I assume we are heavily underrepresented?

I didn’t write that. That’s Ryan Scates who does the Poor Man’s Game Notes. Figured I’d share. He’s a DGD, a great attorney on SSI and a member like me of The Greatest Organization On Campus.
Of Note: Our Cajun Kicker
Junior All-SEC specialist Peyton Woodring, a native of Lafayette, La.,is a three-time Lou Groza Award semifinalist.
This year, he was a 2nd Team Coaches All-SEC pick and twice named SEC Specialist of the Week.
Woodring’s Career FG% of 89.06% (57-of-64) is on track for a school record as the current mark belongs to Rodrigo Blankenship who posted an 82.47% from 2016-19, making 80-of-97 attempts.
Blankenship holds the Georgia and SEC record for Career PATs, going 200-for-200.
Woodring ranks second in school history as he’s 169-for-169 in PATs.
In 2025, he has a team-high 95 points (15-16 on FGs, 50-for-50 on PATs, 77 Kickoffs, 56 Touchbacks, 4 Out of Bounds).
Scored 10 points (3 FGs, 1 PAT) in 16-9 win over No. 23 Ga. Tech
Successful onside kick against No. 10 Texas when No. 5 Georgia led 21-10 in the 4th quarter on its way to a 35-10 victory, first one recovered since 2013.
Scored 13 points in 43-35 win over #5 OM, hit a 51-yard FG on opening drive, a 35-yarder to end the first half to cut the deficit to one, and nailed a 42-yarder to extend lead to eight with 2:06 left to play.
__
Under Kirby Smart, the Bulldogs have blocked nine punts and eight field goals. There’s three players on the current squad with a block for Georgia.
In the 2025 SEC Championship Game win over No. 9 Alabama, senior Cole Speer blocked a punt in the 1st quarter. It led to a 21-yard drive and a 7-0 lead

This will be Georgia’s 13th all-time appearance in the Sugar Bowl where it is 5-7.
Georgia enters the CFP on a nine-game winning streak.
The Bulldogs are in their fifth CFP, all under Kirby Smart, with a 5-2 mark including winning back-to-back national titles in 2021 and 2022.
In its last four games (three of those against top 25 opponents) the Bulldog defense has allowed just two TDs, five field goals and forced 39 punts with five INTs and nine sacks.
Georgia owns the nation’s longest active bowl streak now at 29 seasons.
Since 2019, the Bulldogs are 7-1 in their past eight bowl/CFP matchups after a CFP quarterfinal loss to #5 Notre Dame in the 2025 Sugar Bowl.
Georgia has made 63 appearances in a bowl/CFP game with a 38-22-3 mark. The appearances and wins rank second in FBS.
The Bulldogs won their 16th SEC title on Dec. 6 in Atlanta with a 28-7 rout of No. 9 Alabama.
This is the first time Georgia has won two straight SEC titles since it claimed three in a row from 1980-82.

The sUGAr Bowl
Posted by TLA on 1/1/26 at 2:16 pm
I hope everyone is coming off a good Christmas and settling into that exciting, pleasant hum that beats on the horizon when the Mean Machine starts rolling toward New Orleans.
This is our fourth College Football Playoff appearance in five years, which is absolutely insane when you stop and think about it. Especially when you remember that the one Georgia team that didn’t make the playoff during this run may have been our best (the 2023 squad that went undefeated and then beat Florida State 63–3 in the Orange Bowl.) But I digress.
The 2025 Bulldawgs are an all-time operation. We’ve got a quarterback who already belongs to the folklore. He dates Vince Dooley’s granddaughter. His grandfather was arrested “between the hoses” at Auburn and later died in a Jacksonville parking lot after the Florida game, lamenting Todd Grantham’s defense. All of that is true. No notes. It’s how we all want to live and die.
On the field, this team has done nothing but take scalps. Exhilarating, improbable wins in Knoxville and after dark at Auburn. Statement wins at home over the best Texas and Ole Miss teams in generations. An arse-kicking in Jacksonville so thorough our aforementioned QB hero took a knee on the one instead of stepping over the goal line for a gratuity touchdown. And earlier this month, we finally closed the curtain on any lingering afterglow of the Saban era in Atlanta. A brighter shade of red now sits atop the SEC pinwheel.
Which brings us to the Sugar Bowl.
There’s a certain romance to this game that got lost for a while. It used to be an end unto itself. Then it became a consolation prize. Today, it’s a stepping stone to something bigger, but it’s still a big game, in a very unique SEC city, and this year against a school that probably mythologizes New Orleans even more than we do.
Growing up, the Sugar Bowl felt like the grand dame of bowl games. Stories of family members making the pilgrimage to New Orleans and seeing (doing?) who knows what in the Quarter were passed down at holiday tables and became mythological in their own right. I know many of you feel the same pull.
So here’s to a long lunch at Galatoire’s, milk punch all around before they run out. Dinner upstairs at Commander’s. Eating to the point of regret at Clancy’s. Oysters at Drago’s. A room at Arnaud’s. Café du Monde…or Café Beignet if the first sight of that line breaks your spirit. Here’s to politely agreeing with Ole Miss fans that “we’re actually very similar,” while carefully not expressing the deep, private horror you feel that they sought higher education and social identity in northern Mississippi.
Here’s to eating and drinking, drinking and drinking, that unmistakable smell of stale alcohol on the cobblestones, and the feeling that your own cadre of ancestral ghosts have done this exact same thing…making it feel like home even though it’s weird, and it is absolutely not home, and it is probably as close to Satan and his merry band of demons as we will geographically feel in this mortal coil.
Which fits.
Because, as we all know…
Them Dawgs is Hell.

