      Sooo….if several college coaches are being considered for NFL jobs, how many who are being discussed really have a better resume than Kirby? If an owner can’t get Saban, who else can bring The Process to a city near you? And just to have more fun with this…who would UGA turn to quickly?

    I’m resolved to stay on the course I started in 2019, where massive positive changes started. This is the year and decade where all my years of planning and sacrificing and digging in start to pay tangible results, and I’m not talking just financially.

    I’m resolved to keep a level head about the outcome of various sporting contests.

    Finally, I’m resolved to not get drawn into political discussions unless I know the people I’m talking with, and know our relationship will not be negatively affected.

    Happy New Year to my fellow Dawg fans! 2020 is going to be a great year. I resolve to get into better physical condition after some issues last year. I’m off to a good start having lost a bunch of bad weight.

    Oh, and I’ll take 2020 over 2010. Look forward.

    I resolve to stop letting a world going crazy around me make me crazy too. Louis was right – it’s a wonderful world. Flawed, needs a lot of helping hands, but I am done with the “make you mad” back and forth raging between the obnoxiously Right and obnoxiously Left. I’ve walked out on that movie. Enjoying coffee or bourbon with the reasonably Right and reasonably Left people in my life. Plenty of both.

    More swimming. More hiking.

    Football is a game. Entertainment. Means a whole lot more to the guys on the field than it can ever mean to me. I will adjust my responses accordingly.

    Happy New Year everyone.

    I try to be optimistic about the dawgs as I can but it is a bit disappointing we seem to have a lot more guys laying out for the sugar bowl than auburn and Alabama do for lesser games.
    I haven’t analyzed their rosters/potential draft status compared to ours but if anyone here has and can make the case it’s not as bad as it seems I’d like to know.

      Yeah, I am sitting here watching both Bama and Auburn playing future NFL stars in their meaningless bowl games – Jerry Judy, Derick Brown, etc. This has kinda gotten me pissed at our guys who are sitting it out. I know, I know…that is wrong, they are justified, they should protect their future, yada yada, kiss my ass but I can’t help thinking less of them than of the stars who are out there playing today.

    Happy New Year, Senator and all you fellow Dawg lovers, out there! I wish the best for all of you and our Dawgs! I plan to finish losing the last 20 lbs for a total of 80 lbs gone. I’d like to be more patient with others, so I’ll work on that!

    I want to go to at least 5 concerts this year. God willing I got the Crowe’s lined up already and hope to see The Pretenders/Journey (really just bc of The Pretenders tho, who I’ve never seen). Would love to hear of any suggestions too, keeping in mind I’m willing to travel- Bham, Chattanooga, maybe Charlotte etc.

      I saw Allman Betts the other night and they were awesome. Really small venue I was able to stand 10 yards away. They have their initial album out which is good but live was excellent. They were about 10 time more enjoyable than drivin n cryin concert I saw last week.

    Totally off the topic, but I just ran across this
    “Vandagriff, the top-rated QB in the Class of 2021 according to Rivals.com, announced on Wednesday that he is decommitting from Oklahoma. Vandagriff is from Georgia, and he said he has decided he wants to attend school closer to home.

    Kirby Magic at work??

    My resolution is to daily complement a random stranger and hope to get a smile in return. I’ve been doing this for about a week, and it’s surprisingly easy. Yesterday, an elderly lady checking out in front of me at Target was taking forever because she had five different coupons. As my impatience built to a volcanic explosion, I told her she was so good at this that she should start a blog about how to save money at Target. Her wide smile melted my impatience.

    Today, I engaged the scary dude at the table next to me at Chick-fil-A and told him how much I liked his tattoos (all over both arms and part of his neck). His smile made him look a bit less fearsome.

    The best part is that it makes ME feel good.
