Adam is giving Georgia too much credit. Don't get me wrong... the talent is certainly there. Is it Bobo? Maybe. Beck is missing wide open throws (read as "bailed out again by Bowers' one-handed catches"). Is it lack of leadership in the locker room? Possibly?? The Dawgs need to get it sorted out, beginning with Kentucky. I would have much preferred Georgia to drop a couple of notches in the rankings.

The fact that YOU haven't heard of him is only an indictment of you... not him. Dan Jackson plays with more heart than your entire Vol defense combined.

Yes, please. Keep as much of this stuff coming as possible.

Hope we see some significant incremental improvement. No more baby steps. let's get it in gear, fellas.

Connor... you said "There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging those concerns..." Is someone telling you is it wrong to acknowledge those concerns??? Where does this come from. That's called fanning the flames that YOU just lit. In fairness, I know of NO Georgia fans who aren't concerned by the slow starts three games in a row. It is also true that we have a new OC and a new QB, and the idea that there wouldn't be a lot of rough edges is really more about your unrealistic expectations. The Dawgs have work to do. At this point, they just have to be better than every team the play the next week. They are 3-0. Win the east and put yourself in position to have a chance. That is all that matters.

With everything else going on in that game... THIS is what Vol fans were worried about? The world isn't against you. The refs aren't against you. That isn't the problem you need to fix.

This kid looks good.

Saban thrives in this environment. This is how he rallies his team. Is he losing a step? Too soon to say. But Bama is still the best recruiting team over the last 3 years (which are the only years that matter). There is a lot of talent there. Counting them out seems just silly. Georgia has played a couple of (*yawn) scrimmage games. Nothing in college football starts to sort itself out until about week 6.

I swear I had this thought cross my mind yesterday as Colorado was whipping the huskers.

Saban deserves all the credit in the world. Trying to take that away from him just looks small. That said... it is also not fair to claim that Kirby has just a copy of Alabama. Clearly, the two teams are similar... but Kirby has been able to implement a younger, more inclusive mindset and it shows. He has implemented things that we dont see on the field... but see in the mindset. Kirby was a factor at Bama... just read old posts from Bama fans when Kirby was there. He was not Saban's "yes man." I think both coaches deserve all the credit in the world. Oh.... and every coach in history has copied bits and pieces from every other coach.

I am still surprised by the outcome, and maybe we should all give Texas a little more credit. They just went into Tuscaloosa and beat Bama. Whatever anyone may think about the Saban dynasty, that is an enormous accomplishment and it doesn't happen often. Texas is excited to join the SEC... great. But before we embrace any "Texas is back" talk... let's see them perform at that level for an entire season. CFB has snatched up that bait a few too many times.

If we can sneak past UT Martin, we might have a chance.

Let's go, Gators. I look at these the same as I do bowl games. Go win one for the SEC, boys!

Not sure I really care about what so-called pundits and analysts have to say. That is doubly true when it comes to pre-season predictions. But I know the Sports Center crew did Kirby a favor. Is Georgia just feeling disrespected or is it ACTUALLY BEING disrespected. Hard to say. Saban has earned it at Bama... but it is hard to deny there is a bias in favor of some teams (looking at you OSC, USC and ND).

Man... this is terrible news, not to mention a waste. This kid just seems like he can never keep it together. The problem with life is that you never know which chance is your last chance. I hope he gets another.

This is more about Matt trying to establish himself as a bold, no-nonsense maverick. It was more about him that Georgia. The Dawgs may not three-peat... which anyone with an incorrect understanding of statistics will quickly point out (looking at you, Matt). They are not trying to three-peat. They don't have to replay those games. They are trying to one-peat (*forgive the license). And head-to-head, they will likely be favorites against any team in the country. Georgia needs to get into the playoffs...period...end of sentence. There are at least a couple of ways to do that, with both being achievable. After that, they will have a significant puncher's chance to win two games. TWO games, Matt. Could they lose along the way? You bet. I haven't heard anyone say they cant.

Agreed. Click bait. (I guess that makes us the suckers?) Just watched his press conference. Van Pran is incredibly well-spoken. Kid it going to have a great career in the NFL... and then in broadcasting.

Advice from one Florida-born Bulldog to another. Let's go, Carson!

The question is whether he will be put under enough pressure the first 2/3 of the season for him to be ready by the SEC championship and the playoffs. If nothing else, Beck seems cool and calm... one of those guys that never gets flustered.

Kentucky-Florida is a game I now circle on my calendar every year. It has some juice!

Man, I hate this. And it makes it worse to think of how excited he and his family must have been to see him in a Gator uniform playing in the SEC. Just terrible.

How Brock can further develop: 1. Develop rocket thrusters in his feet 2. Install the 6th infinity stone in his shoulder pads 3. Turn green and gain 500lbs It is hard to imagine this kid being even more impactful on the field. You can judge a player's impact by how happy opponents will be to see him go to the NFL.

I mentioned in the other article, I hope we can keep Vandagriff. He's a great kid and an amazing talent. He'll see a lot of game reps this year. Hoping it's back-to-back-to-Beck-to-back.

Keep an eye on Brock. Hoping he doesn't start eyeing the portal. Kid is a class act and an amazing talent. Congrats, Carson. Hopefully it is back-to-back-to-Beck-to-back.

Did someone remind him that Alabama did not make the playoffs last year and TCU did? What is he talking about? The REAL poll won't come out until November. I think pre-season polls are nothing more than a guess. If memory serves, didn't Brando come out with some bitter get-off-my-lawn statement about the same time last year?

Carson will have time to ease into the system. My biggest concern will be the lack of (hostile environment + top notch competition) he will face before Tennessee. Would be nice to get a little more tempering. Hopefully it will be back-to-back-to-Beck-to-back.

The list will look a lot different by the end of the year. No question.

Yeah, gotchya. I don't disagree with that. I just think we need all the negative motivation we can get. They would milk the "disrespect" all year.

I have no problem with this. How could I? The Dawgs nearly lost to Missouri last year... is it silly to think that they could lose to a talented LSU or Bama team? Absolutely not. Klatt named two teams that could actually beat Georgia. Actually there are several more that could actually pull it off under the right (or, should I say wrong) circumstances. But here's the thing... There are fewer teams that could actually beat Georgia than there are that could actually beat almost any other team in the country.
