Now, let's join the conversation in progress.
Texas Fans' Reactions and Game Day Atmosphere
00:00:49
Speaker
Just like we predicted.
00:00:56
Speaker
The eyes of Texas are bawling, crying. Screenshotting phantom holds, screenshotting all sorts of things. yeah screenshot screenshot They're definitely screenshotting low-cut shirt from a young lady in the stands.
00:01:14
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I was i was totally, and having been there, I was totally unaware of that, but and I've heard about that multiple times now. um Yeah. ah the Emmanuel Acho complaining about pass interference was kind of funny. Although I guess after the game, he was more just like, we got crushed. So he finally came around.
00:01:35
Speaker
it has i mean it has to be said the post-game shenanigans have been kind of crazy to see but also like quite delicious like the delicious sweet salty tears are made even better by the responses that you're getting from you know sark and the players like It's almost like I keep hearing all of this rationalization and justification for like, we didn't really get beat that bad, you know, kind of stuff.
00:02:08
Speaker
Like, we only ran three offensive plays. Like, what do you expect us to do kind of thing? And I'm like, bro, you just made it sound even worse. That one was, that that was wild.
00:02:20
Speaker
Like I saw that quote today. was like, well, the reason they scored 21 straight points is we only ran three plays. Well, like run more plays, get a first down, like recover an onside kick.
00:02:31
Speaker
That was interesting. Or, you know, play defense. Right. Right. but Yeah, seriously. I will say the, generally speaking, the Texas people that I came across were pretty cool.
00:02:43
Speaker
um You know, I think it was like, I think they, you know, first trip, first time playing somewhere, they came out there, got the experience and such. um Everyone i I ran into is was pretty cool.
00:02:54
Speaker
So for what that's worth. Yeah. I think that um and based on what I've seen, it seems like that they've been, they were pretty cool. Yeah, there was actually there was a dog at the tailgate that like had longhorns like tied onto it or something or i like a like a stuffed animal. I know it was like dressed at like a longhorn. It's pretty funny.
00:03:16
Speaker
That's cool. did Did they have the horns turned upside down? No, they were, uh, this was like a Texas fan had their dog with them or something. Oh, okay. Got it. There were horns down tied up at yes, that, that was there too.
00:03:28
Speaker
That was pretty epic. So yeah, both were there. I think I saw the, I saw the bone, the bonehead and turned upside down on a number of different tailgates.
00:03:39
Speaker
Yeah, that was pretty sweet. That was pretty sweet. also saw like, it seemed like that, uh, this, this seems like was a Zach touch shout out zero photo. Um, there was like red lights at the tailgate that I believe was like during, and then after the game, which I didn't go back there after.
00:03:59
Speaker
okay so I've seen the post photos. Yes. And there's also, there was a chandelier, which like, is that always there? I don't think so. i think it's just a holdover. It's it's more of just like a this is how we roll now.
00:04:12
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. My sister was like, are we at Ole Miss? Like, this is fancy. Like, yeah, it was fancy.
Basketball Game Experience
00:04:18
Speaker
But the red lights was a nice touch. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like San Francisco. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:23
Speaker
yeah yeah Uh, I gotta say too, actually, I wanted to briefly say that ah we went to the basketball game Friday night. Um, the basketball minute, let's go basketball minute. So, and by the way, like we got there like right at tip off. So it was just Lily and I coming from Charlotte.
00:04:41
Speaker
She had a ah callback for her audition that she's her audition process. She's going through for the spring musical of high school. And so like, you know, when she was done, she came out and we, so we left, she was already packed. And I was, so I was just like sitting in the parking lot waiting for her. So we went straight there.
00:04:56
Speaker
um, we rolled in like parked in the Carlton street deck and just met my brother-in-law and and my nephew, like in the seats. But so we're like, we're trying to get into, there was a, there were crazy lines to get in. Steg is one thing. And so we kept walking around to try to find a shorter line. And we finally did, as we were walking in, there was Scott and Zach.
00:05:12
Speaker
So like, we saw them like on the way in, then we saw them after the game too. So that was pretty cool. Um, Yeah, dude, that was fun. um Always fun to beat Tech, no matter the sport. um Got to see that team in person.
00:05:25
Speaker
was pretty cool. um Got some very athletic dudes. I stand by my, like, i'm in I'm still in the, I'm learning the roster. ah phase So I'm good now. I have, you know, Wilkins and Wilkinson. You know, I've got that down, but like, dude, mean, like you're sitting there watching and it's like, okay. Like from last year's perspective, it's like, okay, you've got blue cane and Samto.
