I don’t think so this time. I’m pretty optimistic about this match up for a change. I don’t think we run the table or anything, but I don’t think the Dawgs are as tough this season as they have been in the past. I could be wrong, wouldn’t be the first time, but I like our chances with them this year.

Optimism leads to heartbreak. Pessimism can lead to great joy.

I’m past the age of heartbreak due to College athletics these days. Yeah, I still get bummed after a bad loss, but i don’t allow it to get to me like I used too. Combination of maturity and Battered Vols Syndrome I guess.

This game being at home makes me hopeful, but it’s not a Georgia game if Georgia isn’t looking pedestrian the week prior and then procedes to be firing on all cylinders during our match. I’m hoping we can get some success from the air. Kirby trusts his defense to play our receivers man to man. Until we get the athletes to compete against their talent I have a hard time imagining anything changing. I also am concerned with the interior of our defensive line. I don’t think that UGA’s QB is all that great, but he doesn’t have to be. If they are able to run the ball, he just has to be average at best to win. We have to stop their run game. Something that isn’t talked about enough. Sell out on the run. Force their QB to go vertical. I’d rather take a 30+ pass play here or there than allow them to maintain possession and run the ball at will.

That should be the plan tomorrow. Make UGA beat us with an inexperienced QB passing the ball...stop the run AND QB scrambles first. Need Nathan Robinson to have a big game at Dtackle. He looked good in the 1st couple games but hasnt been able to stay healthy for his entire career. He is 6ft6 and 300lbs though and we need him badly without Moe and Hobbs.

On offense we need to run the damn ball too...the last couple years UGA has been able to contain our RBs even when they only have 7 men in the box. They are the only team besides the Suckeyes that has done so. We will run on light boxes...7men is light...but we have to do so effectively to make them commit more guys. This may be the best Oline so far under CJH, hopefully we can line up and run the ball at will. Hopefully Banks can scheme up something to keep them from torching Telander over the middle and in the flats like they did last year.

Got a construction question for you guys. In my pole barn I'm building, I'm framing up a room that will be 50'L x 20'W with a 10' ceiling, one side will be an exterior wall of the barn. I plan on using the ceiling (loft) of the room for storage, nothing extremely heavy but I'm sure the wife will load it up. Could I get away with either 2x10s or 2x12s on 18" centers as joists for that span or should I plan on using I-joists? Walls will be 2x6 framed for plumbing and electrical.

I did not know much about him. As much as he advocated for something I abhor, getting rid of separation of church and state, this kind of violence cannot be the answer.

depending on the spans for those 2x's either should work fine for general storage. I would just make sure the "flooring" is pretty good. 1/2" or deeper osb/plywood will go a long way to holding up.

the admittedly overly conservative architects answer with wood is you can generally trust a 2x to span a length in feet that equals its depth in inches plus 2. so a 2x10 is going to be trustworthy for 10'+2' =12'.

it will span longer, but just quick/dumb rule of thumb without doing any math. adding some mid span blocking helps too without adding a lot to the system.

* assuming 16" centers for the 2x's.
