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.

    What are the rules on posting quotes from a 247sports article if the quotes have been posted for all to see on another discussion board? I am NOT a 247sports subscriber. I believe the article is a VIP article.

    Let’s all carpool and show him around the classic city! Cali n Titos on me!!

    Lucas Rogers you ARE the recruiting insider…wish i was doing cool stuff like that when i was your age!!

  4. Lucas Rogers

    So just talked to Jacoby. He said he still plans to announce before season starts so somewhere in July or August, but does not have a specific date

    Me too, Not an FSU fan, but I absolutely hate Auburn!

  6. BahitsDawg

    MMCSDAWG 1mandawgpack Greg Poole Many times a season, I am thankful that FSU beat the Barn in the championship.

    We wouldn’t be hearing the end of the miracle plays over and over – including the one against us.  It is bad enough as is, but had they won it all, think “Buck Belue to Lindsey Scott!” on steroids. 

    I am happy that Gus lost his stinky rabbit’s foot.

  7. 1mandawgpack

    MMCSDAWG 1mandawgpack Greg Poole  I bet you’re right.  Like I said, there will be very few scenarios for which CKS has not prepared, and that won’t be one of them.

  8. 1mandawgpack

    Dawgnation89  Cam is a physical specimen and a grown man at age 17 or 18, which is just one of the many reasons why he’s so appealing as a prospect.  However, I’ve watched Carter’s highlights and he is also very, very talented.  I’ve very rarely seen a star RB play on kickoff coverage, and the young man is special on special teams alone, not to mention his prowess as a RB.  I’m very excited about him as he plays big boy football in a legit HS football state, so would be very happy with his commitment.  The pay sites seem to like Swift even better (#1 ranked APB in the US), so getting commitments from 2 of those 3 would be truly phenomenal.

  9. MMCSDAWG

    1mandawgpack Greg Poole MMCSDAWG I’ll bet he doesn’t attempt a 55 yd field goal with less than 25 seconds left in a tie game without ensuring he has a set of gunners on the field that can RUN!

  10. dsw61

    I believe the Steve Wiltfong tweet about Akers is suppose to read that the Georgia commits at “The Opening” are going to be on Akers to commit to Georgia.

  11. 1mandawgpack

    Greg Poole MMCSDAWG  Rumor has it that Saban used to have his coaches practice the cadence at which different coaches spoke into their headsets.  While there is a 20 hour limit that coaches can spend with players, there are no limits on how much time coaches can spend with each other.  Also, while I feel certain that CKS will make a mistake or two on certain decisions as a first time head coach, I also believe that such bad decisions will be minimized as there will be very few scenarios that CKS has not identified and prepared for.  Given his mentor and his own self-determination and drive, I truly believe that his attention to detail will be second to none.

  12. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole Richmondawg We have a young lady posting social stuff around Athens now as well…. right?

  13. Greg Poole

    Richmondawg Yeah, he is entering Grady in the fall – gotta train him up to be the new Logan ##

  14. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole Can’t believe they left out preseason Heisman list, and polls!  Those are meaningless as well!

  15. Bleudawg

    Richmondawg Greg Poole MMCSDAWG ill come to Va. and be your intern. i can hold you beer..

  16. Richmondawg

    Greg Poole MMCSDAWG you have an intern now?  Moving up in the world, Greg…..

  17. Greg Poole

    Bleudawg Could be – I think UGA is about to take 2 other RBs and he ain’t playing QB in Athens – that’s why I see him elsewhere.

  18. MMCSDAWG

    converted 1981 Greg Poole MMCSDAWG Even the best make those types of mistakes, but like you said,  it only happens once!

  19. Greg Poole

    converted 1981 I agree but if my experience with Kirby so far is a guide, he will have someone tasked to watch the clock and keep him posted.

  20. Avon Barksdale

    By the end of this season, as Eason progresses, I can see us being that team no one wants to face!

  21. converted 1981

    Greg Poole MMCSDAWG In My humble opinion the biggest challenge CKS will have at being a HC this year will be time clock.  That usually kills a couple of plays and or games for a new coach.  Hard to get down till you actually get burned once or twice, then the good ones never make that mistake again.

  22. Lucas Rogers

    Greg Poole Avon Barksdale Lucas Rogers Jacoby has been laying a little more low lately. I just shot him a message asking if he still plans to decide before the season. I still like Georgia here

  23. Greg Poole

    It is a very exciting time to follow UGA recruiting. There will be ups and down, but for the most part, it is going to about smiles and gloating. If CKS comes out of the season with people thinking that he won more than expected and a positive program momentum…WATCH OUT!

  24. converted 1981

    MMCSDAWG converted 1981 Lucas Rogers AlphaDawg It was just “That LOOK” on ALL of the Vols Coaches and Fans that was priceless…. definately one of my all time favorites against them.

  25. Greg Poole

    MMCSDAWG He seems to be point toward The Opening, now. I think there is a VERY good chance that he will be a Dawg.
    I have given Michael Pope, our intern, a list commit posts to get pre-written. I’ll say this, there are 6 names on the list excluding Beal. That does not mean that UGA will get them all or that all will drop in July.

  26. MMCSDAWG

    converted 1981 Lucas Rogers AlphaDawg SWEET!  I am beyond ready for the season to begin!  All these highlight films are only pouring nitro on an already burning flame!

  27. converted 1981

    Lucas Rogers AlphaDawg Kinda like in 2003.

    Dawgnation89 Greg Poole That commit might play QB….   Maybe.  I’m not too confident in Akers, but I like T. Carter and Swift.

  29. Dawgnation89

    Greg Poole Dawgnation89 Not what I wanted to hear! I was hoping he was the commit you heard about last week.

  30. Dawgnation89

    Also, I know this is a little late but hate to see Dameon Pierce commit to bama! I really wanted to pair him with Zues in ’18

  31. Greg Poole

    Dawgnation89 I would be very surprised if he picked UGA, but it would not be my first surprise,
