk
into his cabinet to be the efficiency czar and get rid of waste. This alone may be the best single reason to vote for him.

* He will bring @RobertKennedyJr
into his cabinet to Make American Healthy Again. He will finally get to the bottom of why our food companies are destroying the health of our children.

* I'm sick of the way the media lies continuously about @realDonaldTrump, starting with the incessant racism claims. They are just nonsense. The latest thing I learned? He sent his plane to fly Nelson Mandela home after he was in jail with the U.S. wouldn't do it. Racist? No.

* I'm sick of the U.S. being embroiled in foreign wars. Trump will keep us out of them again. He's just crazy enough that foreign nations will stand down. They have no fear of Kamala. They will fear him.

* Trump sees this country as fundamentally good. Kamala sees it as inherently evil.

* Trump will end the nonsense of the open border which makes our country less secure, less financially stable, and brings in millions of people illegally who compete for Americans' jobs.

* This government has to print billions to care for the illegals. That makes all of our dollars less valuable and makes prices zoom upward.

* He will stockpile Bitcoin.

* He will keep men out of women's bathrooms and women's sports.

* He is a heavyweight personality and negotiator. Kamala is a phony personality and a lightweight negotiator.

* The people who want Kamala Harris to win are the most annoying people in the country. They have pushed for pronouns, masks, endless vaccines, cancel culture, riots, blatant racism towards whites, gender confusion, undermining the U.S. constitution.

* He will upset the current political system. He was nearly the victim of assassination 3x. And he keeps going. He's not the best in interviews, but he at least puts himself out there. Over and over and over. Kamala hasn't done a single press conference.

* Harris and the media trying to prop her up hid Biden's cognitive decline. They accuse @realDonaldTrump
of being a threat to democracy. Yet she was installed as the nominee with no votes. She wants to pack the Supreme Court. She wants to eliminate the filibuster. She sued @RobertKennedyJr to keep him off the ballot. And the threat to democracy is Trump? Nonsense.

* Those who support Harris look at Trump supports as vile, stupid, ignorant, and fascists. They disown family members or disinvite them from Thanksgiving dinner of they support Trump. This is disgraceful.

* Every time she talks, I try to give her a chance. But she is the most phony and condescending politician I have ever seen. Ever. I can't do it. I won't do it.

* She and those who support her are resistant to Voter ID and believe requiring an ID is racist. Her Department of Justice is suing the state of Virginia for trying to purge the voter rolls of illegals. Why would we not want 1 vote per 1 U.S. citizen? Is it more racist to believe people from the inner city are perfectly capable of securing a government issued ID? Or to believe they are incapable?

That's it. I'm done. Thanks for hearing me out.

NSIAP - Dawgs made some history last night

Login to view embedded media
Only the 5th time ever in the poll era that the AP (not BCS/CFP rankings) #1 team lost by 15 or more at home. First time since 1982.

And here’s another good one - most lopsided AP #1 home loss since 2000 was Illinois beating Ohio State in 2007 by 7. That now belongs with us.
