We had a backup freshman QB and a team everyone thought might win 8-9 games take us to OT in the NC. Yeah I’m pissed and wanted to win but damn I would’ve taken this at the beginning of the year over where I thought we’d be. We played one more game than Bama and went across the country and played an emotional Rose Bowl. Our future is brighter than in anytime in program history.

This one is going to stay with me forever as a fan.
Even if we end up winning a title or two over the next 10 years, last night was the closest I've ever seen this program winning it all. Pitched a shutout at halftime. One quarter away with a 2 score lead. A second and 26 in OT away.
I love what this team was able to accomplish and I like where the program's headed. We should've won this one.

It was a great year. I just hate we have to wait 8 1/2 months to start the next season. We are on an exciting ride.

We did win it. We blocked the punt and it was over.

After the last several years I am numb to it. Doesnt even register on the pain scale when compared to 2012 seccg. What a great season though. I did not expect to get this far. Bama had the easiest road to a natty I’ve ever seen and when they were about to be put away the refs put them back in it.

I'm right there with you on the 8 1/2 months part. Damn it is like having to wait on Christmas all over again when you know you've got a chance to get gifted a big lottery win.
UGA defense will take a step back, but it won't be that terrible. We held Alabama to their lowest yards in a first half since 2008....This type of defense isn't always going to be around. I think the tables turn next year, and offense will win us our games instead.

Kind of like how the offensive line improved in 2017 by losing 3 starters from 2016... I'm hoping our secondary can grow despite losing Sanders, Davis, and Parrish. That is a big wish. And I was skeptical on the OL. But I'm trusting what this staff is trying to do.

well if there is one silver lining, that 2012 SECCG doesn't suck as much now

have to disagree with you there.
That one hurt because we knew we had a great shot in the championship if we had pulled it out.
This one WAS the championship. This hurts a little more for me.

OL and the offense should be fine next year. They will just have to outscore some opponents until our young D can catch up

2012 was worse for me because after that I learned to temper my expectations. If we win great, if not, that's fine too. We aren't Alabama. So we shouldn't have the same expectations, especially considering God wears crimson and white. Bama, Yankees, Patriots...God has shitty taste in sportsball, and that's all there is to it.

Truth is the dawgs were probably the 3rd or 4th best team in the country by the end of this year and they almost stole it.
Problem is bama is going nowhere and if you can't beat them in seccg you can't make the playoff.

Yeah and then we finally win the seccg while bama gets to go around that game to get back to the natty an there they are waiting for us. Why couldn’t we get an overrated big 10 team to stomp on? Because bama that’s why.

I have been very confident since the SEC CG that we were on the brink of something special....and I'm still confident of that. The problem is we will have to face Alabama at least twice for the foreseeable future to win a natty....Sabah is still pretty young as far as coaches go......
My father asked me how long we keep Smart in Athens and at the time the thought was ludicrous that he'd leave of his own accord......I'm not so certain now.....it would certainly be easier to win natties in any other conference.
This season was special and it doesn't get much better...2nd and 26 in overtime with a 3 point lead may well be as close as we get...just damn....

If they get the call right Bama is offsides 5 yd penalty and they punt. The bock wouldn't have stood.

There no option to decline that?
Posted on 1/9/18 at 8:42 am to Griffindawg
No. Dead ball foul. As if the play never happened.
Posted on 1/9/18 at 8:45 am to Griffindawg
Offside on offense the play is dead

Everyone?Anything less than an SECE title would have been unacceptable with the talent we had and with how bad
the east was.
It's not easy to get to a NC and the fact is we blew our shot.Yea,the future is bright with the talent coming in BUT who's to say the ball bounces our way like it this year vs OH and ND.
I've seen this act multiple times as ATL/UGA sports fan and I hate the "awe shucks,we'll get em next year"
attitude.
