I see us beating SC, KY, GT. The criminals at Auburn will find some way to screw things up.

But the buck stops with Bama. Do we have a shot? Our defense this year is powerful but I am hesitant to think we can beat them. A family member who knows every detail about football says we wont beat them this year in the SECCG but if we continue this streak into next year we have a better chance at beating Bama in 2018. He's been reminding me all season that Kirby will have to go face the "old man" this year. IMO, Saban will see our weaknesses and exploit it like he does every other team. But they only beat us by a few points in 2012 and our team is 100% better this year.

Also, same person told me that Kirby should consider hiring Mac as OC. He dislikes Chaney as much as I do. But Mac was OC at Bama before he went to Colorado. Or is this family member just having wishful thinking in hoping that Kirby starts picking off some of the previous or possibly current coaching staff at Bama?

I'm not as intense on the details of football as some of you and I'm not looking to get a rash of shite from you guys because I respect a lot of your opinions. Just want to know what ya'll are thinking.

We may have to play Bama, but they have to play us to. We absolutely have a shot.

Gotta get there first......


But yes, if we get there we have a chance....will have to play mistake free but that is what we are doing so far.....this is what a well coached team looks like. Talent has seldom been our problem....it's always been fundamentals and focus.....and we are, at the moment, fundamentally sound and this staff is thus far keeping everyone focused.....who knows what tomorrow brings but right now we are as sound as we look....will take a lot of hard work to stay sound but through 8 games we are as sound as we've ever been

"Do we have a shot?"

Ok, I know we have a shot! I guess I worded it wrong.

On this day in 2012 Georgia was still fresh from an arse whooping from South Carolina and barely beating Kentucky. And we gave Bama hell in the SECCG that year. Even though Bama was better then than they are now.

So HELL YEAH we got a chance against Alabama.

Kirby should hold a meeting and say next person that gets arrested is gone. It's too important now to be fricking around

We area much better team now than 2012.....maybe not as talented but more disciplined and more focused.......Alabama is exactly what they were in 2012.....talented, focused and disciplined......there ain't no mystery there....just a damned good football team. We won't get run out of the stadium and, if we stay focused and disciplined and don't get too far in our own heads when things ain't going our way....which they won't against Bama....not all the time....we can win. If we do that for 6 more games we are where we want to be.....

If we are undefeated when we play in the SECCG we will win and eliminate the opponent from playoff contention. The West is ripe for the plucking. Bama will come into the game overconfident and they will choke badly.

We would beat Bama by at least 2 touchdowns if we played this weekend. They survive on their name alone.

What a bullshite negative comment. Kirby isn't going to waste time talking about the possibility of arrests.

Exactly. Any meeting he holds should be telling the players number 1 doesn't mean shite if they don't continue working harder each week than they have in the last week.

Wrong. the buck stops with Georgia. If we win out and make the CCG, then we do indeed have a chance to beat Bama. They are ahead of us in stats only because they haven't had a Notre Dame game to hold them down in points and offense.
That said, their run defense is lights out, so Fromm will have to throw often and on target. That will be the key.

It has to be something of an x factor that Kirby studied under and game planned alongside Saban on 4 championship teams. He understands his OCD attention to every nuance of an opponent better than anyone

With Kirbys competitive fire deep down he has to be salivating at the chance to play this game this early in his HC career
