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 😬😬😬

What a start

Have given our pursuit of a portal QB a great deal of thought and find it a bit perplexing given the circumstance with Beck.

Let me caveat by saying in normal situation, I would understand going for someone in the portal. Given the situation idk that I do.

I find it hard to believe you can sell for 3 games Gunner and the team that he is the guy who can win a national championship while looking for a guy with legit starting experience to likely replace you for 2025. Come spring you’ll have 5 scholarship QBs on campus so you cant sell depth, etc. cant sell competition because the room is loaded with talent.

Could be a sign Beck will play. Could be a sign Gunner is fine being a career back up (something tells me he isnt).

Just a really odd spot to be in. My opinion is that you cant waste this run worrying about next year. Gotta win while you have a chance. Feel like pursuing a portal QB does more harm than good if Beck cant play.

Any ideas on how i can get some players to sign my little boys jersey at the game today? Probably a long shot but thought i would ask

Time to update a post I wrote in July 2022.

Ohio State vs the SEC

(Caveat: This is Ohio State’s record vs teams that were SEC members at the time they played. OSU likes to pad its record vs the SEC by including games against Missouri and others from before they joined the SEC and games against current members from before the SEC existed.)

Alabama leads OSU 4-1
Georgia leads OSU 2-0
Florida leads OSU 2-0
South Carolina leads OSU 2-0
Auburn leads OSU 1-0-1
Missouri leads OSU 1-0 (since joining the SEC)

Tennessee is now tied with OSU 1-1
LSU is tied with OSU 1-1-1

OSU leads Arkansas 1-0 (this win was later vacated)
OSU leads Kentucky 1-0 (Haven’t played since 1935. Other matchups pre-date the SEC)
OSU leads Vandy 1-0 (Haven’t played since 1933. Other matchups pre-date the SEC)

OSU hasn’t played Texas A&M since the Aggies joined the SEC
OSU has never played Ole Miss or Miss State

In total, the Ohio State Buckeyes are 6-14-2 all-time against SEC teams, one of those wins was vacated, and two more were from the 1930s.

Carter forced a fumble that was recovered by Smith

(Bud seems obsessed with Colbie Young. Arian was on the field more when Colbie was playing. Weird take by him.)


Chip Patterson: Where do you see..... now that we know the matchup.... What are going to be some of the keys to this"

Tom Fornelli: Um ...I mean it's interesting because I'm trying like in my head...... I've been trying to handicap it and it's like how much of a home field if any do you give Georgia because of the games in Atlanta.

Chip: Superdome

Tom: Oh! Oh! That's right. Wow! Okay. Never mind. So still, but then how many points do you think Carson Beck is worth because I'm trying to figure out if like Notre Dame's gonna be a six-point favorite or a five point favorite.

Bud Elliott: I think they'll be like what, two or three?

Chip: One or two, yeah.

Tom: Well then I know what side I'm gonna be taking

Bud: Yeah uh... by the way I I know Colbie Young was cleared to practice, but they said he could not play unless the charges were dismissed. As of the December 10th hearing they were not dismissed. That matters to me. We could talk Stockton to Beck is what? Probably a field goal maybe four. Probably not more than that because Beck was not playing like amazingly this year. We have to kind of assume like what's the base level of Stockton. We know Georgia has been trying to backchannel like different kids to transfer to Georgia this this year, so you kind of miss me with this we have max confidence in Gunner Stockton crap. We know......

Chip: no no no no no. I think the space between ceiling and floor is smaller with Stockton. I think the space between ceiling and floor is larger with Beck. I think Beck's ceiling is higher. I think when Beck breaks bad it's worse.

Tom: You don't think they're about the same? You don't think the floor drops with Stockton?

Bud: That pick he threw against Texas... they shouldn't be.... if Texas can follow its blockers to the end zone, Georgia can follow its way to the Citrus Bowl.

Tom: I mean, I think Georgia is gonna have to run the ball a lot and be very effective against Notre Dame to give itself a chance.... to give Stockton a chance. Can they? I mean have you seen enough from their run game this year to be that confident that they'll be able to just kind of control the game with it?

Chip: So Etienne was banged up a lot and he comes back he has a great SEC Championship Game

Bud: George's passing game is worse than Indiana's right? Stockton and no Colbie Young? All right, snap call: Indiana's receivers or Georgia's without Young. I know who I'm taking.

Tom IU's.

Bud: Yeah! Now Georgia's got a much better offensive line. They're not getting whipped like that. but I'm taking Rourke over Stockton. yeah for sure 100%

Tom: Yeah, for sure.

Chip: Yes. 100 percent.

Tom: I think people are going to be surprised. Even in our comments tonight there's a whole lot of George's going to kill him.

Bud: (reading comments)"Bud is trolling. Georgia's WRs are better. Colbie hasn't played in several games." And that's been a problem for several games. They're running out Arian Smith and pretending he can catch and Dylan Bell's a scheme it up guy. He's not a guy that goes out and wins by himself. Is Dominic Lovett gonna torch these guys? Maybe. Maybe he will. I like Dom Lovett. He didn't hit his season long prop total that's all that today.

Chip: Oscar Delp

Bud: Okay.

Tom: Oscar Delp could ball out. I mean listen. If there's one man who can save the Georgia Bulldogs, it is number four in red.

