Real good read yankeedawg1.
I am going to the VA today, will get a chance I hope to see Greg. Lots of "stuff" going on in the Veterans Administration that needs special attention. Leave that alone for now, reminds me of too many miscues in Athens over a period of time. Sad day for many Veterans feeling hopeless, and for good reason . . . . change is also needed in "higher places".
yd1, it is of great interest to me as to who will play at what position. So much talent. Regardless of what is being said in the press, the change in coaches will take some "figuring out" before Atlanta. Kirby Smart alluded to that in Hoover, Alabama.
Little doubt that Smart and Pruitt have some of the same tendencies, but there are others on the coaching staff that are in Athens because "they" have a certain way to coach. Pretty simple actually, that is why Coach Smart hired them. All of the new folks are not from Tuscaloosa.
You and I are both long enough in the tooth yd1 to understand that some folks find it impossible to let "things go". Find myself in that bracket at times.
College football is a "business". Those that coach college football are also in the "business world". One needs only to look at the salaries of those that coach and some that draw down because they are Athletic Directors.
Facilities on most campuses are just short of the comforts of the Taj Mahal.
Young men and women are getting the opportunity of their lives. They work hard, but that is part of the opportunity. Those that don't recognize the opportunity often find themselves on the corner or under bridges. Leads me to this . . . . like reading what you had to say about Jonathan Ledbetter. Turning point in his life. He does not need to get strike three. Kirby Smart will teach him and lead him in the right direction. Kirby's nature.
You said and I am simply agreeing with you.
JL is a young man with a problem… we are not tossing him overboard…
What he needs is intensive help and love…. To work his way away from his demon…. You can say it’s a life changing decision….
The football stuff will work it’s self out…. JL is at a crossroad in his life.. Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his support group for success…..
Thanks again for the BPS.

If you haven't watched the video/interview that Sentell did with Jaden, hope you will go to the 55:00 minute mark and listen to what a heavily recruited young man had to say about "recruiting".
Not a bunch of "stuff" coming from the outside, Jaden tells it just as he sees it, and is still going through those that want him to flip.
A solid young "pup" that is going to not only make "Mom and Family" proud, same will go for those of us that have watched, donated and "tried" to be a part of the University of Georgia.
One other comment . . . . Jaden Hunter refers to the "future" of UGA Football in the interview. That is music to my ears. Not about "me", all about "we".
Again, nice piece of work Jeff Sentell.
55:00 minute mark on the video.

Media "giants" have made Smart and Company's day. Coaches have to be saying to those that "think they know", this . . . . Thank You!
Kirby loves hearing the "stuff" about the "Checkerboards" being the best in the East side of the SEC. Also likes hearing those that truly do not have a clue rating Florida above Georgia.
Smart and Company first off have talented players. Secondly, Smart and Company are being coached for the first time in many years by a group of coaches that have "direction". Might be the first time "ever" there was a "complete" group of coaches in Athens. That goes back, way back many years.
We have three (3) quarterbacks that can line up and play in the SEC. To what degree, not yet decided. Reason? The coaching staff at UGA has not had 'STABILITY' forever.
This is for the "Checkerboards" . . . . Check your latest recruiting stats. Meaning, past the 2016/17 Season. Media not saying much, but . . . . Butch Jones "has" to make a run this season. 2017 on, who the hell knows, maybe Lane Kiffin returns . . . . I love saying that. Think UGA had problems with coaching, check out the dismal showing since Butch Jones took over for you know who.
I remember this . . . . they still have our once upon a time "defensive coordinator" still coaching in Knoxville. Fired by Mark Richt . . . . WOW! Promoted to the defensive coordinator's position by Mark Richt . . . . think about that . . . . I have. Any wonder the "bleeding hearts" have become "silent"?
Yes, Mark Richt is a 'GOOD MAN'.
Want to discuss SEC Football? Will do that if you "bleeding hearts" can come out of "hiding". Yes, hiding. Not too many of you left to defend you stance some years back. Check the records after 2006/2007 until the dismissal. Not a pretty picture.
Said a long time back, some of us took a serious amount of "stuff" from the "bleeding hearts", who once upon a time were happy with the direction UGA was on, more than 8/9 wins a year. Mark Richt did not know how to win against "serious competition". Mark Richt was and is a offensive coordinator. Soon enough the "U" will come to understand that Mark Richt is more about "fluff" than playing against "real competition".
Right now the "U" is calling for folks that played many years ago to come in and help Richt and his group move Miami forward. A very good friend of mine that is a "media person" has doubts at this point.
Black Jerseys have not and will not beat "any" top notch football team. Players can be involved with "certain things", but HEAD COACHES have to understand what it takes to win. It is not "Black Jerseys", especially when lining up against teams like Alabama.
Four (4) million eh Mark . . . . ? Hired those that you are comfortable with in the "new job". Some things never change. Pink slip again?
Kirby Smart's first year in Athens as head coach. Mark Richt's first year in Miami as head coach . . . . check the 2017, not the 2016 recruits out . . . . is there not a story there?
Will not apologize for this reason for the above. I read "everything" on many different sites, still see an occasional read that holds on to the Mark Richt 15 years in Athens, and the "overall record". Take some time and check out 2006/7 years forward.
It was time for Mark Richt to leave. Thank you goes out to the men that wore the pads in Athens that said enough is enough. Yes, there was one that did not agree . . . . Francis.
Francis put some "coin" up to have his name displayed on the IPF . . . . Jeremy Pruitt opened his mouth and moved the IPF forward. Pruitt's words have FANS involved in "our team".
By the way Greg McGarity . . . . pissers fixed?
About fifty (50) or so days left, what say you McGarity/Mahogany Row? Are we allowed to move up and use your pissers? Just a thought. Not all of the FANS make over one half million a year. Some of you, much more than that. ROLL CALL . . . .

Have been holding off on this post . . . . bothers me.
Media came out "fast and hard" saying this game was sold out. Quicker than any opening day game in 2016.
This is the kind of "BS" that "filters" through the "truth".
This is the kind of "stuff" that FANS have been led to believe is the "truth".
Simple question . . . .
Do those in charge believe that "we, FANS" are "simple simons".
If you read Dawgs.com, there will always be a "gut check". Those that played the game understand "gut check".
Real simple conclusion to this . . . . they lied.
If we (FANS) want to be led, speak for yourself. I choose not to be led.
Press is now going to put the pressure on "Kirby". Bet this, "Kirby" has broad shoulders.
Still waiting on a couple of folks that have posted on Dawgs.com for a long time that warned us that releasing Mark Richt would "cost our program". You know who you are, many of us know who you are.
Silence is "Golden".
