Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.

For all the chatter on here about Gunner, I’m glad for one thing: we don’t have the Manning wunderkind and Jared Curtis’s soft ass on campus in Athens.
Sources: Texas is expected to give an up-tick in first-team quarterback reps to redshirt freshman KJ Lacey Jr. this week in practice. Arch Manning still projects as the Texas starter. The uptick in Lacey’s reps is a signal that Texas could replace Manning if he continues to… pic.twitter.com/OPOQQy0dcE
Mind you, Archduke has another year. Maybe he’ll have a better year at Florida State.
Meanwhile, in Nashville:
This is from Theo Von’s Instagram page. That’s Curtis, far left, hanging out with Go Diego Go and some other nitwits of social media importance.
One thing I’ll say is that Pug’s reps on Saturday is proof that QBs can be developed at UGA. I question if Gunner was concussed and if Pugs was balling, why not leave him in. I think that’s a healthy debate to have, in other words, what an abundance of riches we may have.
Meanwhile, Arch is going from first round draft pick (I could’ve told you that was a mistake) to benched and Jared Curtis’s mom, who wanted him in Athens, has to be losing sleep seeing her son suck and blow at the same time as an Admiral.
NIL means a lot, but it doesn’t mean success. It can mean suckcess, though, and if I were Jared’s parents I’d be calling Kirby and offering a mea culpa ASAP.
As far as the Mannings, screw them and the mule they rode in on. Arch can be a flame out and I couldn’t be happier for it. At least Peyton enrolled his kid in a competitive school, unlike what Arch experienced in high school.

I found this interesting, and what’s worse, it came from Gator Analytics. With their upcoming game against Texas, they are desperate to get out of their slump and may have already shrugged their shoulders at upcoming games against two top ten teams and are eyeing the prize for a slump-busting win against their favorite slump buster…Kentucky.
Funny, Florida’s second favorite team to get them out of a slump is Tennessee. The way to read this is to understand what SEC team a fellow member team beats after a loss. For Georgia, our historical favorite team to whip up on after a loss is Mississippi State, by percentage, and Vanderbilt next. Alabama, on the rare occasion that they lose, is undefeated against Ole Miss and Kentucky. And also by the looks of it, Arkansas and Vanderbilt need to take a long, hard look in the mirror and question their existence.
Not surprisingly, if a SEC team has just lost a game, a bout with the Dawgs or Tide isn’t going to work any wonders for them.
71% of the time, an SEC team who lost their previous game can count on Vanderbilt to be their slump-busting win. Kind of surprised to see Missouri as high as they are, but it has been a relative short body of work in the SEC, too.
And how bad is the beat down? Well, they had numbers for that, too.
Georgia has cleared the Admiral by an average of two touchdowns after a loss, and the second team we have beaten after a loss by a wide margin has been Ole Miss at 11.3 average points. There was a time, not too long ago, where Ole Miss was that bad. I can remember it, and you can remember it, too.
Pity, the Gators are resorting to analytics to defend the idea that Texas is going to break it’s losing streak by hosting Florida this week, but that’s another game where the long-awaited meteor needs to just take care of things, for us. If it could take out the Yell Leaders in the blast radius, that would be appreciated, too.
Imagine you’re the mother of a quarterback, and you watch your son play his heart out a week ago against the #2 team in the country, just to have the Golden Child wussy who sat out the game be placed back in to start against Ole Miss.
Then, to make it worse, your son gets inserted into the game late, only to suffer a broken collarbone in garbage time.
Mind you, she’s talking to a clown about a clown (that’s Diego Pavia, unemployed QB phenom), but I get her point. Berlowitz was teammates with Pavia in 2023 at New Mexico State, so I’m not sure why he transferred to the same program in 2025. Weird.
I’m more thankful by the day how Kirby has approached NIL and roster management in these strange times.
Well, well, well. Reports are saying that Jared Curtis has miraculously recovered from his severe bout of wussiness he had last week, preventing him from playing against Georgia.
He’s behind us now, but I wanted to offer up a song in tribute to Jared, set to the tune of a classic ballad, which can be found here:
Here goes a JP original, enjoy:
Well I used to wake the morning, before the agent calls,
Searching for social follows, make myself some dough,
Come down to Nashville, come be the Admiral’s ho,
Cash it in, make myself money, I’m a man named Curtis Low!
Ole Jared was a bag man, with wild, lively arm
When he had a big old bag, he didn’t have a care
Used to be an ole Bulldawg, but he’d be whooped in Kirby’s knee
If you give ole Jared money, he’ll play on a shitty team
Play me a snap, Curtis Low, Curtis Low!
I got your NIL money, tune up your excuses.
People say you’re a wussy, but people are all right
Cause Curtis Low was the scaredest player, to never play the Dawgs.
Something tells me there’s no return visit for Jared. Not to be a Bulldawg, and I don’t care how much he might be worth if the idea is ever entertained again.
