Oh we'll still get Domers, Auburn fans, and Gatas pretty soon.

When looking at the thread list, if you click in the replies column, a popup should launch listing all users and the number of posts.
Edit: I see this has been covered...
I tried to entice Greg Miller to join up here, giving us an actual Mizzou fan for once.
We don't have one, do we?

andycaps ran away with the offseason thread post count. I think mre and lonestar finished #1 and #2 last year, but lonestar really fell off this year

Back at you
Just make up a rivalry like Uconn did.
I feel like Georgia Southern's already done that for us.
Good thing you're not a doctor.
Between being busier at work, more videogaming and vacation taking, and not alot of interesting news to talk about here, haven't been bothered to post much. End of the season also didn't leave me too thrilled, with how that 2nd half against OSUn turned up (the aforementioned D. Henry disappearance).
I'm a little more hyped for MGSV than the football season. This QB hunt has killed alot of my hype. Fucking Alec Morris. Really?
I'm curious on how you think the UGA/Bama game will go this year in Athens. Will be a good one.
I'm curious what Bama's offense looks like this year after the aforementioned Derrick Henry disappearance in the title game. Did Saban beat into Kiffin's head in the offseason that when running the ball works, that you run the ball?
I get the majority of my posting in during the offseason and during the week during the season. I don't post during games, unless the game is out of hand for UGA. Too busy having a heart attack/pacing/superstitious/drunj.
I usually post during games (majority probably during Alabama games), if I'm at home on the couch with the ipad on.
Offseason's usually with funny stories (some from stories I find at other places like Twitter and TD) or recruitment stuff (usually back in February). This year, seemingly neither things were that interesting to me. DrunkSark piqued my interest a bit, but it's so late in the offseason.
Still hear that Alabama's front 7 is loaded, and should help contain Chubb. It all comes down to "Does Georgia have a mobile quarterback?"
Do they?
Offense though, could be great, could be the worst one under Saban. I don't know.

You're the second person to tell me that today. First was in the Virginia shooting thread
Nick Chubb has a funny way of handling the inevitability of getting tired during games.
Talking about higher regarded (out of highschool) RB Sony Michel.

Hey! Mine is real because it's in Latin. Those MDs with their English initials are the wannabes.
Yeah, saw that in there. What an overall shitshow everything is now.
Chubbs needs to quit it on the weightlifting front. Last time I saw a RB posting about squats, it was Trent Truck, and we know now how that's turned out.
I'm sure it is loaded. And everyone knows that every defense will be stacking the box to try to stop Chubb. There were some interesting studies done regarding how much teams did that against Chubb (often) against Chubb last year and how it worked. Most of the time it had little effect due to our OL being stout and Chubb being a monster. The OL has a few future draft picks on it, only change since last year is our center is on the Patriots now, and a guard slid over to center. Breaking in a new center with a new QB can be problematic.
Mobile quarterback? Most likely not. Not in the sense of a Blake Sims, anyway. Seems like the QB race is down to 2 at the moment: Bryce Ramsey and Grayson Lambert. Ramsey is likely slightly more mobile of the two, while Lambert has more game experience at UVA. Wasn't a great QB at UVA, but the thing to keep in mind with that is that he has a lot more talent around him at UGA than there. Lambert is a big pro-style QB, Ramsey is pro-style as well but "only" 6'3". Ramsey has the best arm on the team, though he's been known to be careless with the ball. That will get you benched with Richt, especially when you don't need your QB to force throws.
UGA secondary should be better than last year due to second year in Pruitt's system and more depth and talent. UGA DL is an unknown quantity due to getting Trenton Thompson in at the tackle spot and some highly regarded DE's as well. DL was a weak spot in our losses last year. Thompson is probably the closest thing to a sure thing you could get for a DT in a 3-4 scheme. But still, he's a true freshman. Question is if the youngsters talent is good enough to get them on the field over a lesser talented upperclassmen.
OLB's will be best in the conference, maybe in the country. Jordan Jenkins, Lorenzo Carter, Davin Bellamy, and then there's Leonard Floyd who is good enough to play OLB, ILB, and star. They want Floyd out there on every play, but they want Carter there as well with Jenkins.
ILB's should be solid.
Overall, defense should be improved. Offense should be same as last year when led the league in rushing. QB play just has to be competent. If ever we needed a game manager, this is the year.
Edit: Sorry for the Pristine'ish post. Got into it and didn't know where to stop.

Phyllis and "Andy from Ohio" got into it on paaaaaawl, and it was amazing
I swear it wasn't me.
It'll come down to how our QB and DBs play, and, since both positions are giant unknowns at this point, it's impossible to predict this game.

Did someone say Gators Gata fan?

Andy was a lawyer and asked Phyllis to name 5 players on bamas current roster. Her first name was "Kanye west" then named Cooper, I think she named 1 actual current player

How can a true alabama fan only name 1 player on the roster? She's clearly an actress

He's obviously at Bama games in every commercial.

Is Phyllis the Auburn lady or is that Tammy? Or neither?
Either way, it's the name on the front of the jersey, not the back.

Cromwell was the only one she could name

Whomever finishes 2nd, can you transfer him to us please?

I feel the same way, though I think the big unknown for us is the QB play. Can whoever is picked play well enough to not throw the game away and keep the defense honest? Won't know until a few games are played.

Would seem fitting, since he invariably wanted to play for Texas anyway.

Blame Cyan for this one.
My dad said it looked like Coker was going to get passed up for 1st string because of injury. I don't know how accurate that is.
Which is the guy who's disappeared, apparently from some sort of "doghouse" issue after the spring. Goes from fighting for the starting spot, to not even sure he's taking reps.
It's cool. The current "hot" rumor is that Cornwell may transfer somewhere. Today.
So tired of this off-season.
