ACTUAL ONFIELD TOPIC: When was the last time you felt this good about your team's roster ?

For Georgia, I've got 2021. This feels like a vintage Kirby Smart team for the first time in a few years. #8 in Bill Connely's returning production thing after being 107th last season and finishing number 2 in the final CFP poll anyway. Feels like a Kirby Smart front 7 for the first time in a few years. Might be the best offensive line during Kirby's tenure.

Also, it's the most managable schedule in a while. Georgia only has to leave the state three times in the regular season. Counting the SECCG, Georgia could play 11 games within 70 miles of its practice facility.

Still not predicting a national championship, because shite happens and nowadays you have to win at least 3 games instead of two. Two was easier.

But one way or the other a lot of joyless murderball will be played, and Georgia will unleash plenty of hell this season. Still can't believe the season is here.

Like our defense a lot.

High ceiling on offense, but I don't think it materializes unless the OL gels and we get some semblance of a run game.

Early practice injuries aren't encouraging, but most guys will be back at some point this season, so I guess we need to let the defense carry us until the offense gains an identity.

I think college football is becoming the NFL record-wise too. Just not sure how many times we'll see teams without two or three losses. Too much talent spread around (for better or worse).

Mike Leach's last year. Who knows how well we do on wins and losses, but the talent level is getting there. We may shock some people this year.

2019. I was excited about that roster, but I had no clue at the beginning of the season what it was going to be. I’m not saying this team is going to be even remotely that good I’m just saying I haven’t been this excited about roster since then, and that is the truth.

I'm very confident in this UGA team. I think they'll make a run at the natty, but as you said, that's gotten more daunting. The one question is the WR group.

OKST will be much, much improved.

My undergrad alma maters are looking good.

Never. Never spent $40,000,000 on a roster before.
