I don't disagree that the win over Pitt wasn't all that impressive. However to say that the "only real test" we had was UGA doesn't even really merit a response. Even if you want to be ridiculous as he is and say that the 11 AM kickoff made LSU kind of a nothing game, what about the Alabama game?

He says that we got to play most of our important games at Neyland. UGA played their 2 most meaningful games at a "neutral site" and at home. Not to mention their next 2 games, the SECCG and the Peach Bowl, are also at a "neutral site." What's the difference?

UGA is 30-1 since their last regular season loss in 2020. They’re pretty good no matter where they play. Just facts

Sure we probably were not a National Title Contender but we are, once again I reiterated, the toughest team Georgia has played to date and your biggest win.

MO played UGA much tougher than UT did. If biggest win means defeating the team with the best record, then I agree with you.

17 penalties has a lot to do with the outcome of that game

Which ones were not legit? Could any of them had to do with how Tennessee was playing? Lots of times penalties like holding and PI are forced by the opposition.

Of what relevance is that? You are pooh-poohing Tennessee's record this year in part because we played most of our tough games in Neyland. Since 2021, you've gotten to play basically all of your big games either at home or at neutral sites. The last 2 seasons, your best win in a true road game was Auburn last year or Miss St this year. I don't pooh-pooh UGA's record in those games on account of that fact, so what's the difference?

Your reading comprehension is lacking, friend.

i never even hinted at "Nobody can beat us ever."

I said Michigan isn't optimally equipped to battle Georgia. Also, not enough team speed to really battle an SEC titan like Georgia.

Ultimately, to battle Georgia's defense you want an elite QB with speedy receivers who can win 50/50 battles against our corners which are often in press man coverage. Also, have a good enough o-line to give said elite QB room and time to work.

Bama and Tennessee matchup better against Georgia than Mich, OSU, TCU, or USC.

Georgia will likely be a double digit favorite in every game from here-on-out.

Serious question - Have you seen USC play this year? Their defense is supsect, but the offense is every bit of what you described.

Not to mention Georgia never hardly plays a good OCC opponent out of the southeast. You never see Georgia play on the pacific coast or up north or the Midwest always gets a cushy 11am or 230pm game at Sanford. At least Bama traveled to Texas and we played at Pitt.

I don't really hold that against them either. They did play Notre Dame in a home-and-home a few years ago. Pitt is not some ACC juggernaut.

I just found it rich that a UGA fan minimized the schedule we played this year, and did it with some ridiculous arguments.

Several are claiming dynasty in several threads. Yeah, I'm being petty fussing with them, but you took one exchange, without understanding the "context" of our conversations, and wanted to slam me. I don't care if he was talking about the future in that post, or I was talking about the past in that post. They are not a dynasty is my argument with several of them, despite what anyone thinks. One win is not a dynasty. Now I will apologize for going harag towards you, but like I said, this is spread over several threads, so you sincerely don't understand the context of the whole thing. You snapped at me, I snapped back because it sure seemed as though you didn't understand the whole picture, so you took one post and automatically went to his defense. That's the context.

I appreciate your apology, and I know how Georgia fans are being that I live around them so I understand your annoyance of them.
And yes, I don't know the context of what all you're getting at because you didn't specify that you weren't really replying to the OP. I am constantly not explaining myself well so I know the feeling. But don't expect me to assume any context that isn't really given when it seemed like you were disagreeing with the OP about the state of their program lol.
We both hate Georgia and that's enough for me. Have a good day.

I didn't minimize your schedule I'm just telling you that you played your big games at home and those big games at home were against opponents who are very much down this year and it made you think you're better than you were. Once you had to leave your home stadium and play a decent team like UGA well you see what happened. You got beat by not so good team at South Carolina because he didn't get to play at home. I don't consider Kentucky, Alabama, or Florida to be very good this year. As UT fans on this very forum have stated you were just tinkering with disaster all year long and barely pulled out a couple of wins. It caught up to you in Athens and in Columbia. Say it again you can't be a championship team when your defense is as bad as yours is. You can't rank 130th in pass defense and expect to win a championship. As you are hearing from Alabama fans a 10 win season is a failure to them.

You're refuting a bunch of points I didn't make along with the one I did make. We played most of our big games at home this year. We'll play both UF and Alabama on the road next year. You've played all your big games not just this year but the last couple years at home or at neutral sites. Your biggest rivalry game is at a neutral site every single year, and you also don't play Alabama every year. Unlike you though, I don't hold that fact against you.

Tennessee had 2 nice wins this year, which is just as many as UGA and Michigan and more than schools like Ohio St, TCU, Southern Cal, or Alabama had. I don't consider the UF and UK wins to be great wins either, but to lump the Alabama win in that same category is just stupid. I know they didn't have the season they wanted with 2 losses and other close games their fans thought shouldn't be close, but those 2 losses came by a combined 4 points on the very last play of both games. If I were you, I wouldn't minimize Tennessee too much, because that is far and away UGA's best win this year.

And your only "good wins" we're in Georgia, that's it.

UGA defeated Notre Dame in South Bend at night in 2017, so there's that. Also, with the exception of a handful of times, they never get to enjoy home field advantage when they play their biggest rival. Imagine the "third Saturday in October" being played at Legion Field every year.
For some reason, UGA gets invited to play in alot of "kickoff" games to start the season and of course Championship games which are played at neutral sites.

Yes, Caleb Williams is an impressive young man on-and-off the field. A lot of us have been following him since high school because it was assumed he was coming to Georgia. 5-star QB Georgia boy, Brock Vandergriff, decommitted from OU and committed to Georgia, so Caleb then committed to OU instead.

Lincoln Riley is great offensive mind who always seems to have some tricks up his sleeve. (See Georgia vs Oklahoma 2018 Rose Bowl Highlights)

However; like you said, it's hard to imagine that USC defense competing with Georgia or most of the top SEC teams.

The tickets are split 50/50, proximity to Gainesville notwithstanding.

You never enjoy home field advantage in that game, but never play in The Swamp either.

Devil's advocate here, but what do you think the outcome of the UT/Bama game would have been had it been played at Legion field? I realize it's a hypothetical, but doesn't it cut both ways?

At Legion Field with the tickets split 50/50, I'm not sure it's any different. You can argue it would have been different at Bryant-Denny.

Laugh out loud times 1000. You think Georgia prepared for Tennessee all summer now that is the most delusional comment I have ever read on this forum. Yes that’s the Kirby Smart way to plan over the entire summer for an opponent 10 weeks into the regular season. Tennessee appeared to be no tougher for Georgia to play than Missouri or Kentucky and that’s just giving you the facts. In fact, they gave them less of a contest.

Kirby Smart said so in his press conference.

Georgia hasn't played a road game worth a ****. The one time they hit the road was Missouri and they almost lost. Let that sink in.

Tennessee is the only current top 10 opponent that Georgia has defeated.

Georgia has also NOT beaten a ranked team on the road. Traveling matters. Ask Alabama.

What would be the outcome had Georgia traveled to Alabama? I am not sure Georgia wins.