00:05:48
Speaker
And like, most the time, like that's mainly it, you know, Justin Absinthe comes in and Dylan James comes in. everyone else is new. So it definitely is still taking, I'm still learning. Um, but they're fun to watch.
00:06:01
Speaker
Um, tech was better than I thought they were going to be. Um, it was a game of runs and I'm just glad that, you know, the game ended when it did. it i We had our last run built up a ball lead and they ate into it a little bit and then the game ended.
00:06:13
Speaker
So, um, It was fun, man. There was definitely, we didn't get a, like a Wilkins highlight dunk, but we got multiple highlight dunks from ah multiple people. We had a blue cane, blue cane, multiple dunks, and even like a technical, cause he was talking trash after one of his dunks.
00:06:28
Speaker
Um, so it was great. Lily had a blast cause blue is her favorite player and he was the leading scorer. Uh, with 18. Did she get a blue cane? She's not, but is definitely wants one. We saw all the students with them. She's quite jealous.
00:06:41
Speaker
So nice. The ah I think one of the dunks that I saw was a Somto dunk. Dude, they were nasty and like they're like block shots and and everything. So it was fun. There is a decent amount tech fans there, too. I will say that.
00:06:57
Speaker
um But they all left. know. I mean, it was kind of weird. Like they all left and like Georgia fans are leaving, too. it's like, guys, this is basketball. Like the game is not over. um But I will admit, I also um and felt like I was kind of a bad basketball fan because started losing my voice like kind of early.
00:07:15
Speaker
had to conserve. At some in the first half, I was I've got to say this for tomorrow night. Sorry, guys. but like I had to dial it back a little bit. um so Sorry, Fletcher.
Post-Game Traditions and Future Plans
00:07:26
Speaker
Hope that's okay. That's my basketball fan. I had to talk about that. Yeah. but it looked like ah It looked like a fun game. And yes, um what's the good word, Jim?
00:07:38
Speaker
Tech wrecked. Yes. To hell with Georgia Tech. but And you we got to sing the fight song with that in it. oh you know Yeah. When they did they did they did light up the stag.
00:07:49
Speaker
So that was good. Excellent. All right. So we did the basketball thing. did you end the evening? Yeah. Uh, that night. Oh man. Well, it took us forever to get out, um, of the deck we were in. Like we were, we were parked on the roof of the Carlton street deck.
00:08:08
Speaker
Um, so it took a long time to get out. So we just went back to my parents' house. I mean, that game tipped off at nine. So we got back to Nicholson like after midnight. um So Lily and I headed to the fridge and or it headed to the freezer and grabbed a Klondike bar.
00:08:24
Speaker
So we had a little dessert. We had a Ponda's famous Klondike bar. Nice. and then And then we went to bed. So that was it. But in case you're wondering, we did start the day off right Saturday morning with Carol's Country Cupboard.
00:08:38
Speaker
Yeah. um I bought a three-biscuit pack, three different biscuits, and we just kind of cut them up and split them. um so Like a little sampler. that The tenderloin egg and cheese, the bacon egg and cheese, and the chicken egg and cheese.
00:08:55
Speaker
um We're not able to procure any grits. They were sold out. So life goal, get there early enough to have the grits. At this point, I just want to know.
00:09:07
Speaker
Yeah. like they sell out i'm intrigued are these things sold out yeah you gotta i mean it's not like they're difficult i mean i assume they're not too difficult to make but yeah knows don't know what's going on don't know what's going on yeah but it's like a special item i've had some pretty amazing grits in my life so if they're selling out before 8 a.m at a breakfast stop that's interesting Yeah, I'll report back. i do like the I do like the sampler idea because there are definitely some other options that I would like to explore, even though the TEC is quite phenomenal. And, you know, i did the same thing. i went to the went to the Minute Saver over here and tried to get some TEC. It just wasn't the same, man. Yeah.
00:09:57
Speaker
Last week it was pretty good. last Last time I talked about it, it was pretty solid, but this one was kind of, it wasn't fresh. I i have a feeling that having it fresh is probably the the move.
00:10:07
Speaker
Okay. The consistency is not there. Yeah. The consistency is not there. The the consistency is lacking. okay okay okay but i did i did try to attempt attempt that as i was running around just packing and all kinds of stuff okay um but uh took time out from all the craziness here at the house uh to to watch the game and then it was a good one It was dude.
00:10:34
Speaker
Um, I will say we did do, you asked where the night ended. We did start, we had lunch at little Italy. If that's where you're trying to go. Um, we did, uh, with the late start, we went in and just went downtown first parked and then went downtown.
00:10:49
Speaker
So was Lily and I, ah my sister, brother-in-law and my nephew, We went in and hit Little Italy, did lunch there, and then we were on to the tailgates. so um Oh, I don't think I told you this. Did tell you that the Yum Yum sauce mascot thing showed up again?