And has anyone really detailed just how Jared became so infirmed that he couldn’t be available for a game where he old prove his worth against his former committee destination?
Tip of the cap to Berlowitz, who I think played a great game overall, and at least had a set of balls to step in and play.
Also, Georgia gave up less than 60 yards in the second half of play yesterday. Guess Jared liked the fire, passion, and energy speech, but couldn’t handle the Fury, Upbraiding, and Cussing (FUC) that really gets teams moving when it’s absolutely necessary.
About 12:45 today our 2nd ranked Georgia Bulldogs look to move to 3-0 in the conference and continue to bolster our resume as one of the true national title contenders against Vanderbilt on Homecoming in Athens. Everyone knows the undercurrent story of the week, and Kirby and the players have downplayed that angle in public. Of course, that player is still listed as “Questionable” on yesterday’s availability report. I imagine the behind the scenes is quite different as the Dawgs prepare for the Commodores. Let’s get to the preview.
When Georgia has the ball
The Georgia offense needs to continue to build on its explosive start. Regardless of the metric used, the offense has generated more big chunk yardage plays this year compared to the last couple of years. In particular, the running game has been downright scary as Georgia has created the opportunity for long runs by Nate Frazier, Dwight Phillips, Gunner Stockton, Ryan Puglisi, Jaden Reddell and Talyn Taylor. Just missing the 20 yard cutoff is the always tough Chauncey Bowens with an 18 yarder himself. I went back and looked at Vandy’s near loss to NC State. The Pack was very solid on offense other than turnovers and generated some explosives against the Vandy defense. If the Dawgs do that and limit mistakes, the 40-point barrier should be very much in play later today.
When Vanderbilt has the ball
Will Curtis play or not? That really is the question. As mentioned earlier, the freshman QB remains listed on the availability report as questionable. I believe that means he will give it a go later today. I’m assuming the Georgia defense has been fully prepared for Curtis to play and not to be limited. I expect the Georgia defense to give a lot of looks the young signal caller has not seen and to disguise true intent. If we can get pressure, I expect Curtis to give the Georgia defense opportunities to put on the Savage Pads and change field position and game momentum. If I were Clark Lea, I would try to shorten the game with ball control especially with the short passing game knowing how difficult the Georgia defense is to run against. If the game gets out of hand, how long does Lea leave Curtis in knowing that there are winnable games for the team down the road?
What will happen
Assuming nothing absolutely weird happens today including the weather, the Dawgs should win and win by double digits. Covering a spread that has moved to 25 1/2 likely requires the Dawgs to play clean and get Vandy’s offense off the field without sucking the game clock dry.
I said in the first look post that I expect the Dawgs to cover. I see no reason to back away from that at this point. The Dawgs’ offense continues its explosive play and generates yards and points. The defense gets after Curtis from the start and introduces Curtis to life as a Commodore in the SEC.
Final score: Georgia 41, Vanderbilt 10
What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
EDIT (by Otis): This is your post for comments throughout the game today.
Shocker, sounds like Curtis is wavering on his decision to play at Georgia again.

It’s likely raining, so all he needs to do is hand off or possibly run some times, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he finds a way to duck this game the same way he ducked his commitment.
Early Saturday afternoon, the Dawgs host one of the program’s traditional Homecoming opponents between the hedges of Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium. Clark Lea has turned around the program from the disaster it had become under Derek Mason where the low point was the Commodores quitting on the pandemic season rather than taking the L that was coming to them in Athens in 2020. Go, Diego, Go Pavia is gone, and former Georgia commit Jared Curtis will get the start at quarterback. They are 3-1 against the murderers’ row schedule of Austin Peay, Delaware, NC State and Auburn. If Dave Doeren and CJ Bailey have a collective brain between them, Vandy would be 2-2 right now. Let’s get to the first look.
Series record / last meeting
Georgia leads the series 61-20-2 and is riding a 6 game winning streak in the series. In the last meeting in 2023, Georgia goes into Nashville and wins 37-20 in a game not nearly as close as the score indicates. 2nd half red zone woes turning potential touchdowns into field goals, and a near pick 6 make the score look respectable. The Dawgs generate over 550 yards of total offense while limiting Vanderbilt to 219 including a paltry 18 yards on the ground. The biggest story line of the game is the loss of Brock Bowers in the 1st half to a high ankle sprain, which limited 19’s effectiveness and availability for the remainder of the season.
Gambling degenerate facts
According to DraftKings, Georgia is -24.5 point favorite with a point total of 50.5 and are a -2800 money line favorite.
Interesting statistic: +0.55 (Vandy’s net yards per play)
Through 4 games, Vandy’s net yards per play statistic is mediocre especially considering their strength of schedule. They are averaging fewer than 4 yards per rushing attempt and 7.5 yards per passing attempt. Curtis is leading the team in rushing attempts at this point in the season … if that happens on Saturday, I’m not sure he’ll be able to finish the game. Not surprisingly, their defensive stats on a per play basis look very similar. One item of note is that NC State and Auburn both averaged over 4 yards per attempt on the ground against the Vanderbilt defense.
