Not to worry, Bulldog Nation! Tennessee has been hyper-hyped ever since Hendon Hooker started his one-trick-pony instant passing scheme. Once that was figured out and his toothpick legs blew out, they have maintained their media darling status. They are highly, highly overrated for this upcoming season. Milton can throw long distances but not accurately. What does this mean to one of the best secondaries in the nation? Interceptions! Granted that the Purina Nation will try to match Sanford's enthusiasm from last year, but even giving them seven to ten points for home field advantage, Georgia will win with double digits.
So our schedule this year is out of UGA's control. We can always point out that we sought the OK game but that it was taken away against our protests. Unless we suffer a Mark Richt game where the players forgot why they were even on the field to play football and lose to an inferior team. We will go into the SEC championship. Win or lose, we will be in the final CFP playoffs.
GO DAWGS!
Quiet frankly, If Tenn beats the dawgs, do we deserve an opportunity?. This years schedule will be tougher than the pundits predict. SC, Tenn, and maybe GT(yes I said Tech) may be ranked in the top 25, with Auburn and Kentucky giving is a good show during parts of the season. By the time we play Tech, the Dawgs may have had 5 or 6 opponents that were in the national conversation.
See how easy that was, giving the Dawgs a tough schedule. EXACTLY, none of us know, until the games are played!!
ATTENTION K MART SHOPPERS: ESPN is NOT a friend of UGA football or its fan base. They just fired our only proponent, David Pollack, probably because he had the fortitude to tell Nick Saban on national TV that Kirby Smart was now sitting in his throne....
I have to ask a question... Does anyone care what ESPN ANALysts think of the DAWGS? We're still the champs because to be the team you have to beat the team...
What a joke the ESPN clown show has become. And, other than when ESPN is televising games, does anyone watch their idiocy for real football, or any other sport for that matter, information and analyses.
If, if , if.... Let's see, if Tenn beats UGA giving UGA its only loss, but keeps UGA out of the SECCG, that would mean that UT has at MOST, one conference loss. It could happen, but seems unlikely. It could cost the DAWGS a playoff spot if it happens, but maybe not. If it does, is that really "BIG TROUBLE" going 11-1, and likely winning a post-season game? Tenn plays 6 SEC teams before playing UGA., including Bama and ATM, so the issue of SECE champ has a good chance to have been decided BEFORE Nov 18. I want to see 3-in-a-row as much as anyone, but I wouldn't characterize a 12-1 season with a top 5 ranking in the final poll "big trouble."
When I saw the name Dinich attached to the article, I knew it was more "expert" opinion from the ESPN CLOWN show. Hard to be an expert on something you've never participated in, and have only watched as a fan 🙄
Dinich is a female.. So, to me, it's hard to be an "expert" on something youve only watched as a fan. Shes never played 1 down in a competitive football game in her life, what a joke. Closest she's came is a backyard, after Thanksgiving dinner pick up game. I've played football, coached football, and have been a fan longer than Dinich has been alive, but I don't consider myself close to being the expert she's made out to be. It's actually kind of funny, ESPN hires you, and you suddenly become an expert overnight.
Just like with the Herbie comments, Thanks Heather for the Bulletin Board material !! Kirby will use it to stoke the fires even hotter with our Dawgs.
And to Repeat ( just like we’re gonna 3peat !!) if it was Bama you’d have to be careful not to slip and fall in the love drool from these loblollies !! So ESPN Yall keep on hating while the Dawgs keep on winning !!
Heather Dinich….. 🙄🙄🥱🥱🥱🥱
ESPN should stick to politics because they know nothing about Dawgs football! The last two years they've had even worse predictions about the Dawgs and we know how that turned out.
“If an asteroid hits Sanford Stadium, the Dawgs could be in big trouble,” ESPN’s Heather Dinich wrote.
@UGA66 Offering left overs again. Isn't that Disney's motto now?
I agree. ESPN and Heather are being short-sighted, as usual. Basing their comments on 2020, 2021 and 2022 results. I guess they're expecting Ga Tech and South Carolina to be the same teams they were for the last 3 years.
But, a casual fan could tell you...Tech has improved every game under new management and I expect em to put up a pretty good fight over the ACC, this year, with their new transfer QB. Supposedly, he's been turning heads..
While...South Carolina is ready to explode on the Beamer train...or, whatever....Lol. Rattler is gettin' ready to shut some flappin' ESPN gums...UP. And, I can't wait to hear all the "ESPN excuses" on why nobody thought they could compete. In fact...the "E" in ESPN stands for "Excuses". I think they were going for "Excuses Are Us"...,but...too many vowels. Lol
IMO...UGA better watch out for those 2 teams. Tech and S.C. have always given UGA a game...going back to "The Wishbone"...&..."George Rogers" days. As long as the Dawgs play "their game" to "their standard"...they should be walkin' on sunshine into the CFP.
This is the 2nd Salvo on UGA's playoff hopes and team culture. The 1st was the planted story about "speeding". They're going to work on a reason to squeeze UGA out of the CFP, the way they did in '07 and '18.
Attack their culture...attack their schedule...attack the "team leaders"...try to disrupt team unity and chemistry. Lol...if ESPN didn't launch this attack...Saban DID. Money and power make for strange bedfellows. Standby...I'm sure there will be more to come before December.
I just hope Kirby built his team to withstand a barrage of attacks from Jealous Coaches and Spiteful Journalists and Commentators desiring their team hold the top of the mountain.