00:11:08
Speaker
No, I didn't. and the The bottle, the bottle of yum, yum sauce was walking around Athens again. It was, uh, we've got a picture of Lily and my nephew Braden, uh, with that, which today's Britain's birthday, by the way, shout out Braden.
00:11:20
Speaker
but Happy birthday. bro Um, like I said, I mentioned most of this stuff from that
Game Day Logistics and Interactions
00:11:26
Speaker
tailgate. So tailgate scene was good. Um, Oh, I will say, um, Lily, uh, thank you to everyone who talks to Lily about, uh, her fill in spot, uh, for you, JP.
00:11:36
Speaker
Last week, she got many compliments um and i think she had another another moment where someone was like, oh, that she knows what she's talking about. um She was like commenting to someone else like that she didn't know like about or someone was saying something about a re a replay scenario in like a game that was on at Morris Hall tailgate.
00:11:56
Speaker
Lily was like, well, I don't know. That just doesn't look like the that there's a, like that it's clear and obvious to overturn that. And they like did a double take we're like, whoa, like what's going on?
00:12:07
Speaker
ah So that was good. Um, Lily, certified ball knower. Certified. So that was pretty funny. um But yeah, dude. Then we had a a blooper sighting at Hug Dogs.
00:12:20
Speaker
Apparently Hampton made that happen, was my understanding. So that was pretty sweet. That's hilarious. And then Yara, I'm so sorry that I missed your message. I'm like so bummed.
00:12:32
Speaker
that Yara and I were not able to meet up. So go listen to Chappell Curve. We love them. And Yara and I were trying to meet up. And don't know. I blame my Twitter notification.
00:12:44
Speaker
I blame Yara's late arrival.
00:12:48
Speaker
worse worse than Worse than the teenagers. I'll say i was also Josh and I were texting. We were trying to meet up too. um And he, we, bet we basically like we were texting and we were like, yeah, this isn't going to work.
00:12:59
Speaker
So we, we didn't, ah we didn't cross paths either, but that's it. Yeah. That's the worst. I'm just going to say it. Like if you guys are in town trying to meet up, like get to campus early, get to, get, get to the tailgates.
00:13:13
Speaker
get Like, there's only so much opportunity to do these things. So I will say you're going to be there and be there. We also we went into the game like super early. We went in the game much earlier than we usually do.
00:13:26
Speaker
um Again, Lily wanted to walk by. she wanted to do the hedges walk, you know, pregame. And like, i think we're kind of scarred by doing that Ole Miss. We like went the wrong way or something and hit crazy like congestion in the stadium.
00:13:40
Speaker
So, um, but then also, you know, we didn't have my mom there to grab, um, there is the wrist, the wristbands for us or the light up things. Um, so to make sure we got those. So. Did Lewin Ponda decide not to go? Yeah, they watched it at home. Ah. Yeah.
00:13:55
Speaker
Okay. But dude, how about it, man?
Game Analysis: Key Plays and Performances
00:13:58
Speaker
Like, complete game, right? I mean... hesitate to say complete game, but it definitely was... Because of the low.
00:14:07
Speaker
A very good game. Yeah. I mean, the after we went up, what was it? 17-3 14-3? can't remember. 14-3. 14-3.
00:14:15
Speaker
fourteen Yeah, we went up 14 to three, and then it was just like we had – I think we had eight straight punts or something like that. Yeah, we – but we held them to it.
00:14:25
Speaker
They didn't get a touchdown. Collectively, I think. It was like eight or nine straight punts. I remember the broadcast crew talking about gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to say, yeah, we didn't, but yeah, that makes sense. I don't know. I definitely felt like we kick off to them.
00:14:41
Speaker
They're going down the field. There's a couple of like, you know, longer conversions that were frustrating. And you're kind of like, here we go again. But then we finally get off the field and they're down. They kick a field goal. And that felt like a win.
00:14:53
Speaker
was like, whoa, we didn't give up a touchdown the first drive? Yeah, on the first drive. Yeah, exactly. i was like, oh, man, they came to play. ah Yeah. um And then, i mean, that those first two drives by the off by our offense were incredible.
00:15:09
Speaker
um They were so good. ah Other than the first, I guess, the first play of the game, which I did not, we couldn't figure out what was going on. I thought it was a busted play. um It wasn't until I got home like the next morning and watched the The TV ah broadcast that I noticed that Gunner wasn't ready for the snap on the first play again.
