so did paul johnson. Didn't really matter much. Key also cried in kirby's arms last year so he's kind of a pussy too.

If I’m reading this correctly we are going to the SEC championship if Ole Miss beats MSU?

IMO the best case scenario
1.A&M losing a very close game to Bama
2.Indiana wins the Big 10
3.And Texas Tech winning big 12.
IU, Texas Tech, OSU, A&M top 4
Hopefully that would put us in the no. 5 spot and hosting the no.12 ranked team in Athens with the chance to play Indiana in the quarterfinals
Why wouldn't it be Texas A&M beats Alabama, and Texas Tech loses, and we definitely stay at 4 and get a bye?

This is a dumb narrative in my personal opinion if you have the ability to play in the championship game you play in it. The SEC title game still means something, play to win.

Be ignorant about their offense all you want. King is a top 3 QB in the nation and they will move the ball and score against us

Haynes King is not to be taken lightly

I want to win the SECCG every dame year. I don’t want a bye in the playoffs. Taking 6 weeks off with holidays in there and limitations on practice, etc is detrimental to a team.
There’s a reason every bye team lost in the playoffs last year…you don’t hit some opponents for 5 weeks, you are rusty. You don’t play another opponent and get real game time looks, you get rusty.
The ONLY thing any team in the SEC can control is winning the SECCG and it’s a slight step down from the watered down playoff championship and definitely better than making to the CFB Playoff Championship and losing

We won the SECCG last year and lost the first game after to ND. We were literally one of those "bye" teams along with, Arizona St. Boise, and Oregon.

So given the choice of playing in (and possibly losing the SECCG) or playing in and possibly losing the NC you're good with the SECCG? May I point out a team has just as much control over the outcome of the NC game as they do over the SECCG.

timmy chang, colt brennan, and a long list of Mike Leach QBs were all video game stat monsters until they played a legit defense. Nobody is "ignorant" about king being a tough dude and a really good QB but there is zero reason to think he's going to single handedly beat us. He is also nowhere near a top 3 QB in america, considering he's only the 2nd best QB in the state of Georgia. He has played a HS schedule.
If there's one thing we know about kirby it's that if one specific thing is gashing his defense repeatedly, at SOME point he will generally find a way to stop it. His first time facing paul johnson in 2016 they got the best of us. The next yera we created some 4-1-1 thing that PJ had never seen and we obliterated their gameplan. AU in 2023 kept gashing us with that QB run with a lead/pulling blocker and then we shut that shite down in the 2nd half (and the subsequent yeras after). Knowing how last year's game turned out (when tech sandbagged the shite out of everyone with king's health), plus having another year of film on him, I would be absolutely floored if king had the same success this year against us.
King is good, but he is not good enough to carry his entire team on his back to beat UGA.

I'll take the SECCG. The goal is to win championships. If we don't make it then move on to the next phase and try to win the big championship.

Lol why are you comparing air raid QBs to Haynes King?
Weird strawman about King being able to single handily beat us? No one said that.
And you are ignorant if you don't think King and their offense will move the ball and score on us. Look at the last two games we have played. They have more talent now. It will be a close game and we could easily lose the game if the ball bounces their way a few times.
Yes their schedule is weak, no one said otherwise. But their offense with King at QB is legit and is the type of offense that has given us and Kirby problems throughout his career. CJ Allen being out doesnt help

pretty easy to see the point if you read the post

Most teams we've played this year have moved and scored on us, so what? You are acting like we should be shaking in our boots because of big bad haynes king, based on practically nothing more than him dominating JV level competition.
They just needed all of 60 minutes to beat one of the worst P4 teams in the country. They lost by double digits to NC State. They barely esacped the team currently ranked 9th in the pathetic ACC.
quote:

highly debatable. Their biggest playmaker last year is now at AU. Singleton hurt us last year almost as much as king.

how would anyone know? How can we possibly know how "legit" it is considering the best team they've played all year is wake forest?

There is no point in comparing air raid QBs and Haynes King unless you are just being purposely ignorant.
You are the one that's apparently offended and whining because I think it will be a close game. My original post in this thread was that it will be a war. I get you want to be the corny guy that never says anything good about Tech, but give it a break. It's corny.
This same offense and QB put up 7 yards per play against us last year...at home. Their o line is better, Rutherford and Jamal Haynes are still there.
Again I don't even understand what point you are trying to make. You don't think it will be a close game and you don't think their offense will be successful? If so that's fine, but I disagree. Not sure why this has your panties in a wad though.

Actually it's statistics which is a science. So yes, not only rational but logical.
Explanation:
The probability of player injury increases proportional to the amount of playing time. Less playing time = less probability for player injury. The concept should not be hard to comprehend.

Great explanation. Probably lost of deaf ears, but great none-the-less.
