Damn. That’s probably Gridiron weekend next fall.

I lived in Hill Hall in 1996.
I was JBJ on the Old Dawg Rant. And then Hinesville Thrill here. I made TLA a long time ago to troll people but never got around to it. Somehow Hinesville Thrill got logged off somehow and don’t remember my password and don’t have access to the email linked to Hinesville Thrill.

Third-ranked Georgia (11-1, 7-1 SEC) joins Florida (1992-96) as the only teams to ever make a record five consecutive SEC Championship Games (SECCG).
The Bulldogs have won the SEC title 15 times, which ranks second to UA’s 30.
Georgia aims to win back-to-back SEC titles for the first time since it won three in a row (1980-82).
Georgia has won the SECG five times (thrice in the Kirby Smart era) including in 2024 over #2 Texas.
The Bulldogs will be making their 13th appearance in the SECCG, tying the Gators for second most in SEC history.
In rematches during a season under Smart, the Bulldogs are 3-0 (2017 AU regular season loss/SECCG win, 2021 UA SECCG loss/CFP Title win, 2024 Texas regular season win/SECCG win)
Georgia’s 2025 Senior Class is 50-5 overall. They have won a national title (2022) and two SEC crowns (2022, 2024) in their career. They are the third straight class to register 50 wins, joining the 2023 group (50-4) and last year’s record-setting class (53-5).

34th SEC Championship Game Georgia vs. Alabama
Posted by TLA on 12/4/25 at 1:09 pm
Fellow Poors, I bring tidings of great joy.
Your Georgia Bulldogs have rolled through another regular season with wins over Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Texas, and the North Avenue Trade School. That’s two straight years of running that gauntlet clean, and it still feels a little unreal.
Never in the long history of this sport has Georgia been this good - for this long. We are living inside the golden age.
And yet… that one team to the west still lingers. The unwelcome visitor to this era of Bulldog bliss. The Cousin Eddie of the Georgia Bulldog Experience: Alabama.
And wouldn’t-you-know-it, that’s their damn gypsy caravan of RV’s headed down I-20, where crossing the state line into Georgia means stepping into both enemy territory and the into future itself, literally by an hour on the clock, and figuratively in every other cultural sense.
What makes this meeting even stranger is that it may not matter at all. The way the new College Football Playoff works, Georgia and Alabama might very well end up playing again in a few weeks. Maybe even in this same building. Maybe even for something that the the white guys in suits will insist is “bigger.” Spare me.
The stakes have never been lower for a game that still makes everyone sick to their stomach.
Win on Saturday and you collect a trophy that used to mean something, then wait a month to play a playoff game for TV.
Lose, and you miss the trophy but get a home playoff game against Virginia or Tulane or some other team that would be around the 6th most interesting game played on UGA’s schedule the season.
None of this feels like the sport we fell in love with. Nobody fell in love with college football because of a bracket reveal. Nobody’s heart was stirred by sorting out the 7-seed versus the 10-seed.
What is it that stamped this silly ritual on our minds and made it a part of our collective cultural identity, so ripe for commercial exploitation? The pain of hearing Rocky Top or Gator Bait after a big play. The joy of walking to your car and sitting in traffic in the dark after winning at Auburn.
And what is it that is eroding that attachment faster with each passing year? Trying to figure out whether your team is better off losing a game to improve its TV-trophy seeding.
But here we are. Pigs at the trough.
Georgia is playing, and all of us, no matter how stupid this system gets, are going to want them to win in a way that is absolutely not healthy.
So let’s lean in.
This week’s PMGN is built around the romantic December Atlanta weekend that only still exists in our collective imagination: Bones, Pano’s & Paul’s, Seeger’s. Johnny’s Hideaway. The Pool Hall. Tailgates staged in the ballrooms of private clubs. The Alliance Theatre at Christmas. The old Egleston Festival of Trees.
The glowing cream-with-black-spider-web-roof of the Georgia Dome on a cold night while red and black floods the streets.
Maybe this game is a glorified exhibition. Maybe it’s a prelude to another chapter of this same matchup. But it’s still Georgia against Alabama in Atlanta…and the chance to ruin an Alabama fan’s night is enough for me.
To the Cause of the Poor. Go Dawgs.

This is the second time you have used “3th” in less than a week. Are you crazy or just plain stupid?

I wish we had a big basketball booster that could have thrown money at Asa to stick around one more year with this team.

Did I miss something?
Schu won’t be getting any head coaching jobs if he can’t figure out how to stop an offense in the first half. It’s becoming more than a trend now. He can’t continue to dig a hole that the offense has to dig out of. Complimentary football requires both sides of the ball to do their job.
Schumann ain’t the guy.

He needs to take far more heat than Bobo.

I don't follow, Stockton played the Sugar Bowl in a split dome
I consider Stockton as more “experienced” as having been in the program three and a half years as opposed to a true freshman Fromm who had been with the program all of about nine months. GS has been in these stadiums, played in games, and is the unquestioned starter the whole offseason. I don’t see Fromm’s start at ND as a trump card in this instance. But again, this is semantics.
quote:
Unlike many of our fans, I can assure you I have less than zero CMRPTSD. Just pointing out that this is as unproven as we've been at QB there in at least 10 years, which would be cause for concern against any opponent I would think?
Not that it matters much, but I’d argue it’s the most “unproven” we have been at QB up there since 2019. 2017 true frosh Fromm had the start at ND but we brought close to 40,000 fans. We are getting into semantics now. Is it a question mark going into Knoxville? Yes, but I personally feel we have much bigger question marks other places.
That’s some of the CMRPTSD bubbling up. Yes it’s a road game in front of 100,000 drunk screaming hillbillies in GS’s first true road start. He’s got the moxie to keep his cool up there. ND fans were pretty loud in the Superdome and he had his faults, but overall he played well enough to be optimistic for this Fall. The OL has to be allow us to run the ball and the new WR’s have to play as advertised. The fact that they will have been playing together for roughly nine months at the point, gives me hope.
As far as the other stuff goes, UT lost Nico, Sampson, and four OL. Add to that, Kirby has never given up more than 17 points to a Heupel offense. So, will it be pretty up there? Probably not. But I expect us to be considerable favorites going to Knoxville.

Yeah, I knew about that but it had been a minute since I’ve been around him. It was just striking when I was walking directly behind him.

I spent three days with Kirby last week. He looks better than 98% of 50 year olds I know. But supposedly he’s on “the shot.”
My concern is for Mike. You’d never know he was a SEC quarterback. He looks terrible and even waddles when he walks.
