There is iron in AFan’s words of death for all Dawgs to see and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of TDOW carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of the Dawgs ... or the gumps. It shall be the Dawgs for a new millennium

… because you all are really going to have to make excuses for 2024.
How about this for why Michigan beat Alabama Michigan was the better team. Or, Harbaugh is the better coach because his team was not sidetracked with NIL, playing time, transferring etc Geez, here we are months later and people are still trying to make excuses for Bama’s loss. Give it a break because you all are joining to really make excuses for 2024.
Image being the WH staffer that has to change Uncle Joe’s depends, now that's a sh1tty job
“TikTok kids are running the show.” If only we could be so lucky. More like the TikTok kids are doing what the Chicoms, the Russians, the Iranians and the Cartels tell them what to do. Follow the money.
As my dear old Father likes to day "I just want to know who running the place?" Seriously, I wonder who is the "executive" in the White House, the one who actually decides what Uncle Joe is going to say, sign, order or the position he is going to take. Again, all joking aside, we know Uncle Joe isn't the decision maker.
By Uncle Joe standards he actually did good job in his little SOTU campaign speech. Facts and reality aside - no zoning out, no brain freezes, no mumbling and babbling incoherently, not calling his wife his sister, he didn’t say he was in the wrong State, didn’t mention Corn Pop, didn’t tell Black folk that Trump was going to put them back in chains, didn’t mock Indians, when he did sheet his depends it wasn’t noisy, didn’t fall down, didn’t walk in the wrong direction – by Uncle Joe standards he deserves an Emmy, a Grammy, a Hollywood Star and his bust on Mt. Rushmore for the performance he pulled off last night. However Uncle Joe is a like a B-2 Bomber, for every flight hour it takes hundreds of man hours of maintenance and preparation. I wonder what all his handlers had him hopped up on? Can you image the drugs it took to get that performance? I bet to today Uncle Joe is in a laboratory with techs resetting his brain like a scene from Total Recall and bringing his body temp back down like a scene from Universal Soldier. Hoses, wires, monitors, pumps, filters everywhere – filtering his blood, flushing his brain, getting all the sheet out him, trying to get the neurons firing again…
Why yes Mr. TheRealCojones, from Desantis to the administrators at the University of Florida, there are some real Americans in command in the Great State of Florida and that is inspiring to say the least. UGA’s complete and utter domination of UF on the football field does makes being nice and respectful of our Sunshine State neighbors more palatable. However, make no mistake about the matter, in the serious business of running a State the fine people in control down in the great State of Florida know how to lead and govern. At the end of the day football is just entertainment – Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is what it’s all about.
Really it's only a tough week for Emmitt. I like the guy as an athlete and entertainer but he was a fool to come out against the UF and State of Florida policies. Emmitt may be a hero now to a few more moon-bats and losers-in-life be he lost the respect of great many honest, hard working, decent grown-ups all across the Nation.
As of today I swear off making disparaging comments about and harboring ill will towards: The prestigious University of Florida The beautiful city of Gainesville Florida My fellow patriots and fine Americans who happened to pull for the University of Florida UF is a d@man fine school and its alums and fans are d@man fine people!!!!

Branson Robinson IS NOT participating in spring practice.
If Etienne fits into the UGA team culture and puts in the effort he will probably be the #1 RB at the start of the season. Roderick Robinson looked very good as a true freshman when not dealing with injuries - big, with decent speed and lateral movement. Andrew Paul (recovering from a 22 ACL injury) is a big, bruising north-south RB that was showing a lot of promise before his injury. Paul was looking good at the end of 23. I hope Branson is the best RB in 24 but that probably won't be the case. He's coming back from a major injury and missing valuable reps as a starter/rotator. If I'm not mistaken he is participating in spring practice.
Best 3rd down receiver in college football, McConkey always found the soft spot in coverage. 3rd and long, McConkey was the one to bet on. A WR that can do that at the NFL level has to be a very valuable team member.
I don’t think Napier is a dunce, he’s just stubborn and he has a method and timeline that doesn’t exactly line-up with the average UF fan’s win-everything-now time line. Napier is learning on the job but I think given time he’ll get to the level of competency needed to win championships. I.e Harbaugh and Swiney. The major concern I would have for Napier is recruiting, he’s not recruiting at a championship level yet. UF should be top-5 every year in recruiting along with winning the recruiting title from time to time. If were the UF AD I’d start a 3- year, manage-by-objective plan. Specific goals to hit each year, especially in recruiting. Light a big ole fire under his buutt. No ambiguity about were he stands at any given moment. Hit your marks or hit the road.
