I think they could be a team to really keep an eye on next season. They'll lose at Clemson week 2 but then they get a couple of layup games at home before a bye week and Bama at home week 7. If they pull one out of their hat that could set them up for a decent run before they finish at UGA and at LSU. I personally think they finish around 9-3 with their losses to Clemson, Bama and UGA or slipping up and beating Bama but then losing to LSU. Either way they should be a pretty fun team to watch here in the next few years.
I just spent my last 3 years in Aggie country. I know they are more excited now than anytime since Johnny left. They’re recruiting really well and jimbo is a heck of a coach.
Mond is pretty good, and jimbo can get the best out of QBs. There were drives where mond took over and was awesome, others where he looked frankly bad. They also have some size at receiver. Losing their rb but that’s a position I’m sure they’ll have some talent at next year.
Don’t think they have the depth of an elite squad yet, which matters more since we play them late. Also had some of the worst pass coverage in high level ball last year, but stopped the run tremendously well. Also Kyle field is rowdy, so getting them at home is a big plus.
I’ll have friends coming into town for the game and if we lose it’ll sting worse than losing to Florida for me personally
we won't lose at home, just saying

Its hard to say that will be a harder game then @ Auburn... We have yet to beat a west team on the road with Kirby at the helm. Just sayin.
@MeR3htid said: They're coming in fresh off of a bye ( Which I didn't know) and we're coming off of hopefully, an emotionally draining victory over Fla in the Swamp. Georgia will most likely b on upset alert that week and if they lose 1 in the regular season (because I cant c 2 losses) this could b it.
It helps if you actually look at the schedule. UGA will be coming off of the Auburn game in Auburn and Texas A&M will be coming off of the South Carolina game.

Dawgs beware. They also get a week off before us.

No they don't. They get a week off before South Carolina.
Okay sir I stand corrected and yes, looking at the schedule would b helpful but the Dawgs will b on upset alert that week regardless because A&M is a dangerous opponent that can certainly steal that game.
I stand by my prediction that Georgia will finish 11-1 with the loss likely coming in Athens vs A&M or at Auburn. I also predict a convincing victory over BAMA in the SECCG. Not a Clemson style shellacking but a thorough convincing won along the lines of 33-24. Noone will score over 24 points on this defense all year long until we meet and beat Clemson for the National Championship. Championship or Bust baby. ALL ABOARD?
There are a lot of big games in 2019. As has been pointed out ND will be a big national affair with a ton of eyeballs on Athens. However, for me the biggest game of the year is the Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville.
The Gators closed the 2018 strong with both the team and fan base is riding high. They're also closing in on a Top 10 recruiting class. Right now Kirby is living rent free in Mullen's head and I want CKS to add more couches and Barka lounge chairs to that space. To keep Georgia in the elite program conversation we've got to make it 3 in a row against Florida! A lot riding on this game, including a trip to Atlanta.
A&M has a BRUTAL schedule next year. Surely the hardest in the nation. Clemson, Bama, UGA, LSU.
For you season ticket holders I'm assuming last year was a bit of a dud.
With home games against ND, USCjr, UK, Mizzou and A&M - 2019 should be great.
Clemson, Georgia, Bama and LSU? WHEW! The NCAA should intervene on their behalf.

Agree....Simply put, A&M will be in Year-2 of the Fisher regime. All his schemes will be fully implemented with a lot of players coming back who now know the system front to back. Most SEC coaches tend to be very successful in their second year. It will be a tough out for us.
