Welcome to Tuesday, SEC Champion Bulldog fans! Can we call this the 3rd off week of the season? The regular schedule is complete, the SEC Championship Game trophy safely esconsced back in Athens for the sixth time, and Georgia now awaits the Green Wave/ManBearPig winner on January 1 in New Orleans. So this is like an off week, right?
Before we get to news & notes, should we not revel a little more in the whipping Saturday night at Mercedes-Benz? There’s a “BTA” trend kicking around, but I like the stylings of one Michael Philip Jagger. Ladies & Gentlemen… The Rolling Stones!
The Bulldog defense brought the whip down on the Crimson Tide all game long, and for the last time in 2025 we can turn to the intrepid folks at the Red & Black for a position group breakdown. Sure enough, they thought highly of Georgia’s front, backers, and secondary in Mercedes-Benz.
The whip came down on Brent Pry a couple of months ago in Blacksburg, but that didn’t stop him from answering James Franklin’s “you up” DM over the weekend. Pry has now been hired as the Defensive Coordinator at Virginia Tech, after being terminated by the same Athletic Department September 14th. No word on if he has to wait 30 days for his benefits to take effect.
The CFP committee whip came down on Notre Dame Sunday afternoon, as Macondawg told you yesterday. It couldn’t happen to a more entitled deserving program. The subsequent refusal to play a bowl game has set off decisions by several other team, and the slope is officially slippery.
Irish Athletic Director Pete Bavacqua has doubled down, and now states the ACC has caused “permanent damage” to the ACC/ND tryst by pushing South Beach instead of South Bend to the playoff committee. Something tells me this is a good excuse to open up a bidding war for part-time Irish services.
The whip came down on Iowa State and Kansas State, administered by Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark. The conference is fining each school $500k for refusing to fulfill the league’s bowl game participation requirement. Reports say both schools decided after meeting with players. Does that mean the players would rather spend this time preparing a film package to send to prospective transfer schools? I don’t get it. Like, at all.
With all that havoc, somehow all the bowl games have come to agreement with teams, and there are a few rundowns if you’re interested. Mississippi State was the beneficiary of this tradition-bucking, and will now play in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl vs. Wake Forest. Just like Burgermeister Meisterburger approving of drying stockings, Georgia will play in the Sugar Bowl, as is proper.
Don’t look now, but Georgia men’s basketball has the 3rd most in “Others Receiving Votes” category in the latest AP top 25 poll.
Things are fairly quiet otherwise, as final exams are in full swing and students are about to leave campus. That doesn’t mean you should relent razzing any Bama fans you come across, or letting all the Vols, Barners, and Gators know that Georgia is once again king of the best conference in the country. Have a conference championship day, Bulldogs, and as always…
GO ‘DAWGS!!!
