UGA fans being aggrieved that their future insurance agent QB isn’t getting Heisman accolades despite murdering everyone Ken Dorsey style is pretty fun. Best team in the land isn’t good enough, Hat QB needs a disrespect narrative too.

Stetson is AJ McCarron minus, which is to say a good college QB, and better than the non-AJ boring white stiffs that Bama won with. He's developed under Monken, who has figured out how to get the best out of Stetson (recall Stetson couldn't really get it going against an assy 2020 Florida defense.) Stetson is also a 25 year old playing college football.

Very frustrating second half of the game because it felt like we were always on the cusp of being in it, but Washington kept finding ways to keep drives going to extreme lengths.

Ewers showed promise this year but it got really exhausting watching him miss deep throws and last night capped that off.(yeah there was also worthy dropping it but ewers missed a bunch too) I hope Manning is the real deal. I'm still pretty meh on Sark but he is gonna get another year at least and I guess im somewhat optimistic with this recruiting class.

He had a great game or two early but seemed to regress mightily late in the year. I wonder if he aggravated the injury from the Bama game at some point. It also seemed like it could be mental. He got shook at some point in the year and just lost it.

Stet got dragged last year despite having numbers strangely similar to Bryce Young.

Young: 4,872 yds, 47 TD, 7 INT
Stetson: 2,862 yds, 29 TD, 7 INT

:monocle:

Edit: those are still good numbers, and a solid outing from this generation's Jay Barker.

MY WIFE doesn’t give the slightest poo poo about football and is totally mystified that I can watch it nonstop for 12hrs, but thankfully it hasn’t been much of a point of conflict since we started dating almost 13yrs ago. The key is to not be a weird, demanding manchild about it (like some of my friends have been :stare:).

the evening game timing really is an odd choice imo, i know a lot of people watch tv on NYE and aren't out having a wild time or anything but surely there is a lot of casual football fans who'd watch another evening but not at 11pm on NYE

i think that really does sum up what Stetson Bennett IV's whole deal is to me, he feels like a 2000s Bama QB who somehow fell into a warp and ended up at Georgia in 2018

huskies had an 11 win season and had the nations leading passer

and that guy is coming back next year.

I pegged them as 7-5 and they gave a great year. DeBoer took a 4-8 team and flipped them to 11-2 in one year. Holy cow Jimmy Lake was a bad coach lmao

Hopefully they can get better on defense because then UW could make some noise next year.

Always fun to see Texas lose also so last night was fun even with Penix having an off night. Credit to Texas defense bc 27 pts is pretty dang low to hold this huskies offense to even if it was a total Texas crowd.

Didn't they do this same poo poo a few years back and the ratings for the late game weren't pretty? I mean that thing is going to have to seem pretty competitive for me to even think about winning the primary TV battle at like 10PM on NYE

I feel like they manage to schedule the playoff games at the worst possible time to get people to watch them every year but I could be remembering wrong.

I think we talked about this last year. Didn't these games used to be on New Year's Day, which is way better?

Is it a quirk of what day of the week New Year's Day is?

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

A few years ago they did put the playoff games on NYE to try to turn that into a thing, but they got relatively low ratings. I think it’s only on NYE this year because NY day is Sunday. NYE is a pretty terrible time to get any casual viewers to turn in.

It’s funny for me because my wife is driving the bus on NYE plans and football watching. Last year we had to watch Michigan so we went out to dinner early. This year we are going to a friends party late so she can watch her wolferines. Makes it easier for me to negotiate sports watching.

2021. Stetson played hurt in the 2020 game and then UGA had to go to D'wan Mathis. 2021 he didn't really do much and didn't need to while Richardson got wedgied, wet willied, and then had his mother come out to midfield to say she never loved him.

Yeah, when the CFP was born, they had every arrogant intention of pulling an NFL and taking over a holiday with "a new tradition." Turns out college football is not, in fact, popular enough to alter the centuries-old routine of Americans getting blotto at NYE parties, so they had to admit defeat and tinker the schedule they'd originally set. I think this is the last year the semifinals are on NYE, but I could be wrong.
