Thursday Dawg Bites
Georgia’s football program shocks fans after a stunning loss to Auburn, overturning the once‑one‑sided rivalry. Despite a hard‑fought win over Alabama—where the defense struggled in space and quarterback Gunner Stockton threw two interceptions—the Dawgs fell short against Auburn, plagued by sloppy play and missed tackles. Coach Kirby Smart treats the defeat as a learning opportunity, hoping the upcoming bye week will iron out the errors before the next SEC slate, including a Florida showdown. The article argues that this loss could be the catalyst for a stronger push toward the SEC Championship.
Around the SEC Rethinks the 24 Team Playoff
The author debates the merits of expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams, citing the SEC’s recent parity where only four teams are one-loss and many are 2‑3‑0 after a week of upsets. With the league at 38‑2 in out‑of‑conference games, a 6‑3 SEC record could still merit a playoff spot under a larger field, unlike the current 12‑team format that favors near‑perfect records. While the writer prefers a 12‑team system with better strength‑of‑schedule weighting, they concede a 24‑team playoff isn’t completely unreasonable. Quick notes: Auburn cuts LB Xavier Atkins, Oklahoma’s John Mateer stays starter, and Texas quarterback Arch Manning remains starter despite inconsistency.
Wednesday Dawg Bites Wonders If There’s a Silver Lining
After a surprising loss to Auburn on Oct. 17, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart frames the defeat as a potential turning point. Smart highlights missed tackles, a mishandled field‑goal attempt, and the chance for ‘self‑scouting’ during the upcoming bye week as areas for incremental improvement. He also defends quarterback Gunner Stockton amid concussion rumors, emphasizing his fit for the team’s needs. The article notes Georgia’s broader SEC successes in volleyball and women’s soccer, and reflects on the broader sports context.
Tuesday ‘Dawg Bites Is Ready To Move On
Georgia Bulldogs fans digest a rough loss to Auburn (Oct. 17) and shift focus to off‑week updates. Top JUCO defensive tackle Christian Mays flips from Tennessee to UGA, joining No. 2 JUCO recruit Braylon Miller. Across campus, the women’s soccer squad clinches a win over Missouri, the volleyball team grabs a 5‑set victory in Louisiana (6‑1 conference, 14‑3 overall), and baseball beats Clemson 16‑4 in an 18‑inning exhibition. Meanwhile, women’s tennis heads home from Quebec, men’s golf wraps a Mississippi tournament, and women’s golf starts in Tulsa. The roundup reminds fans it’s still bulldog pride despite Saturday’s setback.
SEC Shorts Counts The Casualties
Georgia’s 27-24 loss to Auburn at Sanford Stadium on Oct. 17 sparks a tongue‑in‑cheek reaction from SEC Shorts, which lampoons the Bulldogs after a season‑defining upset. Coach Kirby Smart’s team struggled with a crucial turnover, while rival fans enjoy the schadenfreude. The piece also riffs on broader SEC turmoil, noting that even other preseason favorites are baffled by the chaos.
Monday Dawg Bites
Auburn shocked Georgia with a last‑second, 31‑28 upset at Sanford Stadium on Oct. 17, dropping the Bulldogs to No. 5 in the AP poll. Turnovers and penalties plagued Georgia, while Auburn’s strong rush kept them in contention despite a battered Bulldog defense. Injuries to Chauncey Bowens and Nate Frazier hurt Georgia’s run game, and the win highlights the Bulldogs’ need for health before their bye. Meanwhile, Georgia added recruit Braylon Miller, a late‑blooming Newton County talent who starred with a TD catch, two TD passes and a pick‑6 in a recent win over Grayson, hinting at a potential rise in his rankings before Signing Day.

Key matchups include #7 Ole Miss at #19 Texas and #14 Houston at #10 Utah, with a bold call predicting an Ole Miss upset in Austin.
What was Kirby Thinking?
