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 lagadawg MMCSDAWG Funny thing Byte…  A lot of us are guilty of falling in love with Pruitt and many of us were fighting tool and nail for him to be retained.  But, by the same token you speak of, why were we all thrilled with Pruitt…  pretty sure it was his defenses that looked totally inept in those two most recent UF games and especially in that 2014 game where they ran on us for like 1000 yds ( I kid, but not much less).  Why were most of us thrilled with Pruitt…  Did our defense really improve??  Last seasons defensive statics were an anomaly, we didn’t face but maybe 3 decent passing teams, and I’m quite sure most of us remember how close we came to getting beat by GSU….     Just wondering again why we were so accepting of a mediocre at best defense in his two seasons…  Probably has something to do with Grantham and his totally annoying self… haha.

    Bulltoad DawgByte Bulldawg Bob2 Here’s my reason for Jones.

    We’ll have Fromm in the stable. By adding Jones we get someone with a different set of skill sets, which will make DC’s struggle to scheme against us.

    There is only 1 way to find out!  Let’s get it on…  I’m ready for some Football!

  7. RumRunnerDoogie

    MMCSDAWG lagadawg welll guess we will find out if UGA is just doomed to face plant in big games or actually win a couple now

  9. DawgByte

    lagadawg MMCSDAWG From what I understand the Fla game of 2014, where we got embarrassed by an inferior opponent, was the beginning of the downfall. When we lost to Tech the same year, it just iced the deal. Another loss to Fla in 2015 combined with no SEC championship in 10 years was enough to put the final nail in the coffin.

  10. MMCSDAWG

    lagadawg MMCSDAWG Like most of you have stated….  I too believe CMR’s tenure at UGA was on life support following the debacle at home against Alabama,  and then Ended totally with the dumpster fire that was the UGA team that showed up here in JAX and lost again to a UF team that had no QB.

  11. MMCSDAWG

    Greg Poole By yourself???  lol.  I had all 3 of mine at the house yesterday, thankfully it was really nice outside and they tore it up!

  13. lagadawg

    MMCSDAWG I think the Fla. game was the reason Richt was fired mostly. Made a stupid mistake in the biggest game of the year and made Ga. look terrible.

  15. AlphaDawg

    Bulltoad AlphaDawg MMCSDAWG I would think he’ll try to show off his arm a little more for the NFL scouts.

  16. AlphaDawg

    MMCSDAWG It is a good question. For some reason, I still say we get Kirby. I think too many people didn’t want him going to USC.

  17. DawgByte

    MMCSDAWG One play in a game against Tenn was not the reason for the coaching change, nor was the outcome of that contest. This change was set in motion in 2014.

  19. Greg Poole

    MMCSDAWG  There were plenty of opportunities in that game other than Reggie’s – like making a few tackles…….but, although it may have made some difference, that stinker in Jax qas a complete coaching fumble and doomed him.

  20. MMCSDAWG

    Saw this question asked on another site so I’m plagiarizing the question, but interested in the boards answers…

    If Reggie Davis doesn’t drop the pass against Tenn and UGA goes on to win that game, would we have Kirby as our coach right now, or would CMR still be in Athens????

  22. Bulltoad

    DawgByte Bulldawg Bob2 Lawrence.  The #1 thing for me is the ability to throw the football and he is supposed to be the best.   I want my QB to be a playmaker who has the ability to get the ball to all the other playmakers on the team.

  25. MMCSDAWG

    DawgByte Opps forgot the why….  lol

    Like bob said, both have pretty darn good arms and from all accounts Jones can make all the throws and has shown accuracy as well.  So his mobility gives him a distinct advantage in my personal view.  I would love to see a multi faceted offense between the hedges, one based on Pro-style fundamentals but flexible enough to incorporate the spread and read option as well.

  28. Bulltoad

    AlphaDawg Bulltoad MMCSDAWG I have no problem with Dual Threat as long as he can get the ball to the playmakers with his arm.  Watson can throw and run.  I imagine Watson will run less this year if possible.  The key is to have playmakers everywhere and a qb who can get them the ball.

  32. Bulldawg Bob2

    DawgByte Bulldawg Bob2 I’d be happy with either one.

    Jones probably provides more of a threat with his legs when he tucks it down and runs over Lawrence, but Trevor probably holds the slight edge as far as a passer.

    Both are extremely talented and could be UGA’s next starter at QB post-Eason

  33. AlphaDawg

    Bulltoad MMCSDAWG Sounds like a dual threat kid can open up the possibilities. Kirby still slobbering over how Watson tore up his defense. lol

  35. Bulltoad

    MMCSDAWG I love this quote from Kirby.  “I’m tied to whatever our offense can do, whatever the quarterback can do,” Smart said. “I’m a big believer in your offensive limitations come from your quarterback. The more he can do, the more you can do. …You better have one of those.”

  36. AlphaDawg

    Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte Haha would love that but both of those guys could be starting any power 5 schools

  37. DawgByte

    Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte Assumption is we can only get one. Asking people to make a choice and state why.

  43. Bulldawg Bob2

    Malcolm Mitchell and Keith Marshall going to be in Athens for G-Day game on Saturday, April 16th at UGA Bookstore meeting and greeting with fans taking pictures and signing autographs. Yet, another reason to try to make it to the Classic City for G-Day this year.

  45. AlphaDawg

    PTCDawg AlphaDawg I was confused at who Huck was. lol was hoping for a link with context. Carry on, I’m not to be entertained.

  47. Bulldawg36

    Beat South Carolina!!!!!! Will Muschamp is already running his mouth!!!! Go dawgs!!!

  49. PTCDawg

    AlphaDawg PTCDawg Not sure if thats a question Alpha. I was just responding to ECs comment yesterday that I’m Your Huckleberry is going to be contributing here from time to time. He doesnt write often but when he does its always really good stuff. I would go check his site once or twice a day and he would go two or three weeks between postings. His last site, IYHsports, has apparently been taken down. He was at another site before that, the name of which escapes me.
