Week 11 finally delivered something Georgia fans hadn’t felt much this season — a relaxed second half. The Dawgs cruised past Mississippi State behind a dominant middle-eight stretch, a breakout game from Nate Frazier, and the defense’s best performance of the year. With the win in hand, the crew quickly turned their attention to the big one: Texas coming to Athens under the lights for the third matchup in the past calendar year.

This week’s special guest is Peter Taaffe, Texas super-fan and father of Longhorn safety Michael Taaffe. Peter breaks down Texas’ season roller coaster, Arch Manning’s development, the Longhorn run game issues, and how Texas matches up with Georgia schematically. The guys compare Arch vs. Gunner, debate whether Texas is peaking at the wrong time for Georgia, and dive into positional matchups that will likely decide Saturday night’s showdown.

They also preview the insane travel and tailgating scene for this weekend, share insider Athens tips, talk stadium environments across the SEC, and hit league-wide storylines including SEC title scenarios, the ACC chaos, Big Ten survival, and the playoff math for both schools.

Finally, the crew gives their game predictions, Laurence delivers another winning Sucker Bet, and Ganz hands out maybe his favorite Jimbo of the Week yet — the LSU/State of Louisiana circus around Brian Kelly’s contract.
