Bulldogs will wear black jerseys at home later this fall

BahitsAgain Greg Poole Codeine and sprite with jollyranchers to be exact.
Some of those transfers are due to coaching changes on the staff though, but you make a good point.
godawgs678 My frustration around Richt and recruiting is two things.
1. He often lost out on a major recruit right at the last minute
2. We had two classes that if you back and look at, a huge chunk aren’t even with the team from being dismissed or transfer.
Biggest criticism for recruiting at UGA under Mark Richt was lack of emphasis on o-line and to some extent d-line.
It wasn’t that he and his staff failed to bring in some talent on those units, but it was not a priority; so, there were a number of classes where Georgia only brought in 3 o-linemen. If memory serves me right, there was 1 year where UGA only signed 2 OL.
And there were some big misses on the o-line. It looked like he was finally addressing that in 2015 wih the 2016 class, but it was too little too late.
Greg Poole This is a ref. to Trayvon Martin who mixed his own purple drink with Robitussin. Apparently, there are street “purple drink” formulas that mess you up bad.
Bulldawg Bob2 Be careful, Bulldawg36 might think Holy Smokes is a vaping oil and get all over you.
UGA UGA UGA UGA UGA UGA!!!!!!!
Not that much..it’s probably loaded with sugar and sodium!!!!!
godawgs678 I disagree. He wasn’t as good as Kirby, but we always had a top 15 class. If anything, we got better the last couple of years by actually filling the roster slots up. I never could understand having the roster down in the low 70s when you are allowed 85.
Pruitt, I believe, helped a lot the previous two years.
Ahhhh yeah!!! Best drank…..drink….ever!!!! #####
Holy smokes! How much “purple drank” do you have to down to gain 40 lbs!
Greg Poole does it have skittles in it?
Greg Poole JaMarcus Russell swore by it…
Panic Fan Greg Poole we have a bunch in Virginia, especially in those newer gated golf communities around Williamsburg
This is not an NFL approaved conditioning program:

This is fueled by EC’s post below on what those around the SEC are saying about Georgia…
When I look at our depth chart, it kind of angers me. I won’t lie. I feel like Richt got extremely lazy with the recruiting the past few years. While I appreciate all the DGD’s on our roster, some of the players we offered and signed the past 2-3 years were major projects that didn’t translate to SEC football. Most noticeably on the lines of scrimmage. It was frustrating to hear about all these “Diamonds in the rough” we signed when other teams around the league were getting top notch talent and depth. The state of our depth is scary and it’s going to take at least two years to fix that issue.
What dang coaches said we have no linebackers?????
Watch out! Appy st might pull the upset being at home
PTCDawg Greg Poole I can see the argument. Ganus was a UAB transfer and ended up as starter and team MVP. Leonard Floyd started the year at inside backer when he was a top 10 NFL draft pick because he can rush the passer. Those 2 things could definitely make you wonder especially if you are an outsider.
Greg Poole Panic Fan By the way of the Northeast/New England. We call them “Halfbacks”, they can’t stand the heat of FL so they move half way back.
Right. This is not ideal no matter how many stars they have.

Panic Fan Yep. I had a relative who had a place near Waynesville (?). Several of her neighbors were from SOFL.
Greg Poole Panic Fan That’s all of WNC, not just Boone.

Buy my guess is that Saban and his OL coach would prefer not to start a freshman on the o-line.
No kidding. Watch the video and looked at the photos several times lol
Panic Fan Yep, love Boone. And about 10k Miami residents have summer cabins in those surrounding hills.
LOL U0001f605 but so true
Greg Poole If you guys have never visited Boone, its a magical little mountain town!!
Greg Poole “dont have any good linebackers”…I guess Im just not as smart as I think I am (pause for guffaw here) because i see LB as being our best position group outside of TEs.
AlphaDawg Bulldawg36
Miami will play Appalachian State in Boone. North Carolina. Yes, in Boone! At least the ‘Canes will be able to play in front of a sellout crowd.

Greg Poole Does anyone else find it odd that Alabama is talking about starting another True Freshman at OT? I know we talk a LOT about OL not being ready to start in the SEC, but Alabama has been able to find 3 in a row that can start in the SEC. That level of recruiting is where I want Pittman and Kirby to get to, once we reach a similar level, and I truly believe we will, look out!
Greg Poole hahaha..yeah, like all the OTHER programs that have the 2’s and 3s like Alabama does…right!!
Everybody is speculating about Georgia’s quarterback
http://www.teamspeedkills.com/2016/8/2/12347810/georgia-football-will-jacob-eason-win-the-bulldogs-starting-quarterback-job
BahitsAgain The implication is that it was more than one
Greg Poole As long as Eason can maintain a positive TD to turnover ratio preferably 2-3 to 1 TD to interception/turnover. If he can manage that, we will be fine.
5 true freshman who could end up in SEC top 25 — includes Eason

Greg Poole Can you guess the coach?

“On defense, Kirby isn’t walking into the same kind of talent he worked with at Alabama. Just one example: They don’t have a linebacker corps; I mean, they just simply don’t have any good linebackers. They’re player deficient right now. I think they’ll probably have some headaches early but Kirby will get it done. He’s really, really, really good, and bringing Mel Tucker with him was huge. Those guys can coach.”
“Jim Chaney is as good as anybody. They have a legitimate staff, so Georgia just needs to give those guys a little time.”

ANOTHER:
“They’re pretty solid at the No. 1s, but when you dig down the depth chart they don’t have the No. 2s or 3s like Kirby Smart and those guys are used to having at Alabama. The recruiting kind of fell off the last few years under Mark Richt.”

Athlon does anonymous quotes from SEC coaches each year. Here is one:
“I think the new staff has to count on the freshman [Jacob Eason] coming in to be the guy at quarterback because they don’t feel like they have anyone else on the roster to do what he does. I think he’s a can’t-miss prospect, but that’s a tough deal as a coach when you’ve got no choice but to put a true freshman out there. There’s going to be some inherent issues with that.”

Bulldawg Bob2 DAWGS getting after that A$$. Seeing those guys for just 5 minutes on Greg’s video was pure dawg porn.
Sic’em
DawgByte Can’t wait to hear reports of Chubb in a live scrimmage. Once we have him taking hits in scrimmage situation I will feel a lot more confident in him starting against UNC.
Hello boys and girls. Day 2 of practice and wonder what news will be brought to our ears and eyes?
Sounds like Kirby is going to keep UNC and us guessing regarding the starting QB. I just hope he knows in enough time that the starter gets all the snaps in preparation for the opener.
Yes sir
