Excellent!!!!!
Why’s he got a golorado st shirt on for????????????????
freddawg They are both good running backs. I would be happy if either one came to Georgia. I’d be stoked if both decided to play for the Dawgs!
Guess who else is here checking out Georgia’s scrimmage today

Bulldawg Bob2 What do you think of Akers vs Swift? I actually liked Swift’s video better, even though Akers is bigger and faster. Swift broke a lot of tackles in the one I watched, while Akers did a lot of open field running.
Three names I know visiting UGA today for the Dawg’s scrimmage are Jamyest Williams, Leonard Warner and Cam Akers.

Bulldawg Bob2 At least Reuse didn’t call it a 52 “year” punt this time. That’s a heck of a hang time.
This wouldn’t hold up if UGA was to appeal. A student normally is given up to five years to complete 100 credit hours.
JICYMI last night, Jeremiah Holloman did some punting in their high school football scrimmage

Bulldawg Bob2 Yep, Bob, I’ll be very happy if they just say nobody was hurt. At certain positions, that could be the biggest factor in our success this season.
freddawg scuffletowndawg Hard to say Fred, but you are probably right. Biggest news I want from this first scrimmage is no new injuries and guys competed and played hard … and have come along so that they are better than they were a week ago.
scuffletowndawg Bulldawg Bob2 I have a feeling we won’t get meaningful qb stats. Staff hasn’t said much so far, other than they’re all competing hard.
scuffletowndawg Hey ScuffletownDawg! Good afternoon.
We will do our best to get you guys and gals the most information we can from today’s scrimmage. Big question is – how much information will new Head Coach Kirby Smart allow out ot he media?
RealtorDawg (aka 10canpirate) I guess you saw where our former Pirate, Byron Buxton, made his MLB debut a few weeks ago.
Bulldawg Bob2 Will we get information about today’s scrimmage from your staff or others? Especially the qb stats or general performance. Thanks.
RealtorDawg (aka 10canpirate) haws1178 Hobnailboot aka RobG not right off hand I’ll ask around. I work around some guys who are about to retire. Many of them have stated moving to the lake when they do. Is there a sight to look at the listing
Bulldawg Bob2 Mom is very articulate. Seems like a very devoted mom.
If you need new Georgia gear or need to restock up for the season ahead, the new official UGA collection from the Bookstore for 2016 is out:
The Official UGA Collection Catalog for 2016 is Out! | Bulldawg Illustrated http://ow.ly/CH2m303cTQx
I bet Gurley doesn’t take more than 4 handoffs tonite. I wouldn’t risk him
Bam!
Don’t forget the good camera
Backwudz The statement I read just said if Smith didn’t complete his graduate program in two years, UGA wouldn’t be able to receive future grad transfers (presumably within the SEC?) for several years. He acted like he was giving the waiver to UGA instead of Maurice Smith, with a stick to follow if UGA failed to meet a milestone that the school doesn’t control.
We have an article up from BI’s Michael Pope on Maurice Smith, but here is a video from Smith’s mother’s reaction on him being granted the waiver to transfer and immediately play at UGA from Saturdays Down South:

Bulldawg36 Awesome….Madison is not too far of a drive.
RealtorDawg (aka 10canpirate) Sounds like a plan. I might have it already, but shoot me an email when you get a chance to:
bulldawgbob2@gmail.com
Greg Poole Go get ’em boss man
Could be soon..if my wife gets the job at Morgan county. Will move some where in the Athens area. I think Madison is 30 mins from Athens. That wouldn’t be too far of a drive.
I hope it is a NFL condition in there cause Mo Smith ain’t graduating anytime soon. No doubt he can get it done in the classroom.
Bulldawg Bob2 RealtorDawg (aka 10canpirate) Since I live here, I would be willing to help setting things up and/or cooking something for the tailgate….Let’s plan something…
Don’t forget the Powerade!!!!!!!!
Can’t believe they’re this upset.. They act like they have lost a starting QB or DL. Bama can’t always win at everything.
Greg Poole dont forget your big hat!!!
Morning DD
Time to get loaded up for Sanford and B-M – photos later this afternoon – video in the evening.
RealtorDawg (aka 10canpirate) I hope so RD. We be a lot of fun. I always enjoy getting to see and meet the posters and readers at Bulldawg Illustrated from behind the keyboard in person.
Lots of baby crying over Maurice Smith down in tusk er loser ville!!!! Haha
PTCDawg Yeah, he basically took a slap at UGA as if we instigated this process to steal Smith. Unless he has proof of that, there is no reason that UGA should be potentially punished because a player wants to transfer here.
PTCDawg Bulldawg Bob2 RealtorDawg (aka 10canpirate) Thank you. Will try to post more. We are really busy this time of year so I don’t get to spend as much time here as I would like.
We need wyatt….Solomon and herring!!!!!! We need more DL for this class baby!!!!!!!!!
Bulldawg Bob2 RealtorDawg (aka 10canpirate) What’s up BB2? Are we going to plan a get together this fall for one of the games to have a BI event?
freddawg I thought the exact same thing Fred. Seemed pretty petty on Sankeys part to me too.
I’m with you but like bama fans i can be selfish. If Brice goes on to grad transfer to LSU or Bama next season it’s going to mess with my brain…lol
Seen on FB
ed603 Morning Ed
Bulldawg36 When are you moving to Athens?
Good morning, Bob..
Bulldawg36 This will be the sound of that train coming down the track:
https://youtu.be/makDFWEt2Os
Yeah.. It auto corrected. I’m famous for that!!
Sankey’s conditional terms for Smith’s transfer feel a bit vindictive, and aimed more at UGA than Smith. Unless he has evidence that there was tampering by UGA staff, I fail to see why the athlete’s chosen graduate school should be penalized for being his choice. Grad transfers frequently list degree choice as a reason for transfer to a specific school, and I don’t recall the NCAA putting any conditions on the school if the player fails to graduate. I hope this issue doesn’t go away, and I’d like to see other players challenge the rule, preferably in a court of law to prevent administrators like Sankey from creating rules and conditions at their whim.
