He has been cursed with extreme talent. This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

The Hawaii Bowl?

Early on Christmas Eve morning - slightly before daylight - my wife was driving near Cartersville to take care of an errand. She noticed a dog - that didn’t look well - walking down the road. She slowed and eventually pulled over. The dog came up to the car as if needing help. About the same time another car stopped, which coincidentally was driven by a vet tech from where we take our dogs. The vet tech was heading into work. It was apparent that the dog was under nourished and had a few injuries.



It was determined that the vet tech would take the dog with her for care at the veterinary clinic. Being Christmas Eve - she acknowledged that it was going to be difficult to find someone to foster the dog over the holidays. My wife immediately offered to take in the dog after an examination and care.



The dog was given a bath, shots, and medication. He has some injuries, but nothing substantial and nothing that can’t be overcome. A few hours later, they called my wife asking for us to please care for the dog until at least next week - possibly longer.



It was certainly an unexpected turn of events on Christmas Eve. The dog has the kindest disposition and seems so genuinely happy to be in a warm home with a caring family - especially by my teenage daughter.



The vet confirmed that he isn’t microchipped and they posted his information on a lost pets of Bartow county website.



Unless the original owner is identified, I expect he’ll be ours. For now - we named him GUNNER. GO DAWGS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Mike MacDonald vs Thomas Brown

Why do coaches do better once they leave the Falcons?

a tough, hard-fought game, but not a runaway game. We have to remember that we are playing our backup quarterback who has very little experience. We automatically assume that he will play a good game, when in reality, he might struggle a bit. I think KS and CMB will scale back our offense with Gunner to help ensure that his mistakes are minimal. I think we’ll see more quarterback runs with Gunner. If Notre Dame plays a good game and Gunner struggles with interceptions, etc, not to mention the possibility of an injury, we could very well lose this game. Hoping for the best and a UGA victory. Go Dawgs! Your thoughts?

Both pretty special players. Bowl season is worth the watch when the good players play

I doubt it, but they did score 14 points in the first half against GT while Mike Bobo with a stable of elite recruits scored zero points at home against the same defense. Hopefully Bobo turns a corner against Notre Dame and unleashes a well constructed game plan.

Is the Sugar and Rose will be the two better quarterfinals games which I do agree.. I also think Boise will give Penn state all they can handle tonight. I think Penn state wins but I don’t think it’ll be a blowout. Boise played a great game in Eugene against Oregon and not even the Ducks slowed down Jeanty.

Since people talked and re-talked about it for weeks, let's bring it up again the morning after the game.

There was a HUGE number of folks on this site that somehow had convinced themselves that the Dawgs were going to play better now that Gunner Stockton was QB because the team liked him more. I said it after the SECC that backup QBs often succeed when they come into the middle of the game and can cause a spark for that game. However, it doesn't generally continue after that because, well, they're the backup for a reason. (and Gunner played pretty well last night)

Other things that stand out to me...

• We had 1 TFL. That's absurd.
• We held Leonard to 90 passing yards.
• We still can't catch the ball.

Finally, Mike Bobo orchestrated an offense that finished 120th in the nation in 1st quarter scoring. In our last 3 games, we averaged 2 points in the 1st quarter. We also finished 99th in the nation in 1st half scoring on the season.

Though it seems like a distant memory, I recall when Beck was hailed as a model of “what college football should be about” when he returned to UGA after riding the pines for two years behind Stetson. His willingness to “wait his turn” was widely applauded – and not just by the UGA fanbase in the 2023 season. He was quoted as “wanting to win my own championship” (as QB1).

That seems like lightyears ago, with the advancement of NIL/portal conditions at the speed of sound. Transferring is almost expected (by some) to advance in their careers and bank accounts. ¾ of playoff semifinalists had transfer QB1s. I don’t fault Beck entirely. We don’t know what he was being told by staff, personal and NFL advisors, and suitors from other programs. I wish him well as he heals physically and moves on in his career, though I would have preferred he return to UGA if his future included one more healthy year under center. His college football career will be an interesting case study, with so many different factors affecting his decision-making and playing time.

We are also losing 41-15 to Ohio State right now. I mean, hell, we might as well not show up to the natty if it’s against them according to some of you guys.

We are talented enough to play with anyone

Go Dawgs