00:15:30
Speaker
But other than that, like sharp, I mean, guys getting open, Gunner hitting them, Gunner running, like everything was clicking. Yeah, I mean, when you're talking about he completed, i think, over 80% of his passes, yeah which is good for him. Like, i like that's that's really good for him because I think normally he's sitting somewhere in the neighborhood of, like, high 60s.
00:15:54
Speaker
I think he's hit 70s couple times, so, like, to be over 80% passing on ah on a day like that is kind of crazy. Especially when you take into consideration that at least one was a throwaway, one was an interception, and then have, I think that, what does that leave?
00:16:14
Speaker
What was he? i think he was like 20. He's 24 29. twenty four or twenty nine 24, 29. Yeah. So like, i mean, that only leaves a handful of bad passes that, you know, and that he didn't complete kind of thing. Yeah. um Yeah. I mean, and ah we've we've upgraded Stacey to the Christmas party invitation.
00:16:32
Speaker
Like, it's no longer like we're still he he's really trying to win me back is really what I'm saying here. And that's something that should be noted is that this was not a good game for the Bobo and Stacey haters because I felt like that Bobo called an amazing game, generally speaking.
00:16:53
Speaker
Like said, there was a there was a lull in there. but um But yeah, overall, great great offensive line play, um generally speaking, for the most part. um save a couple of little nitpicky things. I think you kind of pointed out that there was, you know, some snaps, which I think that we chalked that up to um Bobo to having um the laceration on his hand kind of thing.
00:17:17
Speaker
Yeah. That glove was like, there's a lot going on there. Yeah, I didn't even realize that he had cut his hand. Yeah, yeah. To the point where he needed, what, like eight stitches or something like that? Yeah, that's what they said on the broadcast, yeah. Crazy. Yeah, I didn't know it was to that extent either.
00:17:32
Speaker
um But yeah, dude, how about, like, I mean, also, like, Noah Thomas coming out party? Like, is that fair to say? Yeah, I think Brandon Adams meant said something about, like, the one with Noah Thomas or something like that.
00:17:45
Speaker
Nice. Yeah. I mean, the that that first one, that first touchdown pass, that was coming right ah at us where we sit. um I mean, we saw it like way ahead of time. I was like, oh, he's open.
00:17:57
Speaker
um I mean, it looked like it was pretty good coverage on the broadcast. I didn't really see from behind the play develop or anything like that, but it looked like it was pretty tight coverage. it was a good catch. i'm glad it's glad I'm glad to see that they are finding alternatives to Zachariah Branch.
00:18:15
Speaker
When they need a completion, and Dylan Bell, Zachary Branch, Noah Thomas. I think that's a great three-headed monster for us um as we approach the rundown here. Yeah.
00:18:27
Speaker
Yeah. No, I definitely agree. I'm trying to think. On our second offensive drive, I think the the wild play to me was the – There's a pass to Branch where he caught it past the sticks and then he like ran backwards.
00:18:44
Speaker
So it was kind of one of those like no, no, yes moments where it's like, oh, you're going the wrong way. like He came back like this side of the first down marker, but then he's just so fast. He just like ran around every way. Yeah, yeah. He just took off. and like i I don't know. like I thought I was going to score.
00:18:57
Speaker
um Obviously, he didn't, but... I think that he, on one of them, I think that that, and this is something that happened a couple of different times. You want to talk about like areas for improvement, that kind of thing. um I think that I've noticed him do this a couple of times where when he catches the ball, he is gunning for the middle of the field as opposed to, like there was one play where I think that if he bounces it outside, Noah Thomas has a guy like that he's blocking down. And I think that he could run around that guy I just would have I would have liked to have seen him bounce it outside kind of thing as opposed to just keep going towards the middle which is going in the direction of the defenders as opposed to going away from the defenders into the outside i think that I think we're talking about the same play I think yeah yeah because I remember when again like re-watching it with my dad we're sitting there watching I was like oh man I was like I think if he goes outside right there like at the end
00:19:50
Speaker
like He cut across the middle, which is good, but at the very end, it was like inside or outside. And I feel like if he went outside of Thomas, he would have scored or could have. Yeah, think he could have scored for sure. Yeah. um There was that play that was good. um i think that in the fourth quarter after the onside kick, which holy cow.
00:20:10
Speaker
Yeah. Let's talk about that. i Yeah, let's let's talk about that for a second. Let's come back to that. Let's come back to that. Okay. But after the outside kick, I feel like that our our our run game suddenly came alive and we started just gashing them for 10, 15 yards piece.
00:20:29
Speaker
Yeah. you' like the first I mean, the first play after it, Nate Fraser just like ran right up the gut, and it was just like trucking guys. Yes. So I totally agree. I mean, I don't know. I kind of chalked part of that up to – mean, that drive that driver right before was pretty long too. So, I mean, it was like a – I think what those possessions – mean, we had the ball for like 11 minutes or something across the two drives.
