    Technically it was a wish and not a dream. ## And I used one of my three wishes for a million more wishes once so I got plenty to spare

  2. RobDawg

    One of my wishes just came true – finally saw one on the several men in motion in Canadian Rules Football get called for crossing the line too early for off sides penalty

  3. PTCDawg

    Bulldawg Bob2 to your point, of the 11 on the roster I have listed as a DL, 10 of the 11 are either freshman or sophomore, with Atkins being the only exception as a junior.

  4. Bulldawg Bob2

    I’d have to look at my notes but I am away from my computer at the moment.
    But the d-line class is not going to be as good as it was in 2015 or 2016.

  5. Bulldawg Bob2

    I thing Tennessee has a very talented 2016 team with experienceto boot. But can Butch and company get them to Atlanta in November?

  6. Bulldawg Bob2

    Alabama has to release him before he can transfer to UGA. If they do, he can attend Georgia academically bit is not eligible to play football for a year under the grad transfer rules of the SEC.

  7. Hobnailboot aka RobG

    GaSoldier If they had a better coach they would be pretty darn scary, they do return quite a bit of experience, but Sgt. Carter is a joke

    Bulldawg Bob2 I dono Bob, Im not sure how many offers are out there but if you dont count Beal as a DL, the only other person I see that we have a high interest in is Herring. And some people on here have said even he is more of a LB. I dont think he is but still, if we have other major targets out there I dont know who they are.

    tmdawg12 one more reason to hate auburn putting all that disgusting graffiti on that nice car

  10. Bulldawg Bob2

    UGA is recruiting d-line pretty aggressively. Georgia has a number of offers and targets for 2017 d-linemen, but not a lot of commits thus far.
    Keep in mind that the majority of d-linemen on the roster are freshmen and sophomores.

  11. PTCDawg

    WillieWalden guessing one reason is the limited number of options in this class and another is we dont have a single DL on our roster that is a senior. so maybe they just think the other positions are a higher priority.

  12. WillieWalden

    Why aren’t we recruiting the d line more heavily this’ year? I know in state may be alittle down this year but it doesn’t seem like we’re pursuing any of the top d lineman in the southeast …

    Bulldawg Bob2  Eason is displaying a little bit of shoulder tilt on his intermediate throws in this clip. Very encouraging sign. Any amount of tilt is progress. Shoulder tilt will naturally raise his release point without messing up anything else. It will also allow him to finish around rather than bending straight forward at the waist.  Hope he keeps it up.

  14. haws1178

    Bulldawg Bob2 did I read the last statement in that article correct? That he can go to uga for one year academic only then be cleared to play the following year

  15. PTCDawg

    long way to go but some interesting 2017 average commit ratings…

    UGA: 93.44
    Bama: 91.36
    LSU: 90.03
    Aub: 89.77
    Fla: 88.94
    A&M: 88.13
    Ol Miss: 87.36
    Tenn: 86.50
    Miss St: 85.85
    Ky: 85.05
    Ark: 84.91
    Scar: 84.85

    OSU: 94.69
    FSU: 92.44
    Clemson: 91.76
    Mich: 89.05
    So Cal: 87.90
    Miami: 87.85

    Unconfirmed and unofficial report that Atkins hyperextension his knee in practice yesterday.

  17. Bulldawg Bob2

    It’s just an automated email from ESPN. Everyone that participated in pick’em last year will get one.
    I’ll do a post next week probably which will have a link and info.

  18. RumRunnerDoogie

    bahits Bulldawg Bob2 RobDawg RumRunnerDoogie haha no glazed over eyes for me until the doctor says i can

  19. bahits

    Bulldawg Bob2 DawgByte I hate to say it, but he should go to OSU or Clemson and hope to get a shot at Bama in the play-offs.

  20. Bulldawg Bob2

    Sophomore defensive lineman DaQuan Hawkins was allowed to speak to the media today after practice. We’ll probably have some info and video up later.

  21. Bulldawg Bob2

    RobDawg  Aye; however, these are just practice helmets. Doubt we see much change to the game day uniforms, but I could be wrong.

  22. Bulldawg Bob2

    RobDawg it does look different, but RumRunnerDoogie is right. Could be the filter or lens the photographer is using

  23. RobDawg

    BulldawgBob I got an email today from ESPN College pickem saying it’s time to get started but didn’t see our group out there. Is something brewing or is it coincidence that I got the email?

  24. RobDawg

    Do my eyes deceive me or is that helmet below like a red chrome finish which would be different than the red plastic finish we’ve seen in past

  25. Bulldawg Bob2

    DawgByte Little Nicky seems a whee bit perturbed by the media questions on Maurice Smith me thinks

  26. Bulldawg Bob2

    JaxDawg  I haven’t heard much, but Greg Poole or Michael Pope may have some insight on Rico McGraw.

  27. Bulldawg Bob2

    DawgByte Bulldawg Bob2  Yep. Even if Bama releases him to transfer to UGA, he would still have to get a waiver from the SEC to be eligible to play in 2016, which, the SEC office initially have not granted to Smith. He can appeal though.
