Was just looking at the schedule and the first game on Valentine’s Day will actually be a game at noon against Quinnipiac.
On the 15th they play Quinnipiac and UNC-Wilmington before closing out against UNC-Wilmington on Sunday.

And I would be fine if we never wear anything other than what we have this year. But revenue from alternative uniforms, would it be enough to matter to the bottom line as far as profit sharing?

Who are the early enrollees in this class and when do they report to campus?

Or put another way, who isn’t enrolling early? 😂

An odd offer.

Only completed 100 of 200 for 1,802 offers and 10 TDs

@Anthony Dasher, do we know that Stockton's KNEE is fine after that hit? Is there any remaining question about that?

Do the bowls give out the prizes. Seems to me the players can afford anything they want.

Is 101st in nation in passing offense.

If you think you’re going to show up in the Sugar Bowl and just run on Georgia, I believe you’d be sorely mistaken.

Don’t throw up Tech either. The Yellow Jackets were actually a top 50 passing offense this year, in addition to a very well-schemed run game.

Georgia couldn’t have gotten a better draw that the winner of ND/IU in my opinion

Bill Belichick Agrees To UNC Job On Condition He Can Live In Girlfriend’s Dorm

CHAPEL HILL, NC — The Tar Heels athletic department was on the brink of pulling off a huge coup this week, as legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick reportedly agreed to take the University of North Carolina head coaching position on the condition that he can live in his girlfriend's dorm.

The coach who led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl championships had been in discussions with UNC leadership about the possibility of taking over the school's football program, with the only remaining detail left to be ironed out having to do with whether he would be allowed to share his girlfriend's dorm room.

"We're working on accommodating Coach Belichick and the young woman we mistakenly thought was his grand-daughter," said UNC Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham. "We are more than willing to do whatever it takes to bring in such a legendary football coach. If that means granting his girlfriend a full-ride scholarship and allowing them to live together in her dorm, then so be it. We are also prepared to offer her cotton candy, roller skates, and anything else a young lady her age might want."

At publishing time, UNC officials had reportedly sweetened the deal by informing Belichick that he and his girlfriend could both eat near campus for low prices by combining her student discount with an early bird senior citizen meal.

Yes, I know this will never happen. But...

Top 4 teams in the Power 4 conferences are seeded based on conference record and have a play-in game to get to their conference championship game. The conference championship IS the CFP quarterfinal game. Does away with the committee. Good riddance.

Best part about this is ND is excluded lol. I like this because then it doesn't matter who your OOC schedule is, there is really no argument for strength of schedule because you are only competing against your conference opponents for a spot. And let's be real, if you can't finish in the top FOUR of your conference why would you deserve a chance in the CFP.

Thoughts?

Whos the little white head guy thats always with the team. He was walking with Beck in tunnel before 2nd halh

Where is the best place to order mens hoodies, sweats, or other Bulldog stuff from the SEC Championship? Thanks for any suggestions!

Obligatory earthquake, nuclear bomb, asteroid, armageddon post: Be pretty cool if the earth opened up and swallowed the stadium, both teams, and McConaughey: Be pretty cool if the earth opened up and swallowed the stadium, both teams, and McConaughey.



Loser mentality Gator:
This game is interesting, because if you lose, you're going to have to play an extra game in the CFP to get to the finals and a win guarantees you get that first round bye. If I was Kirbs or Sark, I might be thinking "what is preventing me from playing my 2nd and 3rd stringers in this game and taking the loss on purpose instead of having my 1st string play their hearts out and still lose and have to play another game in the CFP on top of it."

If either team did this, they could effectively save their best players on the roster the wear and tear that comes from playing a Texas or Georgia for the CFP. I suppose the bye in the CFP may be more valuable though, as it essentially serves as a guaranteed CFP single-elimination win. There was some talk early on about certain SEC teams wanting to finish 3rd or 4th in the league so as to avoid the SECCG on purpose.

Wishful thinking Gator: Any scenario that a 3-loss UGa team doesn’t make it in?

That stat is going upwards Gator: Uga ranked 101st in rushing yards.