00:20:50
Speaker
So that was a new thing, a two-drive death march with a ah with an onside kick in the middle. the devil The double, the double Kirby, Kirby death march. I mean, they had negative yards in the fourth quarter until with about like four 20 left, something like that left in the game.
00:21:07
Speaker
They were, they were a negative yardage. Yeah. I, okay. So let's, let's talk about just that whole sequence. Right. Because I think the other thing, the other thing to point out here for me is like how well the defense played, like there can be like individual plays where they may got to play like, Oh, how are they so open or whatever? But like, Holy cow.
00:21:25
Speaker
I mean, the only touchdown was on a short field because of an interception, which I would say that was very uncharacteristic. of That was a very uncharacteristic miss from Gunner for sure. I mean, like it was, he threw it in the middle of three guys behind the receiver. Like, I don't know.
00:21:39
Speaker
I don't know. He definitely forced. He definitely forced. That was his, that was his impression of Stetson Bennett, like just trying to gun gunslinger it. Yeah. Yeah. um But so then, so then they scored touchdown on the short field, but then they didn't, I mean, they didn't see the ball.
00:21:55
Speaker
again, for like I said, for I believe roughly 11 minutes. um you know that That drive, so they score, it's 14-10. felt like we had we're the better team all night. Like, oh my gosh, now it's 14-10. What's happening here?
00:22:11
Speaker
um And then the following drive, you know that drive included two fourth down conversions. um the one that was a beautiful play and like, dude, I formation is back. by yeah Yeah. Yeah. When I saw Gunner, when I saw a Gunner run up to the line, I was like, Oh snap. Here we go.
00:22:29
Speaker
ah We are so back. We are so back. ah Like Josh McCray fullback. Oh my gosh. i love it so much. And so like, but then we fake the handoff to Josh McCray, you know, and then like roll out and in the past to Chauncey, which by the way, how about Chauncey getting so involved in the passing game? Like, I feel like that, I mean, I know we've thrown to him a little bit, but that was very, that was quite effective. Yeah.
00:22:51
Speaker
that was sweet. Then we get into another fourth down, drop off sides and drop off pass interference that for some reason the flag was picked up. I, I still understand that. still don't understand that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:02
Speaker
seemed like the broadcast didn't understand that either. Um, but then, then right after that, uh, again, you know, sorry to the Bobo haters, but beautiful play design where Oscar delps motion confuses the man coverage,
00:23:16
Speaker
Um, and basically the both corners or the corner and the safety, whatever, or slot guy, they both go adult and, um, he's just wide open. So they left, they left, um, London Humphreys.
00:23:30
Speaker
Yeah. He's just wide open. And then, as Lily would likes to point out, um, his spike, uh, and the celebration was amazing. Um, It was the Gronk spike. It was as a legit spike. And then there was the the moment that we've now, we saw like this, the school released with the, like him and Monroe Freeling had a little walk. That's pretty sweet. Yeah. It's like a little walk. I don't know if you know what the story is with the celebration between London Humphries and Monroe Freeling.
00:23:55
Speaker
I would really like to know. um And it's even better if you have the longer longer form video. I know. Yeah, we need the longer cut of that for sure. and Yeah, so then we get the onside kick, right? I mean, so yeah we basically have a death march and then the onside kick.
00:24:12
Speaker
Which like in the stadium, it was just like wait, what? Like what, what just happened? um I was, i was shocked. Everyone around us, everyone was shocked. Everyone's just jumping up, high-fiving everyone around us.
Strategic Moves and Georgia's Victory
00:24:28
Speaker
is Okay. So, so I'm going to paint a picture for you. So we, we, we scored on the possession, right? And then, then we get ready to ready to go.
00:24:39
Speaker
All game long, Carter has been saying, oh my gosh, they're going to go for it. They're going onside kick it. They're going to onside kick it. then they went and did it so like i was just like, no, no, no. And then I looked up and it wass like I was like, oh my gosh.
00:24:53
Speaker
i was you know i was doing the I was doing the double screen scrolling or whatever. And like yeah, it totally caught me off guard. i didn't even I had to wait for the replay to actually see what happened because it caught me so off guard.
00:25:07
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, like totally uncharacteristic. Although Sarkeesian seemed like he knew something was coming. Like he he was just like, something's going to happen. he's got He's got something. It's like big brother, and little brother. Like he's going to do something to screw me.
00:25:24
Speaker
that um but But yeah, dude, like ah it's almost apparently they've been practicing that in practice all season long and just kind of, I guess, waiting for the right moment to do it.
