Well, it's here. Fuck Georgia Week is in full swing, with the mangy Mutts coming to Jordan Hare this Saturday for a 2:30 tilt on CBS. My ample-sized ass will be on the Planez, with the Cajun Assassin in tow. In getting straight to the point, my expectations with regard to a win, are extremely low. My expectations on what version of Harvinz' Horde will show up, are much greater. More on that in a jiff.
Let's face it, FUGA is simply a much more talented team all around that our Tigers. They've cheated, err, recruited out the ass for quite a few years now, and this club is loaded from top to bottom. They may very well be the best team in the nation; however, I think Bama is more well-rounded. As GH has noted on several occasions, FUGA doesn't fare nearly as well when they face a truly potent offense, as evidenced by the Bama and Florida games last season. That won't be the case this weekend. Bobo's bunch ain't exactly the Kansas City Chiefs, although Bo Nix did his best Patrick Mahomey imitation this past weekend at Red Stick.
I hate FUGA. I hate their fans and I hate that cesspool of an overrated college town they call Athens. And they'll descend on Auburn Saturday like cock roaches on the remnants of a roast beef sammich left out overnight on the kitchen counter. But it's on the field that spikes my skress level. I watched Arkansas self-implode with a myriad of mistakes, without an offense that has the weapons to get back in the game. Then I watched 6'5" 360 pound, Jordan Davis, line up over the center and then promptly run down a hapless back trying a speed sweep around the left side. Davis was faster. I don't envy Nick Brahms. "The Oldest Rivalry in the South" stands at 61-56-8 in favor of the Dawgs, much of that lead in part due to Gus Malzahn's inability to recruit on FUGA's level, and putting in game plans that a 6th grader could pick apart.
As a result, Auburn has one win in the series since 2013, a 40-17 raping in 2017. Otherwise, we've only scored as many as 14 points once in that span, which brings me to what I really want to see Saturday. In Pat Dye's first year, Auburn faced a FUGA team that was far more talented and heavily favored. Auburn didn't win, but I think I shared the same sentiment as most fans as I walked out of the stadium. Dye's bunch served notice that day, that they would naturally get after your ass. And it was apparent that adding some talent to that roster would quickly make his program one that nobody wanted to tangle with. That came true.
Bryin Harvinz comes off as a hard-nosed sumbitch, demanding max effort and requiring each player to have accountability in everything they do. That's how I see it from the outside looking in. I want Kirby and his program to leave JHS knowing this bunch is just a recruiting season or two from challenging for the SEC crown. I'm not ruling out a win, but I desperately just want to see something positive on the field Saturday, instead of the pathetic, no-chance garbage that Gus ran out there so many times. The stands will be filled with some of the biggest name recruits we've brought to campus in a long time. I want them to see a program they want to be a part of, and one they feel like they can help take to Atlanta.
Pre-Dick-Shuns tomorrow. As for today, Fuck Georgia.
