Special Guest Introduction
00:00:45
Speaker
All right, special guest for the Florida Review episode, ah stepping in for for John. So i know i don't know what the cold open is going to be, but assuming there was one, probably sounded a little different. So this is my youngest, Lily, who we talk about on the podcast frequently. Lily, welcome to my God of Podcast for the Florida Review episode.
00:01:09
Speaker
Thank you. Thank you. I'm so glad to be here. I'm so glad that i was spontaneously asked this when I was leaving my house today if I wanted to help review the Florida game. Yes. Yes. Very short notice. This is the this is how we do things on My God of Podcast. We kind of, you know, we fly by the seat of our pants, as they say.
Game Predictions and Highlights
00:01:28
Speaker
um So if John was here, I think the way we would have opened is our traditional joke of just as we predicted. And my point, I want to know John isn't here, so I'm going to give him his flowers because what I wanted to say, John's score prediction for this game was actually 31 20. Hold
00:01:49
Speaker
twenty wait and all um Yeah, so his score prediction was 31-20. So what I want to point out to everyone is, like yes, we did not predict the flow of the game to go the way it did, obviously. like We did not say like Georgia would be losing in the fourth quarter.
00:02:05
Speaker
Not something we predicted. However, if Gunner doesn't take a knee and scores a touchdown, or if Ellis Robinson... has a pick six, John would have had the score exactly right because it ended Edwin Moore touchdown, John nailed it.
00:02:22
Speaker
So just wanted to call that out. Shout out JP. Love that for him. And hey, i mean I mean, I think it was a very iconic moment of Gunnar taking a knee there.
00:02:34
Speaker
Yes. where where Where did he get that idea from? i mean I mean, the Auburn game, he really really learned from Kirby yelling at him on the sidelines. Didn't want to have the ire of Kirby again, oh ah having already experienced it in the Auburn And not only was it the right choice, but it was also very funny.
00:02:52
Speaker
so I think the now also almost as iconic part of Gunnar taking the knee is now that we've like gone back and looked at the footage and we see that Oscar Delp took a knee first.
Game Viewing Experience
00:03:04
Speaker
he wasn't gunner wasn't even the first one to take a knee it was almost as if oscar dove was reminding gunner to take a knee very true very true um okay so i wanted to kind of start with that i guess generally we usually just kind talk about our saturdays in general how was your viewing experience what did you do to watch the game lily um well i mean it was kind of cold outside so i watched it from my tv um yeah that's it was it was so fun We had the three TV experience, right? We had it for a brief brief period before it got a little bit too chilly.
00:03:40
Speaker
um I love my three TVs. I have informed some of my friends about it, and they make fun of me a lot for it but they just don't understand that you need to have three TVs.
00:03:53
Speaker
what What would we do if we didn't have all three TVs to watch all these games? You got to have the multi-view experience, and especially in a weekend where, as YouTube TV subscribers... Oh no.
00:04:04
Speaker
We didn't have the standard multi-view available to us. We had to do the three unique TVs. So we had the three games going on, but all over the antenna. Yes. I think is generally what we were doing, right?
00:04:15
Speaker
Yeah. no is No ESPN. So I don't know. I guess pro tip for all of you out there who were without um YouTube TV, always have a backup powered antenna in the attic.
00:04:27
Speaker
And then you can always watch if it's on ABC. Although not so lucky for the next game because it'll be on ESPN. So we're going to have to figure that out. We'll see. Okay. um
Georgia vs Florida Game Analysis
00:04:36
Speaker
So, yeah. So, we did that. Oh, we stayed up to to the end of the game. We had the fire going. Yeah.
00:04:40
Speaker
The fire going. We had the, we had bean dip. You had your wings. I had chicken wings. They were burnt, but you can't always have the best chicken wings.
00:04:51
Speaker
I didn't make them myself. Yeah, no. Okay. Okay, my bad. Next time, I'll have to make them, make them myself. um Okay, so what for the game itself, how, don't this is probably, want to say this is maybe the closest Georgia-Florida game that you've watched, right?
00:05:09
Speaker
i I would definitely have to agree with that one because i remember last year being so stressed out about the Georgia-Florida game and now looking back at it, compared to this year, it was nowhere near as anxious.
