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.

    Do they still have photos of hot cheerleaders in them like they did when I used to buy them?

    @Bulldawg36 immediately thought of you when I saw this… I know you hate chickens and this should solidify it

    Yet another talented runner, Chubb is coming off a season-ending injury, but a return to health will have him squarely in the middle of the Heisman conversation. He burst onto the scene as a true freshman when eventual first-round pick, Todd Gurley, was injured and he ranked third in the nation with an elusive rating of 108.5. Opponents stood no chance when trying to tackle Chubb as they bounced off his regularly, and perhaps most impressive, he then showed the speed to create big plays.
    That combination has led to an excellent 7.4 yards per carry average in his two years at Georgia. Chubb finished his freshman season at +21.0 overall, good for sixth in the nation, and he was off to another strong last year before injury struck. Georgia got inconsistent quarterback play a year ago, and this year may be more of the same, so look for Chubb to carry the offense. If he’s back to form, Chubb is as talented as any of the other backs in the nation.

    Toneil Carter’s play on special teams reminds me of Sony his freshman year. Seems like Sony was always the first one down the field to make the hit.

    I trust our coaches in evaluating talent and think that the WR position is very difficult to evaluate in HS. One kid may play in a predominate run offense and may not post huge stats, but may be a much better WR than another kid who plays in a spread offense and posts huge stats.

    I think I’m most excited about him as a RB as he plays big boy football in a legit football state.

    Dawgz4life  Could be – people are jumping on the CB bandwagon – I guess that means he is “trending”

    Looks like for the 2nd year in a row..we are gonna miss out on the top WR in the state. I figured Jacob Eason would help with this… But I guess not.

    MidtownTeacher  You may be right but we often see kids become coy when they are [received to be getting closer to a decision. If the pundits think the commitment is a lock, the messages and phone calls stop.  Gotta restart that 15 minute timer…

    Colonial Dawg Hobnailboot aka RobG I’m glad you enjoyed it!! My favorite was the Newlyweds one where he asked what do you like about the set and dude replied wife number 2….LMAO

  30. Hobnailboot aka RobG

    Panic Fan Hobnailboot aka RobG Thank you sir! Not many people can sing with soul the way he can

    after reading the dawgnation article on Holloman, I’d say there is no way he ends up a dawg. his approach makes him focus on the wrong reasons to pick a school and not the right reasons. that type ofof recruit is who auburn and Tennessee butter there bread with.
    there has also been some talk that our current receiver commits aren’t game changers. receiver may shape up to be the least helped position with the most bodies for 2017.

    If it was up to Herschel Walker, that record would be broken pretty soon. Walker, now 54, is fully confident that he can still help an NFL team.
    “I don’t think I can. I know I can,” Walker told Omnisport this week, http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/herschel-walker-training-for-mma-fight-waiting-on-nfl-call/1tmh8kzr8gjs21b7nhvq3xjzwk. “In a third-down situation, I could help a team out today. I could do a few things and do it well.”

    dsw61 OrangeVenom and GoFightWin are 2 posters that supposedly have deep connections in Georgia recruiting or so they say.

    Personally I think they’re full of it. DeLo has been very tight lipped about his recruitment and unless they’re family members they’re just speculating and basing it on Nigel Warrior being a draw.

    It’s interesting reading some of the Vol comments on Gibbs’ recruitment on their discussion boards. Some Vol fans who claim to know someone close to his recruitment are saying he’s all Vol. Which totally contradicts the recent crystal ball picks to Georgia by Jake Rowe and Kipp Adams. The shenanigans I was warning about from the Vols staff to lock down Gibbs, has to be related to J.R. Reed’s recruitment. It sounds like the Vols thought they had him in the bag. Not sure Reed will matter in the end, but good move by Kirby to keep him from the Vols; as that would have likely sealed it for them.
