If the coaches can coach like they recruit, I have no doubt Top..
he should kick his way to the NFL. punters can play for 20 years…
Bansai buckeroo I am convinced he will produce and will start this year. I’ve never seen anyone more ready for a job and confident of his path.
BahitsAgain DawgByte IF chubb comes out strong in the first 4 games the Heisman talk will explose. Pundits will Love the Story line and he will be hard to beat.
BahitsAgain Bansai buckeroo
You mean Drain Bamage????
MMCSDAWG freddawg
What is the Most important game on our schedule this year? To me it is Tenn. Does Anyone actually Believe that Lambert will be able to beat them – NOT me, not 1 bit. IF that is the case then the 1 QB that we All know will have a chance to beat them should get as much playing time under his belt BEFORE that game. Not against Nichols St. but against NC and TWO SEC ROAD GAMES. Which would be worst for our case to lose to Old Pizz or Tenn? Granted None of us want to lose any of them But, WHO can WIN those Games. Both Old Pizz and gUT we will have to WIN not manage. Only one QB that I have seen at UGA has those talents and he is a Freshman. Let him learn against NC and Nichols Before going on the road to Misery.
Paving a way for Chubb daddy ain’t too hard!!!!
DawgByte BahitsAgain No doubt. Any news on his ankle injury? I don’t want anything like that to slow him down. He is fun to watch.
as long as McCaffery and Fournette stay healthy, they have got to be considered heavy favorites…
Georgia boy or not, he’s going to have to produce…but he will have some time..
BahitsAgain Fournette is going to be hard to beat for the Heisman this year.
Bansai buckeroo Remember something and this is important… Kirby is a Georgia boy, born and bred in Bainbridge GA. That’s going to carry a lot of weight. However, I don’t think that’s going to be a factor. The thing about Kirby that impresses me is his text book leadership traits. This man knows how to lead. He will get it done.
The belly boys! Can’t wait for our guys to lean on opposing DLs!
Greg Poole We need more Dawgs! LOL
Way down this thread there is a link on Chubb as a Heisman candidate. While I believe that if anyone could do it, Chubb can, I think it is a bit unfair to be talking Heisman after that injury. However, I don’t think that it will add pressure, because he is one cool cat.
Of course, if he puts up a string of 100+ games, then IMHO, he might and should be the emotional favorite not just because of obvious skill, but because of the tenacious come back. Ok, I am being unfair.
Chubb, just do your thing!
Probably not his proudest moment…haha
Bansai buckeroo I hope his daddy didn’t see that.
DawgByte I don’t either.
Yep..he will get a pass this year but if I was him I wouldn’t lose too many….. 🙂
That guy is hilarious….haha
Need less cats and more dogs!! Lmao!!!!

Bansai buckeroo LOL### RIGHT! Even with devastating injuries and a suspension or 2 we should be able to win 6 .
If we go 4-8, it will be more than the CMR folks up in arms…

What if Kirby had done this – classic:

DawgByte I hear you, but I also hear Kirby saying that it is a 3 man race and it is close.
I agree. Lafayette and Nickelson st are two automatic wins… Plus vandy..Kentucky and tech. I’ll say it now..they’re automatic wins!!
Greg Poole DawgByte Honestly Greg, I don’t think Ramsey is an option. I think this is a two man race between Lambert and Eason.
freddawg Greg Poole I’m with ya Fred! I loved CMR, but after the initial shock wore off and I saw how mature and driven Kirby was it became an easy sale for me. I’m onboard the Kirby train and ain’t jumping off any time soon. He needs time to recruit his guys and fine tune the program.
Bulldawg36 LOL Don’t even see us going 4-8 with our backups.
You will never see a Miami hat on my head. Even if Herschel walker was coaching at Miami. No Miami hat will be on my head.
Greg Poole Very thorough article, probably the most detailed I’ve seen preseason. I still do not believe Kirby will be on the hot seat regardless of what happens this year.
Well I hope they will give him time, more money doesn’t always result into more wins. Kirby will have to be giving some time to add more quality depth in the trenches on both sides of the ball. I’m not part of the CMR crowd…I thought he should have been gone in 2010..even if Kirby fails..it was time to move on from richt.
freddawg Greg Poole Me too, if you ever read my posts back then you would know I loved CMR and I held the administration more responsible than him for our failure to reach championships, but I’m now firmly in Kirby’s corner and will support him thru thick and thin. You never know, we could be 2-3 injuries/suspensions away from only winning 5-6 games, so like you Fred I’ll stick with him!
freddawg Of course not, but there are plenty who are waiting and hoping that Kirby does not do well because their loyalty to CMR is greater than their UGA fanhood.
I know a few nd I see the Miami hats at UGA events.
DawgByte My contention remain that Eason is in a neck and neck competition with a 5th year senior who has started in both the ACC and SEC and a former four-star quarterback recruit who is a junior, and neither has been able to pull away from Eason with a spring and summer of trials. If the competition is as close as Kirby says (meaning they are essentially equal, right now), then you go with your future.
Greg Poole Not all of us in the CMR crowd will turn on Kirby. I loved CMR even though he had his faults as a coach. But, I’ll still support CKS no matter how we do this season. He needs time to fix some personnel problems and get his system in place.
Yes we will…grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Bulldawg36 It is not about him immediately getting fired. But if he loses 4 05 5 this year the CMR crowd will be out in full force. That will not be pretty.
The fact is that he is getting the power and money that he wants to make UGA a competitor to win the SEC annually. His leash will be short under the circumstances.
Greg Poole DawgByte I’ve heard him say that as well, which makes this decision such a nail biter. I just want the young man to succeed and the team to win.
You are going to hurt someone’s feeling…..

Kirby will have time to win. I doubt MCGARITY will be quick to pull the trigger on his hire!!!!!!! Now if Kirby goes 4-8 his first season then I don’t know. Lol
DawgByte You do not have to wonder if Kirby agrees that starting a freshman is unwise, he has said so quite plainly. However, he has also indicated that he may have no better option.
Breaking news!!! Kirby must win immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bulldawg36 Especially on the QB front. I wake up everyday throw in an Eggo waffle to see what side it lands on – Eason or Lambert. I still think starting Eason against UNC is not wise and I think Kirby agrees. Give Jacob some series, but go with the guy who can run the offense and keep us competitive in a tight game we should win. Pound the rock and grind the Tar Heels into the mud, that’s the formula for success against that D.
Watching lee vs jones!!! It’s crazy how they want show the games live in my area. I’ll have to watch the Buford game online..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
freddawg MMCSDAWG Right, I’m not saying Eason is a lock, but in making the case, I really believe it’s his job to lose and maybe he’s not mentally ready at this very moment, but he is going to be the starter sooner rather than later and if the competition is remotely close(like everyone says), then you pick the one with the highest potential and most talent. This Scrimmage Sat is going to be HUGE! If Eason can handle the things that Kirby is going to throw at him and get the ball out quickly to the right read, then we will have our starting QB come Monday….
MMCSDAWG I agree, especially with the part about trying to never make a mistake. Overthinking is as bad as not thinking. Murray peaked when he started trusting his instinct and letting it fly. The only way Lambert could win the job is if he suddenly developed that instinct, which seems unlikely but not impossible.
Also, MJ Webb commited to the yard hens. I do hate to see Georgia guys leave to go play for two teams I absolutely hate!! Don’t want our guys to leave the state!!!
