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.
This post is your open thread for comments throughout the game.
Go Dawgs!
Love the Jack Davis drawings. Still have my 1980 championship print the AJC included in the Sunday paper.
I will tell extra loud for you both.
Maybe my verb placement or syntax was off… I didn’t mean that ee was going to the game with me, my son went with me, pretty sure ee was in Athens?
It could have been my reading comprehension skills. I am hoarse today so I cheered for you.
Great graphics Otis. Good luck with your game and remember to keep everything covered you don’t want to have frozen.
Don’t hate going for it on 4th there, but don’t love the play call. They’re betting on a run, so fake the handoff.
I like the aggression.
Bobo doesn’t even use motion to get defenders possibly thinking about a possible direction other than up the middle.
Once again our DL is getting whipped. We need a MAJOR upgrade in the middle of the line.
Bobo 101. I called it after Ole Miss. Have a couple of great games to save your job and then shit the field in a big game. Buster had us all f’d up. GT knows exactly what Bobo is about to do. We’ll run it back next year with the same results.
After the OM game I said we’d finish 8-4 with losses to TN and GT.
Left upright is D player of the game so far.
Sad but true.
Well another sleepy first half so far, lets keep running it and waste the rest of the half.
We were admonished to stay positive on this game thread. So here goes…I’m positive we suck.
This game is so shitty, I’m actually looking forward to each hour-long commercial break.
59 yards of offense through 24 minutes. Against tech. Seriously?
The OC sets records.
Our offense is the least offensive thing I’ve ever seen.
Flat against in state rival. Looks like tech is the 7th ranked team the way we are playing.
I see my comments on one page load and not the next. Nerds are limiting us on our own blog.
Maybe they will run out of db’s and we might start to pass.
After watching the first half, I’m not sure we could score on air.
Hope Kirby peels the paint in the locker room at half or we will be taking first loss at home in last 30.
Fire Mike Bobo.
JFC Bobo. You got three backs. Use them outside. Get it more to the TEs like last week. Our receivers are scared…work around it. And run Carson. He needs to get into this. Damn.
GT is looking almost like Stetson and Monken. Wish Smart had a line on a OC like that.
Pray Carson Beck doesn’t come back. Or if he does Kirby tells him to find somewhere else. For that matter about half the team can go find somewhere else to play. Regardless of second half, this team fucking blows.
I’d rather see Beck come back than Bobo.
If you blame this on Bobo might I suggest you put the crack pipe down. The D can’t stop a sneeze. No one can tackle and the O line can’t block. Bobo is not the problem.
There’s plenty of blame to go around but I’m not blaming Schuman for a line that can’t block just like I don’t blame Bobo for a D that can’t tackle.
If they had scored on other drives we would be down by 35.
D just gave up more than 300 yards of offense in a half. To Georgia Tech.
Haven’t been off the field the whole first half.
Running QB who can reasonably throw is Kirby’s kryptonite. No clue how to defend.
That sums up the first half nicely.
Embarrassing.
Hope we can put something together.
Woodring with some team solidarity to wind down the half. Or is that considered complimentary football?
Looks like the D might have to score.
Can someone please tell me why we went for 2?
Good question!
Unknown, I am bamboozled as well.
No damn idea. I ran the numbers and am at a loss. Then again I am not a head coach so what do I know?
It made no sense. A TD potentially wins the game.
Good to see Kirby fucking up too. Leadership for a complete team effort. I dare anyone to tell me why we go for 2 there.
Why? Why go for 2? Why? What in the fuck is happening? What is happening?
You go for 2, call a play to throw it behind the line of scrimmage…. then get flagged for a procedure penalty. Amazing
Incredibly stupid decision to go for two. Kirby and company getting seriously out coached by Tech so far.
Who is this and what did they do with the Dawgs?
tennessee hillbillies have doned the jerseys of the Red and Black.
I guess Dan is the only one who can tackle.
This is one of the least passionate teams I’ve ever seen. All season it just hasn’t looked like they’ve cared with the possible exception of the Texas game.
Fucking Embarrassing, just letting these weak bitches just run all over them. Guess we will hear another speech on how hard it is playing at home against the ACC. Or how the crowd didn’t cheer hard enough or whatever. We sure need some coaching upgrades if this is the best we can get out of the team.
This is not getting better. It’s getting more pathetic.
Defense is getting tired. It’s fixing to get ugly for real.
We’re getting out coached and out played. Embarrassed at home.
I’ve been a Bobo fan, but oblivious he has no balls to throw it down the field and we have no fucking receivers worth a shit. Fire Bobo and hire Buster who has a clue to fuck with a defense.
Disagree. Someone has to catch a ball and #11 ain’t it.
#6 ain’t it either.
Also , Kirby, hating GT like Key hate’s Ga may come in handy, You’re getting your ass out coached.
