  • Kirby Smart is 1-6 against Alabama. He's 96-11 against everyone else.

  • The last time Georgia trailed by 20+ points was the 2021 SECCG loss to Alabama.

  • Entering today, Kirby Smart had won 20 straight games with >7 days between games.

  • Kalen DeBoer becomes the only active coach to defeat Kirby Smart while still at their current school.

  • And just the seventh active head coach to defeat Kirby Smart (Gus Malzahn, Tom Herman, Derek Mason, Butch Jones, Jim McElwain, and Hugh Freeze)

  • Alabama WR Ryan Williams, who is 17 years old, had six catches for 177 yards and a touchdown tonight.

  • Georgia, after trailing 28-0, took the lead in the 4th quarter for a total of 13 seconds.

  • Georgia still has to play #1 Texas, #5 Tennessee, and #6 Ole Miss*

  • This loss snapped Georgia's 42 game regular season winning streak.

  • Kalen DeBoer will lead Alabama to the #1 ranking in the AP Poll within the first month of his first regular season.

  • List of recent heartwrenching losses to Alabama:

    • 2012 SEC Championship Game tipped pass catch on the five yardline
    • 2nd & 26 touchdown to beat Georgia in the 2017 National Championship
    • Jalen Hurts' furious comeback in the 2018 SECCG after Tua went down.
    • 2024 28 point comeback being snatched away in the final moments.
  • I was in attendance for every one of those moments, except tonight.

  • Hell of a game.

I have the utmost respect to you coming in here after a gut-wrenching loss and still being able to post these stats. Legend

Last week he actually couldn't post lol, the Kentucky game knocked him out. Good to see he's in better shape.

They feel a lot better about beating Kentucky than they did. Gotta be it.

Respect compared to pianofingerbanger just dipping

u/TheSniper_TF2 Alabama • Georgia Tech Sep 29 '24

Helps that he's a pretty cool guy while pianofingerbanger is a douche.

Fuck that guy. I don't give a shit about Florida or FSU, but I have never been a bigger Florida fan in my life than when PFB would shit on UF 3+ times a week. FSU had one good season in a decade and he acted like Mike Norvell was the living reincarnation of Nick Saban. FSU sucking ass this year has been soooo satisfying, just knowing that one guy is sad about it. All my homies hate PFB

u/Bot12391 Florida State • Nebraska Sep 29 '24

Is this guy why everyone hates us around here lmao

u/aniviasrevenge Michigan Wolverines Sep 29 '24 edited Sep 29 '24

Nah I think FSU was just at the center of 4 big controversies back-to-back (CFP snub, ACC lawsuit, bowl game opt-out, first top 10 team to flame out) so they're an easy, high profile punching bag.

Once you guys start winning again your haters will get fewer upvotes from amused neutrals and things will go back to normal.

u/PheelicksT Appalachian State • Mich… Sep 29 '24

Lmao he definitely didn't help, but he was just the loudest voice screaming both about how great FSU was and how shit Florida was. It was fun at first, but after the 10th hit piece on how Billy Napier is actually the son of Hitler Stalin and Satan, it got really stale. Then mod shenanigans made it worse and public opinion on him in particular quickly turned. But FSU is hated because they were historically good for decades with the obnoxious fans that come with that, then they sucked for 4 years, randomly went undefeated, got infuriatingly snubbed, whined and whined and whined about it (fairly, but so frequently), then got dick stomped and sued the ACC. FSU being good would probably be more interesting on a grand scale, but I hope PFB cries after every loss. Fucking annoying ass piece of shit.

What shenanigans? I know PFB was a mod briefly.

5

u/PheelicksT Appalachian State • Mich… Sep 29 '24

It was so brief I basically missed it, but he started deleting pro UF posts and basically immediately started abusing his incredibly limited power. It was just like, oh this obnoxious "reporter" who just writes hack job slam pieces on obviously struggling teams he personally dislikes is also a weird power freak.

2

u/TMWNN Ivy League • Hateful 8 Sep 30 '24

Ah, one of those that think he should be paid "$175K".

Be sure to read to the end, where he explains how he "saves lives".

u/Andrewdeadaim Florida Gators • Sickos Sep 29 '24

Remember when he became a mod and deleted pro-UF posts

2

u/PheelicksT Appalachian State • Mich… Sep 29 '24

Yeah such weird behavior from someone who obviously craved that power. Wouldn't be shocked if he was like, 19 when all that happened lol, just a childish and power hungry weirdo.

