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!

This post is your open thread for comments throughout today’s game.
Go Dawgs!
Serious question…does the B12 game matter? Any other year this is one of the first bowl games on an island sponsored by a company you’ve never heard of.
I think the winner is in.
Color me indifferent as to who belongs and who doesn’t, take out the 4 pm affair and these games seem more bowlish games than conference championship games, throw the 4 pm game into the mix, this smells/feels very much, like a bowlish, New Years day game…GO DAWGS!!
Isn’t the smu/clemson loser out and that keeps bama in?
That’s what some of the pundits are saying. I don’t see any scenario that keeps Bama out, just won’t believe it till I see it.
Soon, the WWL will introduce the next “Cinderella” to the college football world, by invitation only, this left for dead team is from the woods of the unknown, unexpected #12 seed will make your head blow up on Monday…”Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends”….
For s minute, I thought you wrote WWE. Did anyone see the trophy ceremony after the Big 12 game? Two professional wrestlers from WWE presented some big ass belt to the MVP.
What I’ve read is that if Clemson wins a close one, Bama gone.
Clemson blows out SMU or SMU wins, Bama in.
The ACC commish needs to call the coaches together and collude. (I never said that)
I thought I heard that if Clemson wins, both Clemson and SMU are in and Bama is out. If SMU wins, Clemson is out and Bama is in. SO, I will be cheering for Clemson today.
Tuck the Tucking Fexas McConohorns & the bull they rode in on! Please Dawgs, don’t let these interlopers win a championship in year one!
Matthew McConaughey is Texas’ Taylor Swift
Sick of seeing that silly boy every time Texas is on the field.
Still killing it in short yardage. Horse manure. We were fortunate to get the turnover. Three and out. Third down still our nemesis on D. Felt better before the game. Not going for it says Kirby is ready for a defensive battle. We will not win one of those.
Care to update your opinion? Truthfully I felt some of what you said but I did have faith. Always remember… In Kirby WE trust. Go DAWGS!
Good grief..does anyone else think the camera work is horrible?
Will Bobo have any plays drawn up that Texas has not seen on film?
They were all over the first pass to Yurosek. Oh yeah. The answer is no
Nope
Our pass D is woof! Stopping the run. Let’s aim for 1 first down this drive. Hopefully, we can have more than 0 at the half. Behind early. Slow start. What’s new. The OPI saved us from going down 7.
My growing impression is that this team plays a little…scared. More fear of making a mistake vs initiating the action. Playing safe. Takes them a half or more to start playing with aggression.
We’ve become Third and Grantham.
Not getting consistent pressure on Ewers can make for a long day.
UGA with 9 yards of offense in the 1st qtr. 0 for 2 on 3rd down
Anybody know what Monken’s buyout is?
I wonder if Bobo really even needs to be at the game. Just submit his plays in order with instructions to repeat. Now that I’ve typed this I hope to look foolish.
Well, they look better than us on everything but punting. Of course, they may not punt today, so that wouldn’t matter. Kirby has a couple of year turnaround job with this team and the same coaches will probably prevent a turnaround from ever happening. We are so stagnant and uninspiring on offense. Beck looks like he’s lost again. Etienne doesn’t have it tonight. They are better on both fronts. Pass D is more suspect than Jeffrey Dahmer. I don’t think I can watch 3 hours of this.
Going to be tough for the committee to determine who played worse…our OL or DBs.
It’s just so disappointing to watch Texas call great plays while Bobo is up in the booth with 3 crayons.
So true! Our offense looks like they were told the first half doesn’t count. No one wants it. So much talent and no fire. If I was Sark, I’d have my guys ready for the reverse on this drive. That’s all Bobo has for this.
Sark out here playing chess. Bobo’s playing chutes and ladders.
That’s funny whether you love Bobo or not.
This is a fun game. Let’s see how far we can move them back and let them get a first down.
We’re playing mostly like crap, and the only scores they have are 2 FGs by Carrot-top. Get it together boys.
Stopping 3rd & long to allow a FG when they are out of FG range and is not a stop in my book. YMMV. Is Todd Grantham one of our analysts?
