UGA/VOLS observation

[1989Vol]

Our D shut em down didn't we!!!! Only 3 points in the 2nd half!!!

Meanwhe the beat offense in CFB scored less points vs Georgia than Kent State.

 

[DirtyDawg]

It wasn't an accusation, it was a comparison. I don't know anything about the poster. I made an innocuous "devil's advocate" post and got called a dumb@$$, so the fun is on, right?

I am not here as an ambassador, just to exchange banter and barbs with rival fans and see how they think about the sport, the season, etc. Just like in a barber shop, not personal, just jokes.

Apologies then, you’ll have to overlook my failure to pick up the context. Your post just shocked me at first. Lol.

I have no idea why a Vol would ever post that. Seriously. You attack your own team and praise the other? Why? Does that bring you any joy?

I just don't get that.

 

[SLODAWG]

You guys just don't get it.

There is no amount of love and praise that will ever make an uga fan happy. They always demand more. They crave attention and affirmation, because they know deep down that they have a vanilla southern football program. Is Georgia popular nationally? Nope. Tennessee shows signs of life, and we have the two highest rated games all season. We have a national brand that has been dormant way too long.

But go ahead if you must. Genuflect to uga. Call them the bestest ever. Heap praise on their program and team. And it STILL won't be enough for them. With rare exceptions, they are the neediest, whiniest, most passive aggressive fans in sports.

Trash program.

I don't know about being a "vanilla southern football program." I do know Georgia is a national championship program. In fact, a national championship program very likely to win another national championship.

I mean honestly y’all have one national title in 40 years granted probably another one this year but most uga fans act like they have like 5 or 6 in a row lol

 

[90 Vol]

How about when UGA took a field goal on 2nd and goal to end the 1st half instead of trying for the TD or when they ran out the clock after taking over on your 39 with 2:42 left and 2 timeouts, then took a knee on your 24 yd line with 26 seconds and one timeout left?

My question is why are y’all still here? Trolling? Seeking validation? Y’all won but the Vols appear to be living in your heads rent free. Afraid of the outcome of a possible rematch? You should be…

Boasting is hardly unique to UGA fans. The Vols have had a really good season so far. Have you read the stuff posted here? Up until last week, the Vols were invincible. For some here, they still are.

No apology necessary, I just never assumed the tone was hostile from anyone, just breaking balls, like guys do at the bar, tailgate, etc. I'm no guru, so this is all just fun to me since I have no control over outcomes of any games.

I lived in Athens during the entire 10-year reign of terror UT had over us, so of course this elates me a little. I also know seasons change and tides turn, so at some point there will be a whole new set of Big Dogs that won't include us. With Heupel that might come sooner than anyone thought.

 

[DawggoneRight]

Because we like you. Don't you think we have family, friends, colleagues, etc. that pull for other schools and all like to heckle each other? I don't hate any school or their fans just because they aren't UGA, though some are more fun to mock. We have to take our medicine, too, man. Didn't you guys just love that SEC loss we had last year and let us know it long afterwards? How about the constant reminders that "Williams and Metchie were hurt" long after the NC game?

Why is this all so serious? We are all grown people with big responsibilities and obstacles in our daily lives and sports are supposed to be temporal diversions from that fact, not extra burdens to bear at the risk of losing honor.

Clemson has a NC as well, and they are vanilla too. No national draw at all. uga is similar. Little to no real identity, and very little national appeal. Y’all bark at kickoffs and planted some bushes in your stadium. Wow.

Go anywhere, hum Rocky Top, and people know Tennessee. They may love us or hate us, but we are a national brand with real traditions and personality.

uga just.......isn’t.

I’m here because I love CFB. I love talking CFB. This forum has some interesting participants. But no I’m not afraid of a rematch, looking forward to it. Would be a highly anticipated game.

