Title: Georgia-Florida
Post by: Nashville4UGA on October 25, 2017, 02:38:17 PM
Well, it's that time of year again. Georgia-Florida, Florida-Georgia depending on which team you are for.
UF on a 3 year win streak in the series.
UGA won the 3 before that
Last 6 meetings series is tied which is different from the norm of how this series has gone for years.
UF 6-4 in last 10.

UF comes into the game 3-3 with losses to Michigan, LSU, and Texas A&M by a combined 19 points.
3 Wins over Kentucky (by 1), UT (last second hail Mary by 6) and Vanderbilt (by 14).
Lots of turmoil around this program coming into this one with McElwain's seat relatively hot. 
Surprising stat UF has outscored opponents only 142-140. 

UGA comes into the game 7-0 having outscored opponents 263-88. Other than the Notre Dame game it just hasn't been close in the other games with backups getting alot of reps late in games. Everything is humming along pretty nicely for the Dawgs, plus they get a few defensive starters back for this game, as well. 

Anyone care to predict the score in this one and why?

If UGA is for real then they blow this game open.  Do that and I'll stop doubting the Dawgs.  

McElwain's seat is hot?

How could it not be?

Because it's not.  McElwain's seat is hot only to the radical fanatics.  He's 3-3 when 4-2 was probable at full strength.  He's had his top RB & WR suddenly out all year.  

The nearest time-wise he'd be let go is late 2019, and that's only if this season sucks and 18 and 19 were disasters.

i personally believe the dawgs of athens to have the best startin defensive unit in the game right now.  I'd also pit their offensive backfield against anyone anywhere and come out on top more times than not- they're at least in the top three backfields.  they have demonstrated, at times, an ability for their d line to be pushed, and they aren't rock solid in the O tackle as ends have slipped past more than once... that may be due to well selected defensive plays i'll be fast to add, catching those tackles shifting opposite and making it look as if they were beat when they weren't, exactly.  

if i was blind to colors i'd say the dawgs handle this one easily....... but this is a rivalry that stands out as a rivalry no matter what state your arse is parked.  

i still think the dawgs prevail- but i wouldn't be surprised for it to be an account involving wire time.

FYI, Florida's point differential is a little out of whack because the game against a cupcake was cancelled.

Also, because we're not that good.

I can't see a single match-up the Lizards win.  I am generally pessimistic about this game but I think this one gets ugly, something like UGA 41-UF 10.

Ok, if I take out UGA's games against cupcakes: (App State and Samford)
UGA is outscoring opponents 190-64

You may very well  be right but Kirby's Dawgs don't look like Richt's Dawgs so far.

I would say say this is proof that ole Jim’s seat is hot.

Florida's luckier than a big eared dog they beat us because of bad play calling and a hail Mary then got a holding call against KY in the last minute that took KY out of FG range and possibly a winning TD.

Georgia is the best team in the SEC right now this game won't be close.

I guess Florida's been lucky 10 of the last 11 years, right?

Ah I see what the deal is.  UF is looking into whether McElwain's death threats actually happened.  So it's not exactly a results thing.  If they find the accusations false, then maybe there's no buyout....

he can get naked and hump a fish, but better not lie about death threats... hehehehheeehehehee

This is so weird.  I fully believe in what I posted earlier, if things were solely results-oriented.  This random lying about death threats thing....strange.  

I could very easily see McElwain browsing different college football sites and reading plenty of threats to him and his family, but do death threats not count if you seek them out online?  Or simply UF is seeing this as an opportunity to let him go as they realize he's not THE guy?  

If they can get out of his buyout over this, that's probably the deciding factor.  McElwain is meeting with the brass this morning.

Yep I was right the Gators luck ran out and Georgia put a good old ass whoopen on them.

The only reason Fla. scored Georgia ran in their scrubs which could start for Butch.

We were in King's Canyon NP and I fiddled with the radio in the rental and barely got a half time score in this one.

It made me happy.

I think Coach Mac was not a "fit" at UF for whatever reason and the death threat comments were a straw too many.

We had a Mustang convertible that was nice for seeing stuff but that car has some issues.

Who can UF get now that will turn the program around?  I mean, doing better than 2 divisional titles in three years?

This year looks like a "wash out" to me for obvious reasons.
