    Night game and if we lay it to ALL of our other suffragettes Before gUT then bring it on!

    Greg Poole Tell the young buck to get used to it, it becomes a way of life the older you get!

    We are waiting out a weather delay for practice. However, it is not looking good. Reuse just went out side an said it is looking bad and we just got a tentative time of 5:10 to start. That means we will get out of here about 10 – if Kirby keeps his date with us.

    If they have another delay, my guess is the can this pratice and make it up on a Sunday. If they actually start it they can’t stop then make it up.

  13. haws1178

    Completely agree. If e are up a good bit 21 points or so. Put second string in and run the offense like we are down by 7

    converted 1981 Bulldawg Bob2 Would possibly still be quite warm early October for Tennessee — if we play them at night !   Woo-Hoo

  24. BahitsAgain

    Bulldawg Bob2 If there is such thing as a “system RB”  Bama guys have been that.  I wonder if Henry will have much of a career.  He should be good at pounding into the line, but he isn’t a Gurley, Michael, Cubb or Marshal.

    Our guys, had to be great because our OL wasn’t Bama’s OL.

  25. Bulldawg Bob2

    converted 1981 Cannot disagree there. And I would be all for the Black jerseys against the Bugs.

  26. converted 1981

    Bulldawg Bob2 converted 1981 IF they earn it then Awbarn or Yech.  Small chance they might have a chance by the ugly orange gUT game but not sure if enough to prove themselves by then.

    Say we beat Sticky foots by 14, misery by 17 and old pizz by 3.  Do we want to risk firing up what is supposed to be the best team in the east by wearing black?  When we may Not be ready to back it up.  College football is controlled by emotion more than any other sport.  Prove yourself First baby.  Then the honors.

  29. Bulldawg Bob2

    converted 1981 Agree. That is why I was thinking more for senior day or homecoming. If the team is undefeated, let ’em vote on whether or not to wear the black jerseys.

  30. converted 1981

    Bulldawg Bob2
    Please, please please NOT until they EARN IT!  Make them work for it and consider it an Honor once they have proven themselves above what the Coaches expected.

  31. Bulldawg Bob2

    Bulldawg36  Hard to make judgements off the first day of camp, but it was really good to see Nick Chubb practising full speed in the conditioning drills with the team. It was also good to see Sony Michel working out with Courson.

  32. Bulldawg Bob2

    MMCSDAWG Aye.

    Rico Johnson was a medical DQ

    Leonard Floyd is going to ply his trade in the NFL.

    There were 5 JUCO players who used up their eligibility after 2014 or 2015. The JUCO players include Kennar Johnson, Chris Mayes, Shaquille Fluker, Jonathan Rumph, and Toby Johnson.

    Of the remaining 28:

    Quincy Mauger is a SR who has played in 39 games and started 25 at safety. Projected starter at safety for 2016.

    Brandon Kublanow is a SR who has played in 35 games and made 26 starts on the OL. Projected starter at Center for 2016.

    John Atkins is a RsJR. who has played in 20 games and started 3 on the DL. Projected starter at Nose for 2016.

    Reggie Davis is a SR who has played in 37 games and started 8 at WR.

    Brendan Douglas is a SR who played in 36 games at TB.

    Davin Bellamy is a RsJR who has played in 20 games, starting 2 at LB and looks to be a projected started at OLB for the Dawgs in 2016.

    Reggie Carter is a RsJR. who has played in 21 games, starting 1 at ILB. Looks to be in the mix to vie for a starting role or at the very least 2 deep at ILB for 2016.

    Reggie Wilkerson is a RsJR. who has played in 14 games at CB.

    Tim Kimbrough is a SR who has played in 36 games and started 7 at ILB, and like R. Carter, he looks to be a major player at ILB for the Dawgs at 2016.

    Brice Ramsey is a RsJR. who has played in 19 games at either QB or P, and he is in the thick of the QB and P competition for Georgia for 2016

    Also still remaining are FB Welch, LB McGhee, OL/TE Bynum, TE Davis, LB Rankin along with LB Johnny O’Neal.

    So that is 16 players remaining from the 2013 class out of the 34 signed. 10 of the 34 did transfer. Not sure what happened to D’Andre Johnson … or cannot remember I should say.

  33. Bulldawg36

    Jake Rowe said Eason was off his first day. But said Chubb looked even better than in the spring!!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. godawgs678

    MMCSDAWG Kennar Johnson…might be the biggest “what the ####” offer I’ve ever seen us give out. Haha

  36. Bulltoad

    godawgs678 Our defensive MVP last year came from a disbanded UAB program, our starting QB was the backup at Virginia and we are counting on a transfer from Rhode Island to possibly be our starting left tackle this year.  We definitely have some depth issues.   Personally I don’t think Richt was lazy I just think he was not tough enough.  If you paid your dues he was loyal to you (Huston Mason).  If he offered you a scholarship and you accepted it then you were guaranteed to not lose it.  I believe the word Kirby used yesterday was “entitled”.  If you have “quality depth” then it will not be an issue because the man behind you is a 5 star and will take you job.  We don’t have that right now so that is Kirby’s biggest challenge.

  37. godawgs678

    PTCDawg Not necessarily talking about recruiting rankings. More the fact that the depth on the OL and DL is where it is now. There is no excuse to sign 2 or 3 OL in a class. We lost out on so many good OL the past few years. And we NEVER had a chance at pulling guys from Alabama, Louisiana (Chigbu is an exception), Texas (again, Stafford is an exception), California etc. He didnt put the emphasis on busting his tail on the recruiting trail like this staff. We had one major recruiting day a year (Dawg Night). With the current staff, it seems we have a few top prospects on campus every weekend. 

    Speaking more out of frustration than anything.

  39. MMCSDAWG

    Bulldawg Bob2 There has definitely been an attrition issue.  If what PTC states below is accurate and I believe it is…  We have lost a ton of talent to something, because right now our Jr. and SR classes are extremely thin.  Looking at our current depth chart, I see a total of 5 maybe 6 Sr’s starting for us next year, I see 6 Jr’s as well.  If our recuiting back 3 and 4 yrs ago was top 10 as believed, then where is that talent.  The class that is hurting right now is the 2013 class.  That class had 32 recruits, and like I said, only 3 possibly 4 out of that signing class are projected starters right now.   According to my count only 16 remain on the roster.  That’s the problem, you can’t build depth and experience when your 2 senior most classes have not produced.  Was it evaluation. coaching, personality, who knows, but the truth is we missed on something somewhere.

  43. Bulldawg Bob2

    Know it is an hour away from Athens but been thundering and raining here for the past hour

  44. Bulldawg Bob2

    That makes sense. I could see then breaking out the black for the Tenn game, homecoming or senior day.

  48. AlphaDawg

    Bulldawg Bob2 As for the season opener against North Carolina in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, McGarity said game organizers had already requested that both Georgia and the Tar Heels wear their traditional home jerseys, red and light blue, respectively.

  50. AlphaDawg

    McGarity said. “It will be one game a year. It’s one of our team colors. But we still think our red jersey is one of the best in college football.”
