    Georgia-Florida Game Predictions

    The Party is finally about to get started. It’s amazing how long an off-week feels following a loss. I always hope we win every game, but I especially prefer winning before off-weeks so the whole 2 weeks are just aglow with a bright future. Coming off such a disappointing loss to Auburn, at first I was happy to have a break; now it just feels like a long time to wear the mantle of a team that lost. I hope the team feels the same way and comes out sharp as razors, ready to slice through the Gators. I mention in this episode that it’s good to remember that Georgia under Kirby always seems to have at least one game a year when people start to talk dismissively about Georgia and doubt creeps into the fanbase, and the Dawgs show up on the field and just destroy the opponent. The example that popped to mind during recording was the 2023 Ole Miss game in Athens. People were questioning UGA some, and Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss were hot and came into Athens ranked #9. The Rebels were a trendy pick to upset Georgia and maybe get into the title discussion. Georgia won the game 52-17 and even Lane Kiffin could only say they got their butts kicked. I’m not confident this is that game for Georgia, but I think Georgia wins by double digits, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t Georgia’s best game of the year. Either way, It’s great to be a Gator Hater! It’s Great to be a Georgia Bulldog! Go Dawgs!

    Get Ready for The World’s Largest Indoor Cocktail Party!

    The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party shifts to the World’s Largest Indoor Cocktail Party as the game reaches Atlanta for the first time. It has occurred in Athens, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Tampa, Savannah, and even Macon, but never Atlanta. The series stands at 58–44–2, favoring UGA by 14 games. Yet UGA held a peak lead of 22 games during my freshman year at UGA. I have seen Florida trim the margin to just 7 games twice, as recently as 2016. Although we have won 11 of the last 15, more success is needed to restore the series to its late-1980s state. That is the strength of history: we add to it daily. As history grows, the narrative shifts. From 1990 to 2010, Florida lived rent-free anywhere it wanted in DawgNation. Historically, however, Georgia controls the series with Florida, including stretches from the early 1900s to the 1940s, again in the 1970s and ’80s, and now across the past 15 years. This year brings added intensity because both teams rank in the Top 25 for the first time in 6 seasons and only the 24th time in series history. Should be fun! It is great to be a Gator hater!

    GATOR HATER WEEK - AUBURN FINAL REVIEW

    It’s Georgia-Florida Week! It’s Gator Hater Week! Florida appears to be a rising program, and after Georgia’s unexpected loss to Auburn last week, you might feel the familiar unease that used to settle in every Bulldog’s stomach as the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party approached. Even so, missing the playoffs, regardless of a loss to Florida seems unlikely because the 12-team playoff that will soon expand to 24 teams. During the ’90s, Florida served as the gatekeeper to the SEC Championship from the Eastern Division. Florida blocked Georgia from that game many times, and nothing significant could occur without reaching and winning it. Now Georgia fans are unsure they even want to play in the soon-to-be-defunct SEC Championship Game. National championships are the priority, and qualifying for the field allows a run, as 2024 Ohio State demonstrated. The stakes may have shifted, but Florida is raising the pressure anyway. Before shifting focus entirely to Florida, we should review the Auburn game once more to determine whether that loss was a one-off or a sign of concern. Go Dawgs! This is a public episode.

    Georgia-Auburn Preview

    Auburn vs. Georgia used to always be in November. It was cold, and sometimes each team created bitter despair for the other by handing them the loss that kept them from glory. They may not have won the SEC, but at least their rival wasn’t going to win either. The series is one of the longest-running in the nation: 134 years old, 130 games played. As recently as 2014 it was tied at 55-55-8 after 118 meetings. Only 1 point separated the teams after 104 meetings in 2000. I was at the 1996 game at Auburn when the Tigers tried to run for the game-winning touchdown with about 22 seconds and no timeouts. The ball came loose; there was confusion. Auburn had the ball and tried to line up and try again. Georgia players were in no hurry. The clock hit zero, and the game ended. Auburn people were livid and crying foul. Georgia people just grinned and took it all in. Nothing is quite as satisfying as beating a bitter rival. Sometimes you almost wish it’s close just to tease them, but then you remember a good butt-kicking is good too. Auburn has lost 9 in a row in the series and fallen 10 games behind in the long-standing record books. This doesn’t look like the Auburn team to turn things around, and this doesn’t look like the Georgia team to try to break a streak against. Sometimes crazy things happen in these types of games, but I hope not today… This is a public episode.

    Georgia-Alabama Final Wrap Up

    Blown calls are part of all sports. What’s the most egregious blown call of all time? Recency bias says the latest blown call in a big game is the worst you’ve ever seen. Was it PI? Yes, looks like it. Had the call been made, would it have changed the outcome of the game? Very uncertain. Does Georgia get an asterisk on this game? Did Bama get an asterisk for the 2017 National Championship since Tyler Simmons was, say it with me, “ON SIDE!” No. Everybody legitimately recognizes that Tide Team as National Champion. Tyler Simmons doesn’t justify KJ Bolden, but it does provide context. Close, hard-fought games between equally matched teams magnify the calls that are made or not made throughout the game. There were 121 plays in Saturday’s game. Each contributed to the ultimate outcome, but no one play won or lost the game because the next play is determined by the play before it. It’s too hard to unwind the thousands, if not millions, of outcomes that could unfold by changing one play here or there in a game. Georgia fans have scoured the slow-motion footage and found holds not called, personal fouls not called, and other violations. The main difference between those and the plays we are all talking about today is that Georgia won the game and those plays were not highlighted by national tv broadcast. Had Georgia lost, the significance of the missed calls in their favor would be more meaningful, like in 2018. Only the losing team takes to the podium to say they were robbed. Most of the blown calls In the Georgia-Alabama series prior to Saturday seem to be in favor of Alabama, and Georgia was the team crying foul. That’s because UGA lost most of those games. Today, Alabama fans are aggrieved because they lost on Saturday. In some ways, I suspect many Georgia fans are just as happy to see the shoe on the other foot as they were to cheer the win. Today’s Podcast features: A quick introduction to the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry A segment featuring how compelling Saturday’s game was and the historical significance for Georgia in several ways. Full Breakdown of the officiating of the game. A full breakdown of how the game played out as I called it would and how Georgia won fairly convincingly when you look at the numbers.

