Old Take Bobo will be outstanding...

Bobo was the best thing we had going in the Richt years, and held the program together through the end of his time here despite Pruitt's best efforts to undermine everything.

I think what you see with a lot of criticism directed at staff and even players during the second half of Richt's time at UGA is collateral frustration. Our fan base was just generally cranky and impatient...and justifiably so, really. But a lot of really good, effective people took unfair flack.

Bobo fits Kirby perfectly. He's a hard ass, old school coach, but balances that style with fantastic connection with his players. He values toughness above all else.

And this isn't to discount Bobo's abilities whatsoever, but we are B2B NC because of Kirby Smart. With our talent and our culture being led by Kirby, we are going to be a NC contender every year regardless.

Dunks

As I watched Somto ferociously slam dunk on a poor Buffalo Bull's head last night, I became curious about how many dunks we've made this year compared to previous years.
2021-22: 54 made dunks
2022-23: 52 made dunks
2023-24: 82 made dunks
2024-25: 72 made dunks through 11 games. That puts us on pace to have nearly 200 dunks by the last game of the regular season.

Not that dunks is a stat that matters all that much, but I think it is a microcosm of the improvement of this roster over years past. Where do dunks come from? Fast breaks, forcing live ball turnovers, getting in the paint, offensive rebounds, lobs, and, generally speaking, just having big, athletic players.

The past few years we have been undersized, not very athletic, not great on the boards, and not very disruptive on defense. This years team is a total 180 from those trends and is both a breath of fresh air and a testament to the improvement in roster construction.
