Show Highlights:

We are back! Sorry we missed you yesterday. I’ve been working on getting the video podcast up and going, and yesterday that caused so many technical snafus that it undermined the regular audio podcast as well.

The Tennessee game was a statement game for UGA, but we made several, not just one, statement. The more I think about it, the more impressive some of those statements are relative this season of college football.

Big takeaway… The SEC still goes through the Dawgs!

Join the podcast, and we will break it down…

Go Dawgs!

One of the great memories of Georgia Football for me will be from the Tennessee game last week. I will never forget the images of Tennessee fans cheering the win as the football went through the uprights on the final play of regulation or at least as they thought.

But the ball did not go through the goalposts. It was wide right and by a healthy margin. But thousands of Tennessee fans saw it differently in real time. I have no idea what happened, but it only makes the 9th win in a row in the series that much sweeter.

Cleaning up a few things that got left out of the show notes from the last 2 days, and today we start on breaking down the teams and the games that will matter when the selection committee picks the participants for this year’s playoff.

Go Dawgs!

Show Highlights:

More just celebrating and observations from the first big contest of the season last week are the order of the day today.

It was a big game for both teams, but it’s possible that both Georgia and Tennessee came out ahead in perception in this game, even though Tennessee was the loser and Georgia continued the hex on the Volunteers.

Gunner Stockton is the SEC Offensive Player of the Week, and Peyton Woodring is the Special Teams Player of the Week.

We just bounce around today, continuing to unpack the game and results.

Come on and listen. Leave some comments. I would love to hear from you too.

Go Dawgs!

Show Highlights:

Well, the Dawgs did it again, and this time in agonizing fashion for Tennessee fans, winning a game that Tennessee probably thought they’d win after the first quarter, then maybe thought they’d lost by the third quarter, and finally expected to finish off with a walk-off kick at the end of regulation.

However, it was regulation end, not the end of the game, and Georgia would own the single overtime and win the 9th straight in the series!

This podcast is mostly a stream of conscious reactions to what we saw, what others said, and a little about what it means.

Will will continue to break down the stats and the details as the week goes, but let’s celebrate as we go!

Go Dawgs!

Game Breakdown and Predictions - Part 2

Today, we finish breaking down the game and come to our prediction for the game.

We finish looking at the Georgia Offense vs. the Tennessee Defense.

We talk more about the coaching and the intangibles and circle back to discuss the unique nature of the Tennessee offense and why Georgia has had success against it.

We note analysis from Joel Klatt, Aaron Murray, and Seth Emerson along the way.

Finally, we get a game that should make us a little nervous heading up to game time. What’s going to happen?

Dive into The Daily Dawg Podcast and find out what we think…

Sic’em! Woof! Woof! Woof!

Game Breakdown and Predictions - Part 1

It’s not rocket science to break a football game down to its most basic parts. Tomorrow’s big game will come down to:

* The Tennessee Offense vs. The Georgia Defense

* The Georgia Offense vs. The Tennessee Defense

* Special Teams and intangibles

Pretty obvious, I realize, but a good starting point to break it down.

What’s going to happen?

* Tennessee could blow out Georgia

* Georgia could blow out Tennessee

* Could be a toss-up - either team could win

Again -pretty obvious, but a good way to dig into what I think is most likely.

Jump in and let’s talk about it!

Go Dawgs!

Show Highlights:

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it… Maybe Tennessee keeps trying to forget what has happened the last 8 years in this series, and that’s why they keep repeating it…

If so, let’s hope they remain goldfish (no memory) as we approach this week’s game. I doubt it. I bet that Tennessee fans want this game more than any on their schedule this year thanks to that 8-game losing streak.

We are going a little deeper into the last 30-35 years of the UGA-Tenn series history to help get us good and ready for this game. We will not forget…

We will start breaking down game details and matchups tomorrow and Saturday as we close in on the big SEC opener for the Dawgs!

Go Dawgs!

Show Highlights:

With this show, I have in mind the episode of the West Wing called “Take Out the Trash Day.” Although in that episode, the White House staff was dumping out news and bills they hoped would not draw a lot of attention.

There is nothing here I’m trying to throw out so nobody notices. In fact, everything I put out, I freely admit that I’m hoping as many people as possible find it. But this episode does turn out to be a collection of notes and unfinished thoughts from the last couple of days. A few things I didn’t get a chance to say before without wandering too far off topic.

There’s a little more history and perspective on Tennessee and the series between them and Georgia. There’s also a little discussion on the AP poll and betting lines.

Hope you enjoy this little mishmash before we start really breaking down the game matchups and build toward our final predictions later in the week.

Go Dawgs!

Show Highlights:

UGA has an 8-game winning streak against Tennessee, and I want to see us win at least 10 in a row before we lose that streak. I explain how being haunted by history drives this crazy need to keep beating Tennessee in today’s podcast.

We start our in-depth look at Tennessee this week by looking at the coaching match-up between Josh Heupel and Kirby Smart. We examine Heupel’s record the last four seasons since he took over Tennessee and restored them to respectability.

Go Dawgs!

Show Highlights:

What a weird Saturday in Athens! I don’t know that I have ever been to one like it.

On the way to the game, I find out suddenly that I have no time to wander the tailgate scene, but I better hurry if I want to get there before the game starts. Then, stoking many Dawg fans’ worst fears, we go out there and make the Governors of Austin Peay look like something more than a tiny team from a tiny conference. Meanwhile, the rest of the top 25 seems to be beating their hired opponents into the turf.

Then we have a nearly 2-hour storm delay. We essentially, including warm-ups and all, got to see two short games separated by a long delay and some heavy rain.

But how did the Dawgs do? Well, they didn’t meet most of our expectations. But let’s break it down and see what we can glean from the experience…
