Dawg Sports, a Georgia Bulldogs community

. . . the plane we've all been tracking all day is scheduled to return to Athens around 5:15 this afternoon. Boy, we're going to feel stupid if that has nothing to do with bringing Kirby Smart home. Go 'Dawgs!

Alabama is a near-unanimous No. 1 and I was the runner-up for Mr. Bold. Move along . . . nothing to see here . . . get back to tracking those airplanes and following David Hale's Twitter feed! Go 'Dawgs!

. . . to discuss affording him "head coach in waiting status" in Tuscalooa. Go 'Dawgs!

Nothing appears imminent, according to David Hale, so we continue to wait and watch. For the record, the Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to take on the Minnesota Vikings at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 17. If Kirby Smart decides to stay put, all of Bulldog Nation probably needs to watch that game and pull hard for the Vikes (the team Brett Favre plays for, not the drug to which he became addicted). Sorry, ausdawg85, but pro loyalties should mean no more to fans than they do to NFL players and owners; we have to be true to our school. Go 'Dawgs!

$700,000 a year for a minimum of three years. Mama and money are calling. Reportedly, no decision had been made as of Sunday morning and Alabama will "do everything necessary to keep him." Given Nick Saban's previous comments about lateral moves, and the subsequent statement that 'Bama hired Coach Saban and the Armani Bear hired assistants, I doubt seriously that the Crimson Tide coach is prepared to match that. Either we get this one done or it's back to rooting for the Cowboys to lose as soon as possible. Go 'Dawgs!

. . . but there is a formal offer on the table. Now we wait. Go 'Dawgs!

. . . you're not looking for it to be Todd Grantham. (By the way, could we get a few more shots of people looking up at the scoreboard of the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium? Other than getting to see the cheerleaders live, there seems to be no difference between watching a Cowboys game on television at home and watching a Cowboys game on television at the Cowboys' stadium.) If we are, in fact, looking at a Sunday announcement, we're looking at a homecoming, not a hire from the NFL ranks. Stay tuned. . . . Go 'Dawgs!
