Bout to get replaced by Chris Cole next year. Instincts not good and he's slow.

Taking a look back on our portal activity from last year, what player could we have added that would have improved our team this year as far as wins and losses? I don't think even a player of Walter Nolen's caliber changes us from 10-2 to 11-1. Pretty universally on the vent last year nobody wanted Evan Stewart because of his perceived attitude. Does Isaiah Bond make us 11-1 or 12-0? I don't think so. (We did go out and get the third highest ranked receiver in the portal in Humphrey FWIW last year). College football is not about "winning the portal." It's about winning championships.
We can all get frustrated about our lack of portal activity right now but I would advise caution. Radi posted something a little while ago about the danger of recruiting a kid to a position, like quarterback, in the portal while simultaneously telling Gunner that he's our guy and that he can get the job done in the post season. We still have a championship to win and being duplicitous or appearing to be so will hurt our chances.
There is NOT a big fish other than the Washington state QB in the portal now. There isn't a Walter Nolen. Oatis is not even in that same conversation. This is like NFL free agency where the only players who are in the portal now are by in large players that their original team can live without, because if they couldn't live without them they wouldn't have hit the portal in the first place.
Yes, we need at least 2 receivers. Yes we need a safety, defensive tackle, and I would say right tackle (I would argue that it's our 2nd biggest need) but this is also only the first wave and players are still getting added every day. The better teams with better players are still in the playoffs and some of them will enter in the spring.

Looks like Teddy is doing well.

our offensive line has been playing. If we had been given Gunner plenty of time, then I get it, but given our poor oline play coupled with fairly conservative play calling, it made zero sense.

It turned out pretty well. Got 3 weeks to prepare Gunner plus 3 years in the program. I see him performing every bit as well as Jake did in his first start if not better.

Not sure the name for the style but I'd like to see UGA have a version of it even if it is like the all white uniform and never used

Couldn’t get Brock Bowers out of my thoughts. Definitely both men cut out of the same cloth. Just some early morning thoughts.

I know many are still venting frustrations. Have at it. It was a frustrating loss - they all are but that one particularly so.

But now I personally am over it (looking to the future) and wanted to give folks a chance to talk about some of the things they actually enjoyed from this season. Plenty of negative threads to go around so if you feel the need to be that way you've got plenty of other options.

My favorite plays from the 2024 season:

1. Dan Jackson's strip tackle against Haynes King in 4th Q of the GT game. Unbelievable play at an unbelievable time in the game.

2. Daylen Everett's strip sack against Quinn Ewers in the first Texas game. Something about a corner blitz from the blindside just gets me going. Whole world knows whats about to happen except one person, and then - BOOM.

3. Dillon Bell's long TD against Bama. I know what happened after but that play was freaking electric.

4. Brett Thorson's tackle. How can you not love that guy? Objectively a good play for UGA? No, probably not. But I still love having a punter who will bust his ass down the field to make a tackle when needed.

5. Malaki's pick against Clemson. Impactful? Probably not. Did he have the year he/we wanted? Definitely not. But that was elite athleticism on display and he's a guy we'll remember really fondly. Great player and great person.

How about you?

And give him a run/pass option. Hell we even dropped him back on 4th and 2 when they blitzed his ass. Just curious as to why this was not more in the game plan. I understand we take away one entire side of the field was just curious what the smart X/O guys think.

What does the process look like of starting a class action lawsuit for discriminatory practices? What are the upfront costs? What fees would I incur, or would the legal fees be paid to the firm as part of the settlement if it is successful? I am in a situation where thousands of others and myself have been discriminated against and denied access to a product/service we paid for with zero explanation.
