Quote Of The Day

“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

Damn. He should have just added, “like my former teammate Jermaine” to end any doubt about what that statement meant.

The young man being referenced is going to need 625 yards and 16 touchdowns over the next two games and a bowl game if that was his purpose in transferring.
I would pay good NIL money to any player who would be willing to answer the inevitable “what was the difference between this team and last year’s team?” question after they hoist the trophy in LA with “well, this year was a lot better because we didn’t have to put up with Jermaine in the locker room.”

In case y’all were curious, the dude Kearis was maybe, possibly referring to is on pace for a season total of 488 yards and 5 TDs—almost the exact same stats he put up in 2021. Just not with a national title ring this time around.

I love the pettiness! Speaking of transfers- I’ve been able to watch bits and pieces of other SEC games this year and damn there are a LOT of former Dawgs just in this conference. At least 3 DBs, 1 LB and 2 WRs just in the SEC. 6 guys that I recognized who are starting or playing a major role! And there are obviously others outside the SEC.
What’s crazy to me is that we have maybe the best secondary coaching in the country and we’ve still lost so many DBs. So many that we’ve had to rely on walk-ons and lesser recruited guys fairly heavily.
It really kind makes us winning the NC and being in contention again that much more impressive.

Particularly on defense, Georgia really is a feeder program for the rest of the SEC and also ACC. It’s amazing. Kirby gets dinged for that one quarterback who walked out of the door (with only a conference championship to show for it), but his success rate picking what players to retain and which ones to sort of allow to go elsewhere is remarkably high.

That one QB that walked out the door got drafted 11th, so I don’t think is one conference championship is the defining detail.

Although he does not use any names, it’s hard not to read between the lines. Again, I wonder how hard Kirby and staff really fight to keep those guys in the fold or do they encourage them to seek greener pastures. It seems like it is either buy in or bye, bye. Kirby’s comments after #FTMF about the guys that are here, want to be here and not using the portal to flood the team. Kirby does not just spout off. He is very deliberate in what he says. We’re loaded with talent, so if you want to be a Prima Dona, losing you is not the end of the world. Recent article in the local paper (Dallas Morning News or FW Star Telegram, can’t remember which) about how Zach Evans tore apart the TCU locker room because Gary Patterson did not hold him to the same standard. It only takes one to destroy team chemistry. I just can’t see that ever happening while Kirby runs the show.

Agree. Mark Richt, God bless him, always thought he could reach guys like Evans when they became trouble makers. I remember some guys becoming locker room problems some time around 2011 or so and finally moving on but it had been obvious something was wrong on the team when that came to light. Might have 2010 because they were pretty good in 2011. I can’t remember stuff like that the way I used to.

I fully believe that Kirby wanted Burton to stay because he had a role to play on this team and he would be useful (pretty much the same as last year and this year in Tuscaloosa). But I also don’t think that Kirby fought very hard to keep him, and for a team leader like Kearis Jackson to say this in public with it being completely obvious who he’s talking about… you really wonder how great a clubhouse guy he was. These guys understand business decisions. Going to Alabama from Georgia is something entirely different. I bet dudes like Matt Landers, JT Daniels, Justin Robinson, Latavious Brini… those guys’ invitation to reunions is hand written and Jermaine Burton’s is a form letter.

I read Kirby’s comments partially as a recruiting pitch – like we’re not going to just go out and poach players to jump in front of you on the depth chart if you come to Georgia like some teams from the west do.
But that’s just me – always assume he has a recruiting purpose behind his words.

How bout this Dawg!!
“University of Georgia international affairs senior Natalie Navarrete was named a 2023 Rhodes Scholar this weekend.
Navarrete, from Boca Raton, Florida, is one of 32 students nationwide to be awarded the prestigious scholarship. She will receive an all-expenses paid two to three years of study at the University of Oxford.
The Rhodes Scholarship is an international scholarship for graduating college seniors to continue postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford. It is the oldest award for international studies in the world.
“I am still in shock to be honest,” Navarrete told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution late Monday. “I feel so proud to be a Dawg right now and am so grateful to UGA and all my professors and advisors for all that they have done for me. I can’t wait to be back in Oxford soon.”
