The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry: Auburn Tigers vs Georgia Bulldogs Rivalry | CFB Social

Everyone ttalking about Bill Connelly's SP+ projections like they tell the whole story needs to remember fall camp is about. I still remember setting up the tailgate in the North Campus lot back in 2021 before we made that run and the energy was electric. Same feeling right now seeing this roster take shape. Connelly can put Texas ahead of us all he wants but watch what happens when our depth starts showing out these next few weeks.

You see ESPN ranking Kirby Smart number one and all I can think about is how different building a roster was back in the 2002 season when you actually developed kids instead of shopping the portal every winter. We landed a five-star tight end the old fahioned way this year bu...

Everybody talking about the "best stadium atmospheres" in the SEC and they always leave out Thursday night at Jordan-Hare. Baylor is about to walk into that noise and have no idea what hit them.

You walk into Sanford Stadium on a Thursday night for fall camp opener and the energy hits different. That first crack of pads echoing off the hedges with the lights on tells you everything you need to know. We don't do the whole "wait and see" thing around here. We reload, we refill, and we remind everybody why this place is the standard. Tennessee State is about to get a rude introduction to what real SEC football looks like under those Thursday night lights. htts://www.on3.com/teams/georgia-bulldogs/

I love about fall camp starting up? Watching our coaching staff actually develop talent instead of just recruiting over everybody every year. Bill Connelly and ESPN can run their SP+ projections all they want but they don't see what we see in practice. Our staff has been grinding since January putting these guys through position drills that actually translate to Saturdays. I was watching some of the early camp footage and the technique work our DL is getting is night and. The portal era has everybody chasing quick fixes but our coaches are building something sustainable. You watch these other programs bring in 40 transfers every winter and try to glue it together in spring ball. That's NOT coaching, that's roster management. Real coaching is taking the guys who have been in the system, teaching them how to read offenses pre-snap. We've got a staff that understands Jordan-Hare. They understaand what it means to play Thursday night in front of 87,000 people who have been tailgating since sunrise. Give me a coach who develops three-star kids into all-conference players over a recruiter who just stacks five-stars and hopes they figure it out. That's what we have. This fall I'm watching the product on the field and I already know the growth is going to show. War Eagle.

You see Bill Connelly's previews and ESPN's coach rankings and all I can think about is how NIL has turned this sport into free agency. Back in the 1980 season we built teams through four years of development, not a checkbook. Now these kids enter the portal faster than you can say "SEC Championship" and we are left wondering who is even on the roster come August. The loyalty is gone and I do not see it coming back.

Our WR room is going to be the most underrated group in the SEC this fall and I will stand. People keep looking at what we lost and NOT what we have brewing in that building right now. The new arrivals through the portal have broght a different kind of juice to spring practice and the competition is making everybody better. I have been watching the clips coming out of fall camp and the connection between our QB and these receivers. The timing on routes is sharper. The separation is there. This is not the same offense people watched in 2025. The coaching staff understood exactly what we needed and went out and got it. The national media can keep sleeping on our skill positions while they fawn over Texas and Georgia. They will learn when this group starts stacking explosive plays at Jordan-Hare. We have a legitimate deep threat again. We have guys who can win contested catches. We have speed that defenses will have to respect. This is the most complete WR room we have fielded in years. Mark it down now. Our passing game takes a massive step forward in 2026 and people will act surprised when they should have seen it coming.

ESPN can rank their coaches all they want but Kirby Smart is the best coach in this program's history and it is not even close. I will die on this hill. I watched Vince Dooley win a national title in 1980 with Herschel and that was special but the game was completely different. Dooley coached against option offenses and wishbone teams where you could line up and run it down their throats. Kirby has had to adapt to spread offenses, tmpo, the transfer portal, NIL nonsense that destroyed roster loyalty, and still won two national titles in a four year stretch. You want to talk about building a program? Dooley had the same 22 kids for four years and could develop them slow. Kirby has to replace half his roster every offseason because these kids chase a bag or transfer for more playing time. He won a national title in 2022 with a defense that had five guys drafted in the first round and then turned around and won another one in 2024 with a completely different group of players. That is coaching. That is program building. Mark Richt won 10 games every year and we loved him for it but he never got over the hump. Kirby has taken us to three national title games in six years. The man has built a machine that reloads instead of rebuilds. I do not care what ESPN's list says or who they put at number one. Kirby Smart is the best coach in the country and he is the best coach Georgia has ever had. Period. End of story.

