Re: Vandy opens as a 31-point underdog to Georgia
I was hoping maybe they had forgotten.
Pretty presumptuous -- but absolutely typical -- of him to imply that the stadium will be full of Ooogas.
I was there two years ago and I believe there were more Ooogas there than any other opponent that I've ever seen. I think I've said this before, but the Oooga guy sitting diagonally in front of me had one of those dental-floss picks in his front teeth the whole night, with his lady friend sitting next to him. Honest!
This is the one game this year that I cannot make it to, but I hope there's a good Black & Gold turnout.

Re: Vandy opens as a 31-point underdog to Georgia
Ahhh. Not surprising that Toledo again is at the epicenter of conflict given the War between Michigan and Ohio for it back in 1835. However counting Notre Dame as a “quality loss” is suspect as Notre Dame needed overtime to beat Florida St with a loss to Jackson St and a drubbing by Wake. So back to NO chance.3rdFloorDyer wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 9:03 pm Yes but....Vandy beat Colorado St. who beat Toledo who gave Notre Dame all they wanted...we've got a chance!

FSU didn't play Jackson State (Mississippi). They played Jacksonville State (Alabama, no - not joking)belair wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 10:36 pmAhhh.

Jacksonville State University is a public university in Jacksonville, Alabama. Founded in 1883. It is between Gadsden and Anniston. Until they beat FSU, their claim to fame was having a marching band with over 500 members.

Re: Vandy opens as a 31-point underdog to Georgia
Looks like the “mileage” is up to around 35 at most places. That’s probably more accurate.
Re: Vandy opens as a 31-point underdog to Georgia
Oh yes my bad. Jax State does have a good divinity school. Maybe that played into the W.MrMemorial wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 12:34 amFSU didn't play Jackson State (Mississippi).

I hope they lose to Florida and Auburn and don’t even make it to the SECCG or the playoffs.charlestonalum wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 8:18 pmSmart mentioned it in his presser along with the inference the stadium would be full if Dawg fans ,- so you can mention it, I suppose.

They need some humility.FayetteDore wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 8:00 pm Are we assuming that the oddsmakers are or are not taking into account how hacked they were last year when we cancelled the game due to Covid.
If I'm not supposed to mention this, let me know and I'll quickly delete.

Re: Vandy opens as a 31-point underdog to Georgia
I think you have them confused with another school. Jax State is a public college in Alabama but it does not have a divinity school.

Re: Vandy opens as a 31-point underdog to Georgia
Samford University (Birmingham) offers 3 Divinity/Ministry degree programs. Since Samford rhymes with Stanford (who we just played).... easy to see where the confusion emanates from.

Re: Vandy opens as a 31-point underdog to Georgia
Nope. Not rooting for Bama. No way no how. Today was brutal, but still pulling for UGA on the season as the "most likely to prevent yet another Alabama title".charlestonalum wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 8:18 pm
