How much does this play a factor? I see it as a very significant issue. Still like tigers to win.

Not so much. We've been to A&M last year and the fans were crazy there. But we were able to handle it very well and came out with a win. If we're up by 2 TD's in the first quarter, they'll be quiet.

Kyle fields "12th man" is very overrated.

Hasn't georgia won 13th straight at home?
Not that that matters when Jeremy Hill is rolling in to town

I think the last time they played a top 5 or 10 team in Athens was the "Black out" game. Remember that/

It will be an electric environment need to keep turnovers and penalties to a minimum.

Yeah..or it actually could've been 3 weeks ago against #6 ranked SC, who we beat by 11.

And we've won 14 straight at home, the 2nd longest streak in the country. For a stadium that only gets as loud as MissSt we must be doing something right there.

Sanford can get quite loud if the fans want it enough.

Sanford is pretty loud, but the stadium's design allows the noise to escape. They are definitely behind LSU, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, and South Carolina in my opinion. I'm sure Tennessee is louder, they just don't have anything to cheer about.

Sanford Stadium can get pretty loud. This is a huge game for them, so I think that it will be the 2nd most hostile environment that Mett has played in since he took over the starting job. Much more so than Texas A&M and Arkansas were last year, but not as intimidating as the Swamp.

3:30 game, and it doesn't when fans don't live for getting home early. It will be rocking.

IS South Carolina the only ranked team during that span?

No, Auburn was ranked at the time.

But I mean, it's not our fault if a team is ranked or not, all we can do it play the teams on the schedule. And the SEC game was 3 weeks ago, so I'd say that's the most relevant game in the streak anyway.

IF (I even capitalized it ok?) we were to win saturday, by season's end we'd finish with 18. After looking, we've won 14 straight, not 13.
