Another Dumbutt... I hope I can say that.

Silent on arrival: LA Mayor Karen Bass refuses to answer questions for her absence as wildfires ravage city

Not trying to be debbie downer on snow day but why are seat backs still out in Sanford, especially in this weather?

The seat backs are already old and crummy. They barely provide any support as they are, and many of them are torn and need to be replaced. In fact, all of them do, to be honest. I believe these have been the same seat backs since the mid-2000s (if I’m wrong, please feel free to correct me). There was talk last year about replacing them with the mesh ones that other schools have adopted, which look much nicer and provide decent back support. Am I missing something as to why the university still uses these old and weathered seat backs?

Why all the angst for 2025?

There seems to be a popular sentiment that 2025 will be a rebuilding year, and I quite frankly don't get it. Sure, we're losing some top contributors (like any other year) and most want a coach or two (or three) gone, but I do not ever see a rebuilding year happening with Kirby in charge. I think many are incorrectly comparing what the 2025 team will look like to the best teams we've fielded under Kirby. I think we should be looking at how we stack up relative to other teams. As has been discussed ad nauseam, NIL and the portal have changed everything, so we may never be as deep as the '21 team. That said, who should we fear next season?

SEC: Texas will probably be the favorite with what they have coming back, but are we sure they'll be head and shoulders above us? I'm not. Arch will most likely be outstanding, but to this point he has put up great stats against the likes of Mississippi St., ULM, and UTSA. So he still has some proving to do. Bama, Ole Miss, Tennessee, LSU, A&M, and others have as many roster questions as we do.

Nationally, who should we fear? OSU and Oregon will both have new QBs and will be losing a lot defensively. Notre Dame may become a mainstay under Freeman, but they are nothing to fear from a roster perspective. Clemson may be a team to be reckoned with since Klubnik is returning, but they are far from scary. There are sure to be teams that come out of nowhere, but I just don't think UGA should be looked at as anything but a national title contender for years to come.

As we all know, there are lots of factors that go into winning. Notre Dame did not out-talent us last week, but they outplayed and out-coached us. Sometimes it's just about having the right mix of health, execution, coaching, and luck. I really believe we'll be right in the mix next year.

That is all. Carry on.

Regarding NIL's influence on coaching decisions

What's the consensus on how NIL is setup and spent? If a team has a QB who is getting $3,000,000 in compensation, but is struggling during the season, what all does the coach have to consider when contemplating a change at the position. Does he run the risk of losing future NIL support by benching the guy? Or, is that not a consideration he needs to think about. Serious opinions only...lol. No smart asses, please.

Beck..... made me think

Somebody go hug and thank D.J. Shockley for/ from all of us. That kind of loyalty is what made this game so special and why I loved it with so much of a passion. It felt like when we watched our players on tv or from the stands you could see the same passion burning in their eyes that burned inside of all of us. All things change and nothing is forever... except for maybe one thing GO DAWGS!


Edit:
I miss and appreciate the environment from times gone by versus today's college football environment of NIL / Transfer Portal.
