An alert reader passed this on to me.
Of course, have at it in the comments, but I can’t help observing that the last part of Bauerle’s caption is noteworthy as to whom it doesn’t mention.
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Doff of the cap to Goff — he looks great, and I’d venture to bet he doesn’t partake much in Zaxby’s. Also good to see Donnan — I’ve always liked him and, if nothing else, you have to respect his absolute love for the Athens area.

Yep, Jack’s been there a long time. Joel Eaves was the AD who hired Jack.
That’s exactly who the Senator was discussing.
Really I don’t know that McGarrity would even dispute Jack’s line about Coach Dooley. I believe he worked for Dooley as well. Certainly Dooley has his weaknesses, and has a healthy ego, but objectively he did a great job as athletic director for the entire program (even if you did not like the how the football program went for a decade or so, can’t argue about football’s performance in his last few years as AD we had some good teams).
Ray does look good, a lot better than last time I saw him a few years back.

We have liked to pick on Donnan since his “I’ve waited 55 years to coach a team like this” comment, but the guy has remained pretty damn loyal to Georgia since he left the profession. He still refers to Georgia as “we” when he’s interviewed. He seems to be genuinely happy for Kirby.
I wouldn’t go to him for investment advice, but the guy knows Xs and Os pretty well.

I also liked his work as a commentator. He’s funny, and yeah, he had problems with Yech, but wasn’t that when they had Cheatin’ George O’Queery on the other sideline? Not so much an excuse as an explanation that Tech was better then. It’s been all Chantastic Fish Frys since then.

When I was in grad school (98-99) I needed to secure a speaker for a business school program that was somehow tied to athletics. I came across Ray Goff at another function and, in desperation, asked if he would be interested. He graciously said “Sure..just give me a call, I’m in the phone book.” I did and he spoke to a large audience and was hilarious. Great self-deprecating humor and a really humble, straight up nice guy. I remember some of the dickheads in the group were saying how they planned on heckling him…fortunately, they did not, and also, it would have been hard to since he won the crowd right off the bat. Obviously tanked as a coach, but I always had a really good memory of him after this experience and he seemed like a legit nice guy.
