When Somebody Tells You Who They Are ...

Believe them.

There's a lot of pearl clutching and teeth gnashing over two players (Mendoza and Key) who chose to make what amounts to lateral moves.

It is clear to me that neither of them wanted to come compete for the chance to be elite, they want guarantees, and made lateral moves to get them.

Playing for Kirby Smart at UGA is a privilege. Pressure is a privilege. Playing on the biggest stage in college football is a privilege. Putting great practice and game film on tape for the NFL is a privilege. Winning championships and the glory is the payoff.

Going to Indiana and Nebraska isn't competing and compared to succeeding at UGA, ain't a privilege. It is settling. It is chasing mediocrity instead of excellence.

If a player doesn't believe in himself enough to go to the Alpha program in college football and compete to be the Alpha Dawg at his position, he won't believe in himself and his teammates when he's down 2 TD's to Ohio State in the 4th quarter, down 3 TD's in Tuscaloosa, down 2 TD's to Tech, or down to Texas in the SECCG w/o their starting QB.

Guys like that get you beat, and turn your program into Nebraska or Indiana. I'll take the heart and grit of Arian Smith and Gunner Stockton over either one of them every single time.

Championship heart and meddle always beats settling for mediocrity.

When somebody tells you who they are, believe them.

As Erk used to say, FIDO.

Abson may have been the MVP…

For this game, In his 5-6 minutes he was huge. It looks like he doesn’t even play hard but man was he a factor. I don’t think he got the assist to Lefew but a great pass led to a bucket, then gets a block, then hits a little runner, knocks down a couple of FTs. Then Somto came back and finished them off. We’ve never had this type of depth in the paint.

The more I watch the replay the more I feel sorry for Parker Jones and the more I get

pissed with that little bitch of an official. That should have been a warning at most. It would have been different if he crashed into him and went down this was a nothing burger. What is this officials name? I need to do some research. Is his last name Holtz, Parseghisn or Rockne by chance?

Format makes champions

If this year were still a four-team playoff, it would have been Oregon, Georgia, Penn State, and Notre Dame.

If it were the BCS, it would have been Oregon vs Georgia.

In either case, Ohio State wouldn't have been part of it. Buckeye fans would have been stewing on that Michigan loss to the end of time, and Ryan Day would be perceived very differently.

Format makes all the difference.

LOOK: Former Georgia Transfer Makes Progam History

Despite never really finding his footing in a Georgia uniform, Jackson Meeks experienced success in his senior season at Syracuse. Meeks became the first Orange receiver to record a 1,000-yard season since 2019. Meeks reached the milestone during Syracuse's 52-35 Holiday Bowl win over Washington State, where he totaled 110 yards on five receptions.

Times like these give me hope for our collective and booster approach. I know a lot won’t agree and hate to contribute, but I think now is the best time to show our support through donations and keep the foot on the gas, even if the contribution is a small one. I think it sends a message to Kirby and co that we appreciate their aggressiveness. Yes, I know the booster money is what moves the needle to get a lot of these players, but I truly believe that our volume of fans/supporters can still make a difference at the grassroots level

Hopefully we can keep up the momentum!

I know everyone’s budget and finances are different, so please take it easy on me lol

First met Sonny Smart, I guess it was 1988…

I was a sports writer with the Valdosta Daily times. Valdosta played at Bainbridge.
Sonny let me use his office to send to send my story.
Funny the things you remember….
Prayers up to the entire Smart family.
PS - I don’t know how Kirby was able to coach the Sugar Bowl knowing that all was going on with his dad at the time of the game.