    UGA v Bama Final Picks - Braves Wrap

    Georgia and Alabama have contested the SEC or National Championship seven times in their last eleven meetings. This marks the fifth occasion they have played on campus since 2020, including the third game in Tuscaloosa. When UGA last visited Alabama, the sport produced an instant classic. Alabama surged to a 28–0 lead right away. Georgia rallied through the remainder of the contest, seizing a 34–33 advantage with 2:31 left. Bama then overcame Georgia with a 75-yard touchdown on the next offensive play, having scored only five points since early in the second quarter. This matchup carries the potential for a similar event. Both teams enter at 5–0 and rank within the top six. Each side features high-output offenses ranked first and second in points scored, alongside talented and aggressive defenses. Neither team has faced an opponent of comparable caliber. Both will be tested by the end of the night, but only one will remain undefeated. Yet will it matter beyond bragging rights? Probably not. Both are expected to be favored in most, if not all, remaining games, and both are likely to meet again in the SEC Championship Game or qualify for the twelve-team College Football Playoff field. Still, bragging rights are good! Go Dawgs! PS – Today we begin with a final word on a thrilling and fun 2026 season for the Atlanta Braves. This is a public episode.

    Big Week in the South - UGA v Bama - Braves in the Playoffs

    Most UGA fans, if they are also baseball fans, are probably Braves fans. Most Alabama fans, if they are baseball fans, are also probably Braves fans. I am a huge fan of both the Braves and Georgia. My first and oldest sports fan memories are of going to Atlanta Fulton County Stadium when I was five to watch the Braves play. Among the memorabilia in my office is a shadow box with my first baseball cap, which I believe was purchased at my first-ever Braves game, which I believe was also my first-ever live sporting event. Actually, just today, my father asked me if I remember seeing Hank Aaron play? He asked, not remembering himself whether we went to see the Braves play with Hank Aaron still among the players on the field. I have no memory of seeing Aaron play. I’m pretty sure that my first game was in 1976. Hank still played that year, but for Milwaukee, not the Braves. I feel like if I had seen him play, I would know that… I do know that I have witnessed, as a Georgia fan, 19 meetings of UGA vs. Alabama in 40 seasons of Georgia Football. Georgia is just 6 and 13 in those match ups. The worst record against any team during those 40 years. The first 8 were played between 1990 and 2008 and were all regular-season, home-and-away matchups. Georgia was 4–4 in those games. That was just 8 matchups in 18 seasons. My wife, a Bama grad and former recruiter for the Tide, and I were married 7 years before the teams played for the first time. In the 11 games since 2012, 7 of the contests were neutral-site games for either the SEC Championship or the National Championship. Georgia is 1-4 in SEC Championships against the Tide and 1-1 in National Championship matchups. 0-4 in the other regular-season contests. This week, Georgia faces Alabama for the first scheduled meeting of the year. The 2 teams could easily end up in the worst-case scenario of playing each other three times this season. This game will likely settle nothing. Nothing but bragging rights. For the rare moment Georgia has that on the Tide, having beaten them thoroughly for the SEC Championship last year in the second meeting, 28-7. This game seems more likely to look like the game the last time the two played in Tuscaloosa, with Alabama winning 41-34. Maybe we can all at least enjoy a group “Chop” if the Braves can find enough hitting to beat the Dodgers and advance to the NCLS for the first time since the last time the Braves beat the Dodgers in a postseason series, in 2021 when they beat the Dodgers to advance to the World Series.

    2026 Week 5 - Homecoming & Playoff Baseball

    It’s week 5 of the 2026 College Football Season and Homecoming for Georgia. Vanderbilt is in Athens to serve as the Homecoming opponent as they have many times before. This is not the bottom of the SEC Vanderbilt of years before, but it’s also not the Diego Pavia’s Vanderbilt of the 2024-2025 seasons. Jared Curtis, one-time UGA commit and former 5-star prospect, leads Vandy at QB and is playing well and showing lots of athleticism, but not enough to carry the team on his back quite like his predecessor. Georgia is a more than 25-point favorite, and we expect covering the line to be well within reach. A bigger concern might be just continuing the offensive efficiency Georgia has displayed in all but the 3rd quarter of last week’s game against Oklahoma. For UGA fans who are also Braves fans, the butterflies in the belly are only likely to come on just after the Georgia game, around 4pm when first pitch in the NDLS is thrown and the Braves take on the Dodgers in LA. The Dodgers will be heavily favored in the series and to win the World Series, but the Braves have beaten the Dodgers 5 of 6 times this season and beat the Dodgers the last time they faced each other in the postseason, which was in the 2021 NLCS. The SEC and the Top 25 have a few interesting games to keep an eye on this weekend, including Ohio State facing a second big test on the road at Iowa and Alabama visiting suddenly scary Mississippi State. If Bama wins, GameDay may be visiting Tuscaloosa when UGA comes to town next week for a potential Top 7 - Top 5 matchup. The College Football Playoff leadership is meeting with ESPN to find the money it will take to finally kill off the last bit of drama left in the regular season by trying to expand the Playoff to 24 teams.
