I wish him nothing but the best.  He was a class act last season, when he could have been a major distraction.

That being said, I’m glad he’ll be playing for a team not on Georgia’s schedule.

UPDATE:

Also love Daniels propping up the Classic City on his way out of town.

–Daniels also enjoyed Morgantown and said he felt comfortable there.
"I loved it," he said. "It feels very Athens-ish, which is a quintessential college town which I have really, really enjoyed living in."

“I love Georgia and Georgia has always loved me since I’ve been here,” Daniels said. “It’s been a really, really good and supportive fan base. I’m very, very thankful. I had no problems adjusting. I wouldn’t even consider it an adjustment. Everyone here has been good and honest and good people.”

How can you not like him?

G-Day preview #1

It comes from Seth Emerson yesterday ($$).  The tl;dr version:

• Status quo at quarterback.  Really, the main thing to learn is how far Back and Vandagriff have come in a year.
• Receiver/tight end are in better shape than expected.  Have to think we’ll all be watching Arik Gilbert closely.
• Offensive line depth is there.  It’s the second-string line to keep an eye on.
• Defense will have new faces, but it’s the same old, same old, when it comes to coaches.  How much should we be concerned?

And, of course, my favorite:

• What will the offense look like in Year 3 of Monken, and with Bennett back? Will there be more flexibility for quarterback draws, even more use of the tight ends because of the surplus there, and a desire to get Washington involved? Given that the opening opponent is Oregon — and Lanning — don’t look for Monken to give too much away. But as with anything, there may be small clues that the fan base can obsess over for the ensuing four-plus months.

Hey, it’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

So, how many of y’all are planning on going Saturday?  For those on the fence, this man says there are still tickets available.

The 2022 schedule

Athlon breaks it down here, calls it “manageable”.  That strikes me as being a little charitable.  Once the Dawgs get past Oregon in the opener, the sailing seems pretty smooth from there.  Your thoughts?