ESPN's coach ranking list is out and I already know where this is going but let me tell you what. This is not the Mark Richt era where we won 10 games every year but could never get over the hump in big moments. This is not the Jim Donnan era where we had talent but not the depth to survive an SEC grind. This is not even the early Kirby years where we were building the foundation but still had those moments where you could see the cracks. We are in a completely different stratosphere now and the numbers prove it. Calling it now: by the time this decade is over. We are talking about back-to-back national titles. We are talking about a recruiting pipeline that has not dipped below top three in six years. We are talking about NFL Draft classes that are setting records for defensive players taken in the first round. And the best part is that people still want to act like we are just some flash in the pan. I remember sitting in Sanford Stadium during the 2019 season watching us lose to South Carolina at home and thinking we might never get there. That was the game where everything changed honestly because you could see the frustration in the program and you could. From that moment forward, we have lost what five rgeular season games total? Six maybe? The consistency we have built is something that programs like Alabama had for 15 years under Saban and we are. The difference between us and every other program in the country is simple. When we lose players to the NFL, we do not rebuild. We reload. Look at what we have done in the portal this offseason. Look at the 2026 recruiting class we are putting together with Kaiden Prothro and the rest of the haul. Look at how the staff develops three-star guys into first-round picks like it is a science. This is not luck. This is a machine that Kirby built...

Just saw Bill Connelly's preview and I guarantee he's got Texas ahead of us again. You know what I remember? The 2005 Georgia-Tennessee game where we beat them 27-14 in Knoxville and they had no answer for our defense. These projection guys don't understand what it means to ha...

Just saw Connelly's SEC preview and I already know he's got us behind Texas again in the SP+ projections. Whatever man, let them sleep on this defense for one more offseason. I've been watching fall camp clips and the front seven looks absolutely terrifying. We lost some guys to the draft but that's what happens when you've been putting D-linemen in the league every single year. The pipeline doesn't stop, it just reloads. What nobody wants to talk about is how this defensive staff has been developing second and third-year guys in the. We've got guys who have been in the system for two years now, learning the scheme, adding weight. The interior push is going to be nasty. Teams think they can just run right at us because we lost some names? Good luck with that. And the secondary is deeper than people realize too. We've got ballhawks back there who have been waiting for their moment. Oregon fans want to talk about their five-star class and Colorado thinks 43 transfers is the answer. Fine. We'll keep doing what we've done since Kirby got here - develop monsters, win the line of scrimmage, and let the results speak. Fall camp energy is different when you know what you've got brewing up front.

ESPN just dropped their top coaches ranking for 2026 and I already know our guy got snubbed again because the. You watch them put Kirby Smart at the top and Sarkisian in the top five and Lane Kiffin getting all. Three years ago this program was a mess. Nobody wanted to come here. The roster had holes evverywhere and the culture was broken. Now we're stacking talent in the trenches, we're developing players who actually get drafted, and we've got this place buzzing again. But that doesn't fit the narrative so they keep us in the second tier while programs like Texas A&M who. Bill Connelly has us behind Texas and Georgia in the SEC preview again. Same script EVERY July. They look at last year's record and the recruiting rankings and they don't factor in what happens when you walk. They don't factor in that our offensive line is finally getting the portal reinforcements we needed and our defensive front has been quietly stacking bodies. The disrespect is honestly fuel for fall camp. Every single guy in that locker room knows what the national media thinks of us. And they know we open with Baylor at home on a Thursday afternoon when that stadium is going to be absolutely unhinged. Let them sleep. We've been counted out before and we keep finding a way to make noise.

Three years watching Bill Connelly's SEC projections and he still doesn't understand what happens when you walk into Jordan-Hare on a Thursday afternoon in September. Baylor coming to town and I keep seeing people act like this is some kind of trap game. Trap game? We haven't lost a non-conference home game in September since 2017 and that was against Clemson when they were national title contenders. The disrespect to our home field advantage is actually hilarious. Baylor is breaking in a new quarterback while we have a defense that finished top 25 in sacks last season. Their offensive line gave up 34 sacks in 2025. We are going to eat them alive in the fourth quarter when they can't hear a single snap count. This staff has been building something real in fall camp. The physicality is different this year. You can see it in the one-on-one drills. Baylor thinks they can come into the SEC and win a trench war? They haven't played in an environmen...

Fall camp is finally here and I already know exctly how this season is going to go. We are going to get flagged for every ticky-tack hold while the opposing offensive line gets away with murder every single down. The SEC officiating crew that loves to "let them play" until we have a key third down stop and then. It has been three years of watching our edge rushers get blatantly held with zero calls while our tackles get. I need the league office to actually do something about the consistency because it is getting ridiculous watching games get.

How is nobody talking about the fact that we landed 5-star TE Kaiden Prothro in the 2026 class and ESPN. I saw the breakdown of how every five-star "fits" their system and I just had to laugh because our staff. We do not need a fit. We recruit the best players in the country and we devlop them into first round picks. Period. That 2027 class with 23 five-stars is getting all the hype but people forget we literally had the number one. Oregon got five five-stars in their 2026 haul and good for them. I will take our development track record over their hype train any day of the week. We have been the standard for a reason. Fall camp is fixin' to open and all I keep hearing is about how Texas is loaded and Oregon is the next big thing. Meanwhile we are sitting here with a 5-star TE who is gonna bully linebackers and safeties for the next three years. The disrespect to what we have built in Athens is unreal. We are not going anywhere.

