I actually fully understand now why visiting fans are always asking for directions to the field after the walk from the tailgate as I was one of them. I do think it's funny how you refuse to acknowledge it's an important game (and in particular this particular version of it) yet you have like 500 posts between the pregame thread and game thread this week, but hey man, keep fucking that chicken. Is this week a big game? Just let me know if I should be excited about going or not.

I've come to believe over the years his Texags persona is largely a bit that has made him a shit ton of $$$. Nothing about meeting him in person really changed that. I do think he's a true fan for sure and was a bit down, but I didn't get the impression he was surprised at how it played out. Like I said, was complimentary of Sark, roster he's stacked, what we've done with NIL etc.

Great game and 24 hour trip to college station. My takeaways: 1. Tailgate scene was solid. The one we attended was a great setup and probably 20% Texas fans. The shocking thing to me was the lack of port a pottys or other restroom options. Apparently they used to open up Reed arena for that purpose but stopped. Luckily bladder of steel was in effect and was able to hang on until stadium but it was a mess with that many people tailgating. I know that can be problem everywhere for busy events but seemed worse. 2. Ingress/Egress from stadium was a mess. Felt like you had to walk forever around and through a tunnel just to get to stadium that was right in front of you if there was a direct shot. Then long ramps to get to even the 100 level endzones (we were in 200). It's certainly not close to Cotton Bowl bad but makes you appreciate our stadium. 3. Crowd was loud in first half until that 2nd TD drive and that just gutted their fans. All their noise felt forced after that. Even when we fucked up in the 2nd half and gave them a chance I don't think any of them really believed they would pull it off. I think a big chunk of that stadium absolutely felt with certainty they were winning that game until they went down 14-0 and reality set in. It was great to witness that type of deflation in person. 4. Quinn was absolute nails in the 2nd quarter. If we can just put that together for an entire game nobody can beat us. 5. My wife and I were only Texas fans in our section within probably 4 rows and 15 people either direction. The meltdown from the stands after that targeting overturn was epic. Pure grown men temper tantrums all around. F bombs galore, "T.U. ref conspiracy" etc. etc. It was like a live Texags thread. Just great. 6. If you had "at least we'll win halftime" from an Ag in the stands on your bingo card check the box. 7. Post game Eyes was fantastic. Not sure how much they showed on TV but team stuck around and soaked it all in. Sark in particular appeared to be loving life. Of course he watched Day lose 4 in a row earlier so no doubt nice to start the rivalry renewal off with a pretty dominating road win. 8. Ag fans were fine (to us) before, during and after game. No issues at all which is consistent with past experience. It's not Lubbock or Columbus (or from what I hear, Baton Rouge) that's for sure. 9. I was expecting a mess after game but it was worse than I thought. Ended up walking to Northgate to grab a drink and wait out uber situation as didn't know what other option we had, but long lines everywhere and basically no cell service at all first hour. Ended up being a good time after a couple of drinks and just enjoyed the victory. We actually met Liucci in the flesh at a bar post game. Nice guy in person and was very complimentary of Sark, the team/roster, etc. All in all, solid road trip and great time. Now on to Atlanta next week!

Well shit. Great game.

In their defense, they have probably ran through their entire 2PT/3rd and short call sheet.

They have got to stop this timeout bullshit when you get to the conversions. Stupid rule.

LOL. I've never seen a team drop more passes.

Great defensive play call there.

This damn game is never going to end.

JFC play the damn game Kirby.

Run the damn ball with Haynes King

Would like to see replay again but looked like maybe a bit of a pick by UGA before the PI

I mean not when you lose the ball on contact.

Ouch

Haynes King. Georgia Tech Legend.
