Needless to say, this edition of our Message Board Geniuses post was fun to write. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. Let’s get to our travels.
I usually save anything from a Georgia game to last, but I can’t do it today. We start today in Austin to see what the arrogant Texass-holes are up to. Horns Down!
Just like the Clemson game, we got after a true pocket style passer. It’s amazing how a good pass rush that gets home makes the secondary’s job a whole lot easier. Once we took away the run game, the Georgia defense showed its teeth, and that bite is a hell of lot worse than the bark (speaking of which, I hope a bunch of you who went barked at some Longhorns last night after the game). Kirby still has things to chew on his team about especially on offense the next 2 weeks to get the team ready to lay waste to the Handbags in Jacksonville. The 24 hours to celebrate are over now. Time to get to work.
Let’s move over to East Tennessee as the Tide’s season slowly falls apart like this guy at the end of the Deathly Hallows Part 2:
I could have gone on and on. As an aside, I was in the Irish pub on Saturday to watch the beginning of the game before dinner on the cruise ship I’ve been on. A group of Tennessee people were watching the 3rdSiO and celebrated. As they were leaving, one guy came up fist bumped me and said, “Please beat the hell out of Texas.”
Back to the Bammers. 2 losses and a very near miss since the game in T-town where they blew a 28-point lead. They are making our loss look worse and worse the more they play. Milroe looked awful, and every coach in America should show the 3rd TwiX to every QB about what spoiled brats the Bammer fan base is. I really didn’t think the Bama fan base would be done with DeBoer by now, but it’s clear that something is rotten in Tuscaloosa.
Given both results we’ve covered here. The Finebaum show later today should be must watch television. I think I may schedule it on my DVR now.
Let’s take a trip out to Norman to check on Texass flunky, Oklahoma.
I really am starting to wonder if the crucible that is the SEC is going to break Oklahoma’s rich football tradition. A 35-9 loss at home has to be tough to swallow … one given out by former staffer Shane Beamer and the Poultry is something totally different. I get Oklahoma has injuries and problems at QB, but how many players on the South Carolina roster held offers from Oklahoma? Not many I would wager to guess. -4 turnover margin and 1.3 yards per rushing attempt … ouch. How long does it take for Oklahoma to become the Nebraska of the SEC?
Which brings us to Bloomington, Indiana to check in on our favorite ChatGPT QB and the Huskers.
Indiana makes Nebraska look like Northwestern … on the basketball court, I can see it and move on. On the football field, it looks like a car wreck you can’t look away from. 56-7? Now we know why Dylan Raiola transferred from Arizona to Buford last year … so he could practice playing behind an offensive line that can’t protect and can’t block Indiana.
215-70 rushing yards? Tom Osborne has to be fit to be tied watching Nebraska sell its soul for Big 10 money. I guess those checks are cashing.
Speaking of watching Big 10 traditional blue blood programs get punked by programs nowhere near them, let’s move on to Urbana-Champaign to find out what’s the latest on the defending “national champions.”
The “We Are Blockbuster Video” comment made me laugh out loud. A year after a national title, the Wolverines look like they are going to spend the next 20 years wandering in the wilderness. Once again, did a single Illinois player have a committable Michigan offer? Harbaugh got out while the getting was good before the offense could make Iowa say, “Those guys suck.”
Let’s finish our trip around the message board universe to a spot so irrelevant that no one sends anything in – StinkTalk.
The losers at StinkTalk had a bad day on Saturday. Notre Dame gave them a swirlie in the men’s room at Mercedes Benz Stadium, and then they had to watch the Dawgs take care of Texas. I had to take a screen shot of this post from their Georgia game thread (what Georgia board has a Fech game thread?) in honor of our content creator in perpetuity, the good Senator.
Dawgs win, Fech loses … it’s a great weekend in America.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
Outstanding as usual EE!! Nothing better than whippin’ the #1 team (supposedly) and then mocking the hell out of them afterwards. Especially after all the dirt we had kicked on us all week by them and the ENTIRE media. FTMF
HBTFD
thank you billy for raising turd expectations in time for the cocktail party…kirby and his Dawgs have received their gator lottery tags from GA dnr and will be hunting with focused agression.
all i wanted from this year was to beat bama…but I think losing to them was the best thing that happened to this team…they seem to be more focused like a Kirby Smart team
Agree, but still drives me crazy losing to Baa all the time. Especially, THIS Bama team. They are so flawed and undisciplined.
What’s the good word?
Mediocrity.
At Tech, you can do that!
The old truth…
“What do NATS fans and Dawg fans have in common?”
“They’re all obsessed with UGA Football!”
Good stuff as usual! Thank you for the good work.
I did like this one about Indiana being ranked higher than Alabama in the AP Poll. 🙂

Told you Kirby threw the Alabama game 😜
SEC Shorts has nailed it again. https://x.com/josnead/status/1848358514910957822?s=61&t=lcBGJUUK-0xcvKPF9vpcMQ
“I’ll be your huckleberry.”
I didn’t know this and maybe it isn’t actually true, but did you know that the line is supposedly really “huckle bearer?” Supposedly a “huckle” was a term for casket back then and Doc is telling Johnny Ringo he’d be happy to help carry him to his grave or one of his pallbearers.
I always thought he was saying huckleberry too.
Great collection again, EE, This is a great feature of the new GTP. I particularly love the photo of the UT kid who realizes that everything he has been spoon fed since birth (with a silver spoon) has been a lie. Pulling for Vandy to crush their souls and drop them out of the top ten!
MBG update – The poor babies don’t like us.

Texas fans are just Bama fans with more money and a lot less winning tradition.
If you know Nebraska’s history, then you know they have been trying to get into the Big10 since is founding. Careful what you wish for right? Well, we all know what the N or their helmets’ stand for… knowledge!
Wish I was smart and could write this, but it came from the great Macondawg.
Ladies and gentledawgs, what was Steve Sarkisian thinking? (shortly after the game)
a) “Wait, did Arch have that twitch before we sent him in? Did we break him? Do Mannings come with a warranty?”
b) “It didn’t quite work, but I still think bringing in Penn Wagers as ‘‘Special Assistant to the Head Coach for unbridled mayhem and possible shenanigans’ was the right move.”
c) “Cheese Louise, it’s almost like they don’t even care how much money our boosters have.”
d) “For the love of God, will somebody make McConaughey shut up about what the Shipibo-Conibo people of Peru taught him about handling adversity?!?!?”
e) “For once I sort of wish the eyes of Texas weren’t upon us.”
