more like 50-50. Dawgs have short bus ride, TX 800 miles. One thing that could be a factor, TX is 10 of 15 on field goals, Dawgs are 17 of 19 plus Dawgs are 46.95 yds punting vs TX 39.77 yds. If Dawgs are prepared and ready to play, this game will come down to turnovers and the kicking game.
If you don't like stress and frustration, don't watch this game. IMHO the team that avoids the most mistakes will probably win. one thing for sure Dawgs better start fast, coming back from 14 to 17 points against their defense will tough.

He looks like the spawn of Carrot Top and Sicilian Dawg.

Tix on stubhub are going for around 250. I could see there being some of those tickets that go unused. Both teams are already in the playoffs. I don't have a good feeling about the game We have just come up unprepared for most of the big games this year. We came back vs Bama and Tech but seems like it could really bite us in this game. Tx has the revenge factor.

Rematches between good teams often flip. I am not feeling good about this and wish that we had missed the SECchampionship and got the home game

Per DawginSC on the SECRant:
There have been 7 rematches in the SECCG before this one.

The team that won the first game won the second in 5 times out of those 7.

In both cases where the team that lost the first game ended up winning the SECCG, they lost the first game on the road.

Texas lost the first game at home.

It seems like we block a field goal every SECCG. We have to be #1 all time among SEC team for most blocked kicks in SECCGs. Another one would come in handy this Saturday.

That makes me feel better. I thought it was a lot worse than that.

Def won’t be 50/50 unless Dawg fans sold their tickets. Most of the sponsor tickets end up UGA.

Wondering if Texas knowing they are going to playoffs and only a week notice , don’t pushed the game as hard?

Will be more 65/35 UGA if history of playing Bama says anything.

All that matters is we catch the ball and avoid turnovers.

TX has a heavy presence in ATL. 50/50. They will travel.

maybe, but still a drop in the ocena compared to a UGA presence in atlanta.

there is simply no way. Even when we play bama it's not 50/50.

There is a big population that came from Texas, but not sure if they are hard core UT fans

Thanks. We had a slow year so I didn’t figure we would be at the top of his list.
I did pour over 2,000 yards by myself the month or so though.

True UGA fans take precedence over volume in my book. Most GCs don’t have a UGA fan to be found. All Auburn, Clemson, GT guys in Atlanta. That will change now that UGA has an engineering program.

All of our reps in Atlanta area will be coming by with their guests at some point or another. You need to come by also. Tailgating together in Austin ended up with a good outcome! I don’t set up a TV but there are always some setup in nearby tents. Mine is just whiskey, beer, food, and music.
