Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

    lagadawg DawgDaddy Greg Poole yeah I know some of the people personally in the record books. Guys that played against my highschool, which is not a talent rich area. It’s a serious joke of a game

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole The difference is it’s Chattanooga area against NW Ga. area. Not many powerhouse High Schools in NW Ga. It’s probably about 3 to 1 population advantage to Tn.

    Sorry, but count me not impressed. I have heard this BS before.

    DawgByte DawgDaddy Greg Poole UT is one of the schools that MUST get quality recruits from other states to compete, I think it is really that much better.  Guys that make it to the NFL from Georgia far outnumber those from Tennessee.

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole Is it really that much better or are there just more schools?!

    crazydawg87 CRAZY!!!  I just got in from playing golf out of town.  Good to see you bud.

    Bulldawg36 It was relaxing and entertaining at the same time. We stayed at the Wynn Encore for the first time and I have to say their service was impeccable across the board. When we checked in they asked where we had stayed in the past and offered us a Suite upgrade at minimal cost. We took them up on the offer. It was a beautiful room accessed by a special entrance and its own Concierge and other hotel staff. We also had access to a private pool and wait staff. The food was also quite good at the hotel, however all our dinners were at other hotels, including the Venetian, Bellagio, Caesars and Aria.

    Greg Poole I see Tennessee has a huge winning record in these games, are we even sending our best kids to these things or are they Tennessee’s best against just some kids from Georgia?  There is really no comparison between the talent in Georgia high schools and those in Tennessee.

    Tyler Simmons maybe our fastest WR in 2016! Thank the heavens that he flipped from Alabama! Way to go Kirby!!!

    ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia men’s basketball coach Mark Fox announced Monday that Juwan Parker has been awarded a medical redshirt for the 2015-16 season and Osahen Iduwe has been granted a release to transfer from the University of Georgia.

    Parker, a 6-4, 205-pound guard from Tulsa, Oklahoma, will be a redshirt junior with two seasons of eligibility remaining. He played in Georgia’s lone exhibition game against Armstrong State, posting two points, six rebounds, two assists and a block in 19 minutes of action, but did not play in the regular season.

    “We are pleased that Juwan has officially been awarded a redshirt,” Fox said. “We are eager and excited to see him back on the court.”

    Parker originally suffered the injury midway through the 2014-15 campaign. He started the first 14 games that season and averaged 4.9 points and 3.7 rebounds, including season highs of 11 points and seven rebounds in the SEC opener against No. 23 Arkansas. Parker sustained the injury in the Bulldogs’ next outing at LSU. He played limited minutes in four games thereafter, including the regular-season finale at Auburn and in the SEC Tournament semifinals versus Arkansas.

    Iduwe, a 6-10, 245-pound forward, played in 29 games over the past two seasons. During the 2015-16 campaign, he played in 18 contests and averaged 0.5 points, 0.4 rebounds and 2.7 minutes per game. 

    “Osahen and I talked late last week, and he has decided to transfer,” Fox said. “We want Osahen to find the greatest fit for him both academically and as a player. I understand and support his decision and wish him nothing but the best. He has been a terrific teammate and will be missed.”

    Bulldawg36 I’ll ‘byte’… yes, I’m more than ready to win a SEC title. However, I’m also realistic about the short term prospects. As I’ve stated many times, Richt did a good job of bringing in serious talent at the skill positions, but didn’t build a lot of depth. I think it’s going to take a couple of classes to get the type of players to bring us on par with Bama and LSU. 

    Over the weekend I read an interesting article about Florida’s offense. The stats were not kind and the prospects for improvement this year seem limited at best. A real test of Kirby’s coaching capabilities will be to remove the mental block and beat a very beatable Gator’s team.

    How’s everyone doing?! I’m back after my trip to Viva Las Vegas… and no I did not win any money, but ate like a KING!

  13. Reddawg13

    Bulldawg36 Well it bothers me too. But I think that changes now. Richt took us up a notch pretty quick and then the last 5 years faltered some. I believe Kirby learned from the best and wants badly to be the best. Yeah we had a good record as long as we were not playing the top 25, but we know one must beat them to win a championship.

  14. Bulldawg36

    Good post MMCS! I’m not sure tho it bothers everybody. Some are just fine with 9-3 as along as we win the right way which is understandable. But I think UGA can do more and I sure hope they will in the near future! Go dawgs!!! Oh yeah I will probably have a melt down in August because the baby will almost here!!!!!!!!

  15. Bulldawg36

    Ahhh nothing against whiskey drinkers but I just can’t handle it…don’t think I’ve even ever tried before

    DawgLink The one on the right is a very low level swing. Easily exploited by good pitching. The guy on the left is Ted Williams. One of the most dominant modern day fast pitch hitters ever…Kaitie Cochran…tailored her swing after Ted. She obviously doesn’t swing as well as Ted did, but the light weight bats in fastpitch are way more forgiving and easier to swing than wood bats.

    ZippyMorocco Bulldawg36 And Me…  Bulldawg36  will have his hands full with a little 36!  let’s see how his nerves are this time a year from now!  lol.   

    It’s been way to damn long since UGA has won the SEC and/or a NC.  It frustrates every one of us to a certain extent!  I believe we may have gotten the right man at the right time and I expect we should rectify that pretty soon!

    BahitsAgain Bulldawg36 Beacuse…Chubb is the thunder…and Sony is the lightning…and they are both warriors:)
