You're a sick, sick man.  I can't make it 10 seconds when they start taking calls.  It's like I'm back in 1990 with Austin public access and Alex Jones.  I used to prank call him with my friends when we were in like 6th grade.  From what I've seen with Finebaum's "callers" there isn't much difference.

Why do you hate juvenile humor?

Did you never go trick-or-treating and fire up a couple of flaming bags of dog shit as tricks?

I think he's looking for the exact dates.  That won't be announced til sometime next year I'd imagine.

Remember with the mouse owning all the rights we should continue to get the schedule earlier than otherwise.

The 2024 schedule was announced on Dec 13 last year.. middle of the week after the Heisman weekend.

we’ll see if they do similar timing this year, but my guess is that they’ll hold until January after the CFP is over.

Would seem a little odd to compete with the news cycle leading up to the CFP, but maybe not since ESPN controls so much of the CFP as well.

Incoming rant. Experiencing firsthand the misinformation machine that is the media surrounding the SEC is pretty eye opening. The disconnect between what the announcers are yapping about, what the media is putting out all week, and what is happening week to week on the field is alarming. How many times during the Florida Georgia game yesterday did we hear something along the lines of “Georgia needs to recapture the form they had in Austin” or “they’re not playing as well as they were before the bye week”? And if you were to just look at the score you might not think twice about those types of comments but watch the game and anyone with eyes can see that Georgia is playing exactly how they have played all season and it’s November so it’s not like a trend can’t be established here. The offense was terrible even before Etienne went out, and prior to the last few minutes of the 4th , it was nonexistent without him. Carson Beck hasn’t done a single thing this season to suggest that he won’t continue to turn the ball over in terrible fashion in critical spots every week. He’s also so ugly that it hurts, and I am counting down the seconds until I can watch #11 drop his nuts on Beck’s face. The only difference between the Florida game and Texas game for Georgia was that Florida wasn’t gift wrapping the ball and consistently giving the Georgia offense extremely short fields like Texas did in the first half 2 weeks ago. Go back even further and watch the first half of the Alabama Georgia game or the Georgia Kentucky game, it’s the same thing: a below average offense led by a below average quarterback getting consistently bailed out by an awesome defense against inferior opponents. So, Texas beats OU 34-3, but now the narrative somehow is Quinn Ewers sucked and held us back and OU wasn’t a good team anyway so that win shouldn’t count for anything? Even if Quinn admittedly had a below average game for his standard, why don’t Georgia and Beck get the same treatment? We beat a good Vandy team on the road last week and Quinn looked hugely improved from the last two games, yet the narrative is we barely squeaked it out in a one score game against a bad team? Kirk was praising Beck for battling through adversity after throwing his THIRD PICK AGAINST A 4-3 FLORIDA TEAM AT A NUETRAL SITE. So now I guess we’re praising guys for being anything but absolute ass and complete liabilities to their team. The fact that Georgia was even still in the game at the point when Beck threw his 3rd pick is 100% a testament to their defense, despite their shit offense. How many other QBs are getting praised for coming back after their 3rd pick and just turning around to hand the ball of and toss a couple bubble screens to grind out a win against A 4-3 TEAM AFTER COMING OFF A BYE WEEK FOLLOWING BEATING THE NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE COUNTRY ON THE ROAD? And it’s not like Florida has some unreal defense. They were out half their secondary and Beck was still throwing picks all over the field. His second one was to a DE that had dropped into coverage. He sucks. The refusal of the media and many fans to watch the games and draw their own conclusions is unbelievable. There is an epidemic of non-ball knowing going around right now and it’s wild to watch unfold. We’ve already seen this cycle of early hype despite some glaring issues and eventually disaster play out for a few other “top dawgs” in the SEC like Mizzou, Ole Miss, and most recently the Aggies so watching it happen again and again every week is wild when it’s pretty clear from actually watching the games what is going on with these teams and how legit they are.

So what QB wins 1st team all-sec ???

Pavia maybe ?

I think still TBD.  QE has 4 games left.  We go 4-0 and he puts up 250+ yards a game, I can see a pathway for him being in consideration.

Taylen Green hurt??

 

 

Sounds like not that serious according to reports.  He was pulled after the injury, but returned for a play and they pulled him so as not to do more damage, he was seen jogging on the sideline.   2 weeks to heal up, likely not 100% but we'll see the big kid when we get to Fayettnam.

To summarize, UGA sucks and UT handed them the game with turnovers in the 1st Half because Ewers was worse.

Got it

Glad you said it cause I didn’t have it in me to write all that out- great post and on the money. Beck is battling through adversity and Quinn gets lucky is the new mantra in the media. They both are playing not well but would argue Quinn is playing better. Should I duck now!!!!

Got it

Well, the ill-conceived kickoff return, holding on said return, the offense going 3 and out, and then a shitastic punt gave them one of the TDs without a turnover.  If you want to be precise about it.

The SEC does seem like they suck at setting schedules..... Somehow we have Kentucky having played 7 SEC games already while Texas, LSU, & Mizzou have all only played 4.  Meanwhile Vandy gets two bye weeks in a row after they face Souf Carolina this Saturday.  Plenty of regarded to go around the horn honestly.

Wat

After USCE on 11/9, they play LSU on 11/23.  According to my math (carry the 3) that's 14 days between games.  That was always one bye week in the old math.

I really hope Vandy plays the pimp music when he makes his stadium entrance.

And I wonder if the crowd would go wild or collectively go "wtf is that?"

He was on their Jumbotron throughout game when Texas played them. They 100% have embraced him.
