After a painful 27-day wait, the Georgia Bulldogs finally take the field today in the Quarterfinals of the College Football Playoffs. Hopefully, this year, the layoff curse is not a problem.

Miami has already won the first quarterfinal game, so we know who we will play if we win this game. It will be the seemingly fated match-up with Carson Beck and the Miami Hurricanes.

First, we have to play our second rematch in a row of a regular-season game we’ve already played. This time, we play the Kiffin-less Ole Miss Rebels, who led Georgia by 9 points late in the last match-up.

Hopefully, Georgia controls the game a little more convincingly and sets up the big-time semifinal that many will be excited for and many never wanted to see…

GoDawgs!

It’s been 16 days since Georgia has played a football game on the field.

But what a game it was… Georgia finally getting the Alabama elephant all the way off its back! I’m still just smiling several times a day every time I think about it.

And while it sucks to have such a long break in a great season like this when you just wish you could keep the hits coming, it’s kind of fun to sit back and watch others, including some of our rivals and conference mates, go out and play while we relax.

Not to mention, most every game now features upcoming opponents we may have to play to win a 3rd National Championship in the last five years!

Let’s take a look at the games so far and upcoming as we look ahead to Georgia’s path to that possible 2025 National Championship.

Go Dawgs!

Beat Bama Week 2 was a resounding success!

This truly feels like breaking through the one last glass ceiling Georgia Football was running into. This is the catharsis we all needed and wanted.

Even I, as I was watching it, felt both at ease that the Dawgs were taking care of business and the sense that it’s not over until it’s over. I didn’t really even panic much when Bama scored to cut it to 21-7. Still felt like Georgia had just controlled this game too much to find any way to lose.

As the game was ending, I just started to have the satisfied grin that you can’t get rid of even when someone tells you that you have it and you think you should be more discreet.

I also thought to myself, “Cole Spear was Frickin’ onside!”

GoDawgs!

I wandered through some last-minute thoughts and feelings about the game and the upcoming playoffs.

I did not end up going through my traditional three key matchup and three true outcomes to build to my prediction for the game.

By the end, I gave you my thoughts on who I thought would win and how the game will flow. Honestly, we’ve already done the traditional breakdown on this game once, and I really don’t think it’s that much different.

These teams are very close in every important way statistically, with one major internal difference. That being Georgia is better at running the ball and stopping the run. I think that’s why many people seem to be leaning Georgia in this game… me too!

GoDawgs!

It’s Beat Bama Week! It’s SEC Championship Week!

For the 5th straight year and 8 of the last 9 years, Georgia is playing in the SEC Championship Game. Back in the 90s, I used to wonder if we were ever going to play in at least 1 of these games…

This time we get extra motivation in the form of redemption if we can Beat Bama! We’ve lost 10 of 11 to the Tide, but nothing can make that feeling any better than celebrating on the field in front of them and their fans, winning the SEC, and building huge momentum heading into the playoffs!

I’m ready! How ‘bout you? How ‘bout them Dawgs?

GoDawgs!

For the 8th straight year, Georgia beats the North Avenue Trade School’s pesky Yellow Jackets in football! It wasn’t a thing of beauty other than the end result, but there was a lot of good and some concerning things to talk about.

And that is what we do here at The Daily Dawg! We talk about it.

Come on and join the podcast and don’t forget to share with friends and family a like. Everybody deserves to enjoy beating Georgia Tech!

GoDawgs!

It’s Friday and it’s game day! The final regular season game of the season!

Time for the 117th edition of “Clean Old Fashioned Hate,” where the Bulldogs take on the Bees from the North Avenue Trade School.

Georgia is nearly a 2-touchdown favorite, but Georgia Tech is ranked in the Top 25 and is having one of its best seasons in recent memory. Last year, they pushed Georgia to the edge with an 8-overtime all-time classic game.

But can they do it again, or is Georgia still too strong for the upset? Georgia is peaking, and Tech is suddenly struggling, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything in a hate match like this…

Let’s break down and predict the winner… Should be the Dawgs, right?

GoDawgs!

Who is Georgia Tech as a program? What is the state of the Georgia Tech program? This Dawgs fan uses this episode to break down the recent history of Georgia Tech, especially how it relates to UGA.

To beat your enemy, you have to know your enemy…

Come and tune out your family this Thanksgiving afternoon and listen to The Daily Dawg instead!

GoDawgs!

It’s Hate Week! That’s the name for the week of the Georgia-Georgia Tech Game that is known as “Clean Old Fashioned Hate.”

We have a special week and a special game this year, although the bees are doing their best to try to ruin the whole thing. Three weeks ago, we were looking at a potential top 10 match-up of undefeated teams squaring off with playoff implications on the line.

Now Tech has lost 2 of 3, one to a bad NC State team, and the luster or shine has come off the game a little bit. It’s still at least an AP Top 25 matchup between #4 and #23, so that’s a lot better than recent years.

Lots to talk about this week with the last game of the regular season and the big rival game on hand.

Come on in and join the conversation this week…

Go Dawgs!

Dawgs will win! Hopefully, a lot of young guys will play, and play well, and no one will get hurt.

Time to send off the seniors!

Possibly, probably the last game at Sanford Stadium this year…

We consider the SEC Championship and the Playoffs today, and I explain a new Power Metric I’m working on for college football…

Go Dawgs!
