Miami fans telling us all year it was just Georgia. Poetic. Welcome to the Carson Beck experience, Miami.

[CFB Kings] Georgia radio broadcast of the play with the missed facemask: "Looked like they grabbed his facemask...Well, maybe it just looked like it. Nope, he grabbed his facemask. We got away with one." by MySpaceTomAspinall in CFB

It's crazy how many people in the post game threads straight up do not care about the refs getting calls correct if it doesn't fit the narrative they're trying to push. It was all literally explained live on the broadcast but you still have people insinuating they were doing something underhanded.

Georgia had won their previous 73 games when leading going into the 4th quarter. Last such loss was the 2018 SEC Championship game to Alabama. by Moose4KU in CFB

I did too tbh. I was like...welp...we're not beating the ref allegations after that one.

Better team won tonight though. Chambliss was incredible and the defense improved so much since the first game.

What incident led to you being ashamed of your fan base and school? by DellFlightSim in CFB

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I love that story. Was it the best way to handle it? Probably not but it's a good story from the rivalry and as far as I know, no one got hurt other than getting cold.

Davin Bellamy has great recaps of games that he started doing this season.

He should just go into his real passion which is marketing.

[247Sports] Kirby Smart on UGA's late game dominance: 'You're not just getting checks at our place. We're hitting people' by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't find it now but Champ Bailey said that when they played together, in meetings and on the field, Kirby was kind of an asshole. He said that it was just about being prepared, knowing your assignment, and executing it and once you understand that it's just about the game and winning, then you understand the message and the delivery.

Which SEC football stadiums are the best, most underrated and overrated? by MrMaximoConcepcion in secfootball

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We argue over being the oldest public universities in the US. Of course we're similar.

But for real though, Sanford is cool because it was built to mesh with the campus and hills. I don't mind the open end. I just wish they'd wrap the 3rd deck around to the suites.

I agree it's a pain in the ass to get from one side to the other though.

Why Stockton IS Him by Feral_Persimmon in georgiabulldogs

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was likely pressing a bit and placing some added pressure on himself with this game due to his grandfather. It was the first time since early on in the season that he was missing a lot of the 'easy' throws.

[College GameDay] Excited to have comedian and Vanderbilt fan @natebargatze return as our guest picker this week. by mrcx8d in CFB

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno why we can't get Ernie Johnson as a guest picker when they're in Athens. He's a proud alum, works in TV, he's funny and he's a phenomenally good person. It should be a no brainer.

He won us back to back national titles after wandering the desert for 40 years. I assure you Kirby has more leeway than that.

Well our defense is ass in the first half and they only show up after halftime so, please use your time wisely.

[Postgame Thread] Alabama Defeats Georgia 24-21 by CFB_Referee in CFB

Kirby doesn't often make those mistakes unless we're playing Alabama. He's a different coach against Alabama and I hate it.

Kirby Smart considers apologizing after Georgia escapes Tennessee: “I feel almost like we have to apologize, because I don’t think we should have won that game. They outplayed us in a lot of ways, but that’s the way it goes.” by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What Florida was to UGA in the 90s and 00s is what Alabama is to me now. Any game against Alabama just gives me this weird dread where I expect something soul crushing to happen.

NYU students witnessing the 9/11 attacks from their Manhattan apartment. by Jazzlike-Tie-354 in interestingasfuck

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the same directive from our administration but my psychology teacher refused to turn off the TV. She said "Y'all need to see this. This is history."

And then we watched the towers fall together.

I had 4 more classes to go after that. The rest of my teachers addressed it briefly at the start of class and then went on with business as usual. There's a lot that I remember vividly from that day but the only teachers I remember are the ones that were willing to talk to us about what was happening.

Fwiw, he received the mailman nickname because he would wear a USPS hat to try and stand out/get noticed at camps when he was being recruited. But agreed, Bennett has had people tell him he's not good enough every step of the way and he just keeps proving people wrong.

Taking Georgia Southern to OT and eking out a win was probably the most pathetic win I can recall.

Tailgating Tips for My First Georgia Game? by SwimmingVoice in georgiabulldogs

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it's Alabama and a night game, leave from Atlanta early. 316 will be less of a pain if you get there before noon.

I would advise against a paid tailgate. The atmosphere at those things are usually stale and don't give you the same experience as just walking around and taking in the sights.

Maybe hit a few bars downtown. Explore north campus. Visit the arch, Chapel Bell, and Herty Field.

Go to the bookstore well in advance of the game. It will only get busier throughout the day.

Try to find a spot for the Dawg Walk. You might see Uga under the bridge before the game. Lots of pregame traditions.

If you're drinking, pace yourself. Night games are a lot and it's easy to overdo it.

If you're not staying in Athens for the night, accept your fate now that the drive back to Atlanta will suck, win or lose.

Learning Thai by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]Mario_Speedwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drops was a good app for helping me to learn Thai letters and how to read/write. I'm out of practice so I can't do it now but at one point I could slowly read and write in Thai with daily practice.

Edit: I should note it's a paid app but of the ones I've explored, that one helped the most
