Another year in the books. Holy hell, where does the time go? So much for my prediction of an Alabama-Ohio State National Championship, but hey – the way this season panned out, I’ll take it. I came pretty close.
I’m ready to celebrate this game for a little bit, and get all of those bittersweet emotions out of the way – it’s the biggest game of the year, but it’s also the last. So, it’s always a little tough. We put a lot of work into this season, writing HUNDREDS of articles (hey it may not sound like a lot, but keep in mind, we all have full-time day jobs, too), so I’m ready for a chance to sit back, evaluate our work, and move into the offseason conditioning program. Quick shout out to Poppa Bear for producing a bulk of our college football content this year, too. Hopefully, it’ll pay off in the form of a trip to SEC Media Days this year.
As for the game, I’ve got a betting guide (coming soon), and I like Alabama at -4. Just don’t think Georgia will be able to run the ball like they did against Oklahoma, and I don’t know that Jake Fromm can win this game against that Tide defense on his own.
Now, for the fun part – the annual drinking game!
The 2018 SoBros Network National Championship Drinking Game
By now, you know how we do. Drinks and shots. We just throw some reasonable and ridiculous rules out there, you follow ’em, and hopefully, you don’t get alcohol poisoning. So, yeah – it’s worth mentioning and mentioning again. This is designed for the people who will be watching from their own living rooms. Otherwise, make sure you have a designated driver or you just don’t have to drive Monday night. Now, let’s have some fun.
Take a drink if…
*Anyone refers to Kirby Smart as a former “Saban disciple.”
*Someone mentions Nick Saban’s success against his former assistants. Double drink if there’s a nice graphic showing it. Also, pour one out for Mark Dantonio, thinking back to that Cotton Bowl a couple of years ago…
*They call that Georgia-Oklahoma Rose Bowl game one of “the greatest of all time.”
*Anyone refers to this as a “home game for Georgia.”
*Jalen Hurts is noted for being calm, cool, collected, or all three.
*Anyone actually says, “Jake Fromm (State Farm)”
*Calvin Ridley catches a touchdown.
*You roll your eyes at these tired, worn out Larry Culpepper commercials. Fuck that guy – Poppa Bear says he looks like he smells like a petting zoo and I find it hard to disagree. These commercials got old three years ago.
*They replay Jalen Hurts running over Nick Saban on the sideline during the Sugar Bowl. Chug if they report that that play resulted in the literal murder of someone.
*Take a drink every time the dude who follows around Nick Saban with a small paper cup of Gatorade pops onscreen. This rule alone could get you drunk, but man – what do I have to do to get that job??
*Every time they show Donald Trump.
*This game hits the over.
*When the comparison between Nick Saban and Bear Bryant is made.
*Someone addresses all of the talking heads’ assertion that the SEC was overrated this year.
*Jake Fromm throws multiple touchdown passes.
Take a shot if…
*Sony Michel and Nick Chubb -BOTH- tally over 100 rushing yards.
*Jalen Hurts has over 300 passing yards.
*Donald Trump is actually interviewed, another shot if somehow, “billions and billions,” is worked in.
*Danny Kanell eats a big bag of dicks.
*Da’Ron Payne scores another touchdown.
*Alabama wins the National Championship.
*Georgia wins the National Championship. That’s right – whoever wins, just take a shot. This is it, folks. This is our last college football game until next August/September. Appreciate it. Enjoy life. Wave at the haters. Have some fun. To borrow and tweak a phrase from Poppa Bear, “Big Natural loves ya.”
As always, drink responsibly. Play it safe.
