God I miss him here…if only he was more interested in the college game.

@Blocker57 could we get an update on this winter storm? I’ve been perusing the weather forums and it appears this thing may be dying out. Still the forecasts are predicting below freezing down here in SOWEGA but if I’m reading the AmericanWX forums correctly this thing may go completely north and we just may end up with cold rain.

Any info you could glean on this would be great!

Thank you!

Has accepted his Senior Bowl invite.

does anybody have any insight about him? been super quiet but his Dad seems to be all in with our program? No real buzz

more so this year than ever. Only road win so far is Vandy over LSU in the usual sit on your hands Maravich center environment. Makes me feel a little better about today.

I’m 77 yrs old and I’ve never seen a penalty called on a first sideline interference penalty..unbelievable that a 15 yd penalty was called without a first time warning..in a championship game after a major play to possibly set up a touchdown..are you kidding me?
I believe it was personal..how dare you get in my way?
Are you kidding me?
This needs to be investigated..period!
Hopefully, as a judgement, to “censor” him if HE’S found at fault

“I thought we were the tougher team in the second half,” Beard said. “No disrespect to Georgia, but I think we were the tougher team in the last 20 minutes of the game.”



"I believe bouncing back from the Memphis game, we really focused as a group and kind of had to refocus," Brakefield said. "We had a couple of days to prepare for Georgia. Obviously, they're a great team, so when it came down to preparation, I believe that we were prepared."



"Obviously, the SEC is games like that for the whole year," Brakefield said. "Getting back and gathering as a group and realizing what the end goal is, that's what the whole week was about, being focused and prepared."

Q. You had a long completion down to Arian Smith and got a sideline warning -- sideline interference there. The ball comes back. Walk us through what happened there. What were your thoughts?

COACH SMART: "Yeah, very unfortunate. We had -- they said a coach but I think it was a player, fromwhat I've been told -- in the white, and the white is reserved for the officials. That's a safety concern.Most of the time, they'll grant you a warning on that; but it was not a -- it was a situation where it costus 15 yards. We still had first and ten and didn't take advantage of it.But, again, I call those things undisciplined, self-imposed wounds that you lose momentum on. So, it'sjust something you can't have happen."

LSU won yesterday … by an average of 20 points.

#23 Arky lost by 24 and #12 Oklahoma lost by 28 on the road.

I think a Saturday home game in the SEC is like a Saturday night home football game, especially for the opening SEC game of the season.

Saying that, I don’t think our game Saturday is indicative of how our season will go. I think Tuesday’s game against KY will be a better statement on our season. Win that game and we are back on track. Lose … it’s an uphill battle from there. Lose it big, … and it’s” here we go again”!

He thinks we will have 24-35 in the portal plus several coaching changes. What do you think?

will the women win one SEC game this season? Getting whipped 32-15 right now, 5:57 left in 2nd. I know we start what 3 freshmen but man, so tough to watch.

I want in the worst way our men’s and women’s program to be kicking and good at the same time but that always seems like a farfetched ideal at Univ. of Ga….

Over the past few seasons, team FG percentage prior to the onset of conference play has been an incredibly accurate predictor of SEC rankings at the end of the season.

Tennessee has been the only consistent outlier, based on their defensive efficiency. With new teams and coaches throughout the league, I’m not sure how this metric will hold up moving forward. However, UGA currently sits at 5th. I can’t remember the last time the team was in the upper half at this point of the season.


They are currently 6th in team 3PT percentage, in case anyone is curious.

Kind of surprised that we haven’t seen any action at all since the loss. Is this because of the trials the Smart family are going through currently, or is it just still too early?

By my count we only have a day or two left for UGA players to enter, correct? Btw, this is curiosity, nothing more.

(Edited title for clarity)

“Kirby hired Bobo to replace Monken, and Searles to replace Matt Luke. Two of the best coaches in the country replaced by two of Kirby’s hunting pals. NIL we dont prioritize offensive players - we have 5 star defense players just rotating, and not a single player on o that will get drafted in the first 3 rounds.”

Ouch.

..when it comes to game coaching..frankly..Fox was better..know$ how to recruit however..!

uses a fullback, jet sweeps, bootlegs and misdirection. It's almost like college ball.

To fire any coordinator or position coach until after this portal window closes tbh. Now that freshman that JUST SIGNED with their school and enrolled can enter the portal you are better off just waiting out the five days and then making the moves that way you have a few months to walk the recruits at that position through the succession plan and keep them in the fold. It doesn’t any good to lose those guys (even if you think the coach that recruited them is a bum and can’t spot talent)

(I may be alluding to one coach in particular here but I trust yall to read between the lines)

Of the 97 entries into our bowl pick ‘em, no one got all three correct. It’s the first time in 50-something of these since we started in 2021 that we didn’t have a single 3-0. So, we had to go to the tie-breaker question.

Congrats to @KJBoldenFan for being our winner by getting closest on the tie-breaker question: How many passing yards will Gunner Stockton total against Notre Dame? @KJBoldenFan was just one yard off, guessing 235 passing yards, of Gunner’s actual total of 234.

Thanks for everyone playing this season. If you were a weekly winner this year, you can expect to see your free six-month extension in your account soon. See y’all in August when we do this again for the fifth year.

Buddy of mine sent me a video saying ASU is thinking about appealing the result based on the blocked field goal at the end of the half of their game against Texas.

The field goal was blocked …bounced…and then went through the uprights.

Now I haven’t been able to find anything in the rules that strictly requires the ball go through the uprights in the air per se.

So, apply the kind of statutory construction I would use as a lawyer I would take the plain meaning of the rule if applicable and conclude in favor of enforcing the rule if possible.

If you do that and all that is required is that the ball get through the uprights after it is kicked, then there’s a reasonable argument the field goal should have counted.

Let me be clear…I don’t think the game is getting overturned …I do think we will get a clarification soon.

But I am curious if there are refs or rules officials here that have knowledge of the rules better than me that can tell me if i am missing something.

I got obsessed with this since doing a cursory search and went down the rabbit hole!
