    There are many types of fans and journalists. BA is an unapologetic Dawg fan who writes and speaks to UGA fans. He interviews interesting people and he makes a lot of great points. But, he’s a Georgia fan, not a guy pretending to be disinterested—WYSIWYG. He plays an important role in my info gathering process. If I want a skeptical/negative view the options are abundant.

    I have often brought up an interview from ‘17 where Kirby was asked if the Dawgs were “there” as far as being able to compete with the Bamas of the CFB world. Kirby was blunt. He said, no, we just didn’t have the athletes to compete with Bama. I was surprised he said it. Well, Kirby ended up being wrong. The team continued to improve that year and we went to the wire with Bama. Saban admitted after the game that we were very competitive. My point is that even the coaches don’t know exactly what they have ahead of the season. Journalists and fans know even less than the coaches. I take everything predictive with a grain of salt. DND makes bad calls from time to time, but so do the coaches and the “disinterested” media.

    Always remember to polish the apple before giving it to your teacher. Also don't assume your teacher prefers apples to say a nice bottle of scotch, put some thought into it.

    I enjoy @DawgNationDaily and I like those that report for us. I especially like @Mike1975 because he tells it like it is. If you want sugarcoating read a Martha Stewart article. @JeffSentell does a great job with recruiting and normally gives us more info than we deserve.

    However, nothing is perfect and to point something out isn't always bashing. So, to that point, I would like to mention something that drives me crazy. BA asking a questions on the podcast. He can't just ask "What is Gilbert going to bring to the offense". Nope, it would go a little something like this: So about Arik Gilbert, you know I have always been a fan of his since he was in high school. I really wanted him to commit to us initially. When he didn't I really felt blue. You know that blue is one of his high school colors, unlike mine high school colors which were unfortunately orange and white. And you know orange is a really offensive color. Speaking of offense what is Gilbert going to bring to UGA's offense this year?


    Again, just one man's opinion.

    Well BA show format does not require word conservation. He is asked to fill air time. He plans his show daily. I appreciate that.

    Amazing WC! You don’t understand that your abrasive and insulting comments are going to get a response. But, maybe that’s your objective? BTW, I didn’t DV or OT you, even though it was probably appropriate...
