I’ve posted this video before of Fran Tarkenton’s debut as a member of the Georgia varsity, coming against Texas in 1958 in the only game played between the schools in Austin before this Saturday.

In his first varsity game, directing his first offensive drive as a Bulldog, Tarkenton leads Georgia on a 95-yard touchdown drive in 21 plays, or what is believed to be the most plays in a scoring drive by UGA in school history:

As the story goes, with Georgia trailing Texas, 7-0, midway through the third quarter, Tarkenton (a mere sophomore and the Bulldogs’ No. 3 quarterback who had yet to play a varsity snap) simply decided to insert himself into the game for No. 2 quarterback Tommy Lewis.

“They (the UGA coaching staff) wanted to redshirt me, and I didn’t want to,” Tarkenton said. “So, I just bolted onto the field.”

“This is where Francis Tarkenton came on, and a new and delicate air developed about the Bulldogs,” Furman Bisher of the Atlanta Journal reported. “At the five, Tarkenton made his first appearance of the evening and led his troops out of the offensive muck in which they’d been mired all evening.”

From his own 5-yard line, Tarkenton directed a 21-play, 95-yard drive lasting nearly nine minutes and culminating in a three-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Vickers. Georgia, which had totaled just two first downs to that point, gained seven first downs on the scoring drive.

As another story goes, head coach Wally Butts sent the kicking unit on the field following the touchdown to tie the game. However, the bold Tarkenton decided to go for two, and passed to Aaron Box for the subsequent two-point conversion and an 8-7 lead.

Like most Georgia games from this era, the Bulldogs ultimately fell in defeat, losing to the Longhorns, 13-8. Still, you could say a Bulldog football legend was born that evening in Austin.

Listen from 10:30 to 15:30. Rece may be a Bama guy but I love his opinion here.

If you missed it, Oregon allegedly purposefully put 12 men on the field when tOSU had the ball with 10 seconds to go. With 12 men on the field, they could better defend tOSU. In CFB, that penalty is not a dead-ball foul like it is in the NFL. You could see a scenario where a team has 40 seconds to go and the ball on their 50 yard line, needing 4-8 points to win or tie. The defending team could put 12-14 or more players on the field. The play would be run and defended 99% of the time. Each play would take about 5 seconds off the clock. 40 seconds, 5 seconds per play, 8 five-yard penalties, the game ends on the 10 yard line. Now, that's cutting it close because the game can't end on a penalty, so more likely this scenario is used like Oregon did, or if the ball is on the 20 meaning the last play would be a hail mary.

In any event, in what may be the fastest rule change in NCAA history, you can't do that any more.

Never mind. The rule has been changed:

This did not seem like the utterance of a coach who thought his team had brilliantly exploited a loophole in the rules to deprive Ohio State of precious seconds at the end of the game. And it makes me think that the Ducks were more lucky than intentional in taking a penalty that helped win that game—a penalty that has led to a hurry-up rule change in college football.

The change—excuse me, “rules interpretation”—was announced by the NCAA Wednesday:

“After the two-minute timeout in either half, if the defense commits a substitution foul and 12 or more players are on the field and participate in a down, officials will penalize the defense for the foul and, at the option of the offended team, reset the game clock back to the time displayed at the snap.

“The game clock will then restart on the next snap. If the 12th defender was attempting to exit but was still on the field at the snap and had no influence on the play, then the normal substitution penalty of 5 yards would be enforced with no clock adjustment.”

Talking this BS about it taking several days to count the votes. That means they just keep counting or producing enough votes until Kamala wins. Just like last time. We have always known who has won the election by midnight est before. This is just a new tactic that Democrats have started using to steal elections.

I know there was a thread a few days ago but I can’t find it.

It's been a good week and I hope the trend continues today!

Our daughter is still on the hunt for a house. We are supposed to look at one next Wednesday that sounds promising. Fingers crossed it works out for them. I know when the right one comes along, it will happen.