00:05:21
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. This is with these, these young Georgia fans like you, you don't have the, like, we used to lose every game. I don't remember this. I wasn't alive. And if I was alive, I definitely was not watching football.
00:05:35
Speaker
Yeah. True. True. so yeah. So, I don't know. Close game. Started the game. We get the ball first, right? Which we usually always want to receive. so we don't have that.
00:05:45
Speaker
Yeah. So, we get the ball the ball. But then we just, i mean. March. March down the field. Yeah. It was amazing. It was beautiful. Little did we know that would not continue. Yeah. Yeah, you always you start off with that scripted drive and you want to see... i mean, that's the thing that we've been asking for, though, right? Yeah. We want the fast start. Start off strong. Yeah.
00:06:03
Speaker
Yeah. So it started off great. Great opening drive. I think Gunner looked well. I think that we were kind of mixing it up and everything. Then you capped it off with... a touchdown pass, the unofficial, official receiver of my got a podcast and Dylan bell.
00:06:17
Speaker
And like, things are off and rolling. We're, know, hitting the gifts on Twitter with the months in touchdown. Uh, we got the Dylan bell beating his chest, you know? Um, and it felt really good. And then things kind of take a bit of a turn, I guess you would say. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:34
Speaker
um which i guess really when you think about it it kind of all started with unfortunately with the short punt from thorson right yeah and it was really odd because we don't typically see thorson do punts like that we typically have very very good ones typically give them a really long field but it was very odd yeah very a rare a rare yeah yeah mr it was very weird I think it was like a, I think it was 25. It was 20. It was 25 yards. So 25 yard punt.
00:07:02
Speaker
And then they've got the one play touchdown drive. Only one play. Um, which again, like looking at that, looking back at that, um I don't know really how much film review, ah and because you don't have, you don't have TikTok, but I'm like on the Instagram,
00:07:20
Speaker
um I believe, from what I recall, like one of the safeties, I think, stepped up, basically, like thought Lagway was going to run. Yes. Steps forward and then threw right over his head. Yeah.
00:07:31
Speaker
And, hey, in my opinion, having one really big play is much better than them doing a bunch of really small plays and showing that our defense was doing poorly. And now that may be different, but to me, that doesn't necessarily show that Jordan was doing awful. It was just one small mistake in that second that caused a simple touchdown.
00:07:51
Speaker
okay okay i like that i like that way to way to look at things um so you need to like say these things to me during the game to keep me more calm they calm me down um very angry lots of screaming though i do contribute to that a lot so what why don't you tell the people what we heard from the people around us when florida scored that touchdown so are we talking about our neighbors yes so um so we may or may not have been receiving messages from some of our neighbors saying that we were very loud and that they could hear us but we also there was also a horn yes yes um but we've always been very loud and i don't think i've ever had an experience where we i've at least got called out by our neighbors but i thought it was really hilarious to me at least
00:08:42
Speaker
Yeah, we were basically being like, I would say we were being heckled by our friends. Like anytime Florida would do something good, ah there was a group that was watching the Charlotte FC soccer match, playoff match.
00:08:55
Speaker
And so they were gathered to watch that. So they've got like a vuvuzela to make all the noises when they do things. So we kept hearing that and being like, I kept saying, did Charlotte score? Yeah, and i I kept checking the score. nothing Literally nothing was happening in that game.
00:09:10
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. So I had a conversation with them on Sunday and confirmed they were just messing with us. So they had the Charlotte FC game on and Georgia, Florida, and decided to heckle us from the end of the street. Well, sadly, it worked because it made us mad.
