It sure is nice to be able to come to a competitors board and have civil conversation. I may brag a little every now and then, but that is to be expected to a degree. But I will always be both polite and respectful. The easy part is reading the rules; the hard part is understanding the cultural differences and not knowing the subtleties that might sound like a slight.
Y'all gotta remember that we deal with Bama fans, and that may be the most sensitive fanbase in America! Georgia fans actually don't hate Bama or Saban, but we have found that you never want to give them a negative fact
Georgias fans hate Flarduh and The Barn (Auburn) but actually don't hate Bama...I know, weird.

Sublime. Where's the nearest golf course?
Out and to the left of the pic, in Blairsville. Pic was made looking to the north.

Sure wish McDawg had told us where the beautiful vista from his house was located. Looks like the view from my cabin that I had when I lived near Blairsville, GA.
Y'all may get more of us Dawg fans on the forum as the game in Atlanta draws nearer. Most who bother to visit will be very cordial and are serious college football fans. One of my best friends is a Duck grad and fan. We hope to head East for the game in September. On the subject of H & H series, Georgia has scheduled a number with football powers for the next 10 years, and I know many Dawg fans who would love to travel to Eugene for a game. So you never know what could happen.
The pic was made on the Richard B Russell parkway ( Hwy 348) between Blairsville and Helen. It isn't at my house tho! LOL But not too far away. It's near Hog Pen Gap, Cowrock Mtn. Yeah...just south of Blairsville. It's pretty nice.
Yeah...Dawgs love their bourbon. Ask any Dawg and he will tell give you a list of favs: WL Weller Reserve, Angels Envy, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare.....errybody has a list. Y'all gonna think we're a buncha alcoholics here in Georgia.

Nice!!
Here’s a pic from near where I live.

It's a great way to pay the bills and have a little left over. Tough work but great work for sure.
Exposes you to some pretty good hunting lands too if you're a hunter. I hunt so my eyes would be skinned back all the time!

Aiken is a great small town, growing to small city size.
Texas BBQ vs southern fried chicken? Tough choice!
Not only did I not get Master's tickets, for the 70th + year in a row I did not get invited to play! Can't believe the US postal service could to fail to deliver my invite so many years running?
Being a true southerner, I have had BBQ from all over the south and there is nothing like Carolina Sweet. My son was recruited by quite a few schools all across the south and nearly every school always had BBQ. Appalachian State had the best by far. And yes, he went to App State.
Oh hey...my wife's cousin has had tickets to Augusta since something like 1960....they were passed down from his dad.

We have been slapping around dAWGs for a few decades now. Don't see a lot changing in 22. Seriously though, lets have some fun and make new friends. You will find Duck fans have a high Football IQ. Enjoy!
Those dogs in Seattle aren't worthy of the spelling "Dawgs"
I'd about guess you will be able to see the difference.

