Big win. We manage to pull some games out despite having players with severe lack of body control at moments in every game. If we can win like that imagine what we could be if we could cut in half the moments of spazzing out! I’m just going to keep enjoying their craziness!

UGA is better than what they’ve shown recently. Hopefully this game gives them some confidence.

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.

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.

Don’t look now but Alabama and Vanderbilt don’t look as daunting as they were before. I think we match up better with Bama and Vanderbilt will be tough to win on the road. UGA’s 5 road wins this year ranks 2nd only to UF in the SEC.

Big game today. A win would be really nice. Hopefully we can pull it off at home. Go Dawgs!

I really like that lineup with James, Catchings and Wilkins together.

Catchings is just disgusting. That shot was beautiful.

What a start. Need to keep their foot on Texas's throat.

When Georgia lays like this, like they are capable of, I believe they can play with anyone.

Catchings needs to work on his running floater.

You can tell this is a revenge game for our players. Great energy. Hunkering down. We might win by 30!

We're up 10 at the half. We were up 7 at the half last time. Then Texas absolutely smoked us in the second half.

Because of the bad juju from assholes like VHS.

Have to re-establish a lead here. Texas made a run, came all the way back to tie the game, and now we need to put the foot on the accelerator again.

Great finish by Cain. This is a massive 8-0 run.

That was a big time game for us. To re-establish control after giving up an 18 point lead is huge
