I would take Sellers everyday and twice on Saturday over Carson. No way does he belong in the top ten. On the flip side, you and everyone else needs to keep him highly rated to remove any doubt that he will be gone next year. Beck for Heisman.
Immediately reminded me of the Chattanooga lookouts. It isn’t the same but it is similar.
It was brutal to watch but a blowout in Lexington is rare. The last five times we have played there, we have won by a total of 42 points. That is an average of just over 8 points per game. KY has always caused us grief and many fans can remember Lorenzen torching us for 300 yards every time he played us with two linemen hanging off him half the time and him throwing completions behind his back. He was a beast against GA.
Because the list doesn’t include “strong contenders”. UK won’t be a favorite in baseball until after a deep run in the postseason - which is very likely the way they have been playing.
Neither the bat or the ball changes the fact that Condon is having a historic season against the best competition college baseball has to offer. UGA has played 6 teams in the current top 15, including all of the top 4. He should be fun to watch for quite some time.
It also needs to be pointed out that in 2015, in response to the huge HR drop off from the new bats, the NCAA changed to a flat seam baseball. This had two effects, one, the balls have less movement from the pitchers, increasing the contact rate, but the largest difference is the reduced drag on a batted ball. While it doesn’t come off the bat any harder, it does travel on average 20’ farther which increases HRs significantly. If you look at 2011-2014 as compared to any year from 2015 forward you can see the difference the ball makes. In 2014, there were almost 6,500 HRs hit compared to over 9,000 in 2015 and over 12,300 in 2016 in all of NCAA.
Trump also secured long term federal funding for the HBCUs. Sanders just used one to get a better ride on the coaching carousel.
I doubt it. He is a unique ncaa talent in that he can hit and pitch, but scouts are only looking at him as a fielder/hitter or a pitcher, not both so his draft status is capped at his ability to be most effective in one role. If condon finishes strong he will either be 1st overall or the first non pitcher taken. 6-6, hits well, runs well and has started in 5 positions this year so you can move him around as needed.
He passed up a max of $2,400 over 4 years and a copy of a game? That’s not a lot of incentive to say yes.
Those numbers are meaningless. Uga played a cupcake schedule and should have had huge numbers. Bobo always chokes in big games. He gets overly conservative and runs up the middle until we punt. Sound familiar? We ran 31 times for 2.5 YPC against Alabama. Part was getting dominated up front, but we kept running the same inside runs again and again. 78 yards total and 17 came on 1 run early. After that we ran 30 times for 61 yards and benched the qb’s arm the whole game.
You don’t have to be a lawyer to know that when you add NIL agreements, free transfers of students at any point in the school year, and private equity groups (collectives) at each school run by boosters of said school, chaos will ensue and the end of the “student athlete” era has arrived. They are professional athletes playing with no contracts and free to leave mid season (portal windows are a formality only, as used by players opting out of bowls to transfer. It’s just NFL Lite now
Dawgs will be going for win #30 against Bama. We still play tech.
Before Saturday, I would have said they could keep it competitive. Didn’t think they could win, but at least push Bama. Now, NMST will still be in their heads the first half and it will be a 4 score game in the second. If I were a betting man, and the line was less than 25, I would take Bama.
“Only the rarest of football players can play 2 ways consistently…” (in HS) That is quite common actually, especially at smaller schools, and was more common, often expected, 10, 20, 30 years ago That does not take away from the fact that Schader is tearing it up this year. He is, let’s just not exaggerate on his athleticism by claiming it’s rare for a HS player to play both ways.
I don’t think he is a good fit at any SEC school. His personality is too large to handle the grind in the SEC. I could see him at FSU or Miami in the future though. He knows the game. How good of a coach is he? I don’t know that. He will bring in some recruits and $$$ wherever he goes.
That is just GA fans. Things went wrong when we were so close for so long we still expect the worst. Hence many fans (not me) moaning about Bennett returning last year all the way until after the TCU game.
It’s not the yards per game or the points. It’s the predictable play calling, particularly in the red zone. UGA leads the nation in red zone FG’s. Nearly 30% of RZ attempts end in a FG
There are plenty of comments about overrated teams. I think mizzou may be the most underrated. Drink is building a strong program.
Are you talking about the Year Alabama made it to the playoff despite not playing in their conference championship or the year Ohio State did?
158, 2TD, and no picks is impressive for never taking a rep with the team. Well done.
Nonsense. The only team that drops from #1 without losing is UGA. Every year. After 25 straight wins, UGA should be the unquestionable #1 until they lose, which very well may happen over the next 3 weeks. OSU just struggled with Wisconsin and claims PSU (who eked out a win vs lowly Indiana) as their best win followed by perennially overrated ND. Laughable. The committee is too easily swayed by a flash in the pan. See Tenn last year.
After 25 consecutive wins, UGA is number 1 until beaten.
I clicked this just to see if burton was on here. Sure enough. But, Burton is being burton and doing everything AL expects him to, same as he did at UGA. He is a solid WR2 and good for 2-4 receptions a game which is what he is posting. He is a big play receiver with good speed but too short/slow to be a primary WR1 and not quick enough to be a slot, both of which usually have more receptions. He is a strong receiver with good hands and can get open and gets paired with CB2 on most defenses, to his advantage. But big numbers are not something he will post consistently.
I am glad to have grown up when 3 of the 4 major sports saw their best ever to play in a relatively short period Jordan Gretzky Brady Baseball has had some great players during the last 30 years but not one of the top players, although the strikeout king (Ryan) finished in this era, he certainly isn’t the best to play. True HR king was Aaron but that is reaching back beyond the current era.
As a dawgs fan, I can’t stand Florida but their pitcher getting ejected against UGA should earn that umpire a suspension. Umpires are supposed to be a part of the game, not be an impact on the outcomes. At this point it was a 2-run game and could have altered the results. So tired of bad umps.
Mizzou 2022 is the perfect example. It’s the SEC, Anything can happen. It doesn’t mean UGA shouldn’t be 12-0 in Dec. they should, but they may not be and any one of 9 teams on the schedule could be the reason why.
High achievers work with mediocre people everyday. They tend to elevate, not exploit, mediocre people. Success is a compounding effort. Success at the lower levels means more success at the higher levels. Sure, high achievers obtain more, but so does everyone else.
