And again… we’re much better this year. We were in a funk without JW and the basketball gods were fricking with us because we’re UGA. Hopefully we get/got our head out of our arse and we get revenge against Texas on Saturday. Go Dawgs!

I don't know if Georgia has the most insufferable fans in the SEC, or if all SEC fanbases are like this and I just don't pay enough attention to the other ones.

…I was glad to see Stagg get the start, even though he didn't have a good game. I think Stagg can be a gamechanger down the stretch if he gets enough minutes and we run some offense through him.

UGA is better than what they’ve shown recently.

Yesterday makes JW's prior absence even more irritating. ATM is damn good and extremely well coahced so we probably lose to them regardless, but I know we could've beaten OU with a full lineup.

Oh well, that's life. Prior to the last 2 games I think most fans expected 1-1 so we hit that mark, and honestly I'd prefer it happen this way instead of the expected. Yeah we added a bad-quad loss, but we got a resume boosting win. Our "signature", notable wins are kinda sparse outside of Arky so winning at Rupp gives us another nice feather in the cap.

If we ASSUME losses to VU/Bama and wins over SC/MSU...that makes this Texas game absolutely gigantic. I've said for a while 21 wins is the magic number so if we go with those above assumptions we'd be 20-10 (8-9) with only the Texas game not counted. That game switching between win and loss is huge for our resume, espeically with the conference record. I hate to call it a must win (because it isn't, especially with SECT yet to play) but man we get a lot more breathing room with a win.