Early outlook
I think Kirby has had this game circled on the schedule since the schedule was announced. All indications are that Curtis burned every bridge with the Georgia coaching staff in the days leading up to his last minute flip to the hometown team especially given the Georgia staff’s assurance to his family that he was the only QB they were going to recruit actively. I’m guessing the defense has some special wrinkles in store for Curtis, and he’s going to be very sore on Sunday morning.
Vanderbilt doesn’t have the quantity and quality of athletes through the depth chart to keep up with a Georgia team that’s focused.
Georgia fans (and, especially, students), let’s show Curtis what he could have had behind him on Saturday afternoon. Let’s make Sanford a midday house of horrors and drop an anchor right the Commodore’s head. Dawgs win and cover.
What’s your thought right now for Saturday?
Given Vanderbilt’s academic reputation, what top flight academic school would you have considered going to if given the opportunity? My answer has to be Stanford. Great golf tradition, incredible school, beautiful location.
Vanderbilt has named true freshman Jared Curtis its starting quarterback for Week 3 against NC State, head coach Clark Lea announced on Tuesday. The former five-star recruit played the majority of Saturday’s win over Delaware.
Fourth-year quarterback Blaze Berlowitz beat out Curtis in the preseason, but has struggled in the Commodores’ opening games of the 2026 season. Berlowitz has thrown for 178 yards, completing 14 of 25 passes through two weeks and a rushing touchdown. Curtis is 21 of 31 for 270 yards and a touchdown, along with two rushing touchdowns.
Vanderbilt beat Austin Peay 28-9 in Week 1 and survived Delaware 35-26 in Week 2. Berlowitz started against the Blue Hens, but it was Curtis who led the Commodores to the win.
He rushed for two touchdowns and threw his first career passing touchdown. He’s the first Vanderbilt freshman to record three touchdowns since Sept. 17, 2022. Curtis finished 14 of 22 for 210 yards and a touchdown.
Can’t say I’m surprised. This felt like it was predestined, but Jared will have to eat the frog in two weeks when Vanderbilt comes to town to face the Bulldogs on Homecoming weekend. Between what should be a “first big game” against Oklahoma on the 26th and the Alabama game on October 10th, I wonder if this wont’ find itself as a trap game for us with a motivated Curtis and a Georgia team kicking off it’s toughest stretch of the season.
I trust Kirby will find the proper motivation for his defense for this game. We aren’t *checks notes* Delaware (only in their second year in CUSA after moving up from FCS in 2025), after all.
Yep, Jared Curtis is playing, and, yes, Vanderbilt was trailing Delaware at halftime. This ain’t the 2025 version of the Commodores, and that Homecoming game coming up might be a “Yar, She Blows” endeavor for Curtis and Company.
In case you decided to go for a hike yesterday and missed the slate of great games, here’s a short version of some Ho Hums and some insight into others.
The Ho Hums – They Won, As Expected
Ole Miss 41, Charlotte 9
South Carolina 45, Towson 9 – Of note, Sellers threw for under 100 yards and an INT, and Carolina had two punt returns for a touchdown.
Florida 52, Campbell 3 – Over 500 yards offense with two punt returns TDs.
Auburn 43, Southern Miss 8 – Byrum Brown had 300 total yards offense and two scores
This was a tale of two halves and Will Stein demonstrating that he’s a young coach and making some bonehead decisions. This was a competitive game, until it suddenly wasn’t. Alabama’s defense looked pretty stout.
Arkansas had a white out yesterday too. They’d prefer to white out the result. Generally looked incompetent on both sides of the ball and Kirby should appropriately get pissed at our team of Arkansas makes next Saturday even remotely close.
Missouri 38, Kansas 21
This was insane. Kansas University posted a John Brown/Bleeding Kansas edit to try to say that Missouri football represented slavery. On 9/11 too.
They proceeded to get their asses beat because they’re Kansas. Total southern victory lmfao. What were they thinking? https://t.co/r5IyYlvuMY
Nothing like using 150 year old propaganda to get Missouri pissed off. It was a tight first half with special teams miscues by Missouri, but Austin Simmons looks to be the kind of QB that can be a problem when we play them. And we know how he looked a couple of years ago as a younger version of himself. This one has me worried.
This was ugly. It’s hard to gauge Oklahoma’s defense, as Michigan is fairly putrid on offense…but not as bad as Oklahoma. Mateer looked lost and Oklahoma couldn’t generate an offensive rhythm to save their lives. We might have a tough time moving the sticks against Oklahoma, but until to see how they score more than Western Kentucky did against our ones. However, we know how we struggle with mobile QBs.
Tech got the Temu version of Mendoza, Tennessee averaged nearly 7 yards per carry, and Mark Richt Field was embarrassingly orange last night. I’m no fan of Tennessee, but if it had to happen to anyone, might as well be Tech. They are missing Buster Faulkner, big time.
