Post your predictions below. I live in Georgia now, surrounded by bulldog fans and I summed up the game to a group of bulldog fans at a birthday party last night like this:

"In 2021 we were pretty good and y'all beat us 56-7. This year we aren't very good."

My hope for the game is that we get through it with few injuries.

BLAZERS: not enough - UGA: Too much

Our line play on both sides of the ball so far doesn’t offer much hope. Probably a good night to visit Evan Williams.

My prediction is we improve and get a nice paycheck so Mark can get his yearly bonus for coming in under budget.

I predict a loss

Even though we’ve been set back a decade and played a cupcake role to two middle of the pack sunbelt teams.

Have we given up 70 besides that game vs USM?

As long as Mark is the AD we will schedule games like this. He wants the highest payday he can get every year.

I think Kansas beat us 72-0

ESPN has Georgia favored by 40.

I predict we will be talking much more about the upcoming basketball season beginning tomorrow.

They beat Kent State 45-3 and I think y’all are better than Letterman U.

They struggled a bit against South Carolina which makes me worry about our trip to Columbia.

How much are they paying you?

Georgia could do that to us easily if they want to.

Good

Georgia 45-13
My prediction is, this is the only loss I will pick this year.

Fire Mark Ingram (and Ray Watts).

I think we got ~$1.8 million a couple years ago when we played them. Not sure what it is for this game.

We gave Georgia southern a game. You cannot watch those two games and say they were anywhere near the same. Also, we haven’t been set back anything yet. Let’s give Dilfer more than five minutes before we jump off the ledge. I’d also like to see you name thrown out there for vacant coaching positions since you seem to know more than every single one of them. I assume you’ll give us a hell of a discount and a ten win season yearly.

You’ve got two weeks to come up with an explanation as to why UAB at home vs USF is on its way to a 5th straight loss. Don’t justify it by saying, “well, USF hung with (quarterbackless) bama(in the rain)”

Honestly. You all griped that Dilfer was hired over the two main candidates. I was completely fine with interviewing Tyson Helton. That was the best candidate of the 4.

I’m not going to pretend that I’m ok with how we look or that damn near every position was filled with a quality control assistant.

For the past decade I’ve been on & off this board. Y’all have used the “if you can coach better, then do it” every time the slightest criticism is given. Screams mediocrity.

The AD needs to know that what the majority of our sports look like right now is unacceptable.

$1.9 million this time.

Do we get to hang a banner for Fiskul Sponsbilltee?

Yup. It's really bad. Outside of men's basketball, we aren't competitive in any team sport right now. A lot of $ has been spent on facilities without much of a return in wins or attendance. With AK as the exception, Ingram's coaching hires have been flops. He sucks and needs to go.