Hello Dawg friend.
Hats off on the break through last year. It was good to see Kirby finally get over the Saint Nick hurdle.
The only thing that frustrates me no end is that the game on 9/3 is being played in the ATL and not 'Tween the Hedges.' Anytime, anywhere for a H+H series but I don't like one off games against quality SEC teams in Dixie. It's not like Pac-12/SEC teams are not playing H+H.
For example, Utah plays in the Swamp on 9/3 with a return game in SLC next year. Arizona plays the first of a H+H with MS ST this year. So, it's not like SEC teams will only play in LA (like LSU H+H with UCLA) for west coast recruiting juice. Down the road, Arizona has a H+H scheduled with Bama.
I live in Aiken, SC. Once a year we make a point of tripping to Athens, GA.; absolutely, one of the best college towns in the USA.
There is no doubt that the enthusiasm for college football down south is off the charts compared to the Pac-12. Eugene is one of the few Pac-12 towns/cities where the enthusiasm for CFB comes close to what you see in the SEC.
The line is UGA -15. I have a bet down on OR +15. It will be interesting to see in what direction the line moves? (You didn't have enough quality TEs? You needed Gilbert Too? SIGH.)
I know NIx is 0 for UGA. But at least he has played ball in the SEC and the crowd in Atlanta should not intimidate him. BTW, I love what your QB, The Mailman, overcame to start for Georgia.
The only place where I respectfully disagree with your post. The Atlanta metroplex is not representative of a city down south in the manner of Tuscaloosa and Columbia, SC. Too many darn Yankees have moved to Atlanta.
IMO, adult beverages and respectfully screaming your lungs out is what CFB is all about.
Thanks for the visit. Look forward to 'talking' with you about the game.
Whew! Lots to unpack there! Yes. I would liked to have seen a true H&H but I am pretty sure these Chic Fil A games pay both teams pretty well and are good for both as a one off. Yeah, it won't be like being in Sanford ( Between the Hedges) with all the tradition and pageantry, but to be honest, Athens Ga in early September can be hot as ya mommas kitchen cooking turnip greens; it is unpleasant and provides an almost unfair advantage to SEC teams. Anyone who has experienced Georgia heat in August can testify. Utah has a good squad, but that Gainesville heat will be tuff on em.
Yup. We gots some good tight ends. I saw where someone posted that they were upset because Bowers was a Cali kid that came to UGA; I am pretty sure there's plenty of kids on PAC rosters from the south too, so it is what it is. But yes, we do have some pretty special TE's. Probably the best in the country. There will be some 13 for sure and probably some 14 sets.
I don't see the line moving much either way, unless there is some tectonic shift in rosters or unforeseen changes in staff. I think the line is right, but Oregon could easily cover.
Bo Nix is an enigma. He is an athlete more than a QB in my opinion, and that gives him more of an advantage. It will be interesting to see how Lanning molds that to his philosophy. Crowd and atmosphere won't bother him much, but he know UGA's how athletic and fast UGA's defense can be.
Yeah. Atlanta sucks. I hate Atlanta and everything about it. I have friend who live there and say the same. Nicer than most metro areas, but its still Atlanta. The traffic is so bad that "Atlanta is only an hour away from Atlanta." Take Atlanta out of Georgia and you've got a higher class version of Alabama. All that said, go to the CFB Hall of Fame while you're there.
On 4/25/2022 at 2:21 PM, Quackerbacker said:Thanks for stopping by McDawg. We are pretty excited to come to Atlanta and play the reigning national champion this fall. Especially since we have your former Defensive coordinator as our new head coach. I live in Texas, got to see the Ducks play Auburn in Arlington (Bo Nix was the quarterback). Jerry's World is a pretty spectacular place, plus you can't beat the food in Texas. I like the one off's actually. There is a lot of excitement and anticipation for these games and the venues are usually pretty nice stadiums. Not to mention a chance to check out the local food and beverages establishments.
It's going to be a great way to start the season, we might even surprise you guys a little bit!
Jon my daughter graduated from USC Aiken a few years back. That's a pretty little town. Makes it easy to go watch the Master's if you are lucky enough to get tickets.
Good chance to surprise. I am looking forward to hearing more about the Ducks from the fans before the talking heads screw it all up

We love our football here and our drink. We might get a little loud sometimes, but we don't mean any harm.

No, I am not a troll. I just like to come to a new opponents board to try and learn a little about your program and maybe shed some light on my Dawgs. The conferences and cultures are so vastly different so I hope I might can shed some light on what and who we are, and maybe even prepare you for the culture shock of coming to Atlanta. I did this several years ago when we played Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl, and it was fun and interesting. After all, y'all got our boy Lanning; hes gonna be a good one for you.

Dawgs Fan From Georgia: What I Hope to Learn and Share
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
Napier is going to elevate Flarduh pretty quick. Ive known him and his family for years; went to church with them, his dad coached my son, been to their house a 100 times. Billy knows football. His dad coached till his death if als. Both his brothers are HS head coaches. AND He’s next level class character for them and that’s something the gatas haven’t experienced. They’re gonna be much better but it may take him some time. Mullen left the cupboard bare. Give him two years and fu will be 9-3 or better.
I don’t really know how the Utes stack up against a limping Flarduh, but even a weak lizard squad is dangerous with decent coaching in the Gainesville heat. Early September, in that part of Flarduh and it could be 110* at field level and 98% humidity . It’s like trying to breath through a wash rag in a sauna. Utah will feel the heat bad. Conditioning will be huge for them but you just can’t prepare for that kind of weather. FU will give ‘em a game for sure.
In places it’s not terrible. Most people here hate the hogs. They’re considered a non game animal and a pest. Destructive critters. I’m glad there’s not many around the little farm I live on.
Good whitetail, good bear, and good turkey tho. Fly fishing is pretty good here too.