Steve Perry Gator: SECCG is a virtual home game for Jawja. Remember when they cried like babies that we had an unfair advantage because the cocktail party was so close to Gainesville. LOL



Texas Gator: These damn crooked refs. Roughing my ass!!

Lone Star Gator: Here we go. Crooked as hell SEC refs gonna take care of UGa. So far every questionable call going for Kirby

Gator Horn: Terrible call for roughing the passer. Texas is going to have to win, despite the refs against them.

"Move over Gumps. We have a new SEC daddy." Gator: My bias showing but UGA commits more egregious holds every play.

May your hate continue to grow Gator: Btw, why is that bowl cut clown allowed to run that close to the field? Clearly the refs are blinded from their faces being in Kirby's ass.

Yes. Enjoy your Dec. 20th bowl game vs. Tulane Gator: Chauncey Bowens and Carson Beck are on fire. Shame we missed on them. Bowens listed as 5th RB on the DC.



Did he help his chance of winning the SEC and playing in the playoff? Gator: I don’t think Etienne helped his draft stock leaving. I don’t think he’s very good just a big last name

Had to watch a YouTube video from 16 years ago to remember what one looked like Gator: Neither of these teams look like national championship caliber teams. Just an ugly half of football by both teams.

Thank God we don't have to worry. Let's beat Tulane!!!! Gator: Vying to see which one is dismantled by the Ducks ?

Texas Minister of Longhorn Media Defense Gator: Don't you love how Kirbstreit can't bring himself to even mention the Texas drives that were stopped by holding calls? I mean even if you think the discrepancy is legit you can't even mention it? That is BS and I'd hope someone would call out that apparently the ESPN announcers feel like they can't even talk about the penalty discrepancy which has had a huge impact on this game. Like I said - legit or not (which they are not), you could talk about it from the standpoint of Texas making errors with holding or something like that. (Son, your team is not playing in this game. Calm down.)

Ashley going viral again

DAMN

I didn't know mini-skirts were still a thing.

She made them one again!

We'll never know Gator: If Stockton sucks in the second half and UGly goes down big, would Kirby hide the severity of Beck's injury out of fear they could be bumped from the playoffs?

Good prediction Gator, this did happen: Cue hole fans crying that georgia doesn't deserve to be in playoff because their qb got hurt!

Half full Gator: I'm happy to discover I have enough hate for both of these teams to enjoy any outcome.

They literally have an official hired for the telecast to explain the rules in every big game now Gator: Yeah - No one gets an explanation on the penalties from the TV crews. Surprised they even bother showing replays.

Fearful question Gator: Is the next Stetson Bennett being born ?

Sorry Gator, but it'll be okay:
Nah, I have no ill will toward Texas, we owe them in some part for our first MNC.
The mutts on the other hand, plus TE left to win championships like to see him get none.



"Can't bear to watch this again" Gator: Texas is terrible. Turned the game on at the start of the second half. WTF. I'm done. Going out for a nice dinner.

"Hope is back" Gator:
I still think we beat them and Tennessee with a healthy Lagway as our stater. We shall see next year how that all goes down.

I think 10 wins is very doable next year.

Very familiar with this offense Gator: Texas’ play calling has been somewhat Sun Belt like tonight

Said absolutely no one who knows what they're talking about Gator: If UTa wins, UGA is out of the playoffs.

"We want Stockton" Gator: Even before the pick, I was thinking: can't wait to play him next year. I disagree with Kirk, I thought I saw a handful of green-QB stuff.

"Kirby just can't coach like our Billy" Gator: It was dumb not to run it. Take FG and put it in the hand of your defense which is playing much better. A Kirby move.

Texas 19, Georgia 16

Optimistic Gator: I think Texas pulls it out.

And....Cue the music

GROSS....

SMH.

Well. S**t.

Probably the worst case scenario for us Gator fans. Scotch is on me tonight, fellas.

Etienne the hero. Sucks

To hell with Georgia.

Hate the mutts.

The butt sniffers suck!

