I cant remember a bigger game that I think is so even matched to open a season, maybe ever, pretty exciting way to get the season started.

I will be in the Bahamas, at Atlantis, looking forward to placing some bets and watching them live in the Casino! 

I wish this game was being played on a campus and not a neutral site, the atmosphere would be even better.  These games are so tough as season openers because you don’t really know what you are going to get with all these young kids. 
 

Clemson has a bunch of questions going into this one, they need to replace the leadership from last season, mainly Trevor and Etienne.   They also need to show that they can run the ball.  They were terrible at rushing the ball last year, if that doesn’t improve it could be a long night for the Tigers.

Going to be an interesting game.  While clearly better then the other options, I think JT Daniels is insanely overrated and if your D can get some pressure, he can be rattled.  While Georgia is a factory, they're turning over their entire secondary, so not exactly the match up you want to face necessarily out the gates.

Honestly, I have no clue which way this one goes but I'm stoked the season is starting off with a bang!

Looking forward to this one with equal parts excitement, anticipation, fear and dread.  Kirby has to prove he can win one of these big games against an elite program.   As long as Daniels is better than Yukelele (don't ask me to spell the guy's nome correctly, you know who I mean) then we have a shot.  But something about Smart going against Swinney in a big game has me nervous -- at least as big a game as you could have week 1.  But in college football, they are all important.

Go Dawgs!!!

So today Ed Orgeron announced he will be leaving LSU after this season even though they beat Florida yesterday. He’s getting a very big severance package I think like 17 million plus so you know the school and current AD wanted to get rid of him bad. There were off field issues in addition to losing since their championship season in 2019. Not sure with his bad rep another team will hire him but I was thinking maybe USC where he was interim HC in 2013. They could have kept him back then but decided to pass on him.