Boooo
Hey 6-0 is a blessing! I’ll take it as badly as the O has played
Why the fuck are we running up the middle. There’s 9 defenders there!!!!!
Believe the last 3 1st down play calls have been Etienne between the tackles. Brilliant.
I hope Bobo’s hemorrhoids flare up so bad he has to leave the booth and let some assistant call plays.
woo hoo halfway through the 2nd qtr we have our 2nd 1st down.
Can we dial up one of those Carson Beck runs where he gets fired up and puts the team on his back?
Etienne doesn’t look right. Frazier!
Comments aren’t showing up again.
or taking muliptle page loads
Does anybody know of a way to make Jetpack auto refresh? Having to go back and reload then scroll is as annoying as our 1st down play calling.
So lesson learned. All future passes go to the TE’s
Smith still in the game is unexplainable. Tuggle and White have shown they are ready, better, and more reliable.
Sit Etienne. He’s running to protect his ribs. We don’t need that. Get Frazier, peanut and Robinson going. Send Smith on deep flag routes only. Never throw to him again. Now Bobo has chosen to abandon the WR screen…why?
At this point, I don’t see us beating any team with an average OL and great receivers. Our secondary is really bad more often than they’re really good.
Man, if our WRs could catch the damn ball, we’d have a pretty good offense. Almost like we should scheme around that deficiency.
Nah. Let’s just keep throwing to whomever has the worst case of the dropsies.
If Herbie is correct that Smith shouldn’t have jumped for the ball, a WRs coach should be teaching better technique. He has been in the program a few year and IMO has seemed to regress.
Yeah, well Colie is the receivers coach
I thought that was a good analysis. He did it at least one more time.
DBs can’t catch, either. That’s a gimme pick and maybe a pick six.
It at least changes field position and provides momentum.
Our position coaches don’t scream credibility. Coley reduced Jake Fromm’s game, imo, and I suspect has much blame for our wr position group being the worst in the country at drops. How good of a recruiter he must be to be able to ruin good talent a 2nd time. I don’t know as much about Williams but USC didn’t have a stellar secondary. I understood maybe he was good for recruiting California?
If we can keep it close and have our usual 2nd half, we might just win this thing.
1st down again between the tackles, averaging about 2 yards on 1st according to Herbie.
Well this year the Dawgs have been a second half team…(‘cept in Oxford)..
But the drops are just horrible.
0-4 on 3rd down, 2 throws with tight coverage.
Almost halftime and our WR1’s best play came on punt coverage might explain why we only have 3 points. This offense is so hard to watch sometimes….and hopefully I’ll regret and apologize for this post tomorrow. Come on Dawgs!!!
No matter the outcome, the offense should be more dynamic the entire game.
Bobo does not have the ability to scheme WRs open. Monken was a master at that and Sark is really good. Their WRs are running wide open. Ours are blanketed nearly every pass.
We still can’t catch a cold
Paint has more separation than our receivers
3rd and Grantham is alive and well
Thank the Football Gods for Thorson
That’s all
Defense is playing hard, but Sark is great at scheming his guys open. Our receivers are covered up every play. Bobo, once again has put up shit offense in the first half. No surprise there. No matter the outcome, that guy needs to go.
Offensive malpractice. I am sick of the damn defenders. Bobo should be fired at halftime! Halftime!! You can not defend our offensive offense. If you think this is going to improve next year, you are smoking C.R.A.C.K. Point to another offense with this much returning talent that could play this bad. Good freaking grief, it’s bad!
I’d be a pissed off Texas fan for Sark not going into a 2 minute offense right away. Why run at all?
Baffling. Our secondary hasn’t been good, apart from Dirty Dan. If I’m Sark, I’m airing it out w/ 2 minutes and change left before the half.
Agreed he has created space in our secondary, and our offense hasn’t moved the ball. Go for the points.
If Bobo calls a run up the middle on 1st down again I hope some fans go up to the booth and drag his ass out
How is it that everyone EXCEPT the coaches can see that Arian is a liability?
In isn’t shocking given their variety of playcalling on 1st down and their 3rd and short playcalling in this game last year.
Still say that?
