    FACT: In the past four recruiting cycles Cincinnati has had a TOTAL of four blue chip recruits , that's four 4-star recruits and zero 5-stars. All of the rest of their team is comprised of 3-star and below. If we lose to this team it will ONLY be because we have lost a ton of experience and leadership AND their team has retained a ton of experience-for this one game!

    If a loss does occur, which I do not believe it will, they should do a case study on this game to obtain a scientific formula for the importance of senior leadership and experience!

    Win or lose Cincinnati has no business making a claim they are even a top five team. If we were in their conference we would look like the best team to have ever played the game.

    "the Bearcats would earn immediate credibility, and with a perfect 10-0 record, the right to declare themselves uncrowned champions."

    BS Mike. Read the below post.

    There is a reason they are undefeated and ranked 8th in the nation. Their conference is not good and their talent level is not on par with top-tier teams. Period.

    Cinci's natty shirts are being printed in time for that last minute Christmas gift and the way UGA players are dropping, it may be justified.

  • Dawg365Dawg365 Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭✭ Senior

    Final thought on all this ridiculousness. If the Bearcats had to play this game with what appears to be double-digit starter/leader losses like UGA is going to have to do, they would lose 50 to 0.

    I hope we beat the sht out of this team. I am so tired of narratives being pushed by snowflakes based upon their limited wisdom and narrow-minded perspective.

    Go Dawgs!

    I hope we win by 28. Sick of this Cinderella BS. Beat the brakes off of their starters with our backups.

    Our 2's and 3's should have no difficulty beating Cincy... on paper. If we lose on the field, it'll be due to the new starters not being dialed in, and to some extent the coaching staff for not getting them there. Go Dawgs!

    This game is one of heart. Cincy has the chance to end the year on a perfect note, co-champs, just like UCF did....they are PSYCHED. They are invested, UGA...lots of opt-outs and I have heard no real zeal for this one as yet. Maybe it will come. This Cincy team is NOT Baylor. Cincy is better than Baylor. UGA better coach this one UP. Get some FIRE in the bellies of the boys. Coach Smart says he always plays to win...here is your opportunity to WIN, Coach! Do it! Anything less and Cincy ends with a perfect record and UGA has THREE losses.,,one to a Group of 5 team.

    UGA is depleting its elite defense....but we have depth! Last year same scenario. Fire up the young guns!!!! Win this game if it so winnable because we are simply a Power 5 program!!! Prove it!

    It doesn't take much to motivate young men. If they are able to move the ball on us, that will only give them more confidence. We need to not take this team lightly. I hope our kids are motivated and cram the ball down their throats.

    If we don't win the game this will all be on our coaches.

    A loss would also bring shame on the team, of course, and on all Georgia fans.

    That's taking nothing away from the 'Cats.

    The fact is we are more talented on our 3rd string than the Bearcat starters. Our coaches have to get the young players up to speed and fully invested.

    Go, Dawgs!

    "It doesn't take much to motivate young men."


    Yeh, either negatively or positively. Don't think our coaches are doing a good job on the positive side. If they put their foot down they probably will be accused of racism. No way we have more than 5-6 players getting drafted, the rest are living in La-LA Land.

    Since so many players are opting out, I'm going to opt out of the Dawgs, for this one. It sure would be fun watching the Cincy players rally around each other to defeat a juggernaut, even if it's teeth are missing. If Cincy wins, it could be a great show watching them celebrate. You know the announcers are going to root for the underdogs. Go Bearcats!

    This game is an audition for a starting spot or more playing time next year if the young guys can keep chop'n!

  • JimDawg85JimDawg85 Posts: 374 ✭✭✭ Junior

    I seem to recall Missouri thinking that our game with them this year was a “measuring stick” as well. That didn’t work out so well for Mizzou

    Also, Baylor last year thought that they were going to measure up to GA in the bowl game. Especially since we had several players missing for various reasons. Again, the Dawgs proved more than capable.

    I saw Cincinnati play Tulsa and was not that impressed. I think we will overwhelm them with our size and speed, the likes of which they never see in the AAC.

    Sad to say but I bet UGA gets beat in this game... Our offense will be hard to beat, excellent kicking game but the defense can they stop a qb that is good at throwing the ball (with potentially two starting CB's quitting) and a good running back transfer from BAMA? Kirby better have his team ready to roll or else my prediction will come true. My preseason prediction (after the quitter from Wake left) had UGA going 7-3 in the regularly season and a bowl win putting us at 8-3. With the quitters from Vandy quitting my prediction should be spot on... lets hope for 8-2 though!!!

    Piggy-backing on my prior comment, if the starters don't get the prep they need and/or leave everything they have on the field, that'll be a bad sign of things to come in the 2021 season. Conversely, if those who participate (players and staff) do so to their fullest extent, this should not be a close game, and it'll bode well for 2021. In other words, we'll see what this bowl team (i.e., next year's team) is made of. Go Dawgs!