We need 2 scores and we are running the ball. WTF!
Tech is down to its practice squad DBs and we’re throwing screens and running between the tackles.
Why does it take 30+ seconds to run a play? Can we not go any faste
Sure would like to have the 4 points we gave away for no good reason right now…
Hmm, if we score again we would win by one, if we hadn’t gone for 2 for some weird reason…
Correct me if I’m wrong. If we kick the PAT after the first TD, we’re down by 6 and can win with a TD and PAT. There’s coaching malpractice and then there’s this game. Play it in its entirety at every coaching clinic from now on. Breaking news: Goliath gives David slingshot, tells him where to aim.
Well, we’ve certainly played complimentary football tonight.
Monken’s right hand man has DBs running into each other.
We don’t deserve to play in SEC Championship or the playoffs after this shit.
Worst post 2016 defense in the Smart era
For those of you want to complain about the offense, feel free, but remember Kirby gave Monken free reign that he has given no other OC.
After national championships in 21 and 22 Kirby has a right to fix this, but burning everything to the ground, keeping a very select few, and starting over like Deion did at Colorado should be step one.
Fat, lazy and stupid is no way to play winning football son. I seriously put this all on Kirby from the start of camp until now. Nothing has been to the standard.
So the Dawgs lose at home. Totally out coached and manhandled on the line of scrimmage. If Kirby doesn’t get a new DC next year he’s an idiot. This defense is unbelievably inconsistent.
OL has been trash all year.
And even if we pull this out after the turnover we still need a new DC
And it won’t change the fact we got out played and out coached tonight. Not the first time we’ve been out coached this season either. I don’t understand it. That’s not something you can normally say about Kirby’s teams.
Supposedly Schuman is being named as a possible hc somewhere but I can’t remember where.
I hope someone offers and he takes it. I’m afraid Kirby won’t fire him.
But I’m in full grumpy, old white man mode.
North Carolina
I rarely agree with chasing point early, take the FG in the first half,go for 1 on the 1st TD. It’d be 27-24 make the FG at the half tie game. Complete fails all the way around.
Totally agree. We gave away 4 points in regulation.
Dangerous Dan!!
Game over! Dawgs win by 1! What’s that? We went for 2 for no good reason early in the 3rd quarter? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we did that, didn’t we? Yeah.
or take the FG in the first half in place of going for it on 4th down.
That call ranks right up there with the fake punt against Bama for head scratchers.
I was waiting for him to go for 2 to get the win and not get it.
With the way the defense is playing tonight, I would have been ok with it that time.
I would say the defense has been pathetic tonight, but that would actually be an improvement.
I’d take pathetic right about now.
Everette has been getting abused pretty regularly this year. It’s hard to imagine we don’t have anyone else better.
As terrible as the D has been, they had more bright spots than this offense especially in the first 45 minutes.
72-70?
We didn’t deserve that PI call, but we should’ve gotten it. Textbook PI.
Win or lose I’m ready for a change at DC.
These OT rules have to be the dumbest thing in college football!
And that’s saying a lot.
What is that like 5 drops for him today?
D wins it again Arian Smith drops it.
Nice play by Truss to keep Beck out of the endzone
Arian Smith, ladies and gentlemen.
Inadvertently tipped away by Dylan Bell.
My bad. Sorry, Arian. DGD.
Pulled that one out of our a$$.
Never in doubt.
Hope ee won’t come down too hard on me for this, but…post of the day!
Love it!!
Giant celebration after giving them 100 opportunities to win it.
UGA was out coached and out played for 45 min. Thankfully the recruiting paid off with more depth. The game should have never made it to OT and should have ended earlier.
I am happy to rip the hearts out of GT but still not happy with Smart and his staff.
It’s a win (hideously ugly but a win nevertheless), and it had to be soul crushing for GT (bonus).
“Soul crushing for GT”
The only positive from this win … and we keep the home winning streak alive.
What the hell did we just witness? Greatest underachievement or cardiac comeback? I’m glad we won and not walking back any of the criticism. Resilient? Yes. Elite? I guess we’ll see.
Whatever it was, it shouldn’t have ever come to that.
This year’s team definitely isn’t elite despite having elite talent. Elite teams are consistent. This team is a lot of things but consistent isn’t one of them.
Consistently inconsistent?
In truth GT has hope because of this
Tech outplayed and out coached us.
I also said that a few posts up.
Just a little bit of offense in the first half and this would have been over a long time ago. The D got whipped, but they were on the field for a long time and a lot of plays. We can’t score 0 points in a half and point at the D. That just my opinion. That being said, what the hell is wrong with our defense?? 🤣 Missed tackles, huge holes, wide open receivers. Someone has dropped the ball, and it’s not Smith or Lovett this time.
What happened. Did Key and Smart agree to play again this morning and Tech won and I missed it?
