ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hosts Jim Hardin and Blake Giles discuss the big call in the Alabama game. Hey, officials make bad calls all the time, in every game. You will not find any support here for the proposed 24-team playoff apparently coming in 2027. How good is Georgia? Very good. The defense is great, the receivers have quieted the doubters, and quarterback Gunnar Stockton is playing like the best quarterback in the SEC. Don’t forget the impact of kicker Peyton Woodring, the latest in a long-line of great kickers at Georgia. This week the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry re-news. Can it be a rivalry if one team has won nine in a row? There have been many great games in this series. Elsewhere, is Texas merely an average team? And what is the best 2-point strategy in overtime. Kentucky has gone for two in the first OT and won its last two games by identical 35-34 scores over South Carolina and LSU. Oregon’s strange 2-point approach backfired in its loss to UCLA. Speaking of Kentucky and UCLA, are they this year’s “Indiana” or a flash in the pan like Vanderbilt? On the high school front, the bug game locally is the “Backyard Brawl,” featuring Prince Avenue Christian at Athens Academy. Finally, Jim goes home with a couple of pieces of 16-layer chocolate cake—it’s legendary—made by Jan Giles. Get off the sidelines and make some headlines, folks.
