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 Is this the one that Chicago was trying to get when our haughty ruler flew over to Europe in the early days of his realm, only to be laughed at?

    bahits Greg Poole Bama is not having any issues with recruiting this year, just look at their ranking. Saban is the draw at that program and until he leaves they’ll reload year after year. The key for UGA is to do our best to keep pace and out recruit the other SEC teams, which we seem to be doing.

  14. DawgByte

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole Yes they are. The bidding packages for each city are incredibly detailed (I worked for a company that created the package for Atlanta) and they are vetted by the committee. The problem is the Olympic committee is rife with corruptionn and governed by politics.

    Greg Poole I recall reading multiple Brazilian’s criticizing the U.S. when the lights went out during the Super Bowl. My response was simply: “Hey smart guys, lets see how well you put on the Olympics!”

    Greg Poole Only one team can win the Championship each year.  Bama has been in position to do that for a long time and has done it more than anyone else.

    I am not going to write their obit until they are not in the final 5 at the end of the season for several years running.

    Losing Kirby is going to make it a lot tougher.  We can already see that in recruiting, where Bama would be firmly in the #1 spot ahead of OSU, if Kirby didn’t have our class in the mix.  You know several of our recruits would be committed to Bama, if Kirby was still there.

  18. DawgDaddy

    Greg Poole I don’t understand why this should be.  Aren’t the bidding countries/cities checked out in advance to determine if they can deliver what is promised?

  19. DawgDaddy

    bahits He did the right thing, so many today would have simply done as the creeps buddy’s did and pull out the phone and videoed the whole incident.

    “College football is a place for the old-money powers. It will always be easier to recruit at the Alabamas and Ohio States of the world than in other places, but even then, being relentlessly excellent — not just a program which occasionally chases glory in the way Kirk Ferentz and Iowa seem to do — is exhausting.
    That fatigue appeared to be setting in for Nick Saban last September, fresh off the loss to Ole Miss. A third straight season without a national title appeared to be emerging. If career obituaries weren’t being written about The Hound — Alabama’s modern-day answer to The Bear — a lot of columnists were certainly voicing the idea that Saban’s most fruitful period in Tuscaloosa had reached its apex. Greatness might still emerge from time to time, but it could not be expected — not at the same level, at any rate.”

    No way those guys made those predictions to BAma without some inside scoop. The ship may have sailed on Jacoby

  30. DawgByte

    DawgDaddy Greg Poole It certainly was a gamble. I’ll be honest… at the time I saw the reasoning behind starting Bauta. What I couldn’t abide was the decision to keep him in the game when it was crystal clear the offense was sputtering.

  33. DawgByte

    What’s up lads… the Birthday Boy is in the house!
    Any news on recruits visiting this weekend?

  34. Greg Poole

    dawgmum  No, but the fact that he stayed and went out with Eason in Athens last night can’t hurt.

  41. Reddawg13

    Greg Poole He is going to get a lot of yards this year and years to come! I was really glad to get him!

  45. Reddawg13

    Greg Poole What happened to that track star that we got maybe two years ago, can’t remember his name. Did he leave?
