that guy is really good. The guys like Chuck Oliver and Chip Towers just seem to try to stir the pot and try to bait Kirby with questions that relate to off the field issues. A lot of us just want to watch breakdowns and the sport itself. I rarely turn on these ESPN shows they are talking about off field issues like what a player said or sone contract issue,.

I gave up drinking years ago, but have a few friends that still try to tailgate like it's college. Show up for one game and buddy has a 60oz tumber w/ half Jack and half coke. Pours himself one and hands it to my ex-wife. He was incoherent by kickoff. Seems like overall it's less crazy than the 80's or 90's. Went to a game with my dad in 85. I had never seen so many drunk people. We were like that all my years at games 90-95. Had a dorm mate that blacked out at every single home game freshman year.
I missed it. We got plenty of sleep back at UGA. O recall coming home from class around 1pm some days and I was out partying the night before just take 2 hour nap. Get up; eat dinner; study a few hours; then go out drinking all over again. We were young and could rebound but we weren't going out for 2 a days with full pads on.
Gunner had some good throws in the SECCG and playoff game, but he just looked a step slow. He was a great runner in HS but guess you have to consider it was AA football. Still we only had one full game to really watch him.

re: OT - 0-6 Braves ???

I stopped supporting the Braves until they come up with some local TV contract. They keep saying it's the media companies fault. I don't care who's fault it is; get the games on TV. They lost what made them such a great organization for so many years. You could turn on the Superstation all over the US and any night the Braves game was on. Now it seems like the focus is trying to pay off debt from the Battery.
They probably weren't making a lot of profit from it or caused other problems. I'm gen-x and this younger generation drinks nowhere near as much as we did.
It's tough and not fair to these coaches, but this is the new world with NIL and the portal. I remember some announcers talking about how young this team was; like to say we would be more experienced next year. There's no next year for really anyone. It's rebuild from the portal every year.
The portal has been really hard on UGA. I remember when Crean lost several guys including Wheeler. Too bad Demary isn't coming back. Seems like we will have to completely rebuild next year.
If Florida wins it all; it will hard to comprehend how bad we looked in the first round.
I generally root for the SEC in hoops in the tournament even if it's one of our rivals. I like the Florida coach. He's running a solid program down there. I've always liked Rick Barnes. I had a friend that played for him at Clemson. He said he was a great coach and person. I'm not much of a Bruce Pearl fan though.

I remember the days when we would go in the 90's after I graduated and people would give us student tickets and they didn't check ID's. You can still go to a the decent non-premium games for around 100 a ticket and if the weather is bad a lot less.
I hear Asa Newell is one and done going to the NBA draft. He's great but he's very raw. He needs to develop his post game, shooting, and defense; but I guess some NBA team will take him as he is. I would think he could make some good NIL money but I can get where guys want to jump. This has been going on for years. I had heard Demary may also jump to the draft. As with most other programs White will have to rebuild next year, but we should have a lot of guys back like Blue Cain and Cyril.
I don't know how they seeded Gonzaga an 8 seed. They look like they could give Auburn and the top SEC teams a run for their money. Their offense flow is really good. Lot of good passing and shot selection. This UGA team reminds me of some of the Fox teams. Big, athletic, good D but poor shooting and offense. I mean the only good thing I can say is we are doing well to keep this under a 30 point lead.
quote:

Same old shite. Turnovers, poor defense, poor offense, etc, etc. what do they do at practice?


We look how we did in those rough stretches we had this season. Gonzaga shooting 78%; we are shooting 9%. 27-3 will be hard to pull back from.
I do hope he does well. Less competition will help. But dang he looked lost most of last season. He had not pocket presence or moxie.
Does the SEC get 14 including Texas and OK now? We would have been better off as a 12 or 13 seed. Seems like we hit an OK team with something to prove.
yah, I will watch him. I like Beck, but I don't know what happened to him mentally from 2023 to 2024. Everyone assumes that it was money but his crappy season cost a first round status and also a bad injury.
There was another guy on 92.9 the game that said the loser of OK-Ga was out. He thought we had to win that game. I think we have enough quality wins; plus 20 wins. I think most experts are saying we are a lock. It looks like they will have to take 13 teams though with Ga, OK, and Arkansas. If Texas goes on a run maybe they get in too.
yah, we are solid on D, but need another go to scoring option and better 3%. This team is young and we already made the tourney. If White can keep this group intact should be good outlook for next year.
