Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

    MMCSDAWG Greg Poole I really never looked at how many, but who we beat and how many top 25 teams we beat and one more thing how many championships we won. And that will be my marks for Kirby too.

    MMCSDAWG RumRunnerDoogie ahh dont remember that game, thought the blow out at mizzou was last year

    True, we need championships, first start with winning the SECe, then the SEC and with winning the SEC comes an invitation into the CFP…  No excuse for not winning the east the last 2 years and 10+ years now since we have won the SEC.  Wins are nice, but championships are the goal and expectation now!

    The bar has been raised.  10 wins a year is not good enough.

    DawgDaddy MMCSDAWG Right, I just don’t see the positives out weighing the negatives with respect to Lambert starting…   I really appreciate all he did for us last year and he will always be a DGD, but there is an obvious separation in onfield talent between him and Eason that is not overcome with his experience.  He will be a valuable asset this season and could really help Eason with the mental and classroom side of being a QB in the SEC, but I believe we will have to score 35 plus points to win a few games and I don’t believe Lambert is the guy to do that.  Can’t wait to see that first snap from scrimmage!  No matter who’s our starting QB!

    Greg Poole Booch said – “I asked everyone in our football program, starting with me, is to reinvent themselves. I think every year you have to reinvent yourself. You have to be honest with yourself.”

    If he doesn’t win the SECE this year I think UT will give him an opportunity to reinvent himself elsewhere LOL.

    BahitsAgain  yeah, but he will be fired between season’s end and the recruits signing.  Seems a few always flip when the coach is fired.  Just sayin’.

    Greg Poole That was the first season I watched any of The Amazing Race, it was pretty brutal to see here take that watermelon full on in the face.  But I still laughed.

    Greg Poole they will all have the chance to get him next year if things go as they appear they will.

    MMCSDAWG  I don’t agree with Butch Jones often, but he was correct in that you only have about 4 – 5 seconds to make a first impression, either good or bad.  CKS knows that the strength of the program relates to its recruiting lifeblood and virtually everything he does relates to selling the program.

    Greg Poole So if CMR were still here he would be in 2nd place only behind Saban with 9- to win seasons in 15 attempts.   Can you imagine the pressure Kirby is going to be under these first couple of seasons!  I am totally on board with the coaching change, but he has to deliver and do it soon!  I believe he will!

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think that ButtChugging Butch really drives an AMC Pacer??!!

    Greg Poole MMCSDAWG Indeed it is.  I experienced it personally when I was coaching at the pop warner level, I had been an assistant coach and even a HC for one season, then I had the opportunity to join one of our associations best coaching staffs as a defensive line coach and assistant coordinator.  I had only been in this association for a few years but I knew this coach had been involved with the association for a long time and had been the only coach to take a team to the national championships in Orlando.  He was an older guy approximately in his early 60’s when I first started on his staff.  WOW, it was night and day difference to anything I had every been involved in and his organizational skills and motivational skills were second to none I had experienced before.  Working with him for 4 years was enlightening as a coach.
