I never picked up more than pure dislike from UGA/GT during my short time living in GA

GT grads don't care as much about football in my experience.  It's an in state rivalry that they only win about once a decade.  If they were still in the SEC and had a better program the hate would be more visceral.

One sided rivalry isn't much of a rivalry.  UGA fans mostly seem to hate Mark Reicht so far as I remember

I liked mark.

The ones that work for me always thought UGA was under performing under MR, and they were right.  

Unfortunately Nick Saban owns his assistants in a bad way but 2nd place sucks a lot less than the rest of CFB.

Mark always seemed like a guy that cared about his team and family . And to add to your comment. If you ain’t winning it ALL, your under performing.  UGA mindset. I guess not a bad way to think but who really stays on top if your not named Bama or Clemson.

This.

Go Bucks! Beat Michigan.....again

Bobby Dodd didn't like getting his tail kicked on a regular basis

I treat being a Gator in Atlanta like voting for Trump in Atlanta. I keep my head down and my mouth shut because everyone will hate me for it.

On that note, I'll be going to Gainesville for the UF game this weekend. Wish me luck on not getting Covid which would ruin my thanksgiving plans!

I think Orgeron caught lightning in a bottle last year.  Time will tell, but I’m not thinking he’s going to be a long term solution at LSU.  His teams don’t seem to be very disciplined and unless you’re far more talented than your opponents, you’re going to lose games that your team should normally win.

I’m sure SEC refs will rise to the occasion.

Shame.  Way too young.

UAB vs North Texas has been cancelled for this weekend. One of the teams has had a COVID outbreak.

No offense, but this is a very simplistic approach to looking at their last seasons in college, and only focuses on stats.

This is delusional.

As far as Eason "outplaying" Fromm, he must have done something right...he was named the starter heading into 2017, and started the first game over Fromm.  Fromm only got in through injury, nothing more.

You guys comparing their Junior (final) seasons in college are only focusing on stats, and not considering anything else.  In 2019, Fromm threw for 2,870 over 14 games, versus Eason with 3,132 over 13 games.  That gives From an average of 205 yards per game, with Eason averaging 241 yards per game.  So, roughly 36 yards difference per game, no big deal?  That same year, Georgia averaged 408.9 yds per game, with 186yds in rushing...so Fromm accounted for roughly 50% of the offense.  Washington?  392 yards per game, with 149 yds per game rushing...meaning Eason was 62% of their offense.  That's a considerable difference.

Eason was a definitely a bigger part of the offensive picture for Washington, but you also have to consider the teams surrounding the QB.  In the 2020, Georgia had five offensive players drafted (six if you count Fromm).  Two offensive tackles were taken in the first round, the starting RB was taken in the 2nd round, a guard in the 4th, and TE in the 6th.  That's three players off the line, a running back, and TE.  Know how many Washington players were drafted in the '20 draft?  Two...one of those was Eason, and the other was a center taken in the 5th round.

Point is, Fromm was surrounded by considerably more talent, had an NFL caliber offensive line, and the #2 running back taken in the draft.  Stick Fromm at Washington and Eason at Georgia in '19, who do you think has the better year?  I know which one I'm picking...

Don't get me wrong, I think Fromm was a decent QB...but he absolutely peaked in '17.  He never really improved after his freshman year, and actually regressed in his final season.  But this idea that Eason isn't really any better because he put up similar numbers at Washington is downright foolish.

Of course, the argument could be made that Fromm never got any better because of Smart's system....and who knows if Eason would have declined as well, but that's a whole other debate.

"I don’t think anyone is that deep. Even Bama."

I guess LSU didn't want to find out.

ETA: Or this one...

Bottom one is perfecr

How bad is it? Runny nose? With only a 99.99% chance of survival, you're in our prayers.

Whatever man.  Eason was the starter at the begining of '17 because he was the starter in '16 and Fromm was a true freshman.  Yeah Eason was a bigger % of the Washington offense in '19.  Probably has something to do with playing in different offenses. Yep they had different levels of talent on their teams and they played against different levels of talent too.  Fromm played in 3 conference championship games, won the Rose Bowl, and played in the NCG (and should have won).  There are tons of random stats either of us could use to make our argument.  Comparing their college career stats isn't delusional or foolish.

I posted the same thing two weeks ago in this thread.  The lack of WR talent and the offensive play-calling were both huge factors in '19 also.



We're on the same side.  I've voiced my frustration with the QB fiasco at Georgia.

Stetson's no good as we've seen.  Mathis is no good, as we've seen.  Daniels is behind both of them on the depth chart.  My guess is he's not much better at this point.  Check out this video of film study that's not a highlight reel.  

The biggest factor as to why Georgia is in the position it's in is because the graduate transfer took most of the coaching attention and first team reps in a shortened spring and summer camp, started getting Heisman and 1st round buzz, and decided to opt out 3 weeks before the first game.  As you're well aware, neither Stetson or Mathis or Daniels were supposed to be the starter.  I don't think the staff wanted Fromm to leave early for the NFL.  The buck stops with Kirby so he's gotta take the blame.


Go Dawgs!

So you saying my chances are slightly less than OSU's when they play MI?

So far symptoms are like a bad sinus infection.
Not fun for sure but not the worst thing by far.

Well, GT grads have jobs.

That probably goes a long way to not caring why the trailer park on the other side of town is on fire every weekend in the fall.

Better?

There ya go.

I still haven't finished Saturday's schedule as it is changing faster than the Biden vote count.

TTU/BU is getting some bets, line has swung 3 points overnight.  Big 12 pillow fight

Seems like most the quality teams have postponed or canceled this week

Michigan is still playing

I stand by my statement.

I was waiting on that.

I don't recall anyone else rejecting cuts...

Shelton Felton?



His parents must have hated him

With COVID, I don’t think they really had a choice but to postpone.  If the bowls and playoff games aren’t pushed back, it jams quite a few consecutive games together for the SEC champion.  If they don’t reschedule the playoffs, maybe let Alabama play LSU instead of Florida since the two teams are both in the West?  It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I think people may start realizing college athletic departments don’t have an endless supply of money.   If a big time program like Tennessee is having money problems, God help smaller programs.

I bet he knew how to fight by the time he got out of elementary school.

I agree.
I am stunned the coaches didn't take some sort of pay cut.

Orgeron’s offense with Miles brennan at the helm (now out for the season due to an injury from Mizzou game) has been very productive.

LSU’s issues are 100% the result of shit defense. They players seem unmotivated and confused. I blame this on Pelini, but it’s on Orgeron if he doesn’t fix that problem.

Only like ~25 programs were in the black to begin with

No way it is true, but it is hilarious. Or it's the biggest hail mary of all hail mary's. Funny regardless.

Our season died a long time ago, so the next bit of entertainment we Michiganders can cling onto is to read what all the angry fans and alumni have to say.... and the ridiculous rumors.

Texas is hoping to get Urban this year

I heard his wife was house shopping in Austin.

heh

Naw, that's Satan's wife.

3 new strip clubs opened up right next to campus

That is for the winter vacation home. Main residence will be in A²

Will Friend was one of my OL coaches at UAB. He was there under Neil Callaway.
