Georgia vs TAMU: Jake Fromm hits George Pickens for game’s first touchdown

Georgia football QB Jake Fromm hits UGA WR George Pickens for a TD vs Texas A&M.

After an ugly first 20 minutes of football in the Georgia vs Texas A&M game, Jake Fromm and the Bulldogs’ offense were finally able to put together a drive that resulted in a touchdown.

Fromm had struggled all first half until eventually he hit Tyler Simmons on the sideline for a 27 yard gain on a back shoulder pass. The next play, Fromm hit Kearis Jackson on the same play but to the other sideline for a gain of 22.

Next thing we knew, Fromm had the Bulldogs offense in the red zone, where he was able to hit freshman George Pickens for a 16 yard touchdown.

Georgia Tech QB in postgame interview: ‘THWG’

Georgia Tech QB James Graham kicked off the trash talk with UGA football.

Quarterback James Graham and Georgia Tech (3-8) took down NC State (4-7) Thursday night in Atlanta.

For the Yellow Jackets, you’d think they had just won the College Football Playoff after seeing the reactions from the players and fans on social media and in Bobby Dodd Stadium.

But in reality, the Jackets beat a Wolfpack team that came into the game with a 4-6 record.

Next week, Clean Old-Fashioned Hate is resumed for the 114th time when Georgia travels to Atlanta to play Tech.

Despite its 3-8 record, Tech is sounding awfully confident with the Bulldogs looming on the schedule.

Following a 28-26 win over NC State, Tech quarterback James Graham, who did in-fact have a nice game on Thursday, kicked off the trash talk between the Dawgs and Jackets in a postgame interview with FOX5’s Cody Chaffins.

“I’m ready for next week,” Graham said. “We’re going to show the world what’s up and hopefully we’ll get a win next week too.”

When asked what next week is going to mean to him, Graham said:

“THWG. To hell with Georgia.”

 

 

Paul Finebaum thinks Georgia football can win it all

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum believes Georgia football can still win the CFP.

Paul Finebaum, while on the set of SEC Nation which was posted up in Athens today ahead of Georgia’s final SEC game vs Texas A&M, says he believes that the Bulldogs can win the national championship.

“Call me crazy, but I still think Georgia can still win the national championship,” Finebaum said. “I have not understood so many people wanting to write them off. … What are they missing? This is a really good football team and Kirby Smart is doing a little bit of rope-a-dope.”

Georgia still has two more tough ones ahead of it if it wants to even get into the College Football Playoff, but with the way the Dawgs are playing this month, especially on defense, it’s really not that crazy to think they can make another run at the national title.

The Playoff committee has Georgia at No. 4 for a reason.

UGA football great, Chicago Bears LB Roquan Smith feeds 65 families in Montezuma

Georgia football great and Chicago Bears star LB Roquan Smith fed 65 families this Thanksgiving in Montezuma.

[protected-iframe id=”27f9e3f006de1060a314e3c900087204-138341236-125811012″ info=”https://media.13wmaz.com/embeds/video/93-9a0f4dbd-d330-44aa-8539-b3f335f717c4/iframe” width=”640″ height=”360″]

Georgia football great Roquan Smith, now a star linebacker in his second year with the Chicago Bears, helped feed some families this holiday season at the “Gratitude Huddle” event back in his hometown of Montezuma, Georgia.

Smith partnered with the Boys and Girls Club to feed 65 families Chick-fil-A.

A hot plate of chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, a salad and cookie is what Smith, who was unable to attend the event because of work, was able to provide for these families, who showed their appreciation to the Montezuma native.

“His hometown means everything to him,” said Smith’s mother, Shaquana Thomas.

“Our family is the foundation of who we eventually become and we don’t ever want to lose that focus,” said Smith’s aunt Shaquwanda Baker.

Georgia, Alabama miss out on 5-star linebacker

Georgia football, Alabama and a few other SEC schools missed out on a commitment from 5-sta LB Noah Sewell.

Georgia, Alabama and a few other SEC contenders missed out on securing a commitment from a five-star linebacker on Friday night from the class of 2020.

Noah Sewell, the nation’s No. 2 inside linebacker out of Orem, Utah, tweeted his commitment to Oregon after winning the Utah 5A state title game on Friday.

Sewell, a 6-2 266 pound linebacker, is a monster of a player who is too small for the defensive tackle position but too big for a defensive back. Once he slims down a bit and adds some more speed, he will be a huge difference maker for Oregon for years.

Sewell comes from a football family. He has three brothers who currently play college football; one is an offensive tackle at Oregon, one is a linebacker at Nevada and the other plays safety at Utah.

Sewell visited Georgia on September 21st for the Bulldogs’ game vs Notre Dame.

 

#UGA24: Future Dawgs post amazing reaction videos to Twitter after being accepted into Georgia

Students who were accepted Early Action via Georgia admissions posted amazing reaction videos to Twitter after becoming members of #UGA24.

On Friday, high school students who applied early action to the University of Georgia were made aware if they were going to be future Bulldogs.

For those who received the good news, this was more than just another college acceptance letter; it was a dream come true.

Students who were not accepted, don’t give up. Work hard and good things will come. Remember, all roads lead to Athens.

This year, Georgia received 16,585 early action applications and made 7,025 offers of admissions.

Kylie Dunlap was one of those fortunate enough to be admitted. A senior at Cherokee High School in Canton, Georgia, Kylie’s excitement poured through the phone screens of everyone who watched her reaction video on Twitter. The joy that not only overtook Kylie, but her parents as well, was contagious.

This video of Kylie and her family prompted me to search for some more clips of soon-to-be Dawgs receiving the best news possible.

And they did not disappoint.

Here’s Kylie’s priceless reaction.

Congratulations, #UGA24. You said your prayers, you worked your tails off, you loved your parents and you shouted ‘Go Dawgs’ every Saturday since you can remember.

You earned this.

Georgia football tickets vs TAMU: Stats and info on price trend

Stats and info on the price trend for Georgia football tickets vs Texas A&M.

Georgia vs Texas A&M this Saturday will mark the first time the two two programs have met since the Aggies joined the SEC in 2012.

And with this being No. 4 Georgia’s final home game of the season, ticket prices are not coming cheap. However, they are cheaper now than if you were to buy them just a few days ago.

This weekend’s game is averaging $317 per ticket on the secondary market and the get-in price is currently $88, down $50 earlier this week, according to TicketIQ. The average price has gone down 21% over the course of the week.

Also, with Georgia having secured a spot in the SEC Championship Game, tickets for the conference title game have skyrocketed.

Tickets for the 2019 SEC Championship are the most expensive of any conference championship, by a lot. Currently, the average asking price for a ticket to the game on the secondary market is $1,285, up from $820 last year, and the highest it’s been this decade. The next priciest game was the 2017 Georgia-Auburn game, which settled at a $945 average asking price. The cheapest ticket in the 71,00-seat stadium is trending at $343. The next most expensive 2019 conference championship is the Big 10 Championship,  starting at $92.

The Bulldogs have a real shot at making another visit to the College Football Playoff, and with Georgia’s success comes an increase in ticket prices. Playoff tickets are up over the last two weeks, as you can see below.
