Greg Poole I don’t know. Michael may give you a run for your money 🙂
Looks like we may have a good shot to land D’Andre Swift. He was in Athens yesterday right after naming his top 10. this is his second visit in two and a half weeks!
Rico McGraw (36) and Patrick Allen (58) going into tunnel at G-Day 2016 halftime
I am the world’s greatest fan salesman!!!!!!!!!!!
DawgByte bpUGA09
I was impressed with Ramsey.
Bulldawg36 I was focused on Cleveland the whole day. Anyone get a sense for how Madden performed?
Greg Poole Bulldawg Bob2 I heard his bark is worse than his bite …. 😉
William Poole!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the dawg nation!!!!!!!!
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte Hahahaha. Not sure if that would have went over to well.
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 He incorporated a cut of “Georgia On My Mind” at the intro to “All I Do is Win” which is a song Ludacris did with DJ Khaled and Snoop.
And I know he did “Stand Up” “Money Maker” and “How Low”
Keep in mind I was hearing the music outside of Sanford at the time near the Bookstore, lol. But it was rock’n and hop’n
BahitsDawg DawgByte Bulldawg36 Completely agree. IMHO you always need at least one white kid on D to keep the emotions in check. Underwood can play (big, strong & quick)… no doubt and he deserves a chance.
bpUGA09 Good observations… +1. I also agree with you regarding Eason. He’s clearly the most talented. He can really stretch the field with both his arm strength and accuracy. Kirby is right though, he needs work on his feet. I think you setup the scenario accurately… Lambert will probably start the season and when he falters Eason will step in and the new era begins. Eason to Nauta is going to be a deadly combination.
The 2nd team center was Thomas Willy I think. I thought he did a good job- never heard his name before
Greg Poole haws1178 a quick Douglas could be dangerous. He’s always been willing to put a hit on somebody
I thought he was there to try and ruin my day! lol
The only way I would go into another teams Staduim is if I had a sleeping problem… I would be able to get some good sleep then. They would have to carry me out of there… Because I would be knocked out. Lol
bpUGA09 where did you find the stream? I looked all over for the live stream, but those goobers as ESPN seemed to have them shut down.
Bulldawg Bob2 Yep, slighting Murray he may sick Ramsey on me.
DawgByte Bulldawg36 Is Underwood a walkon? I don’t want it taken the wrong way, but I like a little diversity. It gives us slow, clunky white guys hope that one of our kids might be able to play ball. lol
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte LOL that might have done it. Love the cheers Eason got!
Bulldawg36 Agree… both Walker and Briscoe looked good. So did that white ILB named Underwood. Never heard of that kid. He’s like a bigger Jake Ganus. He let his presence be known. I think he’s good enough to get PT during the year.
Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte lol, they could have held Eason out until 4th Quarter.
BahitsDawg Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Could be.
DawgByte It was definitely a sight to behold and experience. It literally was just like a big home game.
And I agree. UGA did a heck of a job putting everything together.
I am not sure if UGA could do anything to keep butts in the seats into the second half for a spring game except for have a big half-time act for entertainment that would get people to say.
Bulldawg36 I went with a buddy and his family… he’s a Gator fan. He was there to do some scouting. I think everyone in the SEC East is worried. They know we’ve hired one heck of a coach who has his eyes on the prize and they’re worried he’s going to get it at their expense.
Bulldawg Bob2 What songs did Lud perform? Did he dawgify them?
Bulldawg Bob2 It had to be a great day for local businesses. I am sure they loved the spring bonus.
Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Or, supporting Kirby the way many of us are supporting Richt at Miami?
Bulldawg Bob2 Couldn’t agree more… it had the air of something special and even historical and we can say we were there. It was also a Chamber of Commerce day in the classic city. Couldn’t have asked for better weather. I’ll never forget sitting in the stands and asking everyone around us if they think we’d make the 93K. Seeing it fill to the brim was amazing.