Chip: It is Oscar Delp and Cash Jones. Okay? I'm just imagining it's gonna be Tate Ratledge, Oscar Delp, Cash Jones, Gunner Stockton arm and arm. (Does Chip know about Rolo and is he trolling him here?)

Bud: FanDuel just opened it. Notre Dame one and a half. Georgia minus 18. Basically call it Notre Dame by one.

Tom: Hold on. I'll be right back. (placing his bet on Notre Dame)

Chip: Wow! Okay!

Tom: Did you not watch Stockton?

Bud: I saw him go 12 of 16. We'll ignore the fact that it was for 71 yards. I mean that would be dead last in the SEC by the way. That's 4.4 per attempt.

Tom: I'm not going to dismiss that Georgia has a chance to win because I think defensively they can limit Notre Dame's offense. I think they can keep him in the game and if you force a couple mistakes, whatever. But I don't have much faith in the Georgia offense to do a whole hell of a lot in this game.

Chip: I mean I I picked Notre Dame to beat Alabama when they introduced the bracket. I picked Georgia to beat Notre Dame. I'm I'm gonna stick with that. I think Georgia wins. I think they are not the most talented Georgia team that Kirby Smart has had. I think that they have.... I think they've met the moment in a couple spots that give me confidence that they could do it again.

Tom: Cool


Bud: If they can shut down Texas.... I guess here's the counter factor to my and Tom's love for the Irish. If they can absolutely go bully bully ball defensively against Texas the offense twice, couldn't they do that to the Irish?

Tom: yeah

Chip: yeah for sure

Bud: okay

Tom: Like I'm not completely ruling it out

Bud: Is under better? 45 and a half?

Tom: Maybe but I'm just saying as far as my power ratings are concerned I'm very quickly grabbing Notre Dame minus one and a half.

Chip: And look, I do a lot with Mike. Mike McClure, Sportsline. Mike thinks Notre Dame's going to the title game. He's like "this Notre Dame team is for real." He is a believer. I think Mike McClair is super smart and we've respectfully been on opposite sides of that one. but he's like "Yeah, Notre Dame" and he called it early. Everyone was like "you're an idiot". He was like "I promise you Notre Dame will be favored against Georgia." Sure enough, it opens up Notre Dame favored against Georgia. I don't want to make this look as though I I discount what Notre Dame has done or can do. In the same way Tom, that you're not discounting what Georgia could do. But I think I am on the other side of that. I think I've got more confidence in Georgia and maybe it is blinded by the logo on some level. But Georgia has gotten by with some easier regular season schedules than a lot of their opponents in the Southeastern Conference. They did have to play a tough schedule and they get in a horrendous spot down 28 to nothing against Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Carson Beck played terribly in that loss to Ole Miss. But they pushed around Texas twice and they stormed back against Alabama. I'm just not going to sell them down the river right away. Especially playing in New Orleans in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day at the end of that first round at the end of that quarterfinal day.

Bud: Did Riley Mills come back in?

Tom: No. He was walking on the sideline. Look, if you're an SP plus guy, cool. Go with Georgia. You can throw out my power ratings. But I will say FPI, Notre Dame is two. Sagarin, Notre Dame is one. FEI, three. Georgia's not.

Bud: And they don't change their power ratings when players are out. Nothing changed with Beck out.

Is anyone giving away or selling cheap a couple of last-minute tickets for todays MBB game? Please text 706.714.9635

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

I witnessed last evening it's evident that Heupel is clueless and there's no excuse to losing to the Vowels. His team appeared completely unprepared v OSU especially on defense. Their DB's were statues. It looked like they made no D adjustments to what osu was doing. One of the worst football performances I've seen in a loooonnnggg time. Hell, even SMU and Indy put up better efforts and they had no badness in the playoffs to begin with. Pathetic.

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

I know it must suck to be closed out of the CFP.

Clemson lost the TEAMS THAT COULD’NT BEAT GEORGIA bowl. That has got to really hurt. Lost to the team that lost to UGA TWICE!

SMU lost to PEDO U….badly, and should never be heard from again.

Miami should be big pissed. But maybe if next year conference champions won’t be given an automatic selection you’ll have a chance to back door in.

against a playoff team with a home game.

First of all they are theoretically not as good since they didn’t get a bye. But more importantly, the fans are mega fired up and loud. A game at home against a ranked team is going to cause a buzz, but make it a hyped up playoff game and the fans will be in a frenzy.

I thought the atmosphere was a huge factor in each game and the opponents looked shell shocked for the first several minutes.

So Ole Miss and Bama … maybe you should have been there, BUT you would have lost as well.

"...hate to go out that way because that's not who we are, man". - Nico

Tennessee has lost 22 straight games to top ten teams on the road.

That game was exactly what Tennessee is.

They could do no wrong. I doubt they can reproduce that game again.

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

Asking about Moore on their board. They saw it here and are asking over there

Injuries had a direct and indirect effect on him, and Freeling has played pretty well.

Don't have a preference, just wondering.

I would love to have half their WRs in the past few years…

I think Texas is soft and they benefited from a lucky draw in the SEC….i guess it’s possible our defense just happened to play our best two games against them, but I think it’s more likely that Texas is talented but has an inflated national perception.

I could be wrong because it’s not my brain telling me this, it’s just a hunch.
I think Clemson might give Texas a game more than people think.
