Yes. We really need to appreciate what we have currently and soak in every moment because UGA football has never been in better shape in our history than we are right now.

-The early/mid 40s might be up there but there was that whole "world war" thing, and you can argue that our success during that time period mainly hinged on 2 players
-The early 80s we had a great run but you could pin the majority of that success on one player if you wanted to. It's not hard to see how we did the 3 years preceding him then the 3 years after him to draw that conlusion.

We are currently one of the premier teams in america and are doing it without a reliance on one or two megastud heisman winners to carry us, meaning there's no real end in sight to how long this can take us.

True measure of the success in hindsight will be if leadership has the wherewithal to allow this run to lift the ships of other sports and the university at large.

Say what you will about Alabama as an institution and athletic department but they are unquestionably better across the board than they were pre-Saban in large part because they’ve ridden their success wave so far as to add brick and mortar facilities to their campus.

Admissions (which have already been getting more and more selective) should see a nice bump in applicants, particularly out of state. Prestige aside, how does state and school leadership manage those applicants? How does Josh Brooks use football success to build up and not overshadow basketball and baseball?
