Announced that she is going to record "her" version of the Grateful Dead's classic "Workingman's Dead".

No no no no no no no,..........just focking NO!

cant find it now to link it but here are the cliffs

1. Done on Megan Kelley show by Cahaley, he is in partnership with Towery
2. They are conservative internal polling specialist
3. Polling done in mid January showing Biden down in all swing states , some near double digits was agenda driven with liberals trying to push Biden out of race
4. These same pollsters are showing Biden closing in the swing states trying to give Biden a bump and give him momentum
5. Their polls (Towry/ Cahaley) have been very consistent, showing Trump up 2% to 4% with little change but within the margin of error with 10% or so in undecideds
6. Kennedy helps Trump, in fact only way Trump wins is Kennedy pulling 2% or so in several of these swing states. They feel Kennedy will pull more than 2%, he has the financing and independents and several groups that voted for Biden want to vote for someone else.
7. Kennedy's pick of VP only strengthens his financing and recognition among liberals (seem Michigan and protest vote)
8. Biden and Trump both have potential bombshells that will hurt them (crime, economy, court trials, gaffs and related), Biden has slightly more risk than Trump. (Probably True but surprised me to hear it)
9. He did NOT mention the absentee voting in this conversation but has mentioned it before and its overall effect, they estimate it in the 2% range overall in a swing state.


To go further on item # 4, he says thats why you saw all the democrat strategist out there last week promoting the polling data, trying to build momentum. Perhaps nothing really outlandish but interesting information to me.......

Any update on how Chazz is looking? I figure he’s probably one of the leaders on the team and obviously our top guy at Edge.

Hoping he can build on the progress we saw last year out of him

He said he is not on scholarship, but as we suspected, he said NIL is paying for everything as far as his education, etc, is concerned

The Mahaffey brothers of Lagrange fame, Randy & Richie? With Clemson in Elite Eight, I was thinking about those two high school legends. Look forward to your thoughts and remembrances.

This was easily one of the best season

- First off, I will say that five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry committing to USC did catch me off guard a bit. I speak with the people around him a good bit and a flip was not on the agenda before heading out west this weekend. I have said many times I expect Terry to sign with the Bulldogs. After speaking with sources last night, I am removing the commitment but not removing him from the class prediction. Georgia was in contact several times yesterday with Terry, his family and others. I am also told the Bulldogs staff has a lot of confidence that they can get him back in the fold. Just hold on to that. Remember, it is March.

- I believe the Isaiah Gibson commitment to USC was more of a shocker. Georgia really liked where it stood for the Rivals250 edge defender. Right now, that is more of a concern for the staff because that was completely out of left field and the communication has not been as much as it has been with Terry. Again, it is March and there is a LONG ways to go there but that one did catch a lot of people off guard.

Punter Brett Thorson said he had to put in a waiver request to play for Georgia this year due to his prior classes in Melbourne, Australia. He was granted two more years. Per Thorson “Hopefully, they don’t kick me out.”

I can't read this CNBC paywall article, but the title implies eventual billionaire involvement...

The wrap is off his injured finger.
He actually caught the first pitch this afternoon.

Coming into his sophomore year in a loaded room, do we expect him to make a move?

The four-star QB was just spotted having breakfast with the coaches in Athens.

Will be down this weekend with the wife and need recommendations for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What do you guys recommend?

Also, recommendations for appropriate bug spray appreciated for sand gnats / no see ums.

I'll be disappointed.

March Madness will bring in over a billion dollars in revenue this year. The conference that gets the biggest share will get ... drumroll, please ... $34 million dollars.

So, the conference getting the most money ... not the team, the conference ... will get less than 3.4% of the total revenue.

Despite only five of its teams receiving 2024 March Madness bids, the ACC will earn roughly $34 million from its success in this year’s men’s basketball tournament, more than any other conference.

So, the teams that actually generate all this money will get $152 million. Less than 15% of the revenue. When the SEC teams each get $23 million for the CFP revenue, it's only a matter of time before the teams start telling the NCAA they better come up with a different way of funding D2 and D3 sports, because once they have to pay the players they will be looking for every source of revenue they can find.

More cars have been stolen from Hartsfield Jackson in the first four months of 2024 than the entire 2023 year. Over 100!

At least crime is down. Thank you FBI!

Wanted to thank everyone for your support.
Said he follows the team the best he can. Of course, he’s a big Charlie Condon fan, too.

“He’s himself, he’s a funny guy, it’s enjoyable, it makes the podcast fun. We kind of sit there and just talk, there's a script of ideas we go over, but there is no set script that we have to talk about.. We just talk really and you forget the cameras are there.”

On the Ray Guy Award …

“It’s not something I actively go out and look into. The season is five-six months away, definitely not thinking about that or individual accolades. I have to focus on spring ball. We have four more practices, a scrimmage, then G day. That's my focus, and I know in May I get to go back to Australia and work more on my punting.”

On coaching up the younger guys while also competing for playing time …

“We’re not really worried about a depth chart right now. We’re all just trying to be the best that we can be as a group and work on communicating with each other. We’re all trying to learn right now, and that is what the spring is for.”

On how it feels going into his second spring here …

“I would say I’m more comfortable. I have a full understanding of the playbook whether it's schemes, runs, different types of blocks, and just situational football. Overall I would just say I'm more comfortable with the whole scheme.”

On any advice to the new receivers that just came in through the portal…

“Honestly those three guys are coming along great with the playbook. As far as a team runs and physicality goes, they're really bought in. I would honestly just tell them to enjoy it. Actually enjoy it whether it's the struggle or the good times or the bad times.”

I hate referencing another online publication when we have the best right here. But, those of you with an account with The Athletic can read a fantastic new article by Seth re: Carson Beck. Its days like these when I really miss Senator Blutarsky’s synopsis of articles.