Damn it. Did it have to be ETN?!


ETN wins it for UGA. Nice.




Truth Gator: That backup quarterback deserves major respect

Moving to Austin Gator: The SEC was the winner today. You have to score enough to take the officials out of it against certain teams.

To the victor go the spoils Gator: Now. Holly Rowe slobbering all over Georgia.




Gator who knew they were not going to be in the playoff so didn't bother to know how it all works: Question is do the Mutts get a first round bye?


Here you go, Gator: That sucked, I really hate the dawgs and for Etienne to score the winner just makes it worse, I wish nothing but failure in the play off for these mutts!



Born post Galen Hall era Gator: This is a new era. You must have the $ to buy the best players in order to win a championship.

Lesser of two evils Gator: As much as I hate Georgia, folks who don’t follow Texas’ recent history can’t understand how bad a win by them in their first year would have been for the future of the league on several fronts. So score one for the old guard, even if it was our most hated league rival.

"The king is dead. Long live the Kang" Gator: UGA is the new Bama when it comes to officiating. Way to much help from the refs.

Gator with UT fan intellect: How’d did we get blown out by TX? They were very underwhelming tonight.

"Sticks stone make break my bones, but words hurt like a B" Gator:
"Never been part of something like this...this is why you come to Georgia" -ETN
That stings. We have to make him pay next year.

Greatest Visor coach in SEC history Gator: Kirby just a dude. Wins with his back up. Our rival but the guy is a great coach!! Kids take on his personality for sure.

Hope he made it to the toilet in time Gator: Absolutely hate seeing ETN yucking it up now. {{puke}}


Commodus Gator: IMO, that was very entertaining.



Georgia game #8, Texas game #9 Gator: Gut tells me, we beat both teams if played in second half of season



Gator with good question: Didn’t we play both these teams in the second half of the season?

Candy and nuts Gator: I never pull for UGA unless them beating someone directly helps the Gators. I believe if DJ had not been hurt, we would have beaten the mutts. Kentucky and Georgia Tech should have beat them. Screw UGA.

"Remember we had to be in an alliance with Stalin to defeat Hitler" Gator:
It’s not even about that.
Texas has destabilized the last two leagues they were in out of a sense of complete superiority. Their arrogance is really hard to even describe if you haven’t followed it, especially since around 2010. The last thing the league needed was them thinking they were better than everyone else here in year 1. Additionally, the whole mystique of the league gets damaged if a first year upstart comes in and beats all of our traditional powers to a title. And between what A&M and UT are spending, we don’t need the balance of power in the league shifting even further west. It sucks that it was UGA to push them down, but it’s best for all of us that Texas lost.




"I wish Kirby were ours" Gator: Truth is he is the kind of guy kids love and if he was our guy we would live him.

"We gotta get him out of here" Gator: Smart has 3 SEC Championship titles now. He's halfway to SOS. I wish the NFL would make him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Bring back the HUAC for this Gator:
To my mind, Texas is one of the best colleges that we have added to the SEC. Missouri and Oklahoma? Hell with them.

Texas hasn't won a Natty since 2005, playing against inferior competition. Why is everyone afraid of them?

But, being Texas, they are less likely to take old school SEC crap. Like the corrupt officiating they endured today. They won't put up with that old school SEC bullcrap. Good for them. I think they will change the conference for the better.

Until now, it has only been us.

Quality University, great college town.

I'm all for them.

The hate still abides Gator:
I really want Kirby to get off the damn field during games!
Yes, that’s what I want for Christmas this year. If I don’t get that, I want Kirby to stop making those idiotic hand gestures to the refs.

Little Orphan Annie Gator:
Just can't wrap my head around Georgia and Kirby recruiting all the best talent in the country for the last many years and it being legit!
Think this is one of the reasons Saban retired. I guess Kirby learned from him and started beating him at his own game.
All conjecture but would love to know what really transpires on the recruiting trail.

It would appear we have some momentum and I believe without a huge gap in talent we compete at a much higher level than we have seen in the past 10 years.

I think we beat Georgia next year.