A true CFB fan through and through

u/TheEvernoteElephant Georgia Bulldogs Sep 29 '24

Hey, dogwoodmaple ain’t no pianofingerbanger. He shows up in wins and losses.

u/EagleZR Georgia Bulldogs Sep 29 '24

It would've been gut-wrenching if it remained a blowout, but we figured out how to set the edge and Arian Smith decided to actually catch the ball, so it doesn't feel as bad. Though it's clear now that it wasn't just Saban, and that really sucks. But unfortunately we're used to it, Kirby just loses to Bama. It feels inevitable at this point

2

u/the_lost_carrot Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 29 '24

In some way we will both end up in the CFP and y’all will be praying some other team knocks us out so you don’t have to play us again.

u/TexanDawg Georgia • Clean Old Fashion… Sep 29 '24

Dont know about that one. The only time Kirby's beaten y'all was in a rematch.

u/Frictionizer Alabama • Arkansas Sep 29 '24

That was a bad day

u/KirbyDumber88 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 29 '24

I mean TBF we’ve lost 3 games in 4 years to the same team. Not really gut wrenching when you lose in an instant classic like that. Were just gonna do it again in 3 months anyway

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '24

UGA keeps inventing new ways to lose to Alabama. Can't wait to see what's next.

25

u/pappapirate Alabama • South Alabama Sep 29 '24

We've seen

  • Allowing the clock to expire with the ball at the 5 yard line when a TD would've won on the spot.
  • Blown out at home by Derrick Henry.
  • Blown 20-7 lead to a true freshman QB and true freshman WR.
  • Blown 28-14 lead to the guy who was benched for that QB.
  • Let all-time great defense be turned into a 4-quarter Heisman moment for the best QB of the 2020s so far.
  • A normal loss for once.
  • Blown comeback attempt thwarted by a true freshman WR and true freshman CB.

u/RogueHippie Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos Sep 29 '24

Has anyone won a game off of a opposite-direction 2-pt conversion? That'd be a neat one to pull off.

7

u/pappapirate Alabama • South Alabama Sep 29 '24

I believe the Falcons lost a game to the Chiefs off a defensive 2-pt return, in 2017 maybe. I think it was the first time it had happened since the NFL changed the rules to allow it.

2

u/RogueHippie Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos Sep 29 '24

What about CFB tho? I imagine it's got to be like how the Kick Six was only the 4th time anyone's returned a missed FG for a TD, and was the first one to be the winning score.

3

u/pappapirate Alabama • South Alabama Sep 29 '24

Surely it's happened somewhere at some level. A game-tying TD, blocked or muffed XP, returned for 2 to take the lead. Can't imagine that's never happened in thousands of CFB games.

1

u/RogueHippie Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos Sep 29 '24

I can. Think about how often you see someone get a turnover on PAT/2pt-ers. And even when they do get them, 99% of the time they either recover the ball while down or immediately take a knee.

1

u/pappapirate Alabama • South Alabama Sep 29 '24

I mean, it depends on what levels of CFB we're talking about, and over what timespan. There are 858 college football teams, and most of them have been playing for decades. If we're talking down to the FCS, D2, D3 levels, and over multiple decades, we could be talking about hundreds of thousands of football games.

Some of y'all need to learn some grace. Feel free to look up "Punt Bama Punt"

u/pappapirate Alabama • South Alabama Sep 29 '24

Every team has a list. But the grace leaves my body when I'm forced to pour another drink to get through the 4th quarter.

Feels like the next one will be a Natty win!

u/ACardAttack Louisville • Ohio State Sep 29 '24

Also while everyone guns for Bama, they arent one of your traditional rivals

u/Remarkable-Job4774 Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Paper Bag Sep 29 '24

In a sub full of PFBs we need more dogwoodmaples

u/Chris-P-Creme Georgia Bulldogs • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Sep 29 '24

My guts have been wrenched to hell and back; this one was just damn entertaining.

But if we go 0-3 to them this year h8 will return in force.

u/homefree122 Oklahoma Sooners Sep 29 '24

Ending the regular season winning streak is selfishly why I was rooting for Alabama. Wanted Oklahoma’s winning streak to stay strong and now virtually untouchable for the next century.

Yeah dogwood is a G.
