NonDawg Braves Hot Take

The Braves do not actually need a win tonight. Plenty of teams in the history of baseball have won a WS with an 8-game regular season losing streak. Plus, Profar comes back at mid-season, and as another Venter has pointed out, getting him back will be like a early deadline acquisition that doesn't cost us anything in trade. Plus plus, they just bought a 34-acre office park next to the Battery. Think about how much revenue that is going to generate for the media corporation that owns the team. As fans we should be just excited about wins on the business side as we are about wins on the field.

Insider Note Derrion Reid

Login to view embedded media Alabama F Derion Reid is expected to enter the portal in the next 24-48 hours. Georgia is the early favorite to land Reid and has Reid’s parents in his corner very much pushing Georgia here. I know UGA offered a big six figure NIL deal to Reid out of HS and was set to commit to UGA before his decision got delayed. Reid is a GA native.

Update: Not only is Reid in the portal but the expectation is he lands at UGA sometime this week.

Observations from G Day - Our demise has been greatly exaggerated

Now that I live in Ky I feel more inclined to enjoy whatever UGA sporting event I can get to when I am in town. I suppose I took some of this for granted all these years living in and around Athens all those years.

It was a beautiful day, couldn't have picked a better day. I thought that the crowd was decent considering the masters was going on, we had a baseball game next and spring break being in effect. My biggest observation is that this team seems more chippy and aggressive, if I took away one thing it would be that. I think Gunner has a better arm than we give him credit for, he certainly seems to command the offense well and I think that he will only get better through the summer as he works his ass off getting down timing with the WR.

Pugs looked good, you can see the talent but you can also tell hes not quite there yet which is fine. I think he will make a fine QB when the time comes. I think he throws it too hard sometimes.

Branch adds an element that I dont think we have had for a while, hes also a competitor you can tell he has a high drive. I think we will enjoy watching him and his brother be a Dawg

I was pleasantly surprised with Bowens, kid looks way more confident and looks like a good back. Bo Walker seems like hes going to move the pile, kid is strong and moves really well. Frazier will have an elite season if we can get the OL sorted out and have enough threat at WR to open up the running game.

The defense seems aggressive and theres a lot of speed out there, I think they will be a really good group.

We need out punter to get healthy.

Some thoughts on G Day

This isn’t about football, but it’s about G Day and this weekend in Athens.

Sorry to be an old man yelling at a cloud, but it was kind of sad today? The upper deck was closed. Announced attendance was 35,000 which felt right.

But Athens was kind of dead this week. We went to Creature Comforts on Thursday and it was empty. Went out to dinner last night to one of the more popular places in town and it was half full. No real buzz downtown this morning or in the stadium.

This was probably the last G Day if I had to bet, and it’s just kind of sad what this weekend was. I don’t know what I expected, but I guess I expected more. I suppose the only constant is change.
