And we are starting the backup QB.

Senior citizen Vol: I used to enjoy TN football

Bright side Vol:
12 teams made the playoffs. We were one of the 12. Regardless of this s—-thy game, we made it.

True, we got it handed to us, but we were at least there. Alabama wasn’t. Ole Miss wasn’t.

We got the worst draw of any SEC team. No excuses for tonight, but it’s a lot better than Butch, Dooley, and Pruitt. Go big Orange.

Waiting for expansion Vol: We won’t see the CFP again for a while

Underestimating Vol:
It is embedded in this thread. Nearly 1/3 of the post seems to be whining about the refs.

Knoxville football terminal Vol:
No wonder we have players everyday hitting the transfer portal.

Still need more bricks Vol:
We’ve got a long way to go as far as program building goes.

Michael Corleone Vol:
I said they broke me at UGA and i would be guarded, but they found a way to re-break me.




Have Heupel, will not travel Vol: We're soft on the road. Not sure how Heupel fixes that. Coaching has sucked. We need to be better..

A Vol tradition like no other:
Same play on that PI that happened in the 2nd quarter but they definitely wasn't going to throw it on OSU

"The pain of Dooley, Butch and Cornbread was too much. I'll take the blue pill." Vol:
I said Richt light . . . Because I see CJH as winning more than not . . . 8-4 / 9-3 / 10-2 guy . . . But not an SEC title guy.

But I think he is the best coach we can get and a very good coach. In no way do I think he should be fired . . . Unless he has back to back losing seasons.

Vol attending the symphony: We didn’t belong

"Fowler acting like we're getting boatraced" Vol: I hope Fowler gets frostbite

Apollo's trainer Vol: Can we just get on the bus and go home?



Hoosier Mustang Vols: We are the same weak ass team as Indiana and SMU

Knows his kin Vol: Vol Twitter with the stupid Neyland north, plant the flag, throw the goalposts in the river... I'm more annoyed at the fans than the team. Haven't won anything in over 20 years yet no one talks more crap than we do.

Dan Mullen II Vol: I said "high class" mediocrity. Which means we'll win a lot of games. Just not a lot of games that matter. Tonight's game mattered the most and we folded like a cheap tent. It comes down to players and the reality is this staff is not consistently recruiting at an elite enough level to compete with a team like OSU.

Just like Stetson Vol: Will Howard is a punk!

Should've gotten paid for this Vol:
Embarrassing effort. We look like a FCS team they paid to come and get your whooping

Perfect fit for those Heathens

Can you imagine a player in Kirby's program standing on the sideline smoking a victory cigar after a 1st round playoff win?! 😂

These f-ing clowns at osu truly haven't won shit in their CFB career 😂😂

They can't act like they've been there before because they haven't. They're celebrating like they just won a national title. I'm embarrassed for them 😬😬😬

I had a hunch, despite Ohio State being at home and having the better roster, that Tennessee could beat them. I think Texas is soft and I don’t think Oregon hasn’t been tested sufficiently. I had a hunch Tennessee might make it to the finals but I wouldn’t have bet any money on it.

Instead, they didn’t show up in the first game. The $20 million roster won when they were embarrassed and desperate and at home. Should have seen it coming.

I’ve had an amazing percentage of correct predictions this season (I predicted our entire regular season in wins and losses….and the only game I lost money on was Auburn/Cal), but i whiffed on this one.

Why wear ugly orange and be worthless?

It ensures hyper talented rosters have a shot at winning the national championship regardless of what happens during the season.

The thought of Ohio State, Texas, or Notre Dame winning after posting a regular season that would have locked them out of a chance in every season is sickening

Honestly I hoped Tudersee would keep it respectable tonight but I knew they had no shot at winning. After watching that game tonight it showed me that they are no where Near they need to be to be a contender. Dawg brethren we are blessed and we are still alive with the least take talented team we’ve had in 6 years and yet here we are. I have been around for the Dooley, Goff, Richt and now Kirby era and if you don’t appreciate what is going on with the UGA football program the past 5 years you wouldn’t understand. I’m so proud to be a Dawg!! To hell with ND!!! It’s time to ****in EAT!!

1- Lots of talking heads continually return to the talking point that Georgia hasn't run the ball well this year. But the biggest reasons for that are that Broderick Robinson and Branson Robinson have missed almost the entire season and Etienne has been really banged up too. We've also had less serious injuries across the O-Line. On New Year's Night, all those guys will be back, healthy, rested, and ready.

2- More broadly, Georgia has physical practices and a physically demanding schedule. But history says that if you give Kirby 3-4 weeks to rest and heal his team, the Dawgs are pretty damn good. That's one reason why Kirby has lost just one bowl game in his first eight seasons and is 5-1 in playoff games.

ND wants Georgia. And they're going to get Georgia.

Inconsistency across the board. One week any given team can look like world beaters and the next week they can look totally inept. And it’s way more wide spread than any previous year.

I firmly believe it’s a direct correlation to loading the pockets of 18-21 yr old college students with mountains of cash.

I do believe that an 18-21 year old can act responsible and stay highly focused with tons of new found cash. Happens in baseball and basketball frequently. However, those guys are typically surrounded by more mature teammates that have been there.

Here, the whole mob has new found riches and very little supervision and guidance with it as a whole. It’s not hard to connect the dots on why teams across the board are looking so different week to week.

Surely they could do better? Looks like a Junior Achievement project.

Watching Heupel Presser on ESPN. My wife, who is a beautiful and psychotic Dawgs fan turns to me and said “He Looks Like A Fat Pumpkin”. Well said, my dear.

For using Hellman’s instead of Dukes. How have we gotten here???

Nm

the game to come to him..nothing forced. His last blowbye to the rack was really explosive.

What really impresses me about this team is our defense and how much pride we take in playing it. This could turn out to be our best defensive squad ever. It really tells you something when the the team is up 40-50 points and still busting tail on D.

DeShayne going. They were awful on both ends. Six turnovers is great, but with zero defensive pressure not unexpected. Shooting 63% from the line is not going to get it vs sec in all the close games. Somto has to get to 70%. Again, the best part of last night to me is how we continued to play hard D. Shows mental toughness.

Why you never know what to expect with teams. Ohio St looked like a joke against Michigan. Then tonight happens because they’re desperate and hungry.

Nobody knows truly what will happen in the quarterfinals. Each game will be who comes out fired up playing with passion. Who’s going to be the hunter.

Not sure if Ohio St will match this energy two games in a row, but when they’re fired up they’re dangerous.

I just hope we are the hunters against Notre Dame. I really am not scared of them at all. Problem is are we coming to eat or will we be timid and let Notre dame come in as the emotionally charged up team?

We have to find a way to dig deep because everybody else is locked in without a recent title.

I trust Kirby’s culture, but it’s going to be an unreal job for him to navigate the emotional gauntlet with a backup QB and being the premier program in the country. Everyone wants to beat us so bad it’s insane how possessed they become to take us out.

I have seen Luke Nickle play on TV 3 or 4 times
I have seen JuJu Lewis on TV 10 times or so and live 1 time.

Nickle is bigger, stronger, faster and has a bigger arm. (older too I suspect and that might be one of the reasons) Lewis gets the nod with touch and shorter passes.

I have not seen them throw side by side or in camps where you can really evaluate the arm strength, touch, accuracy but based on what I have seen I would take Luke Nickle. Kinda wish Ga would have taken him as our 2nd QB this year. at some point i think he starts somewhere at Miami or somewhere else.

Embarrassing.