00:25:38
Speaker
um But man, dude, he he nailed he nailed that onside kick. and He was perfect. the thing that um The thing that I noticed and that I haven't really heard anybody ask much about, but like immediately after the on-site kick and you know Cash goes down and everybody's going crazy on the sideline, like Kirby and an assistant are like pointing at each other. like like It's almost like he's saying, like I told you, I told you. like yeah some like There was some kind of connection, like some kind of, like all right, all right.
00:26:11
Speaker
A validation happened on the sideline there. Right. Of something that I feel like that they must have seen in the film or seen in their tendencies or seen in their preparation or whatever that precipitated them to just bust that out of that because and that at that specific moment.
00:26:30
Speaker
Yeah. Perfectly kicked. and don't think the ball could have bounced any more perfectly. yeah was absolutely perfect. me was like he threw it to him. Yeah. Like it was, I mean, a great, great job by Cash getting it.
00:26:43
Speaker
And then, yeah. if if for For those who are wondering, because I have seen it, and we talked about it, I've seen it on Twitter too, like you cannot advance an onside cake when you regret it. Yes. So that's why I went to the ground.
00:26:54
Speaker
and didn't I didn't know that, yeah. Yeah. um But yeah, like we said, man. Oh, what? And I was just saying cash money, cash money, bling, bling. Yeah.
00:27:05
Speaker
It was fantastic. Fantastic. Um, but yeah, dude, then the offense just keeps rolling. And then you had, yeah know, you had the, I think it was the first ever, know, double death march, like you said. So, um, yeah.
00:27:16
Speaker
I think that um on their touchdown drive that they had, um wasn't there – I think the the touchdown drive was um Zion that had the pass interference that kind of set that up.
00:27:32
Speaker
Yes. Yes. So they had short field and they got a pass interference. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The pass interference was a suboptimal on that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:42
Speaker
I, not that it makes a huge difference, but I thought it was, i mean, he did interfere with him, but the ball hadn't been thrown. Like I thought it was holding, but I mean like either way, like they're getting automatic first down.
00:27:55
Speaker
So not a huge difference, but for what it's worth, I thought it was defensive holding. I didn't, I was mad in the stadium because i thought nothing had happened, but having, having watched the broadcast, he definitely grabbed him. Yeah. He definitely almost tackled him.
00:28:08
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I would say that that was maybe, i would have loved to have seen what would happened with that play had he not done that because ah think that it would have been okay, but yeah um i don't know.
00:28:21
Speaker
You can't really fault him too much on that one. No, no. I'm trying to think. Oh, penalties in general was kind of a story until, like, think until that play.
00:28:33
Speaker
maybe we we only had we had we didn't We were not very penalized. um Yeah. as As I recall, that was something that they mentioned on the broadcast. They were like, and Georgia just got their first penalty of the game kind of thing, and it was late late in the game.
00:28:48
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And that's like to your point earlier of like the Texas fans complaining or whatever. I think that is a common thing, but I know I've definitely seen um lot of stats coming out. Like that's kind of who they are. Like they get penalized a lot.
00:29:06
Speaker
They're one of the more penalized teams in the sec. So yeah, they had nine penalties for 58 yards. You're right. We only had that, that pass interference penalty was our only penalty of the game. Yeah. Yeah. So that is pretty wild.
00:29:17
Speaker
I mean, we only turned the ball over once, but we reciprocated it. So it kind of was in that net net zero, right? It was. Man, Bolden's interception, like I didn't see it very well, like when it happened.
00:29:31
Speaker
That one like surprised me. I was like, wait, what just happened? Because he was like going to going to a knee when he caught it. It was kind of weird. I didn't have a very good reaction. Oh, i i ah I do also want to point out, ah because if people who weren't there, if you weren't in the stadium, you wouldn't have noticed this.
00:29:46
Speaker
Um, Kirby got like really mad at the fans. Um, like he was doing the, you know, uh, the hand waving, like to be quiet, be quiet. Um, cause we get that interception and then we came to the line and, ah we were breaking the huddle and all of our fans were screaming.
00:30:03
Speaker
And the reason is the Jumbotron still had like the savage pads with KJ Bolton on the Jumbotron. It's like he had, they had just gotten to the point where he like stepped up, you know, with the savage pads on. And so everyone cheers. And then Kirby was like, no, no. So that was kind of funny.
00:30:18
Speaker
Has anybody asked him about that in the and the press conferences? i wonder if anybody asked him about that. I haven't. I didn't see anything, but that doesn't mean that they didn't. Right. Right. The other one I was going to say was, man, like if you didn't see the loss and lucky um story on on game day about his brother and just his family, um definitely go check that out.
