The #1 and #2 basketball teams are from the SEC.
Six of the Top 10 are from the SEC.
Nine, soon to be Ten... possibly eleven... teams in the Top 25.
16 of 16 teams with a shot of making the NCAA tournament.

Has the entire SEC followed Auburn's lead and become a basketball conference????

Well, I've finished my ten rounds of radiation.
I will continue my chemo for several more sessions.

Thanks for your prayers.

Anybody else having issues with driver side trim falling off. Been two months and dealer still looking like a deer in headlights….

Some cohorts of mine about to hit the bayou with this old Cajun guide who hooked us up last time we were here.
Prepare for plenty of pics of trophy redfish and speckled trout 😀
Happy New Year

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Vent

Subscribers’ emotions were fried, each emotionally spent.

The playoffs were nigh, the quarterfinals all set

But Georgia fans everywhere still had plenty to vet



The venters were buzzing, this would be no cakewalk

Could Kirby pull it off, or was it simply all talk?

And Radi in his slippers and Dash in his sweats,

Wondered what the hell now, why do they always just fret?



So of course on the board we heard such a pinging,

Folks freaking out, the Dawgvent was singing.

So, fumbling for my phone, I hit the On Key

Clicked on the bookmark, and what did I see?



The number of posts on the still blinking screen

Something sure was amiss, what does this possibly mean?

When what to my bloodshot eyes do appear

What’s the source of this anger? Ah, now it’s perfectly clear



They did it again, Venters said with much snark;

ESPN picked the Irish, do they think it’s a lark?

More rabid than pitbulls, the names they all came,

Venters cursed and they shouted, they screamed oh for shame.



It was Donut, it was Franklin, kckd and Savannah;

Valrico, easy chair, Bill Zane, yes they all went bananas

To the top the top of the Vent, to the top of the board

Go F ESPN, who needs that unspeakable hoard?



As time passed, after the diatribe quelled;

Venters gained their composure, would it hold? Time would tell

So, a press conference was scheduled, what words would be true?

Would Venters get answers, or is Georgia totally screwed?



And then in a moment, he came stomping through the door,

Crumbled up his papers and tossed them on the floor.

As I gathered myself, I asked for the mic,

Kirby Smart’s eyes were flaring, now this was a sight.



He was a dressed in a sweatshirt, a new Nike brand

But this was no time for sitting, he wanted to stand

The notes he prepared, were still down the ground;

No prepared statement today, it was time to get down



His hair appeared ruffled, unshaven, unkempt

Kirby was pissed and it showed, he was ready to vent.

He chose his words carefully, but he had something to say;

“Dawgs lose to the Irish? ESPN, you will pay!



A bottle of coke stood alone on his right

But Coach did not drink it, not on this chilly night

Instead, a wry smile and a nod of his head

Soon let the room now, they had nothing to dread



He spoke no more words, just turned away with a jerk;

Muttered “I’ll show those M-foulkers, especially Kirk”

So, stomping away, out the door he did go

He’s got coaching to do, Kirby’s done with that show



So, pack your bags for New Orleans, that city of Sin

Kirby yelled back “We’ve beat them three times and we’ll do it again!”

But I heard him exclaim as he strode out of sight

“Screw the Irish, they’re finished! Dawgs will roll them all night!”

I'm in Knoxville for some work meetings and would be interested in going to the basketball game tonight if anyone has an extra ticket in the Dawgs section.

Go Dawgs Sic'Em!!!

Just wait till SMU really gets roll'n!! Thus far they've just dipped their toes into NIL, I previsioned that Tejas and TAMU would change the landscape of college football a la NIL and they haven't disappointed. (Horns gave every OL who signed two years ago $50K in appreciation.) Now comes SMU. perhaps the greatest combination of former cheaters, opportunist alumni, Dallas Petroleum Club regulars, and untold wealth the NCAA has ever witnessed. When SMU's billionaires get serious and whisper they want a championship football team EVRYONE (UGA too) will be sucking hind tit. The poor ACC definitely has zero chance. Greg Byrne has seen the light and he knows the train that SMU's headlight is attached to is coming right down the tracks leading to Tusky. He KNOWS Bammer doesn't have an economic chance and posted his pathetic groveling akin to an all hands on deck distress call in desperation. Water is lapping at the gunnels and Byrne can’t bail enough. Even 'Barn has Mr. Yellawood and the heirs to Vulcan materials as backers. Apparently Ol Piss has money not just from the Delta but natural gas wells. Who does Bammer have? Let's put it this way: Their biggest radio sponsor on game days is the "Manufactured Home Makers Association." (I shat you not.) Right there's the answer to my question. I'll miss Bammer ... a little bit. Truly.

PS - Okie has plenty of oil wealth, too, and it's only a matter of time before they tire of losing and join the party.

On a night when we didn't shoot it well and had fifteen turnovers we won by double digits vs #6 team in the country. UK scored 106 Saturday vs a very good team in UF. We held them 40 points under that total. I don't know how many and ones we had off of offensive boards, but it was several and they were all crucial. Asa was superb on the glass. Very few open looks for the cats all night and we did it without a lot of fouls.

If Leffew is anywhere near his norm we win by twenty. He and Blue missed a bunch of absolutely wide open 3s. Still have a lot of work to do on our offense, but the ball movement was better tonight. Blue had his best game in a while, He and Silas are two the best rebounding guards around. Tyrin is in a bit of slump lately, but our depth at guard allows for a couple guys to be off a game of two. DeShayne needs to clean it up some as he has been taking poor shots and turning it over.

You should win most games you shoot 38 freethrows We got a game we really needed to get by using our strengths.

Quick post today....

Hoop Dawgs win!! Both of them! I was super impressed reading the board about how packed the Steg was for the men's game and the ticket "give back"....absolutely great idea and I'm reading the students loved it!

Go have a great Sunday fam!

Praying for all those on the LDGMDNOPL and the GMDN gang too 🙏🏻

Happy Birthday/Anniversary if you're celebrating today 🥳 🎉

Love you guys and gals, MEAN IT!!

Go Dawgs ♥️

Are they ready to man the F up and start bullying D Lines?

I’m talking 4th qrtr of NATTY vs. Bama and just running downhill?

Time to impose our will. Can they do it?

Is this correct?

Looks like the Lions are bringing back Teddy - straight from high school coaching.


With a league full of bad quarterbacks, Fromm has done a masterful job finding a spot on rosters.. will be interesting if this is it for him.

Obviously first of all we need to get back in the W column.

Second, given how highly road games are valued, it’s the exact time of game that really hurts to lose.

The way things are going, it’s looking like 8-10 will lock us in to the tournament. We need to get 6 more wins somewhere

Here are our best chances IMO:

@ARK
vs SC
vs LSU
vs Moo St
vs Mizzou
@ Texas
@ SC
vs Vandy

Of course, there are other games that we COULD win, and we probably will steal 1 or 2, but I think we need to go 5-3 or better in the games above.