I mean it can be replaced. Bowls ain't that expensive Gator: I want to smash the bowl he uses to cut his hair into one million pieces.

Dawg fan probably B-listed a few moments later:
Stats aren’t always an accurate gauge. They can lie.

Smart’s on record on how much ETN’s blocking improved once he got to UGA. You guys use the blocking at UF stuff like the guy didn’t improve this year - he did.

You also omitted receiving as a RB. ETN is WAY better here:
ETN 28 - 168
MJ 13-64
Baugh 3-27

ETN’s numbers would have been even better had he not missed numerous games. Speaking of that, true freshman Nate Frazier could be included in this discussion:
Rushing - 634 yards (4.9) 8 TDs (more yrds and TDs than either of your guys)
Receiving - 10 for 68 (better than either of the Gator backs)


Hey, you’re happy with your guys and we’re happy with ours.

I’ll watch your bowl game and root for the Gators!

(Geeze, I hope that last line was just to try and prevent the blacklisting)

So basically we're not going to get Concepcion & now it looks like Singleton isn't interested in Georgia.
Wonderful start to portal season. Looks like our WR room will be even worse next season than it was this season.

I'm sure it's getting more & more difficult to convince to WRs to come here when you look at our offense & receiving numbers.

We may be scraping the bottom of the portal barrel for receivers by the time this thing is over.

but I am optimistic about the playoffs.
I think we will be more of an old school brand of football.

For starters, we have the best head coach in the country by a mile.

We have (I think), the perfect OC for GS for this stretch run.

Having this long break is just what was needed. Not only can the team get healthy, but the offense can also be tailored to fit what GS does best.

I don't think we will play any team on par with OM or Bama until maybe the Championship Game (if we get there).

If we do get that far, GS will have 2 & 1/2 "do or die" games under his belt and should have a world of confidence.

I feel with GS's skill set, our run game should be much improved by his running threat.

Should see more play-action, ball-control type of offense.

We have 2 of the best backs in the conference, that combined with GS running as well, could make us a clock eating machine.

When our defense is motivated, they are one of, if not the best in the country. Being fresh and motivated will be key to seeing them play with more speed.

FG kicking is one of the best, punting is an unknown at this point. Maybe with a more ball control type of offense, there will be less quick 3 and outs.

Last couple of points.....

Watching interviews of people that have played and or coached with GS, he must have some kind of "it" factor.
Heard one describe him not as just the QB, but a "football player that happens to play QB".

Also, there is some intangible with this team. Been watching this ballclub for 50 years. They remind me a lot of the 1978 "wonderdogs".
Watching this year's team could be beyond frustrating at times. We could look sooooo bad at times that you think there is absolutely no way we can make a run at anything. Then when the game is over, we are ahead on the scoreboard.
I think we are so battle tested, combined with the culture our head coach has preached since he arrived, they just believe somehow, someway, we will come out on top. That belief can be powerful.

These are JMO's, we could get put out in the first round, but right now I think we stand as good as or even better chance than most.

When you have Kirby at the helm, you start out ahead of other teams, and I do think this is Kirby's best coaching job of his career.

I know this won’t happen and we’ll keep rolling out the exact same dudes we have all year, but one would think Nitro and Ant are the two dudes that Gunner has been slinging to in practice all year. My (certainly wrong) hope is that the next 3 weeks give us a chance to feature them in the O. (Passing O, not jet sweeps to 5)

And before someone says “Nitro has been playing every week”, I mean targets. he had 3 targets vs Tennessee hauling in both catchable balls and looks like the only natural WR on our roster.
Thank you for attending another post about WRs.

Kirby said this is the most mentally tough team he has ever had. It seems like a lot of "experts" and fans of other teams are only capable at looking at stat sheets and don't understand the power that intangibles like the mental toughness this team has after the brutal season they played.