Just a reminder UGA had to hire a DBs coach this season with Fran Brown leaving for the Syracuse head coaching job. The secondary has IMO declined this season in coverage and their ability to tackle in space.
Coley, Searels, and Donte Williams have been duds. Williams was Boom’s right hand man.
Get Coley and Bobo as far away from this offense as is humanly possible. Put ’em on the next rocket Elon sends into space. And if it explodes, it explodes.
We need agent Bobo to sabotage Mars U’s football program from day 1.
Williams came from U$C. You’re thinking of T. Robinson who coached with Boom.
Damn. That first half was two pigs fighting over a turnip.
Well odd plays to start and end the half
What an absolute cluster fornication of a half.
Welp, that Beck injury is the cherry on top of the biggest shit sundae in the wide world of sports.
I can see it now. Beck is done for the year, we lose, and the committee FSUs us out of the CFP.
It’s not like a backup could do worse. I mean, I hope he’s OK, but really, a pick 6 for the good guys and Gunner plodding down the field INT free for about 75 yards in the 2nd half should do it. Lol?
On the other hand we’ve only given the number 2 ranked team 6 points in a whole half.
Texas has hurt themselves with penalties. If we can find some offense in the second half we may get happier.
Really want to say something bad about Kirby right now but will just walk away instead. Carson was going to get sacked. Woodring has the leg.
Agree. Bad call on by the coaches.
Hands down the worst SEC championship I can think of. They both deserve the 13th seed in the bracket with this travesty of a game.
Sark called out the refs. Now that’s irony.
3rd down conversions 1 for 5 at the half.
I’m worried that if Beck is hurt we might resort to running into a 9 man box on every first down.
ISWYDT
You mean instead of our usual 1st down run into a stacked box?
CDawg, everything I do is intentional. Unless it’s not.
Which is also intentional.
I believe I would have tried the kick….
I think he’ll be ok.
We’ll see.
54 yards at the half. 2.4 per play. 5 first downs. Hoo boy.
Room to improve!
-2 yards rushing but only down 3!
Remember, we’re resilient. 🙄
Damn right!
Cannot image why Smith is still in the game. Killed our only drive when a pass bounces off his chest. Drops another pass that hit him in the hands on a beautiful downfield throw by Beck. If I’m Beck I’m telling Bobo he call anything he wants but I’m not throwing Arian the ball.
He’s a good gunner on punt team!
Bobo’s 1st series in the 2nd half will be; RB draw, tunnel screen, and a pass to a tight end dragging an outside LB across the middle.
I wouldn’t bet against you.
We’re in uncharted waters now.
Freeling back in at LT. Was surprised to see Greene in there earlier.
THERE WE FUCKING GO!
Herbie… much of the UGA fan base has questioned why Beck hadn’t been pulled.
Stockton providing the spark, lets keep rolling.
Them dawgs is hell don’t they?
Gunner Stockton!
Stockton! My man!! Only one drive, but I’ve got some questions.
This team is rallying behind Gunner…they love him and they’re playing lights out..nothing against Beck..the whole situation seems to have motivated them. Let’s hope it’s not short lived!
Mentally running through my playbacks of SEC championship games. Sometimes the backup can be very disruptive. GO DAWGS!
Yeah, usually AGAINST us. Maybe for once it will work in our favor.
Let’s gooooooo!! And send these cows back home!!
My wife cooked thick hamburgers just for the game tonight. I feel sure these are from the daughter of Bevo. F texas.
Got something rolling here, hopefully we can keep it up.
My mother texted me, Beck isn’t even trying to look happy for the team scoring.
Leaders pull for the team to do well.
I’d usually say whoever picked the reverse in the pool was a winner. But I’m sure we all knew it was coming.
Thorson. Fuck.
Brutal for him….and the team…..and us….Hoping for the absolute best, dude has been the damdest of good dawgs for all his time here!
Can Stockton punt too?
LOL.
YESSIR! Dude missing chip-shot FGs in a dome.
Let’s not lose 7 yards on first down this time, mmmmkay?
TAKE THE POINTS, KIRBY.
I’ve flamed Bobo but, I like that Stockton is a run threat.
Me, too, but the TX D is keying on that, so Bobo has to figure out how to disguise the designed QB runs.
