The dude has a problem and not the least of it is that he puts smoking pot above playing for the University that you and I hold dear. UGA shouldn’t let Patrick play any more games with a G on his helmet. He used the term “Bulldog Justice” with an air of both a thumb aside his nose and another up his ass. He pretended to know facts that he can’t possibly presume to know. Schultz was his usual pompous, arrogant, click bait self. Yesterday, the AJC’s most prolific pontificator since Terence Moore left town, Jeff Schultz weighed in. The facts are: 1) he’s known as much for being in the wrong pot at the wrong time as much as he is for making tackles, 2) the charges following the SECCG were dropped, 3) he subsequently both passed and failed a drug test, and 4) UGA is playing coy about his future. Like you, I’ve been following and subsequently been confused by this Natrez Patrick affair. Deshaun Watson wasn’t Clemson’s starting QB yet back then.

Georgia last played Clemson to open the 2014 season and throttled the Tigers in Athens, 45-21, behind four touchdowns and 293 all-purpose yards from Todd Gurley. The Dawgs haven’t beaten Alabama since 2007 but have played only three times since.

Incidentally, the 2015 Bama-Georgia matchup referenced above was the only time this decade that the Tide opened as a betting underdog. Check Bovada for latest odds on that game. Either Georgia or Oklahoma would be an underdog in the national title game against No. UGA’s last win over a Heisman winner in the same season was in 2007 over Florida and Tim Tebow – the infamous “Gator Stomp” game. It last happened in 2015 when Alabama running back Derrick Henry rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown in the Tide’s 38-10 win in Athens, a loss that helped spur the end of Mark Richt’s tenure. This will be only the 10 th time since 1966 that Georgia will face a Heisman winner in the same season the player won the trophy. Cuz those sonsabitches are sitting at home with nothing to do but live vicariously through the rest of us. To root for other SEC teams is a Tennessee Hillbilly kind of sad. But just because you think highly enough of the Gamecocks to bet $50 on them doesn't mean you need to cheer for them to do well.Īnd if you show up on my lawn wearing orange it'll be a race between my youngest and my dog to see which gets a hold of your ass first. If you placed a bet, I hope you don't lose your money. But I'll be thrilled if they lose instead. I've picked my share of enemies to win some of those games too. "But Bernie, what if I picked an SEC team in my bowl pool, or maybe even placed a wager on one of them to win a game?" At least when JR'd eventually stab me in the back he wouldn't smell like rank possum meat and gin while he did so. I'd root for Russia over Florida and I'd prefer to be friends with JR Ewing over Philip Fulmer. Since we all know they ain't playing in no bowl game this year.) So, you'd sit next to this and high five it when they scored? (Hypothetically. My heart skips a beat whenever one of our conference rivals' quarterbacks throws a pick six.

The same way I hated it when Tennessee won the National Title in 1998, and don't even get me started on the Gators during their hey days. So was I filled with pride when they'd bring home another state title just because I was from Athens? They were bigger and better at most things as I was growing up. Our cross town rival was Clarke Centtral. Many of you may know that I graduated from Cedar Shoals High School. And I hate watching those other teams win.

I can't stand all of the Cracker Barrels in the SEC. I can't stand the other teams in the SEC. It's a practice that I fail to understand. Some people like to root for our own rivals. It will be the first of nine bowls that feature a Southeastern Conference team, and thereby sparks up the annual dialogue about the myth that is "conference loyalty". Today Missouri opens SEC bowl play in the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl against the Texas Longhorns.
