re: Am I the only one who thinks UT could pull the huge upset of UGA?

He attacked Russia in the summer - June 22, 1941.

Initially. With the plan of eventually taking Leningrad and other major cities.

Didn't get to Leningrad 'til November though. When his men were half-starved, half-froze, and half-dead because of the winter weather.........

Was a suicide mission.

"could" yes.

"will" no.

I think the defense shows up.
Tennessee is 1 dimensional and those are the types of teams that we can get to.

Huh? Okay........ It was basically a Summer Vacation for the Germans then. There were no issues with being unprepared for winter conditions whatsoever. They roasted weenies every night and drank Corona with lime wedges stuffed in the bottle neck............ The Russian invasion was a brilliantly planned and executed?

God Dammit can Keith Marshall please run like a bat out of Hell with his a-hole on fire for 260 all purpose yards and be the back that we remember from last year, the #1 in SEC for yards per carry?

Please Keith... this is your chance.... Gurley all banged up... hurt some motherfrickers.

What? The Wehrmacht reached Leningrad at the end of August and began the siege in early September. It was still summer, so the soldiers weren't even partially starved, frozen, or dead. Tired from the rapid advance, yes, but in good trim overall.

The Germans also specifically ruled out taking Leningrad, because they didn't want to have to feed its population. As far as taking other major cities, they'd captured nearly all of the major ones in Western Soviet Union by the end of the summer. Pretty much only Moscow remained - and they would have captured it, but for the fact that Hitler diverted his panzer divisions to the Ukraine, and didn't resume the advance on Moscow until October. The Russians finally stopped them outside Moscow in December - by which time AG Center had outrun its supply lines.

There is a monument directly in front of Hitler's Munich Headquarters memorializing the millions of Germans who lost their lives (and the first world war in part) by waiting too late to invade Russia and finding themselves engaged in battle in winter (which, by the way, begins in earnest in Southern Germany by late September and by mid-October is in full swing in Poland and the Soviet Union....it don't have to be February for folks to freeze to death in this part of the world). Any way Hitler lived at the opposite end of the small park that this monument is in when he was in residence snd supposedly walked past that monument every day. It is amazing that in all those trips it never sank in that invading Russia in late Summer and early fall wasn't a good idea, especially when he coupled this with stretching the german lines....good thing he was a military idiot...

I'm not worried at all. Worley makes Driskel look like Tom Brady.

Sure it has. 2007 and 2009 come to mind...

While I think UGA may look a little sluggish out of the gate, I think it will start rolling before half.

You gotta let past crap go, these are not those players . And Bobo and Richt are not the same, they have changed, or should I say grown as coaches; especially Bobo.

Look at last week, we don't win on gameday , and never win when it's in Athens. But we did. This team has a different swagger in my opinion. Let them be them. I think this team has a chance to incredible, just believe.

Unfortunately I think we had to go unbeaten this year to win it all, that's jus bad luck though, has nothing to do with this team. The quack attack, buckeyes , and winner of Clemson/ FSU( which I think will be CU). Run the table out. They really have no real challenges out there.

Just enjoy watching this offense play and the defense grow, I was real encouraged with some of the young players last week , and some if the upperclassmen finally finding their groove (Drew).

This team has the chance to win out, and an SEC title ain't bad.

As far as today though , nervous early, blow out late.
