ATHENS, GEORGIA -- Forget all that cupcake talk or thinking Saturdays game was merely a tune-up for next weeks showdown with No. 6 LSU.

Georgia's season at one time looked dangerously close to being on the brink early in the third quarter against North Texas.

Yes, North Texas.

The Mean Green tied the No. 9 Bulldogs by recovering a blocked punt in the end zone for a touchdown 43 seconds into the third quarter, Georgias second major special teams disaster of the day. Georgia already had surrendered a 99-yard kickoff return for touchdown in the second quarter.

The Bulldogs (2-1) survived all that on a rain-drenched day in Sanford Stadium when it had to work harder than expected to walk away with a 45-21 win.

"We got ourselves into a fight", Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "It could have got really ugly, but it didn't. We continued to settle the game down by playing great defense and continuing to move the ball and get some points, and we were able to finish the game without some drama."

North Texas (2-2) showed it wasnt content just to cash a $975,000 paycheck for the game.

LSU should beat the snot out of these overrated Puppy Dawgs! But, it is the SEC, so you never know who is going to show up and who isn't.

I think I would rather see the Dawgs kick the hell out of LSU, in my opinion it is a much better reflection on us

Only saying that because a and m whooped up on SMU and we gave Georgia a fight. Not trying to belittle our effort, proud if the guys, just speaking from the past perception of our team and the current rankings. SMU is currently ranked huger than us.

I am not sure Swho matters, they have had their butts kicked by both FBS teams they have played this year, and only win was to Montana State a FCS team and Tech beat SMU at Ford stadium 41-23. I don't see how that is going to help A&M any.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      Even the "Brand" programs are losing players to the portal. Maybe Ross can sign this guy for us? I heard he likes to play slow offense and lots of defense. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40025291/seton-hall-star-kadary-richmond-enters-transfer-portal "Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond entered the transfer portal Thursday afternoon, potentially becoming the best player available in the portal. Richmond had long been rumored to be considering a transfer, with Big East and area rival St. John's a potential landing spot for the Brooklyn native."

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      You guys are all delusional. I have a hard time believing that the cut-off will be 30ish teams. Its obvious that's where it is in reality, and dollars (revenue, budgets, etc). But too many of these schools have enough delusional donors who are willing to keep throwing money at it. Why does NIL make that change? I think most of you don't actually talk to any of these big money guys. They aren't jumping out....they are jumping in. And always have. Now it's legal to pay players to win...so anyone with a conscious before when it was illegal doesn't have that hanging over them now. See SMU, Baylor, etc. We're all a bunch of poor schmo's here. Look at the scroll that runs across this very site. That ain't big money scrolling through here. True some of the big donors post on here, but not the Ryans or the 4 billionaire types that fund dirty schmoo.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      Its in Queens, not Manhattan! I briefly looked at SJU when looking for grad schools, its a very unique university, its not for every student and that includes athletes. I dont know if they have the easiest time recruiting, sure its NYC, but there are plenty of quality programs near NYC. They do have Pitino, but how long is he sticking around?