Heck yeah!! It was awesome!!! They were more people at G-day than a regular season game.
Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte What an event, Aye? We witnessed history yesterday!
Overall, I thought the administration did a good job of putting this large event together. There’s plenty of room for improvement, particularly on the entertainment front. Because they didn’t pump Ludicrous through the stadium PA it was hard to hear… not that I really wanted to, but that was a bit of amateur hour to say the least the way they tucked him into that corner. The other thing they need to do is get some entertainment going at halftime to keep butts in the seats for the second half. That was horrendous to see that many people bail so early. Heck, I’m sure most people would be willing to pay $5 at the gate to see something good at the half.
Bulldawg36 There were a couple of Alabama fans at the game too. Maybe they were there to see Ludacris? LOL. Don’t know
The only bad thing yesterday was a gator fan sat behind me and when they showed Gurley on the big screen he said that he wasn’t that good.. I just shook my head in disgust. Why would you want to go to a spring game of a team you aren’t a fan of????
I cannot begin to express how much the Classic City was hop’n yesterday for G-Day.
Georgia fans were out in force and definitely heeded Coach Kirby Smart’s call for 93KDay because there were over 100,000 people in Athens for the game. If the stadium could have held, 110,000 or more, they probably would have filled it.
People were coming back by the courtyard between the Bookstore and the Tate Student center after Ludacris played, I was still finishing up at the Bulldawg Illustrated table saying they couldn’t find a seat or were being turned away at certain gates and told to try another gate. There were a couple of thousand people just in the courtyard area.
Downtown was packed and all around the stadium was a sea of Georgia fans in red and black.
The energy was incredible and contagious. When Ludacris did come on, people in the Bookstore and all around it in the courtyard started to dance and were yelling Go Dawgs and Sic’em.
G-Day felt very similar yesterday to the home game versus LSU back in 2013. It was an incredible experience. Proud of my fellow Bulldawg brethren. GoDawgs!
Greg Poole Oh Great. Taking all things Saban wasn’t enough. Now he is stealing from Kentucky.
Must be mad they are ahead of us in recruiting rankings this year.
Walker looks the part as well- he is a Leonard floyd clone. If they both can get to the qb then watch out.
Luda baby!!!! I Actualy ended up enjoying his concert!!!!!
Bulldawg36 Lo C will be key for us. In my mind he has all the physical tools in the world, he just has to want it really bad.
That’s great u didn’t have to fight for a seat. Being on the sidelines are best!!!!!!!
Soooooo, what an incredible event yesterday. I wrote a review when I got back at 10pm last night, so I won’t repeat myself. However, I did want to get everyone’s impression on two things:
1.) Based on G-Day only, does the team appear to be as good as last year, better or worse? Are you more or less confident going into 2016 than you were in 2015 at the same time?
2.) What do you see as our strengths and weaknesses?
Lastly, I thought Kirby’s post G-Day presser was telling when he was asked by a reporter to compare this practice game to what he’s use to at Bama. Based on those standards I believe CKS thinks we have a ways to go.
It’s showing some- I joked with her saying we should of went to the varsity and ate so people would know she is pregnant. Lol
DawgByte Bulldawg Bob2 No problem DawgByte. You can catch us next time.
Bulldawg36 I was actually down on the sidelines with Greg after I got done breaking down the table at the Bookstore.
The defense looked good against the run. Kind of struggled vs the pass..but they were playing vanilla defense. If you allow that qb time to throw the ball..they will pick u apart. I hope during the season that Lo Carter will regain form and terrorise QBs like he did in 14.
Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 How does the lady’s baby bump look? Showing?
Greg Poole LOL. You mean Murray’s G-Day Story
Greg Poole converted 1981 Yes indeed. His shirt was pretty “fly.”
converted 1981 It was good to meet you too. I had a blast meeting a number of readers and posters at G-Day and a bunch, and I mean a bunch of DGD fans.
