The Day After: It's Morning Again in Bulldog Nation

the site has regular contributors, all sorts of coverage of all things UGA, a great group of people that participate in threads. just great

also, thanks for letting my new stats articles go on the front page. my dream is to work as a sports statistician for ESPN. they suggested I start writing some articles on a blog so I have more to talk about when i get an interview. I knew yall would be supportive, but it has been wonderful having such an educated and enthusiastic audience. so, to everyone on here, thanks for all the support in following my dreams!

in one game a few years ago (straight from RBR.)

especially the FJM-style articles, the stats articles, and the You’re on Notice articles.

but that’s just me…

I love everything that I see on here, and I want to read every story and FanPost there is and all FanShots are tightly wound together and make sense.

I would like to suggest something every week. “Know Your Freshman”. Each one could be a small post about a walk-on or freshman, starting first with #43 Quintavious Harrow. It could include their basic info (height weight etc) and their position and role on the team, like special teams, etc.

I mean, that is what I read in every article not on this site. CFN.com even pointed out that we haven’t beat any teams in the top 25 right now. Could that be because we just beat the also receiving votes out of the “University of Auburn”? Don’t get me wrong… I want to be serious underdogs going into SECCG week, but it is plainly obvious that we wont crack the top 10 unless we hang 45 on LSU and win 2 bowl games.

Oh yeah, this site is the best! GO DAWGS!!!

MOAR.

CTG’s Defense is now 4th in the nation in Total Defense. JUST saying

I can say that this is site has quickly became my favorite site for all things DAWG-related. Not only is the football coverage spot on, but ya’ll keep us up on everything. Definitely better than the Atlanta Joke and Complainer, kills the 2 dweebs on the WWL (Lowe and Aschoff) abd i don’t have to rely on Barnhart and Dodd over at CBS any longer. Many thanks and keep it up.

Think you can get CTG to answer a few questions?

A great mix of pessimists and super pessimists that keep things in the right perspective. Maybe a weekly rant would be hysterical. I know we have some but I remember Kit’s rants on podcast last year were hysterical—this year too as a matter of fact—just less of them. Would love to get different ones on different teams or subjects fromTKK, tankertoad, ludakit, podunk, mr sanchez et al.

Also would like to see more recruiting updates. I am pretty regular on here and somehow missed the news about Lonnie Outlaw being out at UGA.

Maybe an email that goes out to a subscriber list to alert to best content/newest of the week.

Just ideas but man I love Dawg Sportit really is the best.
Thanks for what you do and keep it up.

So there’s really nothing more I could ask for.
Wonderful and varied commentary, healthy and civilized community, and even alcohol suggestions. Doesn’t get better than that.
PS- are you REALLY expecting any negative criticism on a day like today, Kyle?? I couldn’t be negative about ANYTHING that has “Dawg” in it’s name today!

there are other sites??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been looking for a reason to do my first post on here and a feedback question is perfect. First, a little about myself. I’ve been a Bulldog fan all of my 29 years. At the turn of the century, I was enrolled in a program at AASU in Savannah working for a degree from UGA. After 9/11 however, I decided to enlist in the Air Force. Fast forward to the present day and I am still active duty living in Shreveport, LA working as a bomber mechanic.

I discovered this site toward the end of the season last year. My frustration, coupled with the nauseating purple and gold everywhere here, caused me to find refuge at this site. It is refreshing to come here and read all of the celebrations and criticism that I don’t get to share with fellow UGA fans in this foreign land. I now come here almost every day and read all of the articles and fanposts. Thanks to all for providing such a great forum. Go Dawgs!

Re: the Dawgs on the gridiron and hardcourts,

By waxing a little poetic
About the Gnats Tiglesmen Vols wearing jean shorts

I dunno, maybe you can talk with Senator Blutarsky and let there be a Dawg Sports/Get The Picture merger, and I’ll be in heaven :-P

Some people will never have the pleasure of understanding the sweet bliss of an October afternoon under blue Georgia skies in Sanford Stadium, and I know I can always come to Dawg Sports to enjoy the love letters—I mean, blog posts—that are regularly written to Georgia football. And that’s simply the icing on the cake. I’m a relatively recent grad (BS ‘06) and have learned so, so much about the history of Georgia football and the workings of the game from Dawg Sports. The commentary always keep with reality, despite how easy it is to get carried away, whether it’s a loss to Boise State or a win against Auburn. So we’ve got solid, insightful analysis, interesting historical games posts, and stats analysis (like win correlations). These would all be wonderful alone, but what puts Dawg Sports above and beyond is the cutting wit of your contributors and aforementioned Athens love letters. I got a fellow alum (BS ‘10… a mere fetus) who watches games with me to start reading and she and I regularly start sentences with “Omg did you see what Kyle said about—” and then just start laughing. (You’re On Notice is one of our favorites. I will never not call Muschamp “you magnificent turncoat sonofabitch bastard.”)

I don’t consider myself prepared for a Saturday morning without having read Too Much Information. I like the idea of Toast When We Coast, Drink When We Stink but I’m not sure how that’s different from Cocktail Thursday. (I miss the specific drinks designed for players, like the Bacardi Rambo. They were so clever and pointed out possible game-changers. Also, I adore bourbon as much as you guys, but I know you can be more creative than Maker’s and Coke. Although I refused to put mine down yesterday until we had the W.) I love the allusions to and parodies of famous poets and read the Larry Munson parody of “The Raven” to lots of people who know nothing about Georgia football.

I also appreciate the commentary on other events around college football and recruitment and camp coverage in the preseason has helped me get through the past two springs. Whatever happened to the letters to the upcoming opponents? I forget who was writing them but they were hilarious. (People need to learn how to take a joke.) It seemed like some of the newer contributors were sharing their stories for how they came into their Bulldogness, which I really enjoyed. Maybe a weekly guest post could be lined up?

One more thing. For the most part this isn’t an issue, but some contributors’ posts have more than an accidental share of typos and grammatical issues. They certainly don’t keep me from enjoying the content; however, one of the reasons why I kept reading Dawg Sports when I first found it was because the editorial quality seemed to far exceed virtually all the other blogs I had tried.

Overall, keep up the exceptional work, guys. I look forward to reading every single day.

As several others have said, this is my go-to site for anything Dawgs. Thanks Kyle and company for, hands down, the most interesting, informative, and fun Dawgs site on the interweb. Oh, and Oxford comma all the way.

…and I noticed one of their sidebar items is a list of Penn State recruits. That would be pretty cool to add.
