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.

    DawgByte DawgDaddy Greg Poole I’m going to make another silly prediction and say I think Chubb starts against UNC and has the most carries for the game. I think he comes out blazing. I think he has such a big year that Sony comes back the following year.

  2. DawgByte

    Hobnailboot aka RobG You want to experience hot, go to Dehli in the summer. I’ve been in 114 degree heat with 90%+ humidity. You step out of a cab and it’s like being hit by a moist blast furnace.

  3. DawgDaddy

    PTCDawg I agree on the WRs, WTH are they thinking?  We have seen some great WRs go elsewhere when we have had Bobo, Greene, Stafford and Murray.  Now with CKS having Eason in the house and Fromm on the way we need more than 1 or 2 really good ones on campus at a time.

  4. dsw61

    PTCDawg dsw61 I don’t understand the WR dynamic either. It will probably improve if Lawrence or Gibson sign.

  5. Doc R

    Hobnailboot aka RobG I was in Vegas one summer, and don’t tell me about humidity, it was just flipping hot

  6. Doc R

    PTCDawg dsw61 ditto—I guess they wan’t to go to “Crap-burn” and have the likes of JJ or NM throwing to them!!!!  #####

  7. Hobnailboot aka RobG

    118 in Phoenix this weekend…SMDH, why anyone would live there is beyond me

  8. PTCDawg

    dsw61 everyone has their own mysteries, one of mine is how having Eason and Fromm in the house (more or less) we don’t have Uber Receivers fighting to get to the front of the commitment line. Maybe if we get Lawrence that will help push them over the edge but if I was a WR I would sure want to go where Eason and Fromm are set for the next few years.

  9. Hobnailboot aka RobG

    MMCSDAWG Hobnailboot aka RobG me too, I’m looking forward to UGA having a “killer Instinct” and that starts with the coaching, Pruitt tried to bring it in a couple of years ago

  10. rugbydawg79

    BenKellam rugbydawg79 godawgs678 my first game was the flea flicker first game of 65 went for 2 and beat Alabama 18-17 I was hooked for life

  11. DawgByte

    BenKellam Greg Poole dsw61 I think you’re short changing Michel and Chubb. I think they’ll run for 1,000 yards against UNC!#!%^

  12. DawgByte

    Reddawg13 godawgs678 It has been widely reported/rumored that Pruitt was upset about the “country club” mentality within the Dawgs program. I think it’s safe to say Kirby is not implying such at mentality at UGA.

  13. Greg Poole

    I don’t have a percentage for them but there is a good to excellent chance for all them.

  14. Dawgnation89

    Whats the experts confidence level on these 2018 recruits? I know its a long ways away, just really bored and its friday.

    Definitely Thicker for sure!  Up to around 235 I believe was the last I heard.

  16. BenKellam

    rugbydawg79 BenKellam godawgs678 I was about 10 when Richt took over. That was the time I started watching football.

  17. rugbydawg79

    Reddawg13 MMCSDAWG PTCDawg Also it seems every picture of him he has gotten a little bigger

  18. rugbydawg79

    MMCSDAWG rugbydawg79 Greg Poole thanks MMC I appreciate it – man that would put even more pressure on your knee – very exciting time for us !

  19. MMCSDAWG

    rugbydawg79 Greg Poole Not Greg…  but the answer is yes.  Bar in front of your head and over your chest.

  20. rugbydawg79

    BenKellam godawgs678 Early Eighties we were calling for The Decade of The Dawgs – Marino and Penn State messed that up -but it will always be 10 to 9 in Texas

  21. rugbydawg79

    Greg Poole since there are no stupid questions – does a front squat mean you are holding the bar over your chest as opposed to behind your neck ?

  22. dsw61

    Did a quick hypothetical QB depth chart for Lawrence. I just looked at Clemson and Georgia. IMO Georgia clearly has the better depth chart. I think the earliest realistic chance he has of starting at Clemson is 2020. At Georgia it would be 2019. That’s assuming that Eason and Clemson’s Johnson live up to their billing. If Lawrence doesn’t sign with Georgia, Zach Gibson is right behind him in 2019. He also looks like the real deal. Hope we get Lawrence, but Gibson looks like he could be really special too.

  23. Reddawg13

    Greg Poole Football is played in the fall, but is a year round sport if one wants to win championships.

  24. MMCSDAWG

    Hobnailboot aka RobG I agree, but I am ready for a change in philosophy.  I don’t want to play not to lose, I want to play to win.  I am still dumbfounded as to why F. Bauta started against UF last year.  That type of mentality will lose more games than win, IMO of course.  It’s like the golfer that is suddenly leading by 2 stokes in the final round of the Masters, he’s gotten there by playing “his” game, whatever that is.  But all of a sudden he sees himself at the top of the leader board with only a few holes remaining.  He goes conservative and tries to manage his way thru the last few holes playing it safe instead of playing the game that got him to the top of the board.  More often than not, he will lose, the great ones know how much to challenge a particular hole (or situation) and they know how to close….   I want a Closer, not a manager.  I will gladly trade 1 interception for 3 TD’s.  And I honestly believe that is the ratio that Eason and Cheney can accomplish.  We should have a pretty good defense, we might not be as deep along the front line as I would like, but I do believe the defense will be improved and better against the run this year, so a single turnover won’t always result in points for the opposing team.

  25. Reddawg13

    Bansai buckeroo Word! And one must also remember the team will support the one that is leading and putting in the work to be that man! Not saying the others aren’t, but I bet I know who is working the hardest.

  26. Reddawg13

    MMCSDAWG PTCDawg Agreed. And although the level of play Eason will face is a lot higher, he is no dummy and he is doing everything he can to be ready. He faced serious competition in the 7 on 7’s he dominated. It’s not like he was playing TE and we all of sudden needed him at QB. And I too am pumped and if Kirby sends in Lambert I will cheer and party on!

  27. Reddawg13

    PTCDawg I’m sticking with Eason. If CMR was still here I would go with Lambert. I believe Chaney has Eason ready to go. We gain nothing by starting Lambert but a lot of hand offs, a stacked box, and dump off passes with a sack or two.

  28. Reddawg13

    MMCSDAWG Reddawg13 godawgs678 and with that the confidence to convert that 4th and goal. The team will accomplish what they see the coach accomplish.

  29. Reddawg13

    MMCSDAWG godawgs678 Richt took us to a higher level than we were but we leveled off and couldn’t leap that last hurdle. McGarity took some admin duties away from Richt and he told us that would give him more time to develop the team and find ways to be on the cutting edge. He didn’t find those ways and develop a championship team. He may have have gotten more money if he had shown he was full bore for a Natty and elite status. Of course as usual JMO.

  30. Reddawg13

    godawgs678 I must agree. Kirby believes we are Georgia too, but believes that one still has to outwork the competition to win Natty’s. I believe Richt was satisfied with his and his coaches efforts and just believed that it wasn’t our time yet for his Natty. I believe he bought into the, well look how long it took Dooley and Osborne theory. Kirby may not win one for a long time but he is going at it like he plans on it being next year!
