Kirby running the Saban Institute for Coaching Rehab....When does Sam Pittman come home and get the O Line up to snuff??? Actually they have looked better of late...

You are correct...UGA fans certainly know about playing a tough schedule and doing pretty well while doing so....

Who won the championship last year? Seems to be working out just fine for OSU



Exactly...play a weak arse schedule and win natty's. Unfortunately for SEC teams we do not have the option....

We've beat them more recently than you guys have. I really dont know what this argument has to do with anything though. We've made the playoffs twice already after losing to them including a national championship run, regular season games against 10 teams a year without a pulse really do matter because you roll into post season form healthy and refreshed while the compeition rolls in on crutches with tubes hanging out of every orifice.

That will happen when you play a one game regular season....ask Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska about who playing one team with a pulse a season works out in the Natty column....well maybe not Texas 'cause even with a one game regular season they couldn't manage to win many.....

Ohio State fans wanted to fire their coach literally last year .


Pretty late last year if memory serves....the talk then was he could not win a big game and it wasn't unfounded.

It seems like they get a solid hire every single time.


A concrete block being wheeled about the sideline would go 8-4 with their schedule every season. They were all about running their coach off LAST season. Its about as easy a 10 win a season gig as exists.
I don't think its all due to network idiocy but instead the product on the field. The commercials are just horrible...there is no flow at all to the game...its bad in TV, its untenable in person. Then every play takes a long time for the review....they have just ruined the game.

Starting the second half is a good example. They just did 20 straight minutes of commercials. They return and kick-off....and almost every game go to yet another commercial break before the first snap of the second half. UGA has been in games where the last 90 seconds of a half or a game would take 30 minutes between reviews, time outs and commercials. Its a unenjoyable product.

It is rampant in the sport. Its not talked about much but LSU is an academic institute first and foremost and like all such institutes the academic side of things and the revenue driven by that side of the house makes the AD look like a side hustle akin to driving for Uber to earn some Christmas cash. At some point in time I sincerely think the damage done to the academic institute by handing out wads of cash to failed coaches is going to be eliminated by the Universities. I know its a different pot of money but the reputation is one and it belongs to the University. When some gazillioanaire is deciding where there research money is going to go, and that is a heaping pille of money compared to athletics at LSU and all universities, it is hard to imagine them not having a lower opinion of a school with an AD who squanders wads of cash.
He has always struck me as more of a POS than all coaches are. They are all akin to politicians but Kelly always seems to be very fake....when Kirby Smart, also very like a politician, is pissed off it seems legit....when Kelly is pissed off it comes across as fake anger. I watched a little of the Netflix series with him in it and it came across even stronger on there, at least to me.

Having said that though I ain't certain LSU hasn't fornicated the canine on the hiring and firing of Jimbo I mean Brian Kelly....while what the governor as said is not entirely off the mark it certainly seems to place LSU in an untenable situation, especially coupled with them trying to low ball the a-hole.....LSU trying to negotiate a settlement is akin to making payments on your power bill...not a good look when you are trying to look pretty to soon to be millionaires who are 18 years old and their mama and daddy have dollar signs in their eyes and have personal experience with trying to negotiate a payment plan with the power company....

Did OP really wonder if Aggie fans will be at the SEC champ game. LOL

They will stuff that sucker.

Then most likely Jerry world in the quarters and so on.


It's a fair question....

Have the stakes in this game ever been so high?


Basically the only comparison would have been back in the multiple champion bowl game deciding national title games and both teams won national titles under that system and played one another and the team that went on to win a natty probably doesn't if they lost good old fashioned hate so it is basically the same difference. First round playoff games are bowl games held on campus...that is all the game will determine. Tech makes the playoff if they win or lose against UGA if they win the ACC and if UGA beats either Texas or Tech, giving Charlotte in between is not a loss, UGA makes the playoff. Long story short the stakes have been this high in good old fashioned hate. Tech most likely loses by a couple of scores to UGA though...if you ain't Alabama beating UGA is a tall task..GT missed their once every 10 seaason shot last year most likely.
I worked in Galveston for nearly a year after Hurricane Alicia in 1983/84 and there wouldn't have been 10 motorcycles together back then without someone getting shot. I think it was the Outlaws but there was a MC Gang in the area back then that liked to shoot one another and outsiders pretty regularly....

Not in Louisiana but in east Georgia this front moved in a BUNCH of ringnecks, redheads, blue bills and cans! I checked a couple of "refuge" ponds that cant be hunted yesterday around 2 and they were LOADED with diving ducks and a few gadwall and mallards.....diving ducks are the mainstay in this area. Enjoyed watching 'em even if they can't be hunted where they were....

I hope Coach O is still too busy with young women and fishing to be bothered to come back....I live vicariously through Coach O

[quote]Are the Aggies “richer” or “poorer” than Texas?

I get the feeling they have bags of money just laying around for a quick trip to ATL.

Probably a good sized diaspora as well positioned in various places within 300 miles of ATL.

I bet they set the record for ticket prices.[/quote]

God I hope so LOL! Daddy needs a new pair of shoes! I, and a bunch of other folks, were salivating over Texas getting to the game in year one....and no one was happy with the price they eventually sold their tickets for. No one that I know anyway. Alabama fans will spend their money....Texas fans were apparently waiting for the playoffs. Whatever it was if last year is any indication they won't be much more than they would be when Arkansas and Missouri is in the game....but hope springs eternal...I'd like to put about $8k in my pocket toward the end of November. If they are as cheap this year as last I may go even if UGA ain't in the game.

The record is like $600 for nosebleeds.
Could that get to $1000?


I have sold mine in the club section for $2500 each (UGA/BAMA) and could have gotten that in 2022 but we decided to go to that game. Seats are in one of the drinking sections so they were worth more back then but last season I just barely got rid of them without them costing me anything in fees. They usually go for about 2-3 times face value. I know a couple of people who said they were not buying them again after last season. I suspect they have changed their mind, plenty of people waiting, but they were cheap last season.

Demand should be stout with new blood in the game,


It was almost non existent last year with Texas in the game. ATM has been in the conference a long time now so there may be more interest but the game is pretty much meaningless as far as anything other than conference bragging rights and both fan bases know they are going to at least one playoff game somewhere and apparently waited to buy those tickets.
