Game Thread: Sugar Bowl (ND vs UGA) (ESPN | Jan 2 at 3pm CST)

I "ride for the brand."
1. Jesus Christ
2. Alabama
3. SEC

I was pulling for UGA.

the rest of the SEC hates Alabama. screw them all. I live in Georgia and have to deal with these weird delusional arrogant nutjobs and they can lose every single game until the end of time.

 

[OconeeTide]

I think PSU beats them and then loses to Ohio State in the big game

agreed. I just dont see no one beating OSU.

 

[Con]

Georgia’s defense played good enough to win. Their WR’s were lacking.

 

[92tide]

georgia got mauled. i was expecting this in either this game or the next. they've been playing with fire all year

 

[Krymsonman]

Somehow I’ve found the ND radio broadcast on a YouTube stream and these guys are shockingly balanced in their coverage. There has been a few cracks on the refs favoring Georgia, but there is actual excitement when Georgia makes a big play, for example. I’ve never heard a homer radio broadcast like this.

Well, I thought the refs were okay, but missed a couple of potential PI calls on ND. Georgia shot themselves in the foot several times and it cost them.

I live an hour from Athens...... im gonna have fun tommorow at work

Well, this is a good ND team, but I'm never going to pull for them until they get in a conference and have to play a real schedule, championship game etc. They're pretty rested and feeling good at the end of the year when all of the other teams are beat up. Geez, now I have to pull for State Penn.

I don’t think people understand this. The more success Notre Dame has the longer they will play a cupcake schedule and get into the playoffs.

I mean it was light hearted most likely due to the way the game had unfolded. Because after the game ended all of a sudden the play by play guy goes on rant about ND smoking a big bad SEC team.

Side note: is it just me or does Laura Rutledge not look like Laura Rutledge anymore?

I mentioned that yesterday. I could not recognize her during earlier playoff games. Then today thought maybe the angle of camera made the face distorted.

 

[Bazza]

Jawga now has their “If only Colt hadn’t gotten hurt” moment!!

Sure but this was a much more competitive game than yours with Texas. But I don't see them saying that. Their backup was pretty good - and a warrior.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

Every team that had a bye has now lost! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Well everyone who wanted this expanded field got what they wanted.

They thought teams outside the Top 4 deserved a shot.

They were right except they turned out to be 4 additional historically great programs

tOSU
Texas
ND
Penn State

Whoops

 

[day-day]

I did not know the Notre Dame quarterback was from Fairhope.

 

[CrimsonBloodn62]

Kirby can't win an NC unless he plays a soft schedule and is able to keep his players fresh and healthy. He probably will not win another NC again.

There will be excuses galore on the Atlanta news this week

Dont know why Bama didnt go after him

I'm thinking that given the situation in college football with tougher schedules and NIL/portal Saban's record of 7 NC's may never be broken. I used to think Kirby had a shot but I no longer feel that way.

I think you'll have a nice winter, spring, and summer coming up.

 

[TideEngineer08]

I just saw a highlight of UGA’s 39 penalty on the sideline. Dude didn’t have pads on! You’ve got to leave the team after that.

I guarantee the white zone penalty will be mentioned many many times. Beck will be brought up too. They will also tasteless mention the game being postponed and say they should have played the game as scheduled.