00:30:41
Speaker
And then, you know, that aired that morning and then he scores a touchdown. um Then they showed his mom and his brothers, you know, on the Jumbotron in the stadium too, or after he scored. I know they cut to them on on the broadcast. So that was pretty cool moment.
00:30:54
Speaker
Yeah. you You may find that people are cutting onions you watch that if you watch that video. I don't know what it is, but people are cutting onions. Yeah, 100%.
00:31:06
Speaker
Dude, then we kept off the game with a rushing touchdown from Gunner to just solidify the Gunner out-dueling Arch Manning. We've gone this far, we haven't even mentioned Arch's name for what it's worth. And then it kind of says something.
00:31:17
Speaker
Since you brought it up, Jim, I'll go ahead and address a bit of an elephant in the room. Okay. I think that Arch has gotten a bad rap. Okay. I think that Arch has been ah victim of coaching malpractice.
00:31:33
Speaker
um I think that he's got some talent. um I definitely think that he is not as talented as what was, you know, much ballyhooed before the season or whatever.
00:31:44
Speaker
yeah Like no one, no one is, you know, like, would there me Yeah, I mean, we were told that he was the second coming, basically. yeah um But what I saw was a guy that had no offensive line help, a guy that had no running
Player Performances and Game Outcome
00:32:01
Speaker
game help. They averaged, I think, 1.4 yards a rush or something like that.
00:32:06
Speaker
Yeah. um Which in the SEC is a recipe for for disaster, period. um And to top it all off,
00:32:17
Speaker
He was putting the ball in places that should have been caught, and it's just that the playmakers that they have paid a lot of money for um dropped the ball. That's true. There were more, three or four drops.
00:32:31
Speaker
I think Wingo accounted for a good a good chunk of those in the second and the first half. In the second half, things were a little bit better. um they were They were a lot better, but...
00:32:42
Speaker
I'm just saying that that first half, man, he was left to fend for himself kind of thing. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. It's hard to win on the road. It's hard to succeed in the SEC on the road.
00:32:57
Speaker
It's even harder when you have... no running game and no offensive line, you start to look a little nervous. You start to look a little, you know, unconfident or whatever. um And you have, you have games that people kind of question the validity of your recruiting status.
00:33:17
Speaker
um Whereas had some of those plays gone a different way, that we might be having a different conversation about how good, you know, Arch did or didn't do and in this game.
00:33:28
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. mean, the touchdown that they did score was actually like, that was a really good play. ah There's a really good throw. It was a really good catch. So yeah, it's like that stuff is there, but hats off to our defense, man.
00:33:43
Speaker
Came to play. Yeah. Sacked him what three times. Yeah. We came to play in the fourth quarter for sure. Yeah. Yeah. And that's what Kirby said. and you He said that were that's like a DNA trait, right? like That's what we do.
00:33:56
Speaker
We're going to win the first quarter. We're going to impose our will in the fourth quarter and make them want to quit. And it felt like they quit. I know, and shout out fraternity brother Matthew McConaughey, but um he left early too.
00:34:09
Speaker
He left before. He pulled the egregious sin in the in the Wood family.
00:34:17
Speaker
He left early before the game ended. That's funny. Yes, he did. He did. how about Speaking of leaving early, I'm sure he had a flight to catch that was out of Ben Epps, but hey, maybe he was someone that was diverted because apparently some of those planes were pretty substantial coming into town and they ran out of parking at Ben Epps Airport.
00:34:40
Speaker
Oh, wow. i didn't hear about that. You didn't hear about it? okay yeah Okay. Yeah. were they they read it they were diverting people away from Athens because the airport could not take any more landings, basically.
00:34:55
Speaker
Got it. Gotcha. And so they were diverting traffic to other, you know, some of the other regional airports that are nearby or whatever.
Conclusion and Team's Future Prospects
00:35:02
Speaker
um so i don't know what what people did i'm assuming that they probably he called up someone to take to take them to the game but um yeah they they shut down the airspace in athens because there was too much too much traffic that had parked interesting interesting uh um
00:35:23
Speaker
and I don't know. don't much else to say other than the yeah gunner was, gunner was awesome. Um, I guess, let me ask you this. Was that his best game? That was his best game.
00:35:34
Speaker
i mean, the hands down 80% passing five touchdowns, five touchdowns total. Yeah. I think that, uh, someone pointed out that, uh, he's now sitting at what? 27 touchdowns. i think.
00:35:49
Speaker
And one, in yeah so a handful interceptions or whatever. And his numbers are basically better than Stetson's when he was invited to New York for the, as a finalist for the Heisman yeah and Gunners already achieved those numbers with still a couple of games left to play.
