Find it interesting reading a lot of the chatter concerning players choices to play football at different universities and their reasoning. Some FANS seem to have a problem when this or that person chooses to play somewhere other than Georgia.
From where I sit that is not a major problem. Football minds said the recent success of Smart and Company would limit many young men arriving in Athens. What finally happened in Athens was the competition factor had accelerated, that had not been the case for too long. I have little doubt that this group of coaches will continue to fulfill the wishes of not only the FAN base but gather those players that understand “competition” for playing time is real in the Classic City.
Presently we have a low number of recruits for the 2019 Class. Bet this, that will not last long. Georgia is rated among the top ten or five according to the rating services that I frequent. Will be interesting to see where the services end up when 2019 recruiting is over.
Like what I see, not too much to be disappointed about concerning Georgia Football. Could not make that statement a few short years back.
Little doubt that the University of Georgia being located in Athens is primarily the reason for the success of the City yankeedawg1. That is a good thing.

Georgia 2017 Football Team took a huge step forward with their “many” accomplishments. Coming back in the second meeting with Auburn in Atlanta, says a lot to me, not only our players but our coaches reversing the way we showed up for the second meeting.
Many in the press saying the Rose Bowl game was the best game of the 2017 Season. Freshman quarterback going toe to toe with what turned out to be the #1 player selection by the NFL. Leadership at the level Fromm gave/produced in 2017 still impresses me.
Still harbor some disappointment with some of the rulings by the officiating group in the National Championship Game. Hard to say whether or not UGA will return to the same “high level” exhibited in 2017.
Often mentioned on this board that a lack of player talent has never truly been a deciding factor when it comes to wins and losses. Those disappointing endings over the years are some of the reasons that other universities always seemed to get home grown talent to play out of state.
I have mentioned before and still believe that 2019 is a critical recruiting year if we expect to continue or come close to duplicating or bettering the results achieved in 2017.
Having a lot of fun getting under gator skins down my way. I am also aware that things are changing in Gainesville, Florida. Cannot think of a better group of coaches to do their job in Athens, allowing me to needle some down my way. There was a long spell years past that were a bit touchy for UGA folks in the Sunshine State.
Coach’em Up . . . .