00:09:23
Speaker
Yeah, so we definitely heard that on the long touchdown pass. So then, so I think if I'm remembering right, so then I think it's, so then we got the tie game. then we're coming back down and then we had the unfortunate interception
00:09:39
Speaker
noah thomas man i definitely i remember in that moment being like who is this kid and and why did he not catch i was like we've because we've always been having these issues especially last year and we've been getting a lot better our receivers have been getting a lot better at catching less lot less butterfingers and then i remember and the touchdown pass to Noah Thomas and when I saw that and I was like wait minute that's the kid that didn't catch the ball and caused the interception and I immediately was like I forgive him I'm so sorry for being mad at you Noah hope you can forgive me i hope you never hear all of these bad things I said about you
00:10:21
Speaker
but that touchdown I feel like really brought back our team and it really not just score wise but emotionally and it really brought us back together and I think it showed us that we we knew we could keep moving and if if Noah Thomas can score then maybe everyone can score because I'm not no i hating on Noah Thomas I love you Noah Thomas but Yeah, i mean, and that, that like capped off the end of like that, like that middle eight, right? So like that's a big, Kirby's big thing is you want to win the middle eight.
00:10:56
Speaker
And so that touchdown to Noah Thomas after we, we stopped them to start second half. Yes. We did touchdown. So that combined with getting the field goal to tie the game, right? At the end of the first half.
00:11:07
Speaker
Which i think ah maybe this is a good time to talk about the... I guess there was at least at least two, I would say probably three, I guess, plays that were kind of controversial. So the first being, did Gunnar fumble versus the incomplete pass, right? Because it looked like we thought he had fumbled.
00:11:25
Speaker
We thought he had fumbled. And then they had the ball, but then they reviewed it and it was incomplete. And I keep on seeing people say... how and How are you saying, like, oh, this this is fumble. But there was clear, in my opinion, he had control when the ball was moving forward, and therefore it is an incomplete pass.
Key Game Moments and Controversies
00:11:45
Speaker
Even if they're hit, like, if they didn't completely make the pass, he didn't throw it at himself even before he was hit. that's not the ruling, that's not how rules work exactly.
00:11:56
Speaker
So, it's like you can remember that. But also, it definitely, in my opinion, it definitely looked like he had possession and control when the ball was moving forward, but that is a short window.
00:12:07
Speaker
and also, it's very hard to tell during the game with the review yes and the how amazingly they handle showing us review footage.
00:12:20
Speaker
It's true. i do. That's, that's one where I do wish the SEC would adopt what the ACC is doing with the live look in and seeing what they're seeing and hearing what they're talking about. I feel like would be really cool, but. um I agree with you. And I think in general, like I thought it wasn't complete as well.
00:12:35
Speaker
My only thing is like, if you watch those things over the years, I feel like it's changed. And like, I just think I, all I could think of was national championship game against Alabama, the Stetsons fumble.
00:12:46
Speaker
It was similar. I actually do think there is a difference though. Like if you could look at the two, like, Gunner did have control when his hand started going forward or with Stetson. It was kind of starting to slip. off writing So i think that's the difference.
00:12:58
Speaker
um Okay. So there was that. So yeah, so that then enables us to get the field goal. Yes. um They had a really long field goal too, by the way. So shout out to their kicker.
00:13:08
Speaker
No, their takeer their kicker was doing amazing. He was. And they even had like a really high snap. Yeah, that was really weird. Yeah. Very odd. Okay, so so yeah, so then, so then like we said, we get the ball, or they get the ball, we shut them down. um Then we're able to just to score first with that pass to Noah Thomas. and then But then it was kind of, again, like it just kind of like we kind of went into a lull offensively, I feel like.
00:13:37
Speaker
Which we typically start off like that and it was very weird because i feel like typically once we get to that point in the game is typically when we start to pick up the pace and we start to get our lives together.
00:13:49
Speaker
But it almost like shifted like the start of the game. We're on top of it. We knew what we were doing and then the middle of the game and then like the second third of the game that just chunk like the third quarter.
00:14:02
Speaker
it almost felt like we didn't know what we were doing mainly. And it was really weird because typically that is where we realize, oh, we've got to actually win this game. yeah Yeah. Yeah. No, it's true.
00:14:13
Speaker
um I do feel like the, I mean, i don't know, like with the, with the defense to your point, right. That first touchdown being like one play, 40 yards. Yeah. um Then they had the short field for the field goal on the interception.
00:14:29
Speaker
um So I don't know, I guess it wasn't really long sustained drives, except for the one that was, right? they took For them to get that their last touchdown, that was like, whoa, what just happened? Yeah, exactly.