Oh, you thought we wouldn’t be doing this one? Think again. Get the picture. The final horn has sounded. A college football game has ended, and a college football coach has added a tick mark to the loss column, not the win column. ”Vince Dooley’s starched white dress shirt!“ you exclaim, ”“What must that guy […]
10 Thoughts From A Terrible, No-Good Day In Athens
To quote the great philosopher Macho Man Randy Savage, Georgia finds itself today “unjustifiably in the position it’d rather not be in.” Now, after Saturday’s shocking loss to Auburn, the only thing left to do is bounce back and try and become the SEC’s Cream of the Crop once again. Here are ten thoughts from […]
Auburn 27, Georgia 24: Bulldogs stuff a season’s worth of dumb into three quarters, get predictable result
Kirby Smart is going to very shortly be telling the assembled media that his team is mentally and physically exhausted. He’ll almost certainly mention that humility is never more than a week away in the SEC. And I will quietly reply under my breath “Stupid is as stupid does, sir.” Georgia didn’t lose this game […]
Evening Open Thread
As you can imagine, I have a lot of thoughts about….whatever that was. I’m sure you do too. I’ll be along with the postgame wrap up shortly. But this will be our virtual living room for the evening’s other college football action. I am sure you all will conduct yourselves with your usual maturity and […]
Georgia vs. Auburn Live Thread
It’s a gorgeous, Chamber of Commerce day in Athens as the Bulldogs prepare to kick it off against the Auburn Tigers. A few last minute notes:
Hate Auburn When You Can
This week should have been about delighting in beating Alabama in the regular season for the first time in nearly two decades. Or it should’ve been about driving in our trucks to get ready to flatten Auburn. Instead, yesterday we got the depressing but predictable news that the College Football Playoff will expand again next […]
Chapel Bell Curve: The one with a solid statistical advantage
Yara and Nathan are back to preview this afternoon’s iteration of the South’s Oldest Rivalry. This one is actually a little more quantitative than average, but has some quality qualitative discussion thrown in. Among the highlights: And remember if you’re not an Auburn grad and consequently don’t need that extra change for probation fees you’ll […]
Game Day ‘Dawg Bites
Get up, Dawgs! It’s game day! First, your tailgate music. Ah yeah, that’s the stuff. If that doesn’t get you excited, your spark plugs need changing. And as if that weren’t enough, there’s this week’s official hype video. Keep stacking, y’all. On a less exhilarating note, the Friday night SEC injury report is out, and […]
Throwback Dawg Day: An Absolute Stunner In 2006
If you reflect back to most memorable wins in Georgia’s football history, there is at least some element of expecting success. No, that is not to say you expected the 2001 win at Tennessee with no doubt going in, that the 2007 Florida win was zero shock. You at least in those instances felt this […]
Cocktail Thursday: Auburn Edition
If your Georgia Bulldogs are taking on a feisty historic rival with a lot of banged up players coming off an emotional, physical road game you could probably use a drink. I can help you with that. There is nothing about Auburn University which is as good as anything about the University of Georgia. Of […]
3 Things That Worry Me About Auburn
First, here’s why I’m NOT worried about Clemson Without A Lake: 1. The Georgia Bulldogs are 7th in the country in tackles for loss allowed. The Auburn Tigers are 124th in team tackles for loss. With the holes created by the offensive line in Tuscaloosa, we might be seeing a big rushing day for our […]
Thursday Dawg Bites
Olive Garden once said, “When you’re here, you’re family.” Georgia playing Auburn feels a bit like that. Auburn is the cousin on your mom’s side who’s three or four years younger than you that you see a couple of times a year. You’re bigger than him, faster than him, stronger than him, and more athletic […]
Chapel Bell Curve: The one with the elephant in the room.
Perhaps you heard, the Georgia Bulldogs played a college football game last Saturday. Nathan and Yara are here this week to review it. That’s just how the world works, Dawgs. And for that we can all be thankful. Topics covered in this review include: Go ‘Dawgs!!!
Around the SEC Turns the Tables
Welcome to another edition of Around the SEC, where everything is made up and the points don’t matter. That’s right, the points are like the excuses and refereeing complaints from Alabama fans. Oh How the Turntables From 2008-2020, the Alabama Crimson Tide football program was the undisputed top program in college football. They rarely lost […]
The Morning Five
Welcome to the Morning Five, where I provide you five numbers that explain what you’ll see this weekend when your Georgia Bulldogs take on the Auburn Tigers.Let’s do it. 10. That’s the total number of touchdowns Auburn has scored in their last nine games against the Red and Black. The average margin of victory in […]
Wednesday Dawg Bites Is Enjoying The One-Sidedness Of It
Time is, as they say in some places, an interesting circle. In recent years, Auburn was able to use enough backroom muscle with the SEC office to have its schedule altered, so that it could avoid that good ol’ rigor of playing Georgia and Alabama in back-to-back games on the road. Even without mention of […]
Just How Good Has Gunner Stockton Been? This Good.
sure, you saw him thread, the needle time and time again against the Alabama defense on Saturday night. You’ve seen him take off running, take a brutal shot from an opposing defender, and get up grinning. But there’s a numerical tell that Gunner Stockton may in fact be a 1-of-1 quarterback in Bulldog history. To […]
