The poor pup has his own SUV, lawyer, publicist, a suite for every pre-game trip at an Athens hotel, every Nike jersey created for the team, and gets to lead a double life as a family pet and occasional figurehead in the off-season. And when it's all said and done he gets to be buried in his own familial burial plot inside Sanford. He's better treated than just about any animal in America save maybe dogs in the White House. Wtf are they on about?

The State of Alabama doesn't pay Saban millions to be fair and objective in his analysis. Who cares where he ranks his team, he's supposed to believe in them and in himself. People are trying to hype this up to be more than it is cause we're officially in 'talking season'.

Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!

I think the fact that TCU has a receiver just a couple steps behind Marvin Harrison Jr but not really a second receiver at the level of Egbuka means that Georgia can bracket over the top and spy Duggan underneath. I'm not saying UGA is gonna run away with it by any means (this is CFB where the game hinges on the motivation, attention span, and egos of college students) but I'm more confident in our chances at the start than I was against OSU.

No it isn't...

He's been so frustrating to watch. Shows flashes of great athleticism mixed with streaks of sheer stupidity and bad technique.

Yea, the top seeded team gets to pick their semifinal game location.

We all know Dr Pepper can afford to pay them both...

Could be a nice combination of going for broke with play calling and having a player in the groove. Either of those things alone can be decent without the other but combined (against an underwhelming defense no less) it can be masterful.

Let's be real, did they ever really rejoin the union?

Bro, that last clip is gold. Hahaha

Where is gwhite to tell us how their backup QB gained more yards than the SC backup QB so really Tennessee is the better team and they're just playing possum to give Milton experience for their 2023 playoff run?

It's a mean machine in Red and Black

My dude, you need to head to the Olympics cause the mental gymnastics you display here are second to none.

I think Tennessee responds well. Heupel is pretty even-headed and his guys want to play for him. Even his post-game pressers feel a far way off from Butch or Pruitt. I think the team knows a lot of their goals are still in front of them if they win out, I think they respond accordingly.

Agreed. Georgia could afford to run mostly man coverage because they had the athletes in the backfield to run with the UT receivers. It's a simple enough strategy but you've got to have some dawgs on your roster to pull it off.

Ron ron ron... at least take the d!ck outta your mouth before you talk back.

Much appreciated man, Tennessee is still a good program that's come a long way in a short time. Heupel is a good fit there.

Anybody check on gwhite? Can we send a Sheriff by to do a wellness check? He's probably knee deep in his stats trying to figure out a way that Tennessee actually won this game.

Alton Brown would have been a better choice.

I honestly think Georgia Tech would be a better fit for him to jump to the P5 ranks. Less pressure, in Atlanta where he has history, gets to play in the ACC. Just seems like it would make more sense for him than Auburn with their booster situation.

I'm not reading all that but I'm happy for you or sorry that happened.

Georgia under Kirby typically runs a 4-2-5 defense that allows him to stay in essentially a Nickel as their base defense with 4 down linemen. I think we'll see more brackets but I also thing we'll see more blitzing to try and get Hooker off his spot. Probably going to keep bringing the LBs and try to let the 5 DBs try and cover long enough for someone to get to him.

Yea, durability is not a trait you WANT to discover in your QB but it's nice to have it when you need it. Didn't realize how much I'd miss Matt Luke.

I feel like Deion would opt for the GT job over Auburn, not because of prestige but because of the pressure. Tech let Collins get 3 wins for 3 seasons in a row before canning him, Auburn boosters were ready to pitch Harsin out after one season. Both schools are in pretty fertile recruiting areas but the level of competition for Tech is a good bit lower year over year. If he wants to cut teeth in the FBS, Tech would likely be the better option to do it.

It's interesting that Luke Fickell isn't being brought up in these coaching search conversations. With what he's done at a G5 school I figured that would earn him a shot to try out at one of the big boys. Am I missing something obvious?

Amen dude. I'm tired of that whole family.

Much appreciated man. SC moved the ball much better than I expected, well played game andn they kept fighting. I think Beamer will be alright if they can recruit some O-linemen.

I don't think UGA needs the style points from the perspective of rankings, but I do think Kirby wants to showcase the passing game more this season to help with recruiting. He said as much after the Oregon game: "We want people that want to come play in this offense, and I think when you watch what they did today, if you're watching from home, you're saying, man, I'd love to play in that offense. They throw the ball around, they toss it around, 30 for 37 for how many yards?"

See I'd flip it the other way. I think if SC can score 31, they'll be in the game in the 4th quarter. Because to score 31 that'll likely include some defensive plays that give them a short field or a special teams/defensive TD. I don't see it happening, but stranger things have happened in this rivalry.