Hope everything went well yesterday @banjodawg

@GaGirl14 please tell Aunt Catherine/Katherine we all said Go Dawgs!!

@SmyrnaGaDawg continued prayers for Hazeline and her math studies

For all those making the trip to Austin... I hope you have a good time and bring us home a W!! Saw a post last night recommending a 2.5 hour pre-flight arrival time for Sunday and Monday, so plan accordingly. Sounds like it will be a mad house coming home.

Praying for all those on LDGMDNOPL
and all the GMDN gang too!

Happy Birthday/Anniversary if you're celebrating today 🎉🎉

Love you guys and gals, MEAN IT.....

Go Dawgs ❤️

I have bought tix frim a season ticket holder but he has never transferred his UF/UGA tix before. Is there a certain procedure?

There’s been a lot of discussion about the quality of offense Texas has faced (or lack thereof) and the poor QB play of their opponents (walk on and two true freshman if I remember correctly).

I’m wondering about the o-lines since Texas has gotten a lot of pressure without blitzing. I really like our chances of Carson has time back there and feels comfortable. When he gets nervous, however, I get nervous.

Would love nothing more than to see Carson have a lot of time early except perhaps being able to run the ball up the gut successfully early (that’s like 1A and 1B because both would allow Carson to settle in and if he does so . . . It’ll be fun).

Anybody know about the quality of offensive line Texas has faced so far?

Plenty of good stats to look at (some not so good for Georgia, though) as you prepare to go to, watch, listen or read about the game

I fully expect new defensive wrinkles to pressure Ewers, and obviously Jalon will be involved... but it would be great to see Mykell causing havoc off the edge. I'd also love to see the occasional corner blitz of even Malaki blitzing from the slot.

Results are back and it’s cancer.
Classified as Grade 1 with Gleason 6.. 3+3.
Appointment made for Nov 8 to discuss treatment/management options. Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers. From what I’ve seen it’s looks to been caught early but will know more at appointment.

Not the news I wanted to hear but such is life. I will continue to stay positive and Kick prostate cancer butt. #BUTGOD!

Ps. Keep those thoughts and prayers going!

Intersting that it took 6 years to get to court ...

When the lawsuit was first filed in 2017, it challenged the paperless voting machines that Georgia was using at the time. After Georgia purchased the current system in 2019, the case shifted to those voting machines, saying that they also have vulnerabilities.

In June, a nearly 2-year-old redacted report was finally made public by Totenberg, showing that Dominion voting machines had significant vulnerabilities, which led the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to issue a public advisory last year based on the findings.

The report was completed in July 2021 by University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Alex Halderman with Professor Drew Springall, of Auburn University, and focused in part on vulnerabilities they found after examining Dominion’s ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices for three months, according to the Associated Press.


The report was completed on behalf of the plaintiffs in Curling v. Raffensperger and found the Dominion machines are vulnerable to vote flipping, NBC News reported.

Halderman suggested that the machines were capable of being manipulated in mere minutes by bad actors, saying the QR codes on printed ballots could be altered and malware installed on individual machines “with only brief physical access,” according to the report. The broader voting system could be attacked if bad actors have the same access to it as certain county-level election officials, the report also concluded.

In speaking with a UT alum friend, we discussed the Bevo v. Uga moment and he mentioned the following: "Introducing red fabric to a bull is crazy."

Perhaps, for safety reasons, we will finally once again don the BLACK JERSEYS.

Discuss.

A liar’s pants don’t actually catch on fire, because I would love it if this was an actual law of the universe, say like the law of gravity. I would probably go into the britches business and make a killing.

Just a random thought. I can hear my Grandma saying, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.”

Does the whole state smell like sh't?? I'm just saying, .....

There's something 13 million cows in Texas.
3 million feral pigs
1/2 million sheep
1 million pigs (bacon)
1 million horses...
60 million chickens...

That doesn't include deer, goats, etc.....

I bet that whole stadium smells like Donut's bathroom after Mexican night...
