Last year, Georgia blames Tennessee for the injury to Chubb. It was clearly the way he planted his foot while being tackled in a completely clean play. Let the record show that he has a sprained ankle in the game against Ole Miss. If he plays against Tennessee, he is already "damaged goods". https://www.dawgnation.com/football/georgias-nick-chubb-has-sprained-ankle
Ditto JOCO, If the Dawgs show up with as much (or as little) sack as they did against Ole Miss, they're gonna get housed again.
A little Tennessee trivia... In 1964, Doug Dickey initiated the painting of the checkerboard in the end zones. However, well before that happened, General Neyland was quoted as saying: "Charge the checkerboard. What was Neyland talking about? Was he receiving a vision from the future?
Ah, nobody will get this unless you are a closet Tennessee fan! :wink: :wink: :wink: It is a little known fact even among Tennessee supporters. During General Neyland's tenure, the North end zone was open. There was a clear view of "the hill" with Ayres Hall sitting on top of it. The checkerboard General Neyland referred to was at the top of Ayres hall just under the clock. That checkerboard and General Neyland's quote inspired Dickey to put the checkerboards in the end zones in 1964... It wasn't until several years later that they were two colors, orange and white.
They talked about this during the tenn/uf game last weekend. I wish i would have seen the question earlier!
Yep, that little blurb brought it back to me. Rodney couldn't care less about sports now. it is like he is a totally different person since he had that Aortic Di-section. Most people die from that but he made it through and got a new outlook on life. He opened his own franchise, Firehouse subs I believe, and is totally into work and family now.
Scott is right. This could be the prefect Storm trap game. Beat Florida and start looking to aTm away and then Bama at home... Look for another slow start in this one.
This is one of those years that is set up for the winner of Tenn-Fla to have to sweat it out to win the SEC East. I do think UF is good enough to beat a disjointed LSU in the Swamp, get by Arkansas and beat a flawed Georgia team. In other words.... Tenn could very well lose two games and most likely will if they get nipped by the Dawgs. Should be interesting......
What a finish, two long touchdown passes in the last 10 seconds of the game. The last time I remember that Tennessee had those kind of miracles was in 1998 when they won the National Championship.
Unreal.... I do believe that UF could have seized the opp if Georgia holds on today. But I think the Vols will do no worse than split with Bama and Tex A&M. In fact.... I predict the Aggies beat them..... and then Tenn stages a second half comeback over Bama.
Bill, I am back from the ER now... Shocked three times and a shot of Adrenaline to the heart brought me back to life after that finish. :shock: 8) 8) 8) This reminds me of the Arkansas game that kept us in the Championship hunt in 1998. All looks lost and then the miracle occurs. On to one game at a time... aTm next week. Just remember people... It only takes 4 seconds to teach a Dawg to sit! :shock: Lord, please forgive me and feed the starving pygmies in New Guinea... 8)
A few other thoughts: Georgia elected to take a time out rather than the 10 second run off just before they threw what looked to be the winning touchdown. That left 10 seconds on the clock for us to make a good return on the kickoff and then 4 seconds for the long pass to the end zone. If they didn't take the run off, Georgia wins After that go ahead TD and kickoff return, Tennessee takes a time out to discuss the best play and the CBS commentators decide to reply "Larry Munson's call from 15 years ago when Georgia scored late to beat us. This time, for a few seconds, I was disappointed in Bob Kesling's call of that last play to win this game for Tennessee. He should have repeated the Hobnail boot call from our press box! The CBS announcers did play Bob Kesling's call of that play. I guess that it makes me feel good to know that Kesling did not fall to Munson's level. 8)
The celebration penalty on the non-winning second-to-last hail mary pass. The offside penalty on the ensuing kickoff. The non-defense by #7 in the endzone (not on uga thought to get between the qb and the target?). The three pillars of the ultimate surrender cobra.
Tennessee benefited from a few borderline calls and non calls. The got a pass completion call and no review that was an obvious incompletion. A substitution call (too many men on the field) that was technically correct but the players were steps from the sideline and the play was a spike to stop the clock a anyway. And then the two that Kesley mentioned. Nothing blatant, it just seemed that Georgia was on the wrong end of close calls and Tennessee benefitted from the non calls and non reviews.
:idea: I was flipping back and forth between Tenn-GA and FSU-NC. Both games came down to double miracles in the final seconds. I left FSU after their last minute TD; sure that North Carolina had no time to come back. I was able to watch both last second TDs in Tennessee's victory, only to discover that a similar ending had happened in the game I had abandoned...
January 1999 Fiesta bowl would have had you rolling in the floor laughing then. The whole Vol Nation in attendance was doing the Tomahawk chop in the last part of the game. But we called it "1st and 10... Tennessee!!!". 8)