34th SEC Championship Game Georgia vs. Alabama
Posted by TLA on 12/4/25 at 1:09 pm
Fellow Poors, I bring tidings of great joy.
Your Georgia Bulldogs have rolled through another regular season with wins over Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Texas, and the North Avenue Trade School. That’s two straight years of running that gauntlet clean, and it still feels a little unreal.
Never in the long history of this sport has Georgia been this good - for this long. We are living inside the golden age.
And yet… that one team to the west still lingers. The unwelcome visitor to this era of Bulldog bliss. The Cousin Eddie of the Georgia Bulldog Experience: Alabama.
And wouldn’t-you-know-it, that’s their damn gypsy caravan of RV’s headed down I-20, where crossing the state line into Georgia means stepping into both enemy territory and the into future itself, literally by an hour on the clock, and figuratively in every other cultural sense.
What makes this meeting even stranger is that it may not matter at all. The way the new College Football Playoff works, Georgia and Alabama might very well end up playing again in a few weeks. Maybe even in this same building. Maybe even for something that the the white guys in suits will insist is “bigger.” Spare me.
The stakes have never been lower for a game that still makes everyone sick to their stomach.
Win on Saturday and you collect a trophy that used to mean something, then wait a month to play a playoff game for TV.
Lose, and you miss the trophy but get a home playoff game against Virginia or Tulane or some other team that would be around the 6th most interesting game played on UGA’s schedule the season.
None of this feels like the sport we fell in love with. Nobody fell in love with college football because of a bracket reveal. Nobody’s heart was stirred by sorting out the 7-seed versus the 10-seed.
What is it that stamped this silly ritual on our minds and made it a part of our collective cultural identity, so ripe for commercial exploitation? The pain of hearing Rocky Top or Gator Bait after a big play. The joy of walking to your car and sitting in traffic in the dark after winning at Auburn.
And what is it that is eroding that attachment faster with each passing year? Trying to figure out whether your team is better off losing a game to improve its TV-trophy seeding.
But here we are. Pigs at the trough.
Georgia is playing, and all of us, no matter how stupid this system gets, are going to want them to win in a way that is absolutely not healthy.
So let’s lean in.
This week’s PMGN is built around the romantic December Atlanta weekend that only still exists in our collective imagination: Bones, Pano’s & Paul’s, Seeger’s. Johnny’s Hideaway. The Pool Hall. Tailgates staged in the ballrooms of private clubs. The Alliance Theatre at Christmas. The old Egleston Festival of Trees.
The glowing cream-with-black-spider-web-roof of the Georgia Dome on a cold night while red and black floods the streets.
Maybe this game is a glorified exhibition. Maybe it’s a prelude to another chapter of this same matchup. But it’s still Georgia against Alabama in Atlanta…and the chance to ruin an Alabama fan’s night is enough for me.
To the Cause of the Poor. Go Dawgs.

Did I miss something?
Schu won’t be getting any head coaching jobs if he can’t figure out how to stop an offense in the first half. It’s becoming more than a trend now. He can’t continue to dig a hole that the offense has to dig out of. Complimentary football requires both sides of the ball to do their job.
Schumann ain’t the guy.

I don't follow, Stockton played the Sugar Bowl in a split dome
I consider Stockton as more “experienced” as having been in the program three and a half years as opposed to a true freshman Fromm who had been with the program all of about nine months. GS has been in these stadiums, played in games, and is the unquestioned starter the whole offseason. I don’t see Fromm’s start at ND as a trump card in this instance. But again, this is semantics.
