Get up, 'Dawgs! It's game day! First, your morning tailgate music:
Let's take a look at the need-to-know news prior to kickoff in the Classic City.
As is our custom, we start with the official football hype video, featuring a scene that will surely bring a smile to the lips of those who remember " the railroad track crowd ."
DawgNation has five keys to the game, including of course a discussion of the topic du jour, the expected heat. I concur with Elijah Griffin, who notes that there's a reason the Red and Black condition in the heat during the summer and practice in the heat in the fall.
There's also a reason Kirby Smart's roster includes 105 players, and it's likely that at some point today we'll see a solid majority of them.You're going to want to keep your programs handy.
And while there's a lot of college football to be played between then and now, ESPN's Mel Kiper, Jr. already has his eyes on a pair of Bulldog defensive backs for the 2027 NFL Draft. One of the things that distinguishes this Georgia defense, a reason it really could be a special group, is its experience at every level. KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson (along with Kyron and Demelo Jones, and Clemson transfer Khalil Barnes ) are about as experienced a platoon as any in America. That'a a pretty decent starting point.
Finally, looking even further to the future, Georgia fans have a lot to look forward to from 2027 five star running back commit Kemon Spell. Like for example, this:
We'll be back with more pregame hijinx and the always entertaining Open Game Thread in a bit. Until then…
Go 'Dawgs!!!
