While UGA had a good day on the diamond, the Atlanta Braves did not. Lost to Red Sox 11-4
willypmd There you go Willy. He’s a very nice young man when I’ve spoken to him. Seems like a good kid.
Thanks for clearing that up. I have been wondering if it was the BI Zippy.
I may be living in Gardendale for a few months this summer, I’ll have to bring a go Dawgs sign to Kevin Howard’s home games…
Go diamond dawgs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BahitsDawg then he could hate it in his heart of hearts years later, just ask Calvin Johnson. Of course he would never admit it but you know he thinks it.
RumRunnerDoogie I think you are right, I remember seeing you there. haha

Hobnailboot aka RobG Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 While he isn’t very tall, he is built very stocky. He is over 200 lbs in the 209 lbs range. He is stouter than either Anthony McFarland Jr or Khalan Laborn, both of whom are in that 5 foot 9 range, but not quite 200 lbs.
1mandawgpack Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Correct 1man. Swift is considered one of the top AP back for 2017.
1mandawgpack CLTDawg Hobnailboot aka RobG Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Aye. Akers is a heck of a football player and athlete. He is built tough.
RumRunnerDoogie DawgByte Correct. Thankfully we didn’t lose the BD Illustrated Zippy, but unfortunately we lost the “Zippy” he chose his username after. The legendary two sport star from the 50’s Joseph Zippy Morocco.
Georgia also lost another legend from around that era James Thomas “Jack” Roberts.
CLTDawg DawgByte idk its just such a strange recruitment all around, seem to be little of drob actually talking to the media. Now i dont know much about his brother, but he seems to want whats best for drob.
genius of the day goes to a robber in DC, was fleeing the police and jumped a fence and ended up being the west fence of the White House
I doubt very seriously we could land all 3, that would be some serious recruiting
Bulldawg36 I believe he made his decision to leave long before CKS was announced as our head coach as, after the Florida game, he got no further consideration for playing QB at UGA and decided to take his talents elsewhere. Also, I never stated that he was good, only that 2 of the picks in Jax were caused by poor routes by the WR.
All that said, I agree with @CLTDawg that he got a raw deal being thrown into the game in Jax with no real chance of success given that the coaches decided to not let a mobile QB actually be mobile. From everything I’ve heard, he is a great guy and hard worker, so I hope he gets a chance to play in a conference that will better fit his skillset and that he is able to help himself and Coach Bobo be successful as they’re both DGDs.
If y’all think he is so good- then why did he leave when he could of had a fresh start with Kirby. Kirby said he is open to a mobile qb. Beating out Ramsey and lambert is doable
DawgByte CLTDawg It’s a tough spot, because I think a lot of it is because of his brother, not DRob himself…and it’s a lot of pressure on a 17-18 year old to not go with what his family wants him to do…but I agree there has to be a de-crutment period for sure.
He might grow a little but I want em to be our typical prototype size
CLTDawg I hope he commits to UGA. Having said that… if I was Kirby Smart I’d have the kid running Sanford stadium steps for a week in the August heat. Do I really need to explain why?
The timing of DRobs announcement being moved up is great for us, IMO. He’s going to be in Athens this weekend already for a track meet, and might have a chance to visit with coaches some more while he’s in town, and then he’ll be announcing the NEXT DAY in Atlanta? We’re getting the final word with him and another chance to remind him of his fit with the Dawgs.
Glad to know the long recruitment is about to be over, but I’ve got a great feeling about DRob coming to the Dawgs.
Well he will be playing for the Grorgia Bulldawgs in 2016…believe that!!!!!!!
1mandawgpack CLTDawg Bulldawg36 I felt terrible for him. I know the results were what they were, and we can’t make excuses, but it really seemed like he got a raw deal looking back on that game. Everyone talked about how he was such a hard worker, good leader, and his teammates loved him…and the coaches just kind of put him out there without any individualized preparation that would help his playing style succeed against one of the top 10 defenses in the country. Hate that it caused so many fans to write him off as a bad player, because he put in a lot of work and time for the program while he was here. DGD.
CLTDawg Bulldawg36 Agree – two picks in that game were caused by poor routes by the WR as Bauta placed the ball where they should have been. Plus, as a former WR, it takes a lot of time to develop chemistry with a QB and Bauta did not run with the 1s most of the year and really never had an opportunity to develop that chemistry.
Bulldawg36 Can’t judge him off one game though, he was thrown to the wolves against Florida with a bad gameplan that they didn’t adjust once we got behind. Hard for anyone to succeed in their first start like that.

Bingo! another lethal weapon in the arsenal.
CLTDawg Hobnailboot aka RobG Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Akers is one solid guy to be playing QB in high school. Dude looks like a middle linebacker.
CLTDawg Bulldawg36 Correct, the date for signing a national LOI has passed. Unfortunately, he has no legal obligation to attend the school that he verbally commits to on Sunday. Much like the LB last year, it’s not legal until he shows up on campus and enrolls in school
Hobnailboot aka RobG Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 There’s a possibility that we take all three of them…but I’m very very skeptical about Akers. His recruitment will go down to the wire on NSD, and being in a fight with Ole Miss at the final hour shouldn’t sit well with anybody.
websater HUGE! My second favorite back in this class after Akers. Would be a big time get. Love his versatility.