“Etienne averaged more than 4 yards a carry after contact and forced 35 missed tackles.” With UGA’s offensive line that should translate to a 6-7 ypc average. More times than not the UGA O-line will get the RB to the second level before a defender can put pads on the RB. Does Etienne have break away speed? I miss seeing those Michele/Chubb/Swift/Cook take it to the house runs.
I would go with the standard metrics no doubt but they don’t tell the whole story. Can UGA use its offense to stifle and dominate opponents, and most importantly, can UGA score when it needs to in the big-time games? The 2022 UGA offense scoring in the 4th qtr to edge out Mizzou and winning a shoot-out with OSU. The same 2022 offense complimenting a dominant defense and breaking teams like Oregon, UF, LSU, TCU etc. early in the game. The 2022 UGA offense was par excellence yet the Oregon and Liberty offenses were ranked higher.
Even the UF fans, aka Tuurd Nation, reveres me and puts me on a pedestal, in their own special way. One is best known by his enemies and look no further than the gumps (Dumbo Nation) to judge my standing. Many a woman, child and barn animal has been abuused because of the influence and power I yield over the natives of Alabamastan. I rank deity status down there.
Speaking from the vantage point of being the uncontested pride and joy of Dawg Nation, allow me to enlighten you. Ron is a good ole boy till he depletes his SNAP card and starts jones’ing for some meth and skunk weed. He’s “difficult” until Uncle Sam replenish his account – wash, rinse then repeat.
Mason had a very limited arm, he couldn't "make all the throws." And, Richt never had dominant O-lines that could pave the way for any player. Image Todd Gurley playing 3 years behind a Kirby Smart O-line. Or a pre-injury Nick Chubb playing his whole career behind a Kirby Smart O-line. No doubt about Bobo being an elite recruiter (minus the
Win or walk may be an overstatement, maybe, but Bobo is a polarizing figure in Dawg Nation, fans either love him or hate him. Any fall off in offensive production then the negatives and stereotypes about Bobo gain more credence and the fan base becomes more divided. The Bobo haters will get louder and have a bigger platform to criticize from. Even with the talent losses (Bowers, McConkey, Milton, Edwards, Mimms, Van Pran) I think the offense will be better in 2024 (barring xfers and/or injuries.) Loaded RB room that only needs some reps. Loaded TE room, elite talent even with Bowers gone. Talented WR room – Bell, Thomas, Lovett, Smith. Loaded Oline – All SEC and All American players Ratledge, Greene. Fairchild will be All-SEC and Micah Morris will be elite. Feeling will probably be All-SEC in 24, Wilson will be an elite OC with some reps, great depth. And QB – if Beck takes another step in his development he will arguably be the best QB in college football. Again minus injuries and xfers there’s no reason for Bobo to not have a Top-5 (if not the best) offense in the Nation in 2024, anything less and it will be hard to defend Bobo. Bobo has won me over. Bobo a very smart OC bordering on being an elite OC. At this point in Bobo’s career he has a great resume, great breadth of experience and is now in an elite system with elite talent at his disposal. I think Bobo will take the next step but if he doesn’t the gnashing of teeth and wailing from Dawg Nation will strong.
10. I’m a Mike Bobo believer I was a never a fan of Bobo and he wouldn’t have even been on my candidate list but overall he did a good job in his first season. A ton of fans and analysts didn’t like the Monken hire and his first season wasn’t anything to write home about; 2020 was a “twilight zone” season no doubt. UGA lost a lot of production - Bennett, Milton, AD Mitchell, Darnell Washington etc. Then, Bobo had to deal with injuries to McConkey, Bowers, Thomas, Brandon Robinson, Roderick Robinson, Luckie, Andrew Paul still recovering, Bell playing out of position etc. Overall Bobo did an B+ to A job. 2024 will he Bobo’s money year. I think 2024 will be an all or nothing season for Bobo. Win or walk. Buster Faulkner is just 90 minutes away, down the Atlanta Highway
What’s the difference between sign whenever versus not even having a signing requirement? At that point only the enrollment dates really matter, especially for the coveted, top-tier recruits. I’m not saying I oppose dropping the signing requirement however I think the signing requirement is a huge benefit for the coaching staffs and athletic departments who are already overburdened. The current mishmash of signing dates, portal windows and unlimited NIL money is going to ruin the college football product long term.
chasing the symptoms rarely ever corrects the problem, especially when the problems result from prior changes , KISS – keep it simple gumps one singing period per year, one portal window per year and kids can enroll earl. Let the coaches decide the dates and specifics. put a “salary cap” on NIL money so that NIL money isn’t the determining factor for where a kid goes, and not an inducement to get kids to transfer.
Yeah Hump, turds have a hard time thinking, and that is what’s between Standard’s ears.
