I was in attendance for the Blackout Game my freshman year in Athens. In the words of Carl Spackler, “So I got that going for me, which is nice”.Ĭhuck and correctly predicting sports success in the state of Georgia, the tag-team we didn’t know we needed in 2021.įinally, Dawgsports’ Joey Hnath, aka me, myself, and I, has had enough. While Barkley’s track record for making guarantees is mediocre at best, he did recently guarantee the Atlanta Braves would win the World Series. In what is usually the kiss of death for a team, TNT’s Charles Barkley guaranteed that the Bulldogs would win the national championship tonight. We didn’t throw a pick to Malcolm Butler to lose the title. When the Dawgs had the ball on the one, we fed Zeus. Woof, talk about your all-time backfires… and also Sherman’s prediction was horrible as well. I don’t know if this is true or not, but I do know for certain that, given the chance to win the game with the ball on the goal line, we will not run a slant. Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman stated that he believes that the Tide will blow Georgia out again. We’ll never know if this was a troll by Spurrier or not, because he nailed this one. He may truly believe the Dawgs will get revenge much like his ’96 Gators did against FSU to win the title, however, he could be trolling the Dawgs yet again. Well, the Ol’ Ball Coach believes the Dawgs will lift the trophy tonight. Computers are supposed to be smarter than people, right?īefore Nick Saban, the thorn in Georgia’s side was Steve Spurrier. The FiveThirtyEight model is giving the Dawgs a 55% chance of winning tonight’s game in Indy. Though Finebaum usually is very pro-Alabama, he is even more pro-SEC, so the Dawgs winning it all didn’t bother him. Salty Bama fans have made this win that much sweeter. Tuesday’s Finebaum Show was, in fact, delightful, including this call from Fred from Alabama. Tuesday’s Finebaum Show is going to be delightful with ecstatic callers from Georgia, Pawwwwlllllll. To no one’s surprise, Finebaum is taking Bama tonight. The other five, well, usually placing your faith in Nick Saban isn’t a bad thing, but in the words of Juba from Gladiator: “Not today”.Īn all-SEC title game would not be complete without a prediction from Paul Finebaum. The staff of the Athletic, with notable names such as Stewart Mandel, Andy Staples, and Nicole Auerbach, believes Alabama will be national champions by a 5-4 split in vote.Īri Wasserman, Bruce Feldman, Stewart Mandel, and Max Olson: we salute you for believing in the Dawgs. You can hear Cowherd’s horribly incorrect take in this epic video by Mitchell Smeak. Spoiler: Cowherd was proven dead wrong (as well as Stephen A. I always enjoy when the talking heads with the hot takes are proven dead wrong. Couldn’t be me.Ĭolin Cowherd always as something to say, and this time, Cowherd is saying there is no proof Georgia can be competitive against Alabama. Imagine waking up today and your team hadn’t won a natty since before Obama took over the Oval Office. I always knew Forde and Johnson were smart – even if Johnson is a native of Gainesville, where they haven’t experienced a national championship since 2008. Pat Forde and Richard Johnson are leaning Georgia, while Ross Dellenger and John Garcia are opting for the Tide. Sports Illustrated’s staff is split down the middle for Georgia and Alabama. Don’t mistake this as an accountability post this is absolutely an “I told you so” article. Some predictions were good, others not so much. On the morning of January 10 th, several hours before kickoff, we rounded up predictions on that night’s game. It’s been nine days since that glorious night in Indianapolis.
