It’s moreso a product of the expanded playoff imo. UGA the last couple years has been forced to play in the SECCG it didn’t want to be in and managed to get banged up. Both years I still believe we would have won the natty if not for the stupid SECCG as we blew our load too a few weeks too early.


Also Kirby would have beaten Saban in the 23 SECCG if they correctly called the incomplete pass before half that resulted in a Bama TD, but everyone forgets about that.
Now we are right at the spread line. Just need one more point

Still pretty likely to beat the spread. Get a TD on this drive and I'd say it will happen
liked the blitz, they just made a perfect throw

I’ve done Talinn, Riga, and Vilnius (in addition to Helsinki and Stockholm).

I’d rate them Talinn>Riga=Vilnius with maybe just a slight edge to Riga. Talinn is nice with the old town essentially being a giant medieval walled city with cobbled streets and a castle. Theres lots of history from the Danish conquest in the Middle Ages to the occupation by both Nazi germany and Soviet Union.

Riga is different mostly since it is flatter and more open in areas. It definitely felt a bit touristy though since there are mobile bike riding bars around town. The market is quite large in a WW2 zeppelin hanger and that was fun to see.

Vilnius was cool and seemed bigger than Riga. They have a castle on the hill on the banks of the river. I felt like the locals were some of the most hospitable in all of Europe. Just outside of Vilnius is a little fortress on a lake called Trakai which is definitely worth a day trip.

I’ve done the ferry from Helsinki to Talinn, think of it as a giant cruise ship, the Baltic Sea is fairly shallow and it was calm when I did it, also very foggy where you couldn’t see much. I also took a cheap 10€ bus from Talinn to Riga and later from Riga to Vilnius.
(Personally I would not recommend Helsinki alone as it is nothing special. The Russians made it the site of the capital in times of modern history and for that there isn’t a medieval old town. Turku would be a better choice if you were to go to one. Also I think much of the nordics are better appreciated in nature outside the cities.)

UGA has bested Texas 3x in two years. No one with a brain should honestly think they are better than UGA

Cristobal is too fricking stupid to take a knee, he is propped up by a weak conference and the NIL.

My only warning: there is a bagel/breakfast joint just off downtown. They steam their bagels. It was a maddening discovery. I don't know the name, but I wandered into G'ville unwarned. You don't have to.


He’s referring to Sully’s Steamers. And yea they are pretty good. Another breakfast place I’d highly recommend (even moreso) is Biscuit Head

Depends what you are looking for in Greenville. Shopping? You can check out Haywood Mall. Feeling like a little outdoorsy without rising to the hiking level? Try Lake Conestee Nature preserve. Or would you rather bike? Then the swamp rabbit trail.

Lots of microbreweries in Greenville. The reason for this is secondary to the low level of impurities in the water system. Yeehaw is right downtown but honestly kind of mid. I’d recommend you check out Southernsides in Unity park which is a more typically brewery atmosphere and with more games and things of that nature.

Let me know if you have any questions
How many hours does he spend thrifting? For all the time he puts into this he could just pick up some extra work shifts and still manage to pay for a trip in the same amount of time or less

Given the same scenario (clock to be reset at 9 seconds before the second Hail Mary attempt) if that clock moved from 9 seconds to zero in 3 seconds, would you still make the "its official" argument, or would you recognize there was an error somewhere? Time is objective and the magnitude of the error doesn't matter. In this case the errror was less than .6 seconds, but it is no different than if it was 6 seconds regarding being right or wrong.


My problem with this premise is that if it was a 6 second jump, it would equate to a 33% decrease in time but if it was 0.6 second jump that is a 6.6% reduction in time. In my mind that falls within the standard error used for timekeeping throughout the game. We don’t go back and review snaps outside of 2 minutes in the fourth quarter to see if we got it right, and if we fall within the standard margin of error used at other points in the game, then why wouldn’t we be okay with it for this occasion?
Aliens would step in and prevent that from happening, just like they watch over nuclear sites to ensure nothing crazy happens
UGA let you rent the book for the semester so the price only ended up being $100 or less. It didn’t work for every class but I recall the textbook rental being available for about 65% of my classes
Just go to AI already. These replay officials have no balls to make a correct call
another instance of refs siding with the name brand
Is it possible NBC isn’t synced up to the game clock? I am disappointed as the rest of CFB fans but also see all the photos are based off the NBC clock.

Edit: Just saw another clip synced with the scoreboard. Ball hits the players hand like 0.2 seconds after the clock goes to 0. WMU got jipped
Quebec City

Montemorency Falls....it is not a hike but a short (like 0.5 mile) walk
The Parliament Building is free entry..there are some exhibits and you can see the architecture
The Citadelle is worth a tour
The Museum of Civilization was more than worth the price of admission
I think peak CFB is in our rear view mirror. I hardly watch all the games like I used to just 5 years ago. Players getting paid had a lot to do with that on top of advertisements being shoved down our throat every 5 minutes. I think the average fan is not happy with where the sport is headed and you’ll get a lot of stadiums looking like this in the fall, especially with lower tier games

You most likely wont need reservations for lunch/dinner early in the week. There generally isnt a line and if one tent is super busy you can try one of the 17 others.

For Thursday/Friday/Saturday you definitely would need reservations for the evening. For lunch if you show up early enough, lets say like 1030 they will likely have space for you, in my experience.

You're right they generally don't go lower than 4 people reservations for tables. When I went, I had to buy a table of 6 for a group of 4 at one tent....but you can easily sell off the extra wristbands/beer and meal coupons they give you if you are inclined to recoup some of the cash.

Many people stand outside with the hopes enough people leave so they can get inside. Usually the line never moves fast and you can end up waiting for hours (ask me how I know). But in my instance I went out to the line and found some folks who I asked if they'd be willing to buy a wristbands and they said yes. There is no doubt someone will be willing to pay to get in, people in the line get desperate.

If I were you I would book reservations for 2-3 of the busier nights and then roll the dice for the other times. With as large as it is, you'll find an open tent on the off nights for sure
