I will be with all of you in attendance at the Benz, in spirit. Section HD has been spruced up, the cooler is stocked with libations. Velveeta/sausage/rotel dip in the crockpot, boiled peanuts from Hardy Farms on ice. We have a small crew joining us for the game today… one of these days I’m gonna talk ole whit1356 into joining me on the dock for a game! Here’s what we’re working with today (got another TV on a rolling stand for when there are 4 important games on at once!):
What’s my prediction for the game?
What am I watching for? How will the running backs be managed and how will they respond to the turmoil currently around them? Will UGA’s defense break another Clemson QB? It’s not out of the realm of possibility.
Would you like a program for today’s game?
This post is your open thread for comments during the game.
Go Dawgs!
Otis, my man!!! The program ia a GREAT addition to the post, thanks! The header looks good too. Well done
thank you
I’m going to have a moment of silence for a few Damn Good Dawgs gone on before…
Now it’s on to wings, fries, libations, and good company as the fam is showing up for clemson sucks day.
As a Lake Denizen, Pisces, Captain and Owner of just about every type of pleasure craft ever built (55′ being the largest) AND the son of a son of a sailor? Otis’ Man Grotto kicks ass.
Go Dawgs.
And for RangerRuss: #fuckthosemotherfuckers,buddyi’llseeyouontheotherside
Got, thank you for the compliment. I’ve worked hard to put this together. Very pleased with it and love to share it with my friends.
Hope the Senator and RR enjoyed today’s game. Wish they were still here running things.
Win it for the Senator and RR, men! GATA!
Lest me forget why we are all here:
Lest we, dang auto corrupt
It’s gonna be ugly today boys.

Woodring walk off in honor of Butlers 60 yd walk off 40 years ago!!
Enjoy!
Not sure it will be that close, but I do think it will closer than people think. And Kirby will be fine with that. Tamps down on the rat poison.
Nice setup. What lake do you live on? If you don’t mind me asking.
Lake Blackshear. Worth Co. side. Come join us.
Defense looks dialed in…hope it stays like this!
Otis, sounds like you’re ready. You definitely chose the right peanuts!! Best damn peanuts known to man. Used to boil 2 bushels @ a time, special ordered a 2 burner setup. However, you gotta serve ’em hot outta South Georgia Well Water to sho nuff be doing it right!!!
HBTFD
All of y’all noticed that he just glossed over the fact that I want him to come watch games with me? We are less than a mile from each other… I’m gonna shame him into it one day…
Lot of empty seats today.
We look pretty conservative on offense so far
I feel like they are testing things out still, Clemson is being aggressive and that takes some careful work. Loosening up a little now
But the short middle of the field is open don’t know why we aren’t trying it.
I have a built in analyst in my son ( played a few years of CFB App State)
I think we are gonna be ok based on his analysis. This will be like a novacaine offense
DAMMIT BOBO!!!!
Already cussing Bobo myself. How many swing passes and throws to the sideline are going to throw? The VERY few times we’ve thrown vertically MEN ARE OPEN. Throw the damn ball VERTICALLY Bobo!
I am now in full ‘I blame Bobo’ mode. I miss Todd Monken so much.
I give credit where credit is due.
One has to hope that we’re just playing the long game and all these handoffs into a stacked box and blocking optional swing passes are setting up future plays.
Frazier looks quick. Reminds me of Swift. A threat to take it to the house.
He can see where nobody is and hits it.
Is it Australian Appreciation Day?
Coaching malpractice to end the half. And that was colossally stupid on the part of Arian Smith.
The OPI completely changed that drive. I’m assuming Smith thought Beck was going to run and then Beck throws it.
1st and 20. You’re getting the ball to start the 2nd half, and your defense is playing lights out.
Kirby made that call after the penalty. Don’t compound a mistake with a boneheaded turnover or punt with time on the clock because you threw 3 incompletions.
Not calling a timeout was just dumb. 1:50 to go and Da o is out of timeouts. Why just settle for getting the ball to start the second half in that scenario? I love Kirby but that was some Mark Richt football.
I think CKS likes his defense and kicking game and is happy to play field position football.
I’ll take a win however it comes but choosing to have a rock fight seems like playing into Dat Boy’s hands.
i hear ya, but if they can’t score on a long drive why take chances?
Now that they’re down they have to give up the run game and we can tee off on the qb. That’s where we want to be.
They seem to be doing a lot better in a must pass situation.
I love how auto-correct turned Dabo into Dat Boy. Is that a Lexicon entry?
No that was intentional. That’s how Dabo got his name. His older brother referred to him as “Dat boy” when he was little because he didn’t like him and it came out “Dabo.”
That’s fair.
Just let Nate Frazier carry the ball. Branson just looks too slow and indecisive right now.
Nothing terribly surprising there. We’re a bit constipated on offense without our best backs and no first rounders to catch the ball. Beck had some shots at more points but missed two easy ones.
Defense is solid as expected. I like our chances in a war of attrition.
Probably need to just let 22 sit. He’s clearly not back from that injury.
Have to avoid the big play/TO and get the W.
Was Aguerro hurt coming in or did he get hurt on like the first play? Lotta KJBolden.
Bolden is at safety and we’re rolling Starks down to star. Not sure why.
They said something about him but I missed it. I think he got dinged but not sure. Didn’t quite hear it.
Not impressed with refs or dinking play calls.
yup. They’re drinking
Halftime quick take- Both D’s are great, Clemson D fast everywhere. Our middle front looks better than last year. Last time I saw this game we finished the season pretty happy. Ok…cracking open 6 pack #2. Go Dawgs!
Throw to Young and the way he adjusted was beautiful.
Woop. That was an impressive drive. Beck was in the groove
what the actual fukin tech chip block was that #7 ?!
Yeah fuck Mafah for that shit.
Frazier scores and does the Sony jazz hands and the Zeus (?) bow. If that was tribute, damn, that’s beautiful.
That’s also the Gurley bow.
Humphreys is fast as hell!
You know Kirby wanted him after he outran our D last year in Nashville.
Bobo say FUCK YEA!
Dammit, Bozo!
Frog, meet boil.
Somebody had to say it, 84. It is possible CNB knows more about football than I…
CMB
This second half has been awesome. GO DAWGS!!!
You rock, Ms. Debby!
Malaki By God Starks!
Best defensive player in the country, period.
Dabo may stop by the portal on his way out of town.
He may enter the portal himself
I’m here and can tell you’re thrilled! 🤣 Kirby is MONEY to cover and taking the under. That 3 kid looking good along with a return of our Junkyard D.
I was thrilled! You felt it all the way at the Benz? nice!
To process pretty much a similar roster without having everyone available is damn impressive.
Now that’s the way to start a season! Who had it on their bingo card that we’d have touchdowns by Jones, young, London, and Frazier?
Clemson got beat by Cash, Colbie, London and Nate – which sounds like part of the Chi-O pledge class.
Or a 70’s folk rock band.
Always be Crooitin…Thats Kirby bitch slapping the Clemson Fans with Touchdowns by our Portal Players illustrating why they should fire Dabo…. just like he did with Mullet and recruiting at FU…. Dabo is officially on the hot seat…
Man, I’m pissed they got 3
It was a damn good day…….I know the Senator and RR are smiling. Halftime adjustments were elite just like Malaki
Watched in Vegas at sports book. Clemson folks got real quiet in second half.
