Saturday's Game and Selected Carriers

Can this week go any slower????? geeez I wanna hit the road to Athens! Come on weekend!!!! Sorry had to vent!

bigdaddy3050 . . . . venting is good!!

Good Morning All from Athens,

The Rv's have started to roll into town,the fever is spreading. We have our new AD in the house and he and CMR spoke at the Athens Touchdown Club yesterday. Word from folks that went in person.

The new AD is the real deal, he is soooo happy to be back in Athens he looks like the cat with yellow feathers on his chin. More then one person spoke about how CMR is carrying himself. He has his own ideas about just how good the team can be, now and going forward. He is very happy with how the new staff and players have come together and focused on the task at hand. NO I's just lots of We's - we can- we will - be a better team.

CTG keeps after the "D" you are going to have to step it up, don't practice and play like your a 8 & 5 team...Love It

Buc , all of the locals I speak with are on board on your feelings about AM. I do not think you will have to take anything back at all, I think it will be sooner rather than later that the rest of us get on board.

He has all the tools and given time he will learn how to use them. Bank It

Enjoy your wonderful meal !! as always Go Dawgs!!

Just really reaLLY REALLY READY!!!!!! Clayton St., Sanford, the Hedges and some Dawg fottball = best weekends ever!

yankeedawg1, good information, as always. Really enjoy your "Athens" posts. Look forward to them.

One thing that really has me on this "high" is what you mentioned . . . . new coaches and players coming together. After watching a game or two under this "new regime" all of us are going to have a better handle on just what we have.

South Carolina is going to be a war. Don't think that there will be a harder hitting game all year. This is when the "new regime on defense" will let it all hang out. Probably will need to let it "all hang out".

Coach Grantham searching really hard for backup relief, knows it will be needed in Columbia. Appears to me that he has spent a large amount of time, positioning and re-positioning his forward wall. These guys will get a good look at a back that is supposed to be big time. Would hate to have a couple of our linebackers running at full speed coming at me if I am toting the rock.

I am not totally looking past our first game, however . . . . we should be up to the task. Hoping that it will be the kind of game that we don't have to "show" some things that will be used in Columbia. Never forget SS and Athens . . . . never.

Glad to hear that Coach Richt is walking with his shoulders high. It used to bother me a bit when some previous coaches were "poor mouthing" about the upcoming game. If you have a good or great team, say it. Don't think this group of coaches will let the "big heads" develop. I think that this is more than a solid team, we will see.

Think your quote of CTG's reasoning says it best . . . CTG keeps after the "D" you are going to have to step it up, don't practice and play like your a 8 & 5 team...Love It

Thank goodness for change, eh sadlerdawg . . . .

You bet, Buc. We've been "patiently" waiting for things to change for toooooo long. And by "we" I mean 95% of the Dawg Nation. Like everyone else, I am sooooo ready for Saturday, and REALLY looking forward to the following Saturday. Think this even calls for a few laytons---
