- Beat them by 30 in Gainesville -our final three games are A&M, at Bama, Ole Miss - Georgia reeling and needs a signature win to make the big dance -Georgia plays much better at home Quick turnaround. Hope we aren't complacent Tuesday.
Good thing Mike White is still on the other sideline. That should make it extremely difficult for UGA to win anything against anyone at this point in the season…
It's still Georgia, so I think we'll be ready. Hatred for them and all they represent is hardwired into the Gator DNA.
It is the normal turnaround, but the fact both LSU and UGA are on the road does make for a very short week. Got back late last night and will head to Athens tomorrow. Not much practice time.
Dog people are 2-9 in their last 11 games. The 2 wins were vs South Carolina in Athens and vs LSU in Athens.
Older NBA players play back-to-backs. I always find it strange that younger college players would have a hard time with 2 days rest
We need to come out and pounce on them early, take the crowd out of the game and keep them out of the game
We’ve played several trap games the last few weeks, including last night at LSU, and have answered the bell each time. Georgia will be another big challenge.
Actually, lots of NBA players skip back to backs these days. But rest isn’t what makes a college turnaround rough. It’s travel in conjunction with classes, plus limits on contact hours and game prep. You get back overnight Saturday, then have film review, probably time with the trainers, and just a little court time on Sunday, then classes Monday with practice to prep for UGA before leaving on Tuesday morning, probably. Not a lot of prep time in there. Donovan hated the Saturday evening-Tuesday evening turnarounds (but not as bad as the Wednesday evening-Saturday early turnaround that they seldom do now).
Yes, some do skip them...and yes classes so add an extra challenge, but when I think of Lebron playing a back to back on Thursday after arriving into Portland at 3am then proceeds to score 40 in 36 minutes later that same day- all at 40 years old - I think these kids should be ok. Plenty of downtime to study and they play 1/3 of the calendar year. I do get that it's not ideal, nor was Wilt playing 48.5 minutes a game in canvas shoes for 80 games.
It is a rivalry game. Stuff happens. The Dawgs will bring what passes for their A game. Like lots of posters have said you cannot sleep on any SEC team. We needed to pull the road game at USCe out of our nether regions.
Ugh, not looking forward to playing on that court... it's like watching a game on black and white tv.
This. Even if they get hot, we can count on Mike White to TO his own team and pour water on them for playing too fast.
