Tennessee Game and the Flu
I was at the game tonight. After I got home, I read that 8 starters were suffering with flu like symptoms. Is that why there were so many injuries on the field and why Jordan Davis and Devanta Watt went down a few times?

I’m not sure why these players went down on the individual plays during the game, but I haven’t seen THAT KIND of COMPLETE AND TOTAL TEAM EFFORT facing that kind of hostile environment, with that kind of a talented and unique, and very well coached, and very motivated opponent for our DAWGS in a LONG, LONG, LONG time!!! This was a complete and total GEORGIA TEAM WIN in every sense of the phrase “TEAM!!!”
T - TOGETHER
E - EVERYONE
A - ACHIEVES
M - MORE
A very hard fought, and well earned TEAM VICTORY!!!
RING THE BELL!!!
GO DAWGS!!!
We went into a hostile environment that was stirred up even more because of it being their homecoming game. Then you have several key players sick with the flu. We have been playing without some of our best offensive players all year. You also take into consideration that there is a limit on how many players can travel in a road game. I would say that we did an outstanding job of showing just how good our team is. Put us on a neutral field with all of our players healthy and we would beat them even worse. We were supposed to be 21 point favorites and we beat them by 24. Pretty good for a shorthanded team with so many sick players.
Preach on, sir, preach on !
People will notice!
Go Dawgs!
@Huckleberry Quite correct sir. I believe that the SEC travel team player limit is placed at seventy (70) players. That may have changed? But great points (all) on your post!!
GO DAWGS!!!
Unsworth, to answer your specific questions in the OP, the injuries today were a combination of:
FYI if you have the stomach flu just take oil of oregano and it will clear it right up. Don’t believe me, then suffer.
Can I have some tomato based sauce and pasta with that oregano ?
Thanks, all. It was a crazy environment. That stadium is so freaking loud and obnoxious. Every time the Vols get 5 yards the crowd erupts like they scored a touchdown, and every time anything seemingly goes against them, they boo.
I was thinking some of our d lineman had the flu symptoms like Davis and Wyatt, because the pressure didn’t seem as stout as usual.
They did a good job, though. I liked how they took control of the game, didn’t panic, and just went to work like a business meeting.
We were lucky! Gators had the FLU vs s cackalacky and lost BIG. /s! Kirby keeps Gatirs in troll mode!
Absolutely amazing how this team keeps overcoming obstacles and demolishing teams. I truly believe this team is destined to win it all, they thrive and feed off each other as good as I’ve ever seen. The offense they faced yesterday was in my opinion the best we’ve seen this year and this team even with sickness and injuries found a way to man handle them!!!! So proud of this team
This has to be the year, because this is a once in a generation defense. It's a pure joy to watch these guys fly around and make tackles, create havoc and lockdown WRs. I'll never forget this D, truly amazing.
Well if you want to keep the stomach flu ignore my advice. I used to have it every year in the fall for some reason. Haven’t had it in yrs now.
How loud was the music being blared out over the sound system when dawgs on offense? It seem to go on right up to our snap count. Can't believe sec office allows home team to get away with this. 1st time I have noticed this, may be just me.
How did you figure that out? You just take some and it’s gone? Hope Kirby knows about it that stuff tends to be highly contagious. Thankfully we could bring our intramural team next week and win.
99 should have passed on the Swedish Sushi!