Agreed or use it to tie up a defender in a spy role creating more chances in other place.
4:50 off the clock and points, I’ll take it.
Well. Stockton threw one high pass and now Kirby won’t let him throw. He’s getting happy in the pants about a 1 point win.
They’re not going to let him make a mistake with 3 guaranteed points. I’m fine with that.
Though a jet sweep here and there might be nice.
Three straight runs up the middle for zero yards. Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is the definition of stupidity. WTF Bobo?
Sometimes I think Bobo calls plays with no regard for the defense or defensive scheme. He just says this sounds like a good play.
He lets the magic 8 ball call them.
You may rely on it.
Bobo: watch me call some dumb plays at the goal.
Sark: ha! Watch me keep running up the middle for no gain!
Is this epically great of epically bad? Asking for a friend. 😄
It’s been epically fun so far either way! Go Dawgs!
Fuck.
And Kirby learns yet again why you don’t settle. You play to win.
Bobo is gonna screw up another QB!
Jesus, he can pass quit calling QB run.
I need to go back to flaming Bobo.
Throw the effing ball down the field Bobo. Quit running up the damn middle for no yards.
3rd down tunnel screen, fake punt, go back to a 2nd down tunnel screen……
Targeting with helmet but no call of course.
Feel like we need 7 here.
He won’t let him throw. We tried the safe play and Texas lit us up. Remember the time we lost because Kirby was willing to run a fake punt but refused to give his qb a chance to win the game? Well, you will now! 🤣
Let’s go D!
2nd time Gunner missed a wide-open Delp for a TD.
That fuckhead actor for Texas said 20-16 because one team would get the FG and the other a TD. Shit….
Bobo, We need a TD
2nd and 18 up by 3 run up the gut….
You don’t need it all but you can go for more.
BS holding call there. We’ve gotten some breaks from the officials in this one, but that was a screw job.
Man, we miss McConkey across the middle.
The ONE thing we couldn’t do there.
Brutal, brutal INT.
No clue why he doesn’t throw it to Cash there. That was the play call.
In his defense, Cash was not looking back.
Posts don’t show
They’re trying to kill me…
Best comment of the day…maybe the year.
They have to have the advantage in OT. Ewers is deadly on the short to medium routes and his boys can catch. But the D has played well ..really well. My biggest concern has been our play calling in the RedZone..and that’s where OT happens.
We’ve got a chance.
We just need Old Lady Luck to smile on us here!
I actually feel pretty good about this team in overtime. If Bobo will make the calls.
Bobo blew it. All we had to do was kick 3. He had Gunner sling it. Fire his ass.
Thanks Texas! You’ve turned the SEC into the Big 10 Iowa vs Wisconsin.
Let’s Go Dawgs!!!
Honestly, that’s a W for the D.
Hey, targeting again what a surprise!
Bullshit!
Bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
That’s right Texas bitches!!
THROW SOME BOTTLES, BITCHES!
We are the Champions!!!
Wow! What a finish. Gunner is a damn good Dawg.
BALLGAME! Go back to the heart of Texas, you punks.
We smashed their faces with a hobnail boot!
HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS!! I believed in us even when we had injuries to Beck and Thorsen. Now to rest up and get healthy.
Boudin and greens for New Years!!!
My personal choice, from my late morher-in-law, is black eyed peas & mustard greens.
So NCAA, how are you feeling about penciling in Texas as SEC champions now? What a great game!!! One more nitroglycerin tablet and off to bed. HBTD!
Takes “Texas is Back” T-shirt and puts it back in the drawer for another year.
THEM DAWGS IS HELL, DON’T THEY!!!!!
Two turnips fought over the mule and we’re riding it back to Athens!
And we are…RESILIENT!
Resilient no quit unbelievable effort unforgettable finish.
Bobo is credited with a completion in the boxscore. Drew, obviously, but how cool is that? I’m happy for all of them.
Great wonderful win!
The Defense was esp. good tonight.
What a special ending with our hurt QB coming in to hand the ball off to our hurt TB for the win over the butthurt cows!
And Kirby called out Sankey for our schedule in the post game interview.
And how about our kicking game? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5C7wiR3brGU
