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.

    ed603  I have started walking in the midday heat to get acclimated for fall camp. It’s going to be brutal in August.

    BahitsDawg When I was a teenager I never thought of her as being too skinny…now that I’m older I do think she is a little too skinny. Funny how that works.

    oh, good grief

    I new an NFL player posted the disgusting and highly offensive picture of a police officer having his neck slashed, but until seeing the headline on the AJC DawgNation, I didn’t know it was former dawg Isiah Crowell.

    Bleudawg BahitsDawg lol – after posting this, one thing stood out and I realized it wasn’t her smile or skinnyness.

    Greg Poole That would be a cool upset.  I was watching UGA 2015 in 60 minutes last night and I had forgotten how close Georgia Southern had us.   That would have made their eternity and would have been a long lived nightmare for us.   I still laugh at Florida losing to them.

    A bit too skinny for me, but I saw you all mentioned the old famous Farrah Fawcett poster last evening.

    So it seems an FCS team was able to deflate a team that was supposed to go compete for a championship. Say, who is Tennessee’s first opponent this year? A former FCS team and current Sun Belt conference member – Appalachian State.
    The Mountaineers went 11-2 last year. They know how to win and I’m sure that nothing would make them happier than to upset the Vols at Neyland Stadium in week one.
    The timing is perfect. The Vols, completely consumed in their Battle at Bristol against Virginia Tech and Florida in week four, look past the feisty Mountaineers team and are pushed to the limit, bringing up questions on if they can handle the hype.
    Don’t ask for my head just yet. Do I think that Appalachian State will beat Tennessee this year? Of course not. Will fellow Sun Belt conference member Ohio sneak past the Vols in week three as UT prepares to break the Florida curse? Yeah, right. That’ll never happen.
    I’m just saying the Vols should be careful here. That four game stretch of vs Florida, at Georgia, at Texas A&M and vs Alabama in late September-early October is brutal.

    I really enjoy hearing our DGDs giving back to their communities. AJ was a once a decade type of player but a better person

    The recent development of details about Sony’s injury makes me wonder if he will be back in time for the first game. Compound fracture with both bones coming out of the skin. Ouch

    Greg Poole The only way I can see Kirby making that statement about the OL is if Pittman told him there’s enough talent on the roster to put together a solid OL.

  39. DawgDaddy

    Greg Poole I actually saw some GT fans in the stands of that last one so we must have been at Grant Field.  haha.

    More time off for college athletes:

    The concepts put forth by the P5 leagues, as part of what’s been called the “Flex 21” plan, which could be customized further by individual conferences as they are more fully shaped, give athletes more time away from their sports, starting with 21 additional days during the academic year with no athletic activities — seven immediately following their respective seasons and 14 more through the academic year.
    In addition, during the season, athletes would weekly get one full day off, in which they have no required activities. That is not a new rule, but, as is, some teams use that time as a travel day. Under these proposals, that would not be allowed.
    Also, there would be a consecutive eight-hour overnight block that would fall between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., during which no athletic-related activities could be required.

    “I actually feel better now than I felt going in the spring,” Smart said during his Tuesday session at SEC Media Days. “I think that’s because I just know more. I don’t think you’re ever comfortable. If you ask any coach in the SEC if he’s comfortable with his offensive line, nobody has enough tackles. There’s just not enough of them. You want a 6-5, 6-6 guy, they’re hard to find.”
    “I feel much better now going into fall camp having watched what we had in spring and watched those guys improve under Coach Pittman’s tutelage. And Tyler Catalina coming in as a transfer, we hope to give us some competition there for a starting job.”

    When asked if tailback injuries would dictate the QB starter, Smart said:
    “Well, you say if you don’t have either back, which I certainly hope that’s not the case, does it become a situation where you’ve got to go throw the ball better? We’ve got to go look at the long term, not just the first game. There’s more to this season than the first game. We’re not putting all of our eggs in the first-game basket. We’ve got to figure out who’s going to be our best leader and give us the best opportunity to win. I don’t think that’s dictated by who the back is or if there’s a back healthy or if there’s two backs healthy.”
