Hate Week Opening Line

[CEB]

Here’s a bold prediction. This game will either be close or be a blowout.

I know this much… if it’s close, it’s 100% because of us.
Gag needs style points and if they smell blood in the water, they will do all they can to make it UGLY.
There were some sourpusses last year saying Gag played conservative. Didn’t buy it last year and there is NO way that could be true this year.

You think UGA might keep it close!?!

Agree that uga will try very hard to run up the score. If we can keep it close they might get frustrated and commit a critical error.

When these futures lines get posted, they get taken down when teams are playing an earlier game. Likely since they don’t want to expose themselves in case of something material like a major injury.

I think it’ll drop a couple of points. Overreacting versus appropriatly reacting is a fine line. Umass’s offense success was a pleasant surprise and to a lesser degree, ugag’s starters playing deep into the fourth helps our cause too.

We have a chance. Let's just start AP, get the OL pissed off and play defense like our hair is on fire!

Go Jackets!

UMass is a very bad team. Arguably much worse than The Citadel, Virginia, UTEP, or Wake Forest. And all those other teams got hammered far worse.

My fear is that uga was taking the day off in case they squeak into the SEC championship.

I don’t know their roster well but it looked like they were physically present. Mentally, who knows? But that applies to much more than this game.

I wouldn’t be surprised at some point in the future for a game like this to look like an NFL week 18 matchup whereby one team plays all backups. But this wasn’t that.

Interesting Article by Mark Bradley. I cherry picked a couple of paragraphs below.

"Tech isn’t ranked – it received one vote, that for the 25th spot, in this week’s Associated Press poll – but it’s a team nobody wants to play. The Jackets are clever. The Jackets will fight you. They’re rotating quarterbacks, which never works, but it worked against Miami and did again Thursday against N.C. State."

"Even in a season that saw a bad loss at Syracuse, a not-great loss at Louisville and King-less drubbings versus Virginia Tech and Notre Dame, Tech has kept the faith. Much of that is due to Brent Key, the alum who became the coach and who has, without offering soliloquies about “branding,” branded this as a rising program in a league where anything seems possible."

Bradley’s Buzz: Tech shouldn’t beat UGA, but does Tech know that?

Georgia Tech folks will remember this season. To bleed seven wins – including two major upsets and three last-gasp victories – from a stacked schedule, and to have done it despite a significant injury to its most significant player … well, who could ask for more?

It’s been less than 24 hours and I want to enjoy the win, but it’s never too early to start hating the Clarke County School for Drunk Drivers.

Opening as a 20.5 underdog, roughly where Auburn and Kentucky were.

I don't know about this. It depends on which UGA team shows up the one that beat Texas, Tennessee, and Florida or the one that fooled around against Kentucky. They are more than capable of running up the score on us by four TDs or more.