00:14:43
Speaker
But don I guess after that, it changed. But like part of it, too, though, is it's like we're down K.J. Bolden, right? Because he gets ejected for targeting. So you got that. We were already down Kyron Jones. So we've got guys in there in the secondary playing. I had no clue who like half half the people were. Actually, I don't even know that we talked about this. Do you even know who number two who was playing safety, who that is?
00:15:07
Speaker
um if I went over to the kitchen counter and I grabbed my paper that gave me all the the names of the players, I would know. Fair enough. and ah Let me say this. his So he's number two. There's another player on our team who is number one less than his, and that's his brother.
00:15:26
Speaker
It's Branch. So that's actually Zachariah. Well, if he had told me that his last name was Branch, I would have remembered. But i sometimes I just forget numbers. That's all good. That's all good. So, yeah, so you got Zion Branch really playing his first, like, meaningful playing time. And, I mean, I think he did and think you did pretty good. Yeah, definitely, especially for your first time. And in such an area, in such an environment, being in Florida Stadium for your first, like, real game, putting in a huge amount of effort, he did amazing.
00:15:54
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. He really did. i mean, he made some big plays, made some big tackles. Yes. So he he he played well. And then, I mean, I think – CJ Allen just continues. CJ Allen, I swear, I said it once and I'll say it again. He was our team for a good chunk of that game.
00:16:12
Speaker
He appeared and I would be like, oh, there he is again. CJ Allen. I think to me, the play when was like DJ Lagway was running, like did like the zone read. He's running to the left and watching on TV. was like, oh no, like he's going, he's going, he's going to score. And then CJ appeared out of nowhere.
00:16:34
Speaker
He comes in there and just like dives in there and takes him down. and it was like, to me, I think what i texted it in my text thread with like John and John and Hunter was like, mean, that was like a Roquan Smith, like N'Kobe Dean type play, right? Where you've got our inside linebackers like really like taking over and yeah tracking those guys down. And I typically get scared when there's just one guy from Georgia and trying to make a tackle because we always, we miss quite, quite, quite a bit, but genuinely,
00:17:04
Speaker
I think cg c CJ Allen just immediately when I saw that he was the one who made it, I was like, yeah, yeah, I see. It's CJ Allen. I have so much faith in him.
00:17:16
Speaker
Sounds right. Sounds right. I do too. I do too. um I did. i skipped something. I was looking at my, we have a few notes. The one thing I meant to talk about Don't expose us. When we talk about, yeah, yeah. Nothing to see right now.
00:17:29
Speaker
When you, we the Noah Thomas touchdown that he scored. um I know we've got some people out there that are like the Bobo haters, right? They don't like, they don't like the Bobo. I love you Bobo. Run the dang ball Bobo. But the the play design Noah Thomas' touchdown was so good because you've got, like, how many times do we run that play where Zachariah Brands just kind of like, runs out in the flat, right? And we just throw it to him immediately, and then he does his jump stop, you know, and, like, zigzags everywhere.
00:17:56
Speaker
So, like, that play, that's basically what it looked like was going to happen. Exactly. It was such an amazing fake because everybody always immediately sees Branch on the field, and they're like, oh, short pass to Branch. But...
00:18:08
Speaker
that definitely did not happen and us deciding to make that choice and it was an amazing fake play because it looked so genuinely real yeah yeah it was well set up that's the thing it's like you're setting it up all game you're setting up to setting up and then finally this one time they're expecting thomas to block right four branch and then he just runs right and he was wide open was beautiful exactly yeah so that was a cool play that was a cool play um i guess so there was that there was the guess the other controversial play that i feel like went against us would be the did dj lagway fumble or not because like remember when he's like stretching out with the ball and they said he was down and like feel like i feel like the ball was coming loose
00:18:51
Speaker
So I remember this very well. I remember they kept on freezing the frames and stuff. And that's the thing is you can't freeze the final frame right when it's hitting the ground.
00:19:03
Speaker
Because from what I could see was it hit his hand. it was He was holding it. It fell out. And then when his hand was going to the ground and when the ball was hitting the ground, his hand remade contact with the ball.
00:19:16
Speaker
yeah So there was a brief moment where he dropped it And you can't, that that's not how that works. That's how I saw it too. That's how I saw it too. So there was, um maybe this is to remind the Florida fan fans who are all upset about the other play and about to get to them. Right. So then, so then you get the play where, shoot, I don't even remember what down it was.
