From Athens - Come on Spring !!!

Good Morning All,

It has taken me most of the week to purge the Super Bowl party I ate too much for to long adventure that I put myself in.

I had a chance to catch up with one of the local old Dawgs who is BVD (Before Vince Dooley). I will share with you what he is putting down.

In his mind across the board in all sports there has been a wake up call issued by Mack. Everything is up for review and subject to change. Without a doubt there has been more non- personnel changes with this CMR era football team since the end of the season than he can remember, many of them under the radar and out of the news. The first dividend was our signing class for 2011. Far above the expectations held by many. The interesting point is how the coaching staff all worked together to get the In State guys to stay home. Gone was the lure of Bama and UF. This group wants to be sure that their house is defended well. Again this was no small victory.

It would appear that the football coaches did not only receive Mack’s message but more importantly it was acted on. The good words continue to come from JT’s – C&S program. Our new OL coach WF looks to be a good fit with the players and coaches. Fresh face and eyes to the program. Wish him well and much success. Make our big uglies mean again! Some feel we could have done better with a bigger name. Time will tell if going young was a smart move.

Rumors from campus included an overhaul of our playbook based on the incoming and current talent. I hope that this news is not just a coat of paint but truly inserting some plays that defenses don’t expect from us.

We all have had a dose of hope & change, what we need from our football team is action and results. Namely winning! I am encouraged with the signs and direction we our headed along with less coach speak.

Yes there may be light at the end of the tunnel, I just want to be sure it not moving toward us.

Spring practice is but 27 days away!

Have a great weekend and a safe week. As always “Go Dawgs” !!!

YD1, I like what you are hearing in Athens......keep your ear to the ground for us. I have a good feeling about WF and believe he will do a great job. New blood can be a real good thing. Some irony (and good news) is they may be changing the play book when we have the talent up there to win with ANY playbook. SO much talent up there. IC will make a huge difference. Look forward to seeing new plays and schemes......ok, I'm calm BUT feeling pretty GOOD right now.

Have a great weekend YD1....

No need to be calm..we need to get stoked for the right reasons this year. Have every right to feel good, just look what is going on in the rest of the SEC and things in Athens look stable and heading in the right direction. Add the incoming talent with what is already here. The boys of the south will go boom on Saturdays once again. Boise State will pay attention in the dome for sure!

Go Dawgs.....

YD1.....will wait and see but I remember a few weeks ago I felt like the UGA program was at a "market bottom". In my business we use contrary opinions that are VERY reliable and in my prior post, I felt with all our criticism, bantering and beatings.......UGA was at its low and would "rally" from it.

So far so good on the "rally" but school's still out. Has to transition to the field and wins.

Proof is in the pudding,... just win baby
