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.

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.

Neanderthal Horn: TEXAS FIGHT
Richard Linklater Horn: And here’s a little message from McConaughey

How would this Horn know?: 7-0 feels so good.
Everybody has a price Horn: There are a ton of Georgia fans here. Stop selling your tickets to the other side!
Black Eyed Peas Horn: Time to get this started.
Russ Wilson: 2022-2023 Horn:
Time to cook!
Horse and carrot Horn: Everything we want is right in front of us
The team message boards may change, but the posts stay the same Horn:
well the "rumor" of all black uniforms turned out to be internet noise
Texas don't do "alt uni's"
Burnt Orange baby!!!!
Anthony Dasher is a liar Horn: Sounds loud!
Old School Horn: “I’m here for the gangbang…”
Book, cover judging stuff Horn: Ewers looks so calm
A sign of things to come Horn: Decent start but the screen to Wingo on short side of field wasn’t going anywhere and stalled drive
Ted Knight Horn: Just part of the script 😁 ..adjustment big play coming later

Carson's first pick
Will Muschamp Horn: BOOM!
Sark Horn: That was a hell of a pick!
Fidel Castro Horn: KUUUUUUUUBAAAA
Fire Bobo...err Sark Horn: I know UGA D has players but the pay calling and offense look like dogshit
"We ain't played nobody, Pawl" Horn: Harder to move the ball against 5 stars than what we’ve been facing. We need some crossing routes across the middle.
"Aussie kickers are in the blue light special bin" Horn:
Not going after an experienced punter in the portal was a huge head scratcher.
A competent punter one uga inside the 10. That's not even a difficult punt.
It's not like we're poors. Hell punters would come for free.
"The real Slim Shady calling the game" Horn: GA holding all over the place. Refs just don't give a F
Carson second pick
Hell yes….!
YESSSSSS
Stockton's dad Horn: who else thinks Smart might make a QB change for the second half?
2 INT's 1 near INT
Sixth sense Horn: Well offense you're up. Not feeling good about it.
"Took the midterms. A is no longer a possibility" Horn: This is the midterm exam that will make both our O and D better. We r facing a good passing QB and an elite RB with competent receivers. And our O is facing a legit defense with players that can physically stand up to us. Good game so far.
Does not listen to McElroy podcast Horn:
Not sure why we're trying to run up the middle on Georgia.
Ewers first fumble
Ewers got smacked.
Well sh*t!!
Son. Of. A. B***h.
F**K!!!!!
Dak Prescott Horn: here we go 😒
"They eating! We taking pics with Wooderson!" Horn:
Dawgs came to play. Our OL looks like sh*t so far.
"Sark gonna win the golden raspberry for screenplay" Horn:
Sark’s script sucks tonight.
Baghdad Bob Horn:
This is a game where there is going to be big money in the passing game to the RB's.
We will be fine
Well, ESPN told them that Horn: Some of you guys must think Georgia are scrubs.
"Ewers having a hard time getting threw the Dick and Jane books, tonight" Horn: Ewers needs to be quicker in his reads. He looks like he is playing in slow motion.
Humility is eight weeks into the season Horn: 5 stars all over their team but guys here had us winning by 2 touchdowns or more and running away with it.
Sark lost his mojo Horn:
Where’s the shifts and motions all the stuff that Sark did last year to confuse people?
Texas Chainsaw Massacre Horn: Well the first quarter was a nightmare
Coach Eric Taylor Horn: Sark needs to stop being conservative with running plays on 2nd and long. Call pass plays and check down if the receivers r not open. We don't want to be 3rd and long against this defense bc they will blitz us and see if we can handle it and hurt them. This is the Sark that I do not like. Stop being conservative.
Mike Tyson plan Horn:
Texas got punched in the mouth in the 1st quarter....let's see how they respond.
A barage of anti Quinn Ewers posts:
What the F is Quinn doing?
Bring in Manning , Ewers needs to be gone next season regardless.
Arch needs a look. Quinn has not been the same since his injury
He is extremely timid to let the ball fly. Haven't seen him comfortable since Michigan tbh and they apparently suck
Ewers looks scared.
Not Miss Cleo Horn: I'm pretty sure Sark will NOT bring in Arch
Sark is Bobo with a good reputation Horn:
I'd feel better if Sark was good at adjustments. But, he's not.
(Insert whatever speeding joke you like here) Horn:
Georgia's playing at a different speed.
Tyson Fury Dawgs Horn: I didn't say that they have played elite so far this year outside of beating up Clemson. But when u fight fighters with knockout power, they will always have the ability to hurt u.
Ewers INT
Not ready for primetime Horn:
Is this a joke?
Are we watching SNL
Chernobyl Quinn Horn: Ewers melt down…
Rivals Friedman Horn:
Great recruiting weekend for Georgia
"I miss the Longhorn Network" Horn: Will the Big 12 take us back?
"We don't run the conference any more boys" Horn: This feels like the shock the world tour. I think we've been fed an unrealistic bill of goods
King of the Hill Horn:
:
Eloquent Horn: Let me take the opportunity to say, F**k!
Great recruiting weekend Horn:
Those recruits are getting a good look at Georgia now. So nice of us to set all those guys up to let Georgia showcase their school.
Fraser Crane Horn:
I honestly think Ewers has anxiety issues or something and is on meds for it.
RnB Invasion Horn: This is f**king unbearable. Listen to that Georgia crowd take over DKR
A DV question Horn:
Where the hell has this Georgia team been?
Reality sets in Horn: best team since 2005 my ass. We have a lot of talent but playing 6 terrible offenses did zero to challenge this D. People who didn’t question how bad our schedule was were kidding themselves. I didn’t expect this but any calls for 2 score wins were just dumb
It just means more Horn: Well Longhorn Nation…we are playing a real SEC team. DAMMIT!!! I so excited for this game and now we’re getting punched in the mouth and whipped silly in our own house!!! F**K!!!!
"Oh, the humanity!" Horn:
My God. Only 15 yards of offense and 2 INTs.
The Great Loozianner Hope Horn: Oh man. Arch is coming in.
Hope does not spring eternal Horn:
so far Arch is hardly doing any better.
Grandpa said what so many others said before him Horn: Like my grandpa used to say,”it ain’t far from the penthouse to the outhouse.”
Cliff's notes Horn:
This is an ass kicking.
Analytics suck Horn:
Does anyone else here HATE the ESPN Win Probability graph?
Not-so-damus Horn:
Well, Arch has a chance to play us out of this. We can't go back to Quinn.
Disney Horn: This is so wild. Just think happens if Arch pulls off the comeback? Instant legend.
Rivals 100 Horn: Sucks we are shi**ing the bed with all the elite recruits watching.
Statistician Horn:
38 yards of total offense
19 yards in penalties
3 TO’s
I'll put some second half ones up later.