Bill Connelly has us behind Texas and Georgia again in his SEC preview and I'm supposed to just accept that. The same formula every year where he weights past seasons heavier than roster construction and spring momentum. Meanwhile we're sitting here in fall camp with a veteran offensive line that actually has starting experience together for the first time in three years. The transfers we brought in at receiver are going to shock people who only look at recruitign star ratings from high school. Texas has a new QB learning a system and Georgia is replacing half their defense with freshmen. But sure pencil us in fourth again like we haven't been stacking portal wins and developing the depth that Bill's computer models never see coming. Jordan-Hare in week one against Baylor is going to announce exactly what this team is.

You see Bill Connelly put out his conference previews and I just have to laugh at how this sport has changed. Back in the 2002 season when we won the SEC with that defense that held Tennessee to 13 points in the SEC Championship, you knew exactly what you were getting from every team in the league. Now we have Texas and Oklahoma in our conference, the Big Ten is a coast to coast mess, and nobody can keep a rooster together for more than one season. I miss the days when you could name the starting lineup in April and they would still be there in November. Three portal losses in one week and our depth chart looks different than it did at the end of spring practice. That never happened when Coach Dooley was running things. You had walk ons who would bleed red and black for four years just to get a chance to play on special teams. Now these kids see a bigger NIL bag somewhere else and they are gone before the leaves change color. The 1980 team that won it all with Herschel had the same 22 starters every single week. You cannot build a program when your roster turns over 30 percent every winter. I watched our spring game and I saw some good things from the new guys we brought in through the portal. But I also saw a lot of confusion on the offensive line and that worries me. We lost some real dogs up front to the NFL draft and I am not convinced the replacements are ready for SEC football in September. The 2005 team had that offensive line that opened holes for Thomas Brown and Danny Ware and those boys played together for three years. Chemistry matters. You cannot buy that with NIL money. The recruiting rankings have us sitting at No. 11 in the 2027 class with zero five stars and people are panicking. I remember the 2002 team that had five guys drafted and only one of them was a five star recruit. That team had Max Jean Gilles and David Pollack and Boss Bailey and none of them were handed anything. They earned it in the weight room and on the practice field. These recruiting services are a joke anyway. They had us ranked 15th in 2017 and that class won a natty. I will say this about the new staff. They are working hard in fall camp and I like the way they are rotating guys through the two deep. We have a Wednesday night game against Tennessee State to open the season and I remember when we used to open against Georgia Southern or Arkansas State and you could empty the bench by the third quarter. Now every game is a dogfight because of the portal and NIL and everybody has talent. But I still believe we have the best program in the country when it comes to developing players the right way. We just need to keep our guys home and build through the high school ranks like we always did.

Bill Connelly dropped his conference previews and I just want to know how many times he mentioned Sanford Stadium being. Because that atmosphere is why we keep reloading instead of rebuilding. Other programs have to beg recruits to come watch them play. We just turn on the lights and let the crowd do the talking. You cannot replicate that energy anywhere else in college football.

Why is nobody talking about the best tailgate tradition in America getting even better this fall? I was standing in the grass lot across from the stadium during spring A-Day just watching the setup crews already marking spots. You can feel it building. The smell of that first batch of smoked wings off the pit. The sound of the band warming up from the amphitheater. Nobody does a Wednesday night opener like we do. Baylor coming to the Plains for a weekday game is gonna be absolute chaos in the best way. The national media loves to hype up the Grove or whatever they do at Tennessee but they don't understand what. That is real. That is Auburn.

You see ESPN running that piece on the 23 five-stars in the 2027 class and I just have to shake my head. Back in the 1992 season when we joined the SEC East, we didn't have 23 five-star players in the entire country, let alone one class. Coach Goff had to go find kids from the Georgia high school ranks who wanted to play for the G on their helmet, not for the highest bidder. We built the 2002 SEC Championship team with three-star kids from Valdosta and Lowndes County who stayed four years and developed into men. Now these 23 prospects are being scouted like they are NFL veterans before they have even played a down of college football. The pressure on these kids must be enormous. I remember when a five-star rating meant you were Herschel Walker or Champ Bailey, a once in a generation talent. Now they hand those stars out like candy at a parade. NIL has turned these 23 prospects into free agents before they even sign a letter of intent. The new revenue sharing cap at 20.5 million is just going to make the bidding war more organized but no less disgusting. We used to win recruiting battles because a kid wanted to run through that hedges and hear the Chapel Bell ring after a win. Now it is about who can put together the best package of cash and promises. Kirby has done a good job navigating this mess but I miss the days when you earned your stars by what you did on Friday nights, not by how many Instagram followers you had. The 2027 class will be decided by which program has the best NIL collective, not which program develops the best men. That is just the reality of where we are now.

