These two small towns have produced many successful football players for UGA, most notably Hershel Walker. In 2000 the season opened with Quincy Carter as our starting QB. For those that remember, Quincy soon became a train wreck. After the World’s Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville, we decided to voice our opinion of our QB status. While discussing how we would materialize our thoughts, a close relative joked that we should paint the side of the old ‘Jot Em Down Store’ which had been in his family since the late 1930's. (Side Note: There are a few stores with this name, but this one is local to the area and probably not as known as other landmarks with the same name.) We quickly accepted his offer and aimed to paint the south side of the store’s exterior in order for all the traffic to view as they headed back to the northern part of the state on Sunday following the game. The night after the game, we painted the old store. That year was an election year and the basis of our message. Cory soon became our starting QB. Cory’s most recognized game was against our arch rival Georgia Tech. Cory completed 36 of 62 passes for 413 yds. These stats are currently ranked: 1st (tie with Eric Zier) for most completions in a UGA game; 2nd for most attempts in a UGA game; 8th for most passing yds in a UGA game. The old store soon came to be locally known as the “UGA Barn Sign”. The first message was such a success that we continued to use the old store to voice our opinions. We always aim to stay positive, though a few messages have voiced frustration. The only ‘non-UGA’ related message was after 9/11. It’s hard to believe how quickly the many messages have come to pass. We plan to continue painting the Barn Sign for years to come. Over the years we’ve seen people taking pictures of the messages or having their picture taken in front of it, especially during the week of the Florida game. We’ve seen paintings and heard of others. There are supposedly even restaurants around the state with pictures of the Barn Sign hanging on their walls and people who have it hanging on their living room walls. We would love to see pictures of these items old and new! Please post pictures you’ve taken, drawings, paintings, or any other media that everyone may enjoy viewing! We know the Barn Sign is very popular and would like to see ‘all things related’ to the Barn Sign pinned to this page! GO DAWGS!

New playoff rankings from tonight:

11/10/2026

The Rebs got fined $250,000 today for throwing trash on the field and causing a delay in the game.

Got smoked AND had to pay a quarter million dollar fine. Brutal but deserving.

The University of Mississippi will be assessed a financial penalty of $250,000 set forth by the Commissioner following interruption of its November 7 football game with the University of Georgia due to fans throwing debris onto the field, the Southeastern Conference announced Monday.

I figured this was coming with the expanded playoff system. UGA has played in the last 5, winning 3, so this year will be 6 and can say we played in the last one ever.

Here are my worthless thoughts:

This 24 team playoff is all a way to make more money. Does any reasonable football fan think a team outside the top 10 is going to grind their way through a playoff tournament? This isn’t basketball. I just don’t see a “Cinderella” type team from outside the top 10 having what it takes to win every round and the natty.

The bowl games that will now have to be converted to playoff games can be advertised as playoff games and fill the stadiums instead of being just partially full, as in most cases. People like don’t care much about the Welch’s Grape Jam Bowl….. but if it’s the First Round Playoff Welch’s Grape Jam Bowl…. well now folks will spend the money to go, even when their team has no chance to win it all. So the industry increases revenue through selling more tickets at a higher price point, television commercials seen by more people so higher price point for advertising, all the pregame and postgame festivities, etc etc to make way more money with these +/-10 playoff games.

I’m ok with the conference championships being eliminated. I’ve historically enjoyed them, but in recent years they can hurt badly if lost for playoff position or even elimination. The first round bye as a conference champion hurt every team last year. All 4 conference champs lost out in the first round last year because of too much time off.

I’m not a fan of having 24 playoff teams but it’ll be good for the SEC. Currently 10 of 16 SEC teams are in the top 24, 40%+ of the playoff field.

Look now folks, ya can’t want to win all the games but not be #1 bc of some potential bad luck as the top Dawg…. know that it’s going to happen, it’s inevitable, own it, defend it!

Pressure is a Privilege!

Gunner with the Stet vibes extending a play for 6!

We are owning the stat sheet, but these are the key stats in my opinion.

Dawgs came ready to play. I’m pleasantly surprised. The last two games had me worried. This is the team I want to see all through the playoffs.

Bobo has called a good game. Kirby has, I mean Schumann has called a good game, too.
