Looks like College Gameday has just kind of given up on being a show about football. Between Blurbstreit’s emotional support animals and McAfeeble’s attempts to bro-code the entire show, now the guest picker doesn’t even have anything relevant to do with the host campus at all.
It’s feeling like Saturday Night Live, with a special guest host and musical guest. And like SNL, Gameday quit being entertaining long, long ago.
It’s Auburn.
Go Dawgs!

In the grand scheme of modern day college football, last weekend was just a minor setback, everything is still in front of these Dawgs, keep improving and be hitting on all cylinders by season’s end and let’s see where they go.
Go Dawgs!

Don’t know if I told this last year… We turned the TV off at halftime during last year’s UGA/Bama game and went to bed. Thoroughly disgusted, beaten, broken and unable to be trusted. Then, my buddy starts texting me…
I got out of the bed, stark-naked (not nekkid, I wasn’t up to something), ran in the living room, turned on the TV… just in time to see all the grab-assing around Ryan Williams, resulting in him scoring the winning TD. I turned it right back off and went right back to bed. Here’s to a better night tonight!
Here is Georgia Dogs dot com’s digital game day program so that you can learn the names of all the Gumps on Bama’s team, I expect all of you to have UGA’s roster committed to memory.
Oddsmakers view tonight’s game this way (lines moved a good bit this week didn’t they?):
How about it Refugees? These lines sound about right?
Well, the Dawgs face another test after successfully fending off the Vols 2 weeks ago. Need to get this Bama monkey off their backs, LFG!
This post is your open thread for comments, grab-assing and just general BS throughout the game.
Go Dawgs!
Well, we have another little stadium enhancement (gimmick?) that will be unveiled on Saturday in Athens.
Fans who attend this weekend’s game will be provided an LED bracelet that will light up at the beginning of the fourth quarter when Georgia does its tradition of ‘light up Sanford’, according to Alan Thomas, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Marketing & Revenue Strategy at UGA, who provided this info on 960 The Ref on Tuesday.
“Fireworks are ready, and we’re going to work on something else this week that will tie back into the lights when the lights go out and some music things tied to it, so it should be fun,” he said. “So get there, be very accepting of what you’re going to be handed when you walk in that door because you will be part of the show.”
Georgia first introduced their LED lights in the stadium against Notre Dame back in 2019. Fans started using their phone flashlights at the start of the fourth quarter to participate in the Georgia tradition, and now they will get to contribute in a different way this weekend.
“Part of the show”. I certainly get the lights, fireworks, piped in music are all enhancements tied to the experience, but much of that was tied to Smart’s efforts to wow recruits when they came to Athens.
If you’re going to be at the game, how do you feel about the bracelets? Is it enhancing the gameday experience, or is it just another step away from traditional football experiences?
Well, we’re due for our first test of the season. Rocky Top will be checkered, loud, and roaring for an opportunity to bring the eight game win streak to an end.
Win today – ugly or otherwise – and you’re in the drivers seat for the SEC and in good position for the CFP. Lose, and you gotta lot of work to do.
This could be the game that tells us all we need to know about the 2025 team. I can recall after the Alabama debacle last year that it looked like we’d be hard pressed to beat Texas, Ole Miss…hell anyone at that point. The team rallied and won the SEC.
My inner Munson is saying that we aren’t the same team we’ve seen in the past seven years, my faith in Kirby says we cover today and learn that this team is more than screen passes and three yard runs up the middle.
We shall see. The pundits are taking Tennessee and are down on Georgia.
Deja vu. I feel like we’ve been here before.
Have at it in the comments.
EDIT by Otis: I want to thank JP for stepping in for me today. We spent 15 hours at the ER yesterday with my son, got in at 0500 this morning. Thankfully, he has nothing seriously wrong but, the whole day and night was a fiasco. If you’re the praying type, please keep us in your prayers.
Oh! And, Go Dawgs, kick the Hillbillies ass!
Couldn’t agree more with the sentiments around the broadcast team from the Austin Peay game. I wished the Skycast version that I watched for the Clemson/LSU game had been available, but I watched the AP game on mute anyway. With a bunch of girls in the house I have little choice in the matter, so it wa what it was.
Anyway, your prayers (or nightmares) have been answered:
I’m happier because I believe I can watch it from the Skycast View, at least. If you enjoy the noise, you’ll have Rece Chris, Holly, and Kirk to prattle about during the Hillbillies tilt. Yay.
Good morning again! As previously noted, today’s game time has changed from 1530 to 1430 due to incoming weather. Plan accordingly.

Not much to say about this glorified scrimmage other than, more in-game experience for the young pups. Keep everyone healthy and get tuned up for SEC play.

Good morning again! The highly anticipated day has arrived. Your Georgia Bulldogs take on the Marshall Thundering Herd at 1530 today.
Kickoff: Saturday, August 30 – 3:30 p.m. ET
Location: Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium (93,033) | Athens, Ga. 2024
Records: Georgia (11-3, 6-2 SEC), Marshall (10-3, 7-1 SBC)
2025 Preseason Rankings: Georgia #5, Marshall NR
TV: ESPN (Mike Monaco, Kirk Morrison & Dawn Davenport)
Radio: Scott Howard (PxP), Eric Zeier (Color), DJ Shockley (sideline)
Audio Stream: georgiadogs.com
Satellite: SiriusXM (119 or 191)
All-Time Series Results: UGA 1-0
Last Meeting: UGA won 13-3 in Athens, 9/18/2004
The last season opening loss for UGA was 2013 when they fell to Cllemson 38-35, the streak of 11 consecutive season opening wins is on the line today. During Smart’s tenure, the Dawgs are 9-0 in season openers. The current benchmark for consecutive season opening wins is held by FU (#FTMF), accomplished from 1990 to 2015 for a total of 26 straight. We’re not even halfway there but, we coming!
Former Dawg coach, Jim Donnan, is also a former Marshall coach who roamed their sidelines from 1990-1995 with a record of 64-21. Which, evidently, was enough for UGA to decide that he’d have to be better than Goff!

The block G will be painted in the end zone this season. And block lettering will be used on the field. McGarity’s slop is finally being shown the door.
And, no matter what the talking shitheads want to say about us, we are the defending SEC Champions, AGAIN! Come try and take it.
This post is open for your UGA game day comments throughout the game. It’s almost time to…
Go Dawgs!
Can’t confirm, but apparently there’s a throwback awaiting all who attend on Saturday.
Rumor has it they’re going back to the block lettering on the field. Let’s see how it plays out.
