it’s as if we have fallen off a cliff in recruiting cache. The coaching, development, winning, nfl pitches don’t seem to be landing like they once did.


Define "fallen off a cliff". NIL is driving parity and it's harder now for 1 to 3 programs to hoard elite blue chips like before. Used to be composite class recruiting scores saw huge gaps from #1 class to #10 class but not anymore. Now there is barely a difference between the top 5 schools in terms of recruiting composite scores. There's also plenty of time remaining.

IU proved last year a team of 25+ year old veteran 0 to 3-star but disciplined players could crush younger more talented teams. So retention is becoming extremely important. Kirby is doing a great job of that.
He threw 114 pitches. Last one was a 96mph K for his 15th K. Additionally, he was responsible for two outs on his own. He could have kept going into extra innings. He was in...the...zone. What a performance! GO DAWGS!

Welp...NVM
Looks like the bugs are in a tight one with the Sooners. Would love to see them out of the way. Don't really want to face them in Omaha.
I saw a story yesterday that claims the GBI investigation of the 2020 GE was called off by Gov Kemp before it was complete.
Between them, who can beat Bottoms?

Fantastic! I've put 3 girls through UGA as well. One was a Redcoat Trumpet! I'm an alum too.

GO DAWGS!

Beato's interview with Michael McDonald is awesome. Also his Neal Schon and Steve Lukather is fantastic.

Went through a 6.5 in Afghanistan and a 7 off the coast of Guam. Weirdest experience I've ever had.

Professor of Rock
Rick Beato interviews
So will the Falcons put two years back to back and pick a Dawg this year? What are their needs and is there any of these guys that could be a good fit?
UK seems winnable when you look at their losses and losses at home. Missouri beat them at Rupp.
Agreed but can the SEC step up in bowl games and win please? Seems every year lately we beat our chest about how difficult the SEC is then most lay an egg in whatever bowl game an SEC team is in.
Kirby's ability to develop players for the NFL can overcome a lot of that (I hope)

We've got about 1/8" layer out here in Bogart, GA just West of Athens.
IU also showed us how a ton of slightly less talented BUT much more experienced rosters can overcome highly talented but much less experienced opposition. Add elite discipline in execution (rarely make mistakes) and you get an IU type outcome.