 

[VolInNW]

Kinda sums it up

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Okay guy, show me how Tennessee outscored Georgia from the second quarter on when they lost the third and then come back with that "You obviously watched a different game" doo-doo. Tennessee got their arse whooped in rushing, passing, time of possession, total offense, total defense, special teams, and penalties, and lost by 14 with 8 expected. But know what, rock on with that head-in-the-sand mess. In that game, Georgia beat the hell out of Tennessee the entire night.

Just curious. Why do you sign up as poster on another teams message board? Seems strange to me. I have been a member on Volnation since the early days. I have never thought Ill be a poster on a Florida, Georgia or Alabama message board. Clearly it is allowed as Freak makes the rules. I am just curious what brings a UGA fan on a UT forum? Are the Dawgs boards full? Abysmal? Or you just want to stir up stuff?

 

[Vol737]

Georgia whooped us, plain and simple. They wanted to show us what was behind their woodshed and we went behind it to take a look. I'm more concerned about how we respond and what adjustments Heupel will make if we face GA again. Hooker cannot hold that ball like he did Saturday. Love Hook, but he cost us massive yards taking sacks instead of humming that ball oob. He was off target most of the day as well, a bad day and everybody has them. Georgia dropping two LB's into zone and sending a corner blitz left the center of the field wide open and we never even thought about it. Never saw safety valves out in the flat either, and if we did do it, well, Hooker never saw them either. We had a bad game offensively, but it was a product of how GA defended us and I never saw an adjustment that accounted for much. All that aside and regardless of what other fanbases think or say, we have somehow risen from the absolute dead starting last year to be 8-1 today with solid wins over Fla, LSU and Bama and in the national discussion. It's better than the other option that we lived through for the past 15 years. It's simply amazing how far we've come in a short amount of time. Don't expect other programs to understand it or recognize it. There will be other elite SEC programs that cycle down eventually. They better pray to God it's not what we experienced. GBO!

Why do University teams go to other schools and play each other instead of staying on their own campuses and just playing amongst themselves with teams of students from their own schools? Why do you go to another town, state or country for vacation instead of staying in your own hometown? Why do you go out to eat instead of eating at home all the time? Why do kids go to universities at all, instead of staying home and reading the books on their own?

I ask you why do you not consider participating on other boards? Do you prefer that everyone stay on their own sides of the fences and just throw stones at each other instead of actually crossing lines and meeting, exchanging ideas and even "stir things up" a bit? Well, we used to have a thing like that and it was called segregation.

Opposing team boards are interesting and fun and filled with a funky mix of fans that see things in ways I do not, for better or for worse. I learn from them, expose myself to critique and challenges to my thoughts and even insults and maybe add something to the mix in the process, for better or for worse. Try it sometime, it's not a scary as you think.

Kirby took us to an overtime loss in the NC in his 2nd season after decades of being on the outside, so there are many of us who recognize the impact Heupel is having on the Vol program so quickly. However, it took Kirby 6 seasons to win it all because it is very had to circumvent the ingredient of time in the process of building and developing the deep and wide waters needed to survive a whole season. I think you have the guy who can do it, or at least get you back to 10-12 win seasons if you will give him the time and resources to build it methodically to endure. Many people recognize what is happening there and are concerned.

I rewatched Tennessee/Georgia game tonight. I thought Saturday night Georgia dominated Tennessee by playing their best game of the year and Tennessee their worst game. After watching it again I realized Georgia had 3 big plays that allowed them to score. From that point, 43 seconds into the second quarter, Georgia had only 162 total yards for the 2,3,4 quarters combined. They only had 72 total yards in the whole second half. They had only 95 total yards more than Tennessee for the game. Not to mention the fluke 75 yard punt that goes out at the one. Tennessee missed on a couple of wide open throws that would have been touchdowns. Tennessee’s defense showed up. Georgia’s great tight ends caught 3 total balls all night, all by Bowers for a measly 27 yards. Don’t get me wrong, Georgia deserved Saturday’s game but this game was much more competitive than people especially Georgia fans are trying to say. I’m hoping for a rematch (it’s highly possible) because I believe on a neutral field Tennessee will win. I believe final 4 will be 1.Georgia 2. Ohio St 3. Tennessee 4. Oregon

There seem to be 2 threads emerging.
1) we suck again and need to bench Hooker and fire some coaches or
2) we really should be able to win the rematch

We did not shut Georgia down. They threw 4 times the entire 2nd half. Our strength is rushing D so it only appeared that our D did a great job. But hey, i do prefer the optimism vs acting like we’ll be lucky to win another game.

