From Athens-Friday Thoughts 3-5-19

Good Morning All,

April in the books.... another quite week for the football team not appearing on the police blotter...a very good thing..

Chatter about some outstanding recruits coming to visit the Classic City.... much talk between recruits about how they

Feel about our program and coaching staff...all good stuff....

Older pups planning workouts after finials....haven’t heard that there is anyone not staying on campus for the summer workouts..

Business of taking care of business..... all part of the process...

Derby Saturday..... who do you like Buc.... I am still sitting on the fence

Many options about naming the playing field at Sanford for Vince Dooley

To me it’s Sanford Stadium....and the Hedges....

Heading out for a two week road trip....needing a seafood fix before school lets out and heat sets in

BPS.... will return then.... will keep ears and eyes open....

Pause and give thanks ...Blessed...

Have a great weekend and a safe week.....

As always “Go Dawgs “

Sitting on the fence also yankeedawg1. This will be a good derby for a relative unknown.

All of us have opinions about name changing. With you on Sanford Stadium, will always be that for me.
Lots of chatter nationally about top coaches and programs. Higher rankings basically awarded to those that have won National Championships. Top of the ladder at this point . . . . Alabama, Clemson pick and choose ones choice(s) after that. Want to be penciled in on that list . . . . Win National Championships or consistently reach the Final Four, which I expect to see Final "something else" in the not too distant future.

Football has risen to such a lofty level there is a mad scramble for everyone to be a part of the top tier. That comes from coaches that do their job, called program building. Alabama and Clemson have done just that. Smart and Company are trying, showing yearly improvement. 2019 as has been discussed here will tell not just Georgia FANS how far we have grown, it will be viewed nation wide. Yes, another team from below the Mason/Dixon Line, for too long that was not a part of the NATIONAL VIEW. Truthfully . . . . Coach Nick Saban changed that "process". Coach Bear Bryant changed the view of Southern College Football for a span of time. However, it took Saban to totally unlock the MEDIA DOORS to SEC FOOTBALL and the depth of the SEC.

Sanford Stadium, the field that Erk Russell introduced UGA FANS to the term JUNKYARD DAWGS and it became known to all what Georgia Football was and is "again" about. Kirby Smart understands and has the support of those that like to reflect on the truth of history.

In South Florida yd1, tomorrow participating in a Seafood Boil for a large group of folks, lots of football talk and great seafood also watching the Derby. Have a great "fill up" on the seafood of your choice . . . .

Go Junkyard Dawgs . . . . Coach Them Up!!

Safe travels Buc..... actually nice to have some Dawg Talk to

share with your Gator friends.... enjoy your boil and the derby..

Yes some glory will come to an unknown.... horse..

Good chance it will be a muddier.... heavy rain possible....

Go Dawgs...

Hi YD1 and Buc, everybody, Country House is my pick at 30 to 1

GO DAWGS! GATA

Growl...wishing you well with your pick...

Those odds would buy many goodies to grill

Stay well Chief.....

Go Dawgs
