The more, the merrier

You know, one thing about this…

Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs had a record number of early enrollees this spring, 14, and for 11 of them, Saturday will be the first time they suit up in red and black. Rian Davis, Ryland Goede, and Trezmen Marshall have all been limited during or held out of the team’s spring practices due to injuries, but for the members of the No. 2 ranked class that will take the field, it’s an opportunity for them to get used to the environment between the hedges.

… is that there should be less of a depth problem than is usually the case on G-Day.

Still, I don’t expect to see much of Fromm or Swift today.  They probably ought to keep Woerner in bubble wrap while they’re at it, too.

Who are you looking forward to watching today?

Today’s slate

Georgia is the only SEC team with a spring game today, but if you’re interested in what else is out there to sample, here’s ESPN’s summary.

I hope they’ve got Mike Leach mic’ed up.

Smile. It’s Friday afternoon.

That ain’t bad.  Not even a little bit.

Filed under “that’s for me to know and him to find out”

Hmmm… this sounds vaguely ominous.

During a recent appearance on Atlanta-based radio station 680 The Fan, Smart was asked if he was aware of Florida’s trolling of Georgia.

“Yeah, I heard,” Smart replied.

As for a response, Georgia’s coach didn’t really want to go there.

“I’m really comfortable not talking about it,” Smart said when asked for his response.

My guess is that he’ll be really comfortable watching his team bludgeon the Gators in Jacksonville, too.

Again, trolling only works when you can back it up, Dan.  See, for example, the Evil Genius.

UPDATE:  If you’re looking for the tl;dr version…

Red appears to be the No. 1 offense and No. 2 defense. The Black team is No. 1 defense and No. 2 offense. https://t.co/42CVA9YyUm

“He’s got a B in a class and he’s never made a B before.”

I don’t know if I’m more impressed with Nakobe Dean pursuing an engineering degree or with the coaching staff letting him pursue an engineering degree.

Well played, all concerned.

These spring practice notes are making me horny.

First off, major kudos to Seth Emerson ($$) for printing a warning about drawing G-Day conclusions without making an obligatory reference to QBR.

But the real point to this post is to tell those of you who don’t subscribe to The Athletic what you’re missing:  the part of his article referenced under “A few things we’ve learned” may be the purest and longest dose of Dawg porn I’ve read in 2019.  I’m not sure there’s a shower cold enough for afterwards.  And that’s after reading it yesterday.

Things can change, obviously, but this program is in a very good place right now, and that’s before a few more likely 2019 contributors arrive this summer.

Can I bum a cigarette off one of you?