People keep questioning whether we can reload after losing so many guys to the NFL draft. Kirby and the coordinators have this program running like a machine where you don't rebuild, you just reload. While other teams panic and grab 43 transfers from the portal, we trust our development and our scheme. Mark my words: by week four of the 2026 season, people will be saying our new offensive line coach deserves a raise ...

People love to talk about SEC gameday atmospheres but they don't get it until they walk into Jordan-Hare on a fall evening. I was thinking about this today while messing around with some old highlight tapes. There is no feeling like hearing the band strike up War Eagle and feeling the whole stadium shake underneath you. Other programs have their traditions and I respect that but nothing compares to the roar when we come running through those tiger paws lmao. The fact that we keep stacking talent i...

Four Bulldogs on the SEC All-Decade team and I just think about the 1980 defense that held three teams to single digits. Those boys played through broken bones and never complained. These modern kids wouldn't last a quarter in that era. Toughness is earned in August heat, not ...

Four Bulldogs on the SEC All-Decade team and people still act like we haven't been running this conference. That's just the tip of the iceberg too. Our pipeline keeps producing and this fall camp is loaded with guys ready to step up and prove the next decade belongs to us too....

You watch these spread offenses now and nobdy runs a true option anymore. I miss the 1980 Georgia teams with Herschel and the Wishbone, where you had to read the end and make a split-second decision. That was real football, not this RPO handoff nonsense where the QB just look...

You want to talk all-time greats by jersey number and I notice a lot of names from other programs getting thrown around. Nobody wants to acknowleddge that when you talk about the best to ever wear certain numbers. I am not saying we dominate every slot but the disrespect is real when you look at what we have. This program has produced Heisman winners, national champions, and first round picks who defined their positions. The national media loves to pretend our history starts and ends with a couple of names but they are wrong. We have a tradition that stacks up against anybody and the numbers back it up.

You watch fall camp open and see these kids showing up with their NIL deals already signed and I just think back to the 1982 walk ons who had to prove it every single day in the Georgia heat just to earn a practice jersey. Coach Dooley would have laughed in your face if you as...

Can someone explain to me why the national media keeps acting like our defense is going to be some kind of question mark this season? I keep seeing these previews from people like Bill Connelly and they always have us projected in the middle of the pack defensively. It drives me insane because they clearly are not paying attention to what is happening in our own building during fall camp right now. We have been quietly stacking talent on that side of the ball for two years now. The depth we are building in the front seven is legitimately the best we have had since the 2019 season. People forget that we held multiple SEC opponents under 20 points last year and we had key guys banged up for half the season. Now with a full offseason of development under this staff and some of the young guys getting real reps in. The secondary is the part that gets me the most fired up. everybody wants to talk about how we lost some experience but they ignore the fact that we brought in help. Jordan-Hare at night with a defense that can actually get pressure with four down linemen is a nightmare for any offense. Baylor coming in to open the season is going to find out real quick that this is not the same group people think we are. We are sitting right there in the recruiting rankings too. The foundation is set. This defense is going to surprise a lot of people and I am tired of pretending otherwise.

You walk into Sanford Stadium on a late summer afternoon and the heat hits you like a freight train. I remember the 1985 season when we had the same offensive line for four straight years and you could feel the grass and the humidity and the noise all at once. These kids today with their air-conditioned locker rooms and synthetic turf don't know what real football felt like.

Bill Connelly drops his SEC preview every year and every year I have to sit here and watch him pencil. The disrespect is honestly impressive at this point. We have been stacking talent in the trenches for two years now and the national guys still treat us like we are rebuilding from scratch. But you know what really gets under my skin? It is the way the officiating narrative always convenienty lines up to protect the status quo in this conference. I have watched this team lose games we had no business losing because of calls that would make a high school crew blush. You can pull up the tape from any of our close losses the last two seasons and find at least. And the national media acts like it is just bad luck. It is not bad luck when it happens every single time we play a team with a blue blood pedigree. The SEC office has a pecking order and we are not at the top of it. That is just the reality of the sport no matter how many analysts want to pretend the games are called evenly. This fall camp year feels different though. We have the depth now to absorb a bad call or two and still walk out with a win. The roster is built differently than it was two years ago. We have real competition at almost every position group and the coaching staff has had enough time to install everything they want to run. If we catch a few questionable flags against Baylor or any of our SEC opponents this year. The bias is real. The SEC has its favorites and we are not one of them. But this is the year we take the narrative and shove it down their throats anyway.
