From Athens- Friday Thoughts

Scooby, little doubt that UGA will run the ball. That has been in UGA's DNA forever. The current group of coaches will expand on the effectiveness of a forward wall that will improve the size of the holes/gaps that very talented backs love.

Will definitely aid in the passing game.

We will see.

yankeedawg1, not only me chirping about "leadership", you have been there, and you also have had some things to say about the offensive line. Good reads.

Yes we will ground and pound the ball..fresh backs

Fresh OL... Quality depth for both makes for a long day

For the opposition defense..

Add what I call the what else factor.... Our OC isn't just

Going to forget the passing game....TE's. And screens

We have played against D's who have loaded the box

Since TG and before...now. We have the unknown working for us...

Spend some time in Athens .... Been here 13 plus years

Tell me there isn't anything different...I can start with 93k and add from there...

Playing between the hedges means something again.

Go Dawgs

Damn sure does . . . .

Playing between the Hedges means everything to Kirby Smart. Now coaching and once upon a time wearing the uniform.

Particularly like what Kirby had to say about his support group at UGA. Kirby Smart is not about "self", becoming more and more evident.

Copied the following from the Bill King article in the AJC.

King was the person responsible for getting the restroom issues out front.

UGA can build a 30+ million dollar IPF and cannot take care of the restrooms. Guess here is that McGarity got his feelings hurt, much the same way they were hurt when Pruitt called him and Mahogany Row out on the Indoor Practice Facility.

Lots of folks watching you McGarity. Having a hard time trying to figure out whether you or the deposed head coach should be rated #1 in the stubborn category. As Jay Unger wrote in the article below . . . . been going on for years. Any problems up above for you and the "upper class" and the restrooms?

A couple of readers have asked whether anything will be done before this season to improve the restrooms at Sanford Stadium and better amplify the Redcoat Band during games. One of them, Jay Unger, writes: A couple of questions about the game day experience. First, any hope in my lifetime (I’m 60) for the level 300 bathrooms? They have been abysmal for years — too small, single-door entry. You miss most of a quarter of play just trying to get into and out of one if the need arises. Secondly, any chance we can hear more from the Redcoat Band and less over-volumized canned music this season? Or at minimum, consider the demographics of those who pay the bills in selecting the playlist? Some hip-hop, OK, I get it. But a steady diet of it? Please throw us baby boomers a bone or two. How ’bout mix in a little country and classic rock as well! Other stadiums in the SEC and beyond do that. Why not us? “Baba O’Riley” (aka “out here in the fields, teenage wasteland”) is cool at the beginning but can only carry you so far. Getting back to the playing field and on a more upbeat note, thrilled about Kirby Smart and what he brings to UGA football. Go Dawgs!

I asked the UGA Athletic Association this week whether there was anything to report on either bathroom renovations or sound improvements and the response was … [crickets]. So I’m not too hopeful on either point for this fall.