00:36:07
Speaker
That is correct. It's pretty cool, man. Pretty cool. For the guy that, I think we got some questions about that for the next episode, but. There was a lot lot of a lot of doubters.
00:36:18
Speaker
So <unk> it's it's awesome to see. And also i love how like in the like post game interview, like he is just, he's so like humble and he's so like, just not going to say much. Like, he's just like, Oh yeah. Like we had a good game plan.
00:36:33
Speaker
Like that's like all he's going to say, but you can see when he is on that field. I mean, dude, he's talking a trash to the other team. Like when he's running that ball in there, like he's looking at the guys from with the other team or when he's coming down to celebrate with those guys, if he runs by a player from the other like he looks him and you I guarantee you he's saying something to him.
00:36:50
Speaker
It's hilarious. I love it. I absolutely love it. Um, cool. Um, the other thing I was going to say is like, I don't know. I think, um, we, Jason had asked us, uh, like if there was anything we could change about the environment, we talked a good bit about the red coats.
00:37:06
Speaker
I will say, felt like I heard him more this game for what that's worth. I don't, don't know if that's just a me thing or i was paying attention or whatever, but, um, Josh Brooks, listener of My God, a podcast. ah Clearly, obviously. So that was cool.
00:37:20
Speaker
That was cool. Friend of the show. That's right. ah Here, let's hit let's say coaches. Let's recap coaches stuff ah quickly. So let's see.
00:37:31
Speaker
you You got me this week. So you're keeping chopping. You went five and two. I went four and three. um and think you're like three picks back of me at this point on the on the season. So just keep chopping, JP.
00:37:45
Speaker
And then... About to sneeze. Sorry. You're good. You're good. Yep. Just keep chopping, baby. You got me in the Pickham games too. So you you just beat me in everything um this weekend.
00:37:57
Speaker
So well done. And shout out Coach Joe for doing all those for us. And it was good to see you on Saturday. I Georgia'd you. each yeah Okay. You know, I thought I was pulling away, but it turns out you're hard to kill.
00:38:11
Speaker
win. We dominate the fourth quarter. Too good. we were the we dominate the fourth quarter and ah there's There's probably some strategery that's approaching because we're getting to the end of the season.
00:38:28
Speaker
yeah. Yeah. Hasn't been lost like me.
00:38:34
Speaker
Good times. Cool. All right. i don't know. you got You got anything else on on this one? ah No. I mean... Tailgate was great from what I've what i've gathered. Bummed that I wasn't there. Sorry sorry to miss everyone. um Yeah, I think that think it was it was a great it was a great atmosphere from everything that I saw on online. And the fans were engaged the whole time.
00:39:02
Speaker
the yeah i mean and this This version of Georgia is would be untouchable for anyone. um yeah I think that we're peaking at the right moment. and The only thing that I'll say that ah did not spark joy was seeing Bowens go down and C.J. Allen, which by and large sounds like both of them are going to be okay, but Yeah. um But you never know. Like they could just be saying that and, you know, hyper extensions have a, have a way of being difficult to, you know, treat is my, my takeaway.
00:39:39
Speaker
Week to um week to week is the, guy stuff we're hearing not not, not the hopeful kiss of death, but still week to week. Yeah. Yeah. um But yeah, I'm looking forward to having a bit of a bye week this week. we We do have a game.
00:39:56
Speaker
um we are well We'll face Charlotte, and you and i are going to talk about that here coming up. um But yeah, I think that we're we've got a nice nice week to get right and get ready for ah push. I mean, shoot, we could there's there's a non-zero chance of us getting into the SEC championship game still.
00:40:17
Speaker
Yeah. I know. i think maybe in our Charlotte preview, we'll carve out a little time to, to talk about that. um Alabama losing opened that, opened that door back up.
00:40:29
Speaker
So there are, there are multiple ways, including even if Bama and, and, and went out, there's still a chance. It's an outside chance, but it's still possible. So, yeah.
00:40:42
Speaker
All right. Well, I'm glad that you guys had fun. um Bummed that I wasn't there, but you pour I'm sure you poured one out for me. Well, and like I said, where is JP is the new Are You For Dog Son?
00:40:57
Speaker
That was...
00:41:00
Speaker
Oh, man. i'm hoping to I'm hoping to make the Charlotte game because I did i do have tickets to that game and I've been planning to take a child. ah Not sure which one at this point because the one that I was going to bring apparently has a sleepover and sleepovers way better than go to Georgia games, Jim.
00:41:20
Speaker
Right, right. Too funny. um But yeah, so we'll we'll reconvene and talk about Charlotte and go Dawgs. Go Dawgs.