00:19:38
Speaker
It was, but when they've got the, you know the long, know, The long pass play where, i mean, my one question is, I'm still, ah can I kind need to go back and look and try to figure out how that guy was so open. have no clue. For one thing. But so i um I presume, I'm guessing, my guess is, again, we thought Lagway was running maybe and kind of started sneaking up to try to tackle him.
00:19:59
Speaker
Also, he was really far downfield. So maybe they thought he couldn't throw it that far. It's a huge possibility. They might have, especially with his interceptions that he was throwing earlier in the season, the amount, I mean, they're probably thinking...
00:20:11
Speaker
may not be able to complete that pass may overthrow it may under throw it right which and as we saw he did under throw it because if he had thrown it far enough it's a touchdown yeah um because that guy was wide open but so then there's the did he or did he not catch it which to me um i think we were like sending around the the rules um and some some text threads so as well on that one but it's like the ball touches the ground at all before you've secured it, it's not a catch. and So I don't know how you can look at it and say it didn't touch the ground in between his arms. Well, also we need to remember that on the field, it was ruled as incomplete.
00:20:45
Speaker
So you need complete and indisputable evidence to prove otherwise. yeah And there was no angle that proved either or. I mean, to me, it looked like in one of them, it hit the ground. But if you can't tell whether it hit the ground or not, then there's no way for you to overturn that call.
00:21:02
Speaker
Well said. Well said, Lily. like that. Um, accurate. I guess the only other controversial element that I forgot about was, um, yes, you can be called for a false start as a quarterback for nothing. What?
00:21:15
Speaker
Like, I remember we were all like, ah and called on Florida. No, how? i I mean, i mean, I'm young. i haven't seen a ton of football.
00:21:28
Speaker
I've never seen anything like that before, but clearly not many other people have either. Yeah, I will say it is in the rules. um we but We pulled that out as well. So it is in the rules. I would say technically,
00:21:44
Speaker
Yes, like he did do what they say you can't. Usually you see it more called on like, for those who are watching on YouTube, it's like the quarterback under center who's like nodding his head forward, right? So when he's like, you know, he's faking doing the head nod.
00:21:57
Speaker
And this was the exaggerated, exaggerated clap. If you watch it, he did. It was a little bit different than his normal clap. It was like a... it can like His hands flicked out when he drew them out. yeah like It wasn't just like he grabbed his hands out to clap. it was like He like threw them out.
00:22:15
Speaker
right It was very weird. it was bird-like. Yes. Okay. So yeah, so that was a thing. But luckily, it ended up not really mattering so much. Yeah, but then the only thing I'll say the lowest point point for me and I think for a lot of people was,
00:22:38
Speaker
um um the on their last
Georgia's Defensive Stand and Victory
00:22:42
Speaker
drive. So we're up four. They've got the ball. I mean, they were they were moving the ball. They were moving. I was getting really nervous. i was stressed about that. I think I got a text from someone who is a another co-host of this podcast. I'm not going to name any names.
00:22:58
Speaker
It was like, oh my gosh, like are they death marching us? is Is this like the Florida death march? like What's happening? But thankfully, you know defense clamps down. We got that fourth stop where Did we really need the chains to come out to measure it? Well, it wasn't even close. It was over. I've seen a lot of people be like, oh, it was a yard.
00:23:14
Speaker
That was over a yard and it was far off. And I've realized in like the past like season or two, the chains have been coming out way more. so I don't know if it's just been a lot of controversial rulings where people are like, no, that was definitely short the first down or something.
00:23:30
Speaker
But that one was completely unnecessary. There's no reason they needed to bring out the chains for that one. In general, I'm good with it i I appreciate the drama of the chains coming out yeah for the measurement. But yes, i agreed. was that Wasn't really necessary on that play. But so then so then we get the ball back, um have our own death march to to seal it.
00:23:51
Speaker
Although I guess we left out the amazing Chauncey Bowens touchdown run that was to give us the lead originally. I love Chauncey Bowens. It was a great run. ah Great knowing that he was once a Florida Commit.
