I will say that next Sat is setting up nicely. Start with PSU/Wisky. Then Bama/Miami, then this brawl of a game and end with catching the last quarter or so of LsU/UCLA. Great way to kickoff the season.

I'm looking forward to and feeling anxious about this. Watching from 1500 miles away as my ancient archrival plays my second alma mater in the city where I was born means more to me than I can express. Georgia is traditionally one of the best teams in college football; Clemson has risen to the ranks of the perennial playoff elite. It was once THE college football rivalry in the nation, eclipsing UCLA/USC, Oklahoma/Texas, and Michigan/Ohio State. Now it begins again. I hope it is played hard, played clean, and there is no referee interference to stain it. I hope the Big Cats eat the Dawgs, of course, but either way, this is college football at its best.

Sure hope the mountains of the West have been treating you kindly. Now, enough of that sweet stuff, GO DAWGS!!! GATA!!!

Course looks familiar Pinehurst #2, where Payne Stewart did his famous pose after edging out Mickelson. I am actually working on a spot for the course/John Deere. There certainly are worse gigs in the world!

The line has tightened. Opened Clemson by 4 and now it's Clemson by 3.

The line has tightened. Opened Clemson by 4 and now it's Clemson by 3. thought it opened at 3.5 but regardless you never know what that means. A lot of sharps will bet it down and then once it goes under 3 they will pound it on the opposite side. People have this skewed version that Vegas tried to have equal money on each side and makes a living off the juice when in reality they watch the "respected money" and adjust lines accordingly. If it goes under 3 then you will see the professionals who like Clemson hammer that because it would be under a one score game. It's a science but they really could care less about public money. It is far from accurate but oddshark computer model has Clemson winning 41-31..they typically are only about 50% with the spread but do pretty good at predicting winners. In week 1 I would hardly put much stock in that but it is something I look at when making my picks.

I agree and the actual pros make their biggest wins in the first week or 2. fwiw, I've been checking the line every week or so and it's common for this game to temporarily be off the board at different places. My guess is someone or a few people made big bets and they pulled it for a day or 2.
I don't gamble because it's like trying to make quick money in the stock market. The computer models are 3 steps ahead of you.
I think it's interesting that the line didn't move all that much after UGA lost all the receiving weapons and Clemson got Ross back.

One more thing, I don't see this as a 3 point game. The winner finds success on offense and wins by a large margin.

Kirby talked to the media and updated injuries:
Starting TE Fitzpatrick is back. Not really a surprise Arik Gilbert still is not with the team. Kirby is still "praying for him". Tykee Smith (S) and Darnell Washington (TE) are still day to day, but the beat writers all think they're out for a few weeks. Warren Ericson (C) has been practicing and appears to be good to go. He lost the starting job to Van Pran and it doesn't look like he got it back.
Kirbs is generally full of shit about injuries and practice is closed, so take everything with a grain of salt.

Taison Pho is back and Tony Elliott said he is a walking miracle. Said he has earned the two spot back already and it’s because he is moving so well, making good decisions, and can make plays with his legs
Crazy to hear after just 6 months but it appears it is legit that he is back and ready to rock

There is a lot of smoke around Shipley getting the start at RB. I don’t think he will but Tony Elliott said yesterday if that’s who Spiller decides to trot out first series he has no issues with it

Looks like Darnell Washington might be ready to play Saturday. He may play but I highly doubt he is full speed or in football shape. I’d imagine if he does he will be a decoy and play limited snaps. Time will tell

Time will tell Depends on how truthful Kirby has been about his injury. Nobody went on record saying he had foot surgery, so maybe it was something minor and Kirbs just played it up. Or maybe he suits up and never sees a snap. Kirby had Daniels suit up and claimed he was cleared for a few games when in reality he wasn't able to play.

Most importantly:
Clemson, Orange hats and jerseys with white pants Georgia, Red hats, white jerseys and silver britches

Dabo said in his presser they will probably have multiple guys in at Center. If true, that's a disaster waiting to happen.

Rumors from camp are that those guys rotating are better than most NFL centers and at Clempson, you must be plug n play to even be considered for a scholarship.

Mainly because Black and Orange would be more appropriate on 31 October I guess. Actually, as much as I am old fashioned and prefer traditional uniforms, this notion about black uniforms being bad has gone a bit overboard. It is not like Georgia has performed badly in black. They are 6-1 in that uniform, including a huge win over Auburn and two New Years Six bowl wins. Of course everyone remembers that Alabama game, but Georgia could have worn purple and gold and it would not have mattered that night.

That Alabama Black Out game is probably the biggest ass kicking I've seen UGA take. Saban pulled back or it would have been 60 - 0.

So, I guess we should be prepared for a Justin Bieber type dance off in the end zone after UGA scores first.

The center situation is concerning but I think you’ll see Bockhorst and Rayburn getting reps but mainly Bockhorst if Tate holds up at LG
