.@SethWEmerson would know better than me, but I believe UGA is returning:
QB, all its RBs, all its top WRs and stud freshman TE and three OL starters.
Clemson-Georgia Week 1.

Filed under Georgia Football
“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
Great news! Really looking forward to our offense next season. Maybe this will put to end the “narrative” of a culture problem at Georgia.

Good news…thinks this coming season will be his best.
Seems to getting some of his wiggle back, speed seems to be mostly back and runs with power.
Pulling for him, SO much potential coming out of HS. He deserves everything good coming his way. A good decision for him imo.

This^! We haven’t played them during their dynasty but more that 2/3ds of the time we beat Clemson. If we were able to do it then we should be able to do it now.
With that being said “Mac’s Speed Shack” is a good restaurant/bar conveniently located near the tram/shuttle that takes you to the stadium. Maybe some of us can meet up there prior to the game barring Covid and/or other bullshit. I’ll be the guy in the red shirt who has been over served.

That just reminded me, Ive never been to the cocktail party, and this is a great year for me to try as I could get the weekend free and clear. The other thing stopping me has been ticket cost, ,maybe I get lucky. In theory, we can leave that morning, maybe only need to stay one night.

Just a heads up, most of the hotels in the Jax area have a 3 night minimum the weekend of the cocktail party….

Chuck,
When I was young with tickets and cost really mattered it was leave really early and stay the night after the game around Richmond hill.
Everyone needs to experience TWLOCP at least once. Get there anyway you can. This past season I gave my tickets to my niece who was more willing then me to risk the virus. I’ll be hard pressed not to keep going as long as I can.

Remember when Richt signed a massive class with some nice headliners to round out his numbers? And it kind of imploded on him?
Dabo signed 30 guys in 2019. Mostly 3 stars. If you want the main reason they looked outclassed by OSU athletically, that’s a big reason why. They’re not bringing elite guys off the bench.
Those guys will all be juniors next year. That senior class started with 17 guys. Trevor’s gone and Ross is medically DQed.
They’ve got issues. DJ might spend most of that game running for his life.

They will have a pretty stout DLine though… starting with Murphy and Brese. I think as good as any we will see next year, playoffs included.

But the problem with being a 5 star surrounded by 3s is that it’s easier to double you or run away from you.
They’ll be a problem, but the rest of their D looks average. They couldn’t cover OSU’s guys at all

Very unpopular opinion here so hold tight…
I was sort of hoping he went ahead and declared. First of all, for his sake, as another significant injury would likely end his career and that kid and his family deserve to get paid.
Secondly, I reeeeeally want to see more totes for McIntosh and Milton. Add in Cook and there’s very few carries to go around.
I mean don’t take this as a complaint, necessarily, but I don’t feel like I did when Davis and Salyer said they were returning

Generally speaking, think it’s too early to celebrate returning talent. Yeah, we kept some great players from defecting to the NFL, but once the NCAA pulls the trigger on a penalty-free transfer option there’s going to be all kinds of movement. That’s great for UGA insofar as we need to snag an experienced CB or two. But happy as I am about Zeus and Cook returning, not sure McIntosh, Milton and Edwards will want to share time with them instead of transferring to a program with a less crowded RB room.

2 years ago we lost all our wide receivers and brought back most everybody else. Everybody thought the offense would be fine but it wasn’t.