I work with ND, PSU, OSU, and Oregon fans. ALL of them constantly mocked Georgia's struggle against GT and Texas last Saturday, pointing at the offensive stats in the first half. They literally think Georgia SUCKS. They are incapable of appreciating a game like the SEC championship and only care about how well Beck and Stockton played or points scored. So I told the PSU and ND fans that maybe after we beat them they will understand what kind of football team Georgia has. And I told them I can promise them the number 1 team that no coach in the CFP wants to play is Georgia. Not Oregon or Texas, but the Georgia F'ing Bulldogs.

enjoy

Maybe Germans I don’t know. But still pretty damn cool.

alright alright alright

hey matt how many times did your team lose to UGA this year




those are rookie numbers...

Am I the only one worried about it? He winds the ball up seems like it takes forever to come out.

I really do not like this damn school and all their arrogant ass money etc. Texas has no damn business being in this conference I dont want them to feel welcome here, and I say I will pull against them like I do Alabama in every game they play. I hope we beat the living SH$$ out of them tomorrow.

“College basketball moved one step closer this week to an expanded NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

NCAA officials on Wednesday presented to Division I conference commissioners at least two models of an expanded field, one with an additional four teams and another with an additional eight teams, commissioners told Yahoo Sports. Officials declined to speak publicly about the models.

The models would expand the 68-team field to 72 or 76 teams, with additional at-large selections as well as at least one additional First Four site. Any expansion would begin, at earliest, in the 2025-26 season. If the men’s event expands, the women’s tournament is likely to undergo a similar expansion.

As a way to avoid eliminating any of the 28 small-conference automatic qualifiers — a time-honored and popular concept with fans — NCAA and conference leaders are targeting the addition of at-large selections as has been done in the past. The last expansion, in 2011, added four at-large teams and created the First Four in Dayton, Ohio, where two pairings of 16 seeds and two pairings of at-large selections meet in play-in games.

Any new expansion to the field is expected to result in at least one additional First Four site, perhaps in a Western time zone. But expanding the tournament — by even just four teams — is a complex issue.

Officials are planning to retain the current 64-team bracket. With play-in game winners needing a spot in that structure, space has to be made. More 10-12 seeds, originally in the 64-team bracket, could find themselves having to win play-in games on that Tuesday or Wednesday to advance to the first round on Thursday or Friday.

More tough decisions lie ahead as well. Officials need to determine if more small-conference automatic qualifiers will be relegated to play-in games — a sensitive subject for some commissioners of lower-resourced leagues.

There’s something else, too: Will the additional games generate more revenue? It remains an unanswered question. CBS and Turner are not required to increase the amount in which they pay, according to those with knowledge of the contract.

Gavitt’s modeling of a possible expanded field is one step in an approval process that could take many more months as commissioners explore altering what’s widely known as the most popular event in college athletics — and in American sports. Various groups are scheduled to examine the expansion modeling over this summer and fall, including meetings of the NCAA basketball oversight committee next week and a meeting of the NCAA basketball selection committee set for next month.

The basketball tournament is the NCAA’s largest and most vital revenue stream, keeping afloat the organization itself as well as helping subsidize hundreds of small-college athletic departments. As part of a tournament television deal with CBS and Turner running through 2032, the NCAA distributes annually around $700 million to its schools, both in base amounts and in units earned through advancing in the event.

While much of that revenue goes to the power conferences, leaders of the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Big 12 have publicly expressed a desire to expand the field of 36 at-large selections to open a pathway for more of their schools. This spring, commissioners held multiple meetings with NCAA president Charlie Baker about tournament expansion, strongly encouraging the NCAA to find a way to grow the field.

“I want to see the best teams competing for a national championship, no different than [the Big Ten and SEC] want to see in football,” Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark told Yahoo Sports in February. “I’m not sure that is currently happening.”

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips believes that a “holistic review” of the tournament is necessary, and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has suggested an expansion of the field multiple times over the past two years.

Expansion is nothing new for the event. In 1975, the tournament expanded to include 32 teams to allow a second team to represent a conference in addition to its champion. In 1979, it grew to 40 teams and then to 48 in 1980. In 1985, the tournament moved to 64 teams, and in 2001, the tournament expanded by a single team to create a play-in game before the 2011 expansion to 68.”
