I usually don't watch SEC NOW because five minutes in I'm saying ughhh. Well this morning there was nothing else to watch so I flipped to watch. Sure enough 5 minutes in I said ughhhh. And it was from our own DJ Shockley.

What'd he say?
He had Georgia in the playoffs but now that the B10 is playing Georgia is out. I'm just sensitive about that stuff. Sensitive about it and sick of the narrative. I want Georgia to put a beat down on everybody so that all these talking heads are shook.
Until we break through that ceiling we'll never be viewed the same as bama, tOSU and Clemson by the media in general. They will always list those teams with sometimes tacking us on the end. Until we break through, that is... That breakthrough is coming!!
I hear you, but don’t take it out on the analysts. Shock loves UGA, but he has a job to do and that’s to be objective.
An objective analyst would not pick us. Shock doing his job. Tired of hearing about OSU too as well Clemson who doesn’t have to play anyone. But looking at us objectively. Hard to pick a team to go all the way with a new qb new oc new OL and new Rb (talking about starters). The talent is there but the question is will it mesh quick enough. If so we have a great shot of beating everyone.
We didn't beat Bama because we didn't contain the qb in the second half. A conservative offense in the 2nd half of each of those games didn't help either. Outside of the faithful, Coach Smart is perceived as incomplete. The media focuses on negatives, controversy and discord. With Coach Smart's demeanor, the media senses his disdain and just don't wanna throw him any bouquets. I'm fine "getting comfortable with being uncomfortable." Looking forward to a lot of guys in Red and Black "talking with their helmets." GO DAWGS!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am Kirby's biggest fan, but the criticism is warranted until he finishes the job. Conservative play calling lost us two games vs Bama. Going with Fromm over Fields was a gigantic mistake. Not allowing the big dawgs to eat on defense and playing gap integrity is a mistake IMO. Just look at the Korey Foreman situation. There is absolutely no excuse anymore to not win a championship. If Justin Fields were our QB this year, I guarantee you that we'd be penciled into the CFBP. Alas, we still have question marks at that position and the pundits don't trust us. And, it is all warranted.
I agree with it being warranted for sure. We haven't broken through yet, plus there are questions at QB and OL. Those are 2 things that can kill a team. I believe we can get there, but let's face it there's no reason for anyone to pick us over OSU.
I totally understand what everybody is saying and I agree with it but when you turn on an SEC show and have to listen to them pump sunshine on every program in the SEC, Florida mostly, and then crap on Georgia, it gets old.
UGA still has to "break through." OSU or no OSU! It doesn't matter. You can win a natty with no OSU and you will have won but are you the best out there overall? You need to take on the big schools and WIN! That's a natty! IMO.
Please please please......media outlets....please please please..... continue to pick Bama for the SEC. Continue to pick Florida for the SEC east.
Keep saying it media.....Georgia has no proven QB, new oline, no swift, new kicker....
What good comes from preseason media praise. Over the past 40 years when the media did believe in the Dawgs......what did that get us? NOTHING
For those of you whose feelings are hurt because DJ didn't say Georgia is the best team in the SEC.....why is that?
I'm tired of reading how good the Dawgs should be......just win.
I wish Georgia would have won it all in 2017.....but regardless......how special was it that it came out of no where?
I'm more concerned with what the media says about Georgia in January.
I guess we're looking forward to more and more controversies surrounding the entry of the Big Ten's 8 game schedule into the CFP mix. More analysts will pick everyone but Georgia. Get a bigger bulletin board. With video clips.
You cannot treat an 8-games schedule the same as a 10-game. Come on. To this old UGA Dawg, things are becoming ridiculous. UGA will prove its ranking come January....#1. Coach Smart and his well-trained Dawgs will get the job done! Enough chatter.....RESULTS! GO DAWGS!!!
All Okay. Rat Poison this early in the season can be deadly.
OSU has a great team but they have to play the games to prove it. Only 8 is going to handicap them. If we lose only one game this season I don’t think OSU should be ranked ahead of us for the CFB, even if they are undefeated.
