Your game day post, Marshall edition

Posted on by

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!

Here is the digital Game Program from Georgia Dogs dot com.

Odds for today’s game:

BetMGM:

  • Spread: Georgia -38.5 (-110) | Marshall +38.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 55.5 (Over -110 | Under -110)
  • Moneyline: Georgia -100000 | Marshall +2500

FanDuel:

  • Spread: Georgia -39 (-110) | Marshall +39 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 62.5 (Over -110 | Under -110)
  • Moneyline: Georgia -10000 | Marshall +2500

DraftKings:

  • Spread: Georgia -39.5 (-110) | Marshall +39.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 55 (Over -118 | Under -104)
  • Moneyline: Georgia -10000 | Marshall +2750

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.

Membership Has Its Privileges

I would like to make fun of this, but I gotta admit, I’m jealous.

That cannon shot from years ago never translated into deep revenue streams for our friends from Columbia, but if you told me I could get a set of tickets for $100 to Georgia home games? Hell, that will hardly cover one ticket if you’re hoping to head to Athens this season.

I mean, you could maybe go see three of these games, but you’ll pay more for those three games than a whole season ticket set to a Cacklacky game (I kid, sort of). Or, you could mortgage your home and try to attend the Alabama and Texas games this season.

It’s just means more, but in some places, it means the most.

Getting the Band Back Together

Posted on by

As money flows throughout the college football world and lines the pockets of coaches and players alike, all the revenue sharing isn’t necessarily making all the roses in the garden prettier.

And if we want them all to smell, look, and sound as they need to, some extra help may be needed for those Redcoat roses.

That sound of a drumline firing up Georgia football fans a couple hours before a game needs a tune-up, according to leaders of the Georgia Redcoat Marching band.

The drums used by the band are about seven years old, about three years longer than usual replacement and maintenance, said John Cypert, percussion coordinator of the UGA band.

As a former Redcoat, I get information from the organization regarding donations and I’m of the understanding that the group isn’t getting equitable financial support from the AA as they used to. If you don’t like all that piped-in music, you might consider a donation.

“Now, we need your help to raise the dollars needed for these instruments and ensure these incredible instruments find their rightful place on the field.

“Our goal: to raise $41,000 to fund 22 newly ordered drumline instruments.”

How can I donate to the UGA Redcoat Marching band?

The band’s Paypal account, Redcoat Band Alumni Association Inc., allows for one-time, monthly and yearly donations.

You know what to do, Refugees. Try to help out and spread the word…or the Redcoats won’t be coming much longer.

Did you hear about this?

“Our fans are the heartbeat of Teal Nation, and we’re always looking for ways to elevate their game day experience,” Miller said. “With the CCU Kickoff Meal Deal, we’re excited to offer free concessions this fall as a way to say thank you for the energy, passion and support they bring to Brooks Stadium every game.”
 
Ticket-purchasing patrons visiting the concession stands will be able to acquire four items per concession stand visit from a selection of hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and fountain drinks. There is no limit to the number of in-game visits, but fans must scan each trip through the line with the soon-to-be-launched Coastal Carolina Athletics App. 

Outside of a coke or a bag of peanuts, I don’t think I’ve graced the concession stands much in Sanford, ever. Most of my dining and drinking takes place outside of the stadium, if I’m being honest, or I haven’t had the patience to wait in a line for anything with a game going on.

Do you do much in-game shopping…and would a “free eats” be more of an incentive to purchase a ticket if you’d recently stopped?

By the time I got last night’s quarterfinal turned on, it was 14-0 Penn State. I spent most of yesterday afternoon/early evening preparing New Year’s Day lunch for my family and my dad. I know pork is a traditional New Year’s Day dish but, my Dad is a big fan of the beef liver that I make in the crockpot. So, the pork will have to come from the smoked neckbone and bacon that I put in the collards. Mrs. Day and I washed, stemmed and shredded collards, browned the liver and got everything together, ready and loaded into the crockpots. That all kicked on and started cooking around 4:00am this morning. A pot of Blackeyed Peas and a bowl of mashed potatoes were started at 11:00am. Plates will be served at noon. Here’s wishing all of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Here’s the college football schedule through Friday of this week:

.

We got one quarterfinal out of the way last night and three more to slog through today. I’m no prognosticator but, I see TX, OR and UGA advancing today. Here’s a quick look at the bracket and who goes where after today…

.

.

I’m pleased with UGA’s bracket, toughest game should be the last one. In advance of tonight’s game, UGA has released the hype video for the quarterfinal against the Irish, narrated by Ladd McConkey…:

If that don’t get ya going, you need to go to the doctor’s office, strip down naked and have him check you from head to toe cause something is wrong with you.

Your Gameday Post, ND & Dawgs

It’s conference championship weekend. The final pieces of the playoff puzzle should fall into place after this weekend. With the limited amount of games today, I decided to just do 1 game day post. Here’s today’s schedule:

The only 2 games of consequence, in my mind, are the SEC Championship and the ACC Championship. The World’s Smallest Outdoor Cocktail Party will probably attract more viewers than it ever has considering the playoff implications on the outcome of that game. I expect a lot of the country to tune in to that one with the sentiment primarily leaning towards Clemson’s opportunity to keep Bama out.

The SEC game, is what it is. I’ll never turn down an SEC Championship but, unfortunately, the CFP has become the be all end all of the college football season. So, a loss isn’t the end of UGA’s road but, sure will make things tougher. Let’s just whip the Horns’ ass and move ahead. You ready? Let’s get hyped!

Your game day post, to hell with tech edition

Good morning uhhhh… afternoon! First time we’ve had to do this in 30 years. I’d love to see the same 48-10 outcome! Unfortunately, I won’t be watching along with the rest of you tonight. Mine and ee’s high school alma mater (Worth County High School) won a region title this year for the first time since 1995. We’ve advance through the first two rounds and are hosting Fitzgerald tonight. We will be attending the game to cheer on our local boys and we’ll keep a watch on our phones for scoring updates. As I told a buddy this week, UGA can handle the nerds without me watching. And… if they can’t, I really don’t want to see that anyway!


So, I place the outcome of this game in your hands. I will take no responsibility or credit for this game… lol.
