GOUGADAWGS

If wreckless driving which resulted in the death of two people hasn't stopped it, what makes you so sure kicking someone off the team will?

When has SC been a thorn in UGA's side? Spurrier's last UGA game was in 15 and he got boatraced in Athens. Since Spurrier's "run" vs UGA ended in 2014, SC is 1-7 vs the Dawgs. Go back and check the scores of those games to see how "thorny" SC has been to UGA.

You think Tennessee's loss to SC was unexplained? Check out Spencer Rattler's stat line. There is your explanation. The Vols made him look like Peyton Manning.

All those limitations and UGA will still win the national championship.

Hats off? Do you think he is largely responsibile for the ditch that program's been trying to climb out of since he quit?

Isn't he the guy who quit on his team mid-season?

That was my takeaway: "Georgia should win but LSU might."

The same thing did happen to UGA. In 2019 SC rolled in to Athens as near 4 TD dog. UGA lost, at home, with the best roster in team history, as a 4 td favorite. I called it then what is was, a choke. With all Tennessee had to gain, against a team as bad as SC (and if you don't think they're bad wait until you see what Clemson does to them), to look like that is a choke. Call is a "lesson learned" if you choose.

It's been a great year for Tennessee but let's be real, this was an epic choke. It's gonna take a long time to wash the stink of this.

Here we go with the Tennessee stuff again.

27 points is only a joke if you need 28.

None of that has anything to do with the fact that SC isn't very good at playing football.

SC's win against A&M was fool's gold. That was obvious to anyone who watched.

I had the misfortune to be on hand for some of Mark Richt's worst moments. The 2014 game with Florida mentioned in this article. The 2012 game at South Carolina. The 2015 Bama rain-game in Athens. The 2009 Joe Cox four-interception game vs. Kentucky. Given that I don't go to many games, this is a particularly bad run.

If UGA is a more favorable match up for Tennessee, we should all expect the Vols to hang 50 on UGA?

Saban is the best in the business. That said, I don't buy the whole if Bama's receivers had been in the game the outcome would have been different narrative. Every player Saban runs out there at WR is a 5-star. The fact that they either weren't prepared to play or choked isn't Kirby's problem. The difference between the SECCG and NC game was evident. In the first UGA couldn't get to Young. I never predicted a UGA win in the title game but I did say there was no way Young, who played out of his mind in the SECCG, would play that way twice against that UGA defense.

I don't know if UGA's national championship broke your brain. I do know that you're spending an awful lot of time here trying to convince people the championship isn't legit. Good luck with that.

He lost his job at OU while being surrounded by OU talent and playing Big 12 defenses. Hard to imagine he's going to have a ton of sucess in Columbia.

That may be true Tidefan, but I didn't see anything last night that leads me to believe the outcome of a UGA-Bama playoff game will be any different. Tip of the cap to Bama. I never thought they would carve up our defense like that.

If UGA doesn't need the win to get into the playoffs but Bama does, it's nonsensical to suggest all the pressure of on the Dawgs.

As opposed to upsetting UGA at the start of the game?

Exactly. This UGA team is different. Week to week they look like what we typically see from a Bama team - focused, not playing down to opponents. I may be a tight game for 3 quarters but in the end I see the Dawgs making it a 14 point win. Something like 27-13.

I agree Box, no blowout. That said, I think the Dawgs are focused like we typically see from Bama teams. Tide is weak on the o-line and depleted at RB. Those are very bad problems to have against the UGA team. Dawgs win this by 14.

UGA will pressure Young nonstop, from all angles. Dawgs win this by 14.

This UGA team looks like some of Saban's best Bama teams - focused and dialed in every week. This is our year.

You should be worried about the Missouri game. Appears the Gators have their hands full

The win over Florida is looking less "big" these days.

The inevitable 1980 reference followed by "if not now, when?" A recurring theme.

You don't have to go back very far for this kind of hype. Last year TN beat a dreadful SC team on a muffed punt. The following week the Vols ran for a million yards against Mizzou. That 2-0 record, prompted all the "Tennessee is back" nonsense. The only difference this year is reality will hit them in Knoxville instead of Athens.

Arkansas won the A&M game on a couple of big plays. That's what it will take Saturday. I don't see it. This one won't be as close as people want to believe. Dawgs 34 - Hogs 13.