00:24:04
Speaker
Yes. Change to Georgia. So a big moment for him Huge moment for him. I'm still curious as to where he was in the first quarter. i would i and didn't realize it until later in the game where he started making huge plays that he just wasn't really doing much. And it wasn't necessarily because he wasn't capable. It was because he just wasn't there. He wasn't there.
00:24:26
Speaker
Yeah. So I don't know. I never heard an explanation for what was going on. um But so we'll see. But at any rate, amazing touchdown run. I think they've Kirby has come out and said that like,
00:24:37
Speaker
Gunner actually changed the play a little bit. Like, he changed the play. He saw something in Florida's defense, and, you know, Chauncey was able to change the play a little bit, and Chauncey took advantage of it.
00:24:49
Speaker
And something that you're not going to know and won't be able to relate to, but... okay I think some of our listeners will be able to Chauncey Bones is out there running in that number 33 jersey he looks a lot like Terrell Davis so someone you don't really know of and I have not done a good job of teaching about Terrell Davis but he was a Georgia running back back in like the early 90s and then he was on the he was on the Broncos Super Bowl winning team to be fair you told me to not research the 90s in Georgia football
00:25:18
Speaker
true true story so yeah oh so yeah Well played, Billy. Well played. um So yeah, so I don't He definitely, he looks like Terrell Davis out there to me.
00:25:30
Speaker
um But that was amazing. And then, you know, he had another huge play on the game ceiling drive. Like he got a huge first down before Gunner's ultimate, you know, up the knees.
00:25:42
Speaker
so and then, you know, then the celebration was on and all the players were jumping into the sands. Yeah. So. Great photo of lot of people. The photo Lucky. thought that a lot.
00:25:53
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And then last night we watched the the cinematic. The review. the that Yeah, the highlight. highlights Yeah, those were good. Very good. Very dramatic ending with Gunner taking the knee. Gotta see it if you haven't seen it. If you haven't seen it, the the way that the music like stopped right before, it was like building up to the climax.
00:26:13
Speaker
And then he took a knee everything went awry and was amazing. Definitely had like the absolute cinema moment. Okay. Anything else on the um this year's world's largest outdoor cocktail party from your perspective?
Betting and Predictions Discussion
00:26:28
Speaker
I mean, I feel like we covered... Is there anything you you have to add? I guess, well, I guess my only thing would be from a betting perspective, Georgia didn't cover.
00:26:41
Speaker
That's not what you meant. You meant we covered the things. Well, yes, I've seen a lot of comments on many posts and I was so hyped about the Gunner knee. I thought it was hilarious and also a very smart decision, but I also saw a lot of people be like, come on Gunner.
00:26:57
Speaker
We needed that. I needed that for my bet. like Get to the money line Gunner. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I bet, you know when you can end the game, you end the game. Yeah.
00:27:07
Speaker
It was a high IQ play. Like you said, he didn't want to get chewed out by Kirby. Exactly. Like he was in the Auburn game. um Okay, why don't we do a ah quick rundown with ah coaches over-unders. So quick update there.
00:27:19
Speaker
um i slightly ah did better, slightly than John. I went 5-3. He went three and five So I've got a slight lead on the over-unders. John crushed me in the pick-em games.
00:27:29
Speaker
He went 3-1. I went 1-3. Horrible week for me. Not even picking up against his red, just picking straight up. I went 1-3 on the four games that were given to us. So shout-out Coach Trillbill. Thank you, as always, for...
00:27:42
Speaker
Doing those, sending them in and tracking them for us. Always a good time. Thank you, buddy. All right. So after the Georgia game ended, and we didn't have the ESPN, but we were still able to watch a little bit of football. what What was the rest of your just day in general? How are you feeling about the college football Saturday?
00:28:00
Speaker
Oh, well, i would like to say there were there was a time, i don't remember who was before after the game, but I was on my phone and I was looking at amazing parental units and I was like, there are some upsets, I think it happened, and it may just be because I'm a Georgia fan, but the Tech game really stood out to me and I had been following NC State a ton because I knew like halfway through the season, they started to have a of like They have few ranked teams. They have some just rough overall games.