All SEC fans are irrational and arrogant. Georgia fans are every bit as bad as Alabama. I’ve got better things to do than trade insults. But there are lots of media sites for each school that give you injury news and who is playing well. That’s a little more valuable.

I've been to Knoxville for a game and had a great time. The folks couldn't have been nicer. And yeah, Rocky Top is a catchy tune. But I'm not at all interested in UGA having national appeal. I want national championships. Why would I care what someone in Des Moines, Iowa or Phoenix, AZ think of the Georgia football program?

I just don't get that.

It appears the truth hurts you. I haven't put a spin on this game like many have here. I saw the truth on the field. Our OL were WORKED the entire game. Our Heisman QB looked average because of it. Our D never stopped UGA in game truthfully. They used 9+ minutes to drive on us in the 3rd quarter. BowlCut put them in coast mode when the skies opened up. We were outplayed, out-coached and run out of town. I honestly believe they could've put "fiddy" on us like many predicted we would do to them......in the rain or not. If we get a rematch, anything can happen but if you know anything about football you know they are playing with the "first pick" kids on the sandlot and we're playing with the "middle to last" kid picks. I'm not sorry your feelings got hurt. Don't let your orange glasses cloud the truth friend.

Time to consentrate on Mizzou.

Dawgs only attempted 4 passes the entire 2nd half. Kirby went clock management and ball control. That game was pretty much over at halftime.

Be careful what you wish for, you might get a second chance.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

 

[hUTch2002]

What is the media's motivation to push that narrative? The overwhelming majority of media picked Tennessee to win. The Vols have been the darling of the media since the Bama game. Wouldn't the media be more inclined to pump a potential rematch?

They will pump a rematch if other teams teams start to lose but right now most are saying we shouldn’t be a playoff team over Oregon, TCU and maybe not the loser of Ohio State/Michigan. The Oregon one is interesting. I think they’ll lose again so it won’t matter and no doubt it TCU wins out (they won’t) they’ll deserve a spot but what say you about a 12-1 Oregon vs an 11-1 UT? I’m curious from a UGA perspective what you think.

On a side note, I think what’s buying a lot of UT fans is that Oregon’s 49-3 loss to you all is being dismissed as first game jitters while our 14 point loss in your stadium is being talked about as if it were a worse beating than your win over Oregon. Every single media person I’ve heard has said Oregon over UT if Oregon wins out.

 

[Volsurance]

Georgia's defense dominated our offense. If we can't fix that and I don't think we can, they will dominate us again next time if there is one.

I don't know. Why don't you ask them DeepSpringsVol? It's not like anyone is asking you to do complicated things like using "a" in front of poster, or use apostrophes to show possession on "teams", or to use "of" instead of on in two separate places, or just saying f-it to commas. You can do this buddy! Go ask them. Even someone with a Kingston or Carter public education can figure this one out.

My two-cents: Tennessee is a better team than Oregon. (I don't think I'm breaking any big news with that take.). Unfortunately for the Vols, when you lose seems to matter (probably too much). Whether it's valid or not, Oregon may get the benefit of the doubt because they lost to UGA game 1, essentially on the road, with a new coach and transfer QB. They've crushed everyone since. If they win out - and I think its likley they do - as a 1 loss conference champ they will pose a serious threat to Tennessee's playoff chances. Everyone also seems convinced TCU is going to lose. I'm not so sure. Which Texas team are they going to see this week...the one that should have beaten Bama or the Longhorn team that lost to Texas Tech and an Okie State team who got destroyed by Kansas and KSU? Then there's the treat of Michigan. If they lose a close one in Columbus, they'll be a threat to the Vols playoff chances.