00:28:33
Speaker
And they also be it was they beat Virginia. they And that is Virginia's, that was their one loss. So I was like, I was like, maybe, maybe there's a chance for an upset. And I remember telling my mom, and she was like, no.
00:28:47
Speaker
NC State sucks. But I'm aware. i was, because I had been keeping up with them that entire season so far. So when were able to watch some of that game,
00:29:02
Speaker
um i remember, well, my first response was we could have been at that game. That was true. i was that That was discussed at one point that we were going to try to go to an NC State game this year. But then we wouldn't have been able to watch the Georgia-Florida game from home. It would have created a whole ton of just issues and If we were in a hotel and we were watching a Georgia football game, everyone in the hotel would hate us.
00:29:28
Speaker
We would have been like late for kickoff. Late for kickoff, and then they would all be, we'd get noise complaints from yelling at our TV. true true but yeah so yeah you totally called that one i called it you called that one um i mean it was it it was a great day in college football for from the georgia perspective you've got georgia won obviously whoa which obviously means that florida lost as we were playing them but then on top of that like all of our rivals lost yes florida lost to us auburn lost georgia tech lost tennessee lost that auburn loss was crazy
College Football Surprises
00:30:05
Speaker
That was wild. That was wild. And then their coach no longer there. Everyone is getting fired. i mean, do whatever you think will help you win the championship.
00:30:17
Speaker
yeah yeah for sure for sure um well i don't know yeah that's probably probably it for the weekend what but there's somebody else i would like to say though i talked about this ah talked about this when i got home from i saw so i watched the iconic movie back to the future today love that movie but i got home and i went upstairs to play some college football 25 because college football and I opened it up in the last thing I was on was like the Georgia page apparently and it pulled up and it said back
00:30:50
Speaker
And I had the biggest jump scare of my entire life. It was like, it gave me flashbacks to all the interceptions and all the trauma it caused me.
00:31:04
Speaker
i I guess we we skipped right we skipped right over that of the Miami SMU game, which that was one of those ones where we hadn't figured out how to watch games yet. so we missed that one um with the whole YouTube TV thing. But I think you kind of called that one too.
00:31:19
Speaker
Yeah, I also said that. um I was trying to think. Oh, so um um I'll now relate to everyone what I texted some of my friends. And I don't think I told you that I texted that first, but I'm going to tell it anyways.
00:31:31
Speaker
um We were sitting there. we were just kind of like reminiscing over, you know, beating beating Florida. And out of nowhere, I kind of, I was like, i was like, you know, because Zachariah Branch, like huge game, right? With 10 catches, 100 something yards.
00:31:44
Speaker
um And so I said, i said to you, I said, man, was like, you know, Zachariah Branch is worth every penny. They were paying him in NIL money. And do you remember what you said to me?
00:31:54
Speaker
I don't remember what I said, but I'm picking it up at something good. Like unprompted, said, well, you know who's not worth every penny? He's not worth every penny.
00:32:05
Speaker
Carson Beck. I will admit that. And also, there's that moment where you're talking about how Gunner was able to change the plays. And it's the fact that we trust him enough to make those choices.
00:32:18
Speaker
And he does well at that, too. He's very smart. He's very nice guy, as we know.
00:32:26
Speaker
that's true story trueer we have met him very some very sweet man love gunner but it's the fact that gunner was able was allowed to do these and that beck well we all know what he said yeah i mean according to what he told tv we didn't never let him we never let him do anything he couldn't make any choices for himself Not allowed to change the place. Sorry. Sorry, bag but Gunner obviously is.
00:32:53
Speaker
it's and Definitely can. Oh, cool. Okay. Well, I don't know. Was that it? I think and think that probably covers it. Yeah. Okay.
00:33:03
Speaker

00:33:17
Speaker
Yeah. ah have I have one final closing statement. Oh, okay. um I would like to just relay this to all those Georgia fans out there that go to the games. oh It's what's that coming down the track?
00:33:31
Speaker
The amount of times that I've been in the stadium where I i was at every game this year so far, and except for the Bama game. So I'm undefeated at home, actually.
00:33:42
Speaker
So maybe I need to just keep going to the games. Yes.
Personal Reflections and Episode Conclusion
