On episode No. 935 (May 2, 2019) of the podcast, Georgia fans can hear a discussion about what the national media has said about UGA upon the release of another batch of way-too-early top 25s.
Georgia football podcast: National media lists reasons UGA’s a Playoff contender
Beginning of the show: Georgia is the No. 3 team in the country according to a consensus of national writers who’ve recently updated their way-too-early top 25s now that spring practice is finished. I’ll discuss on today’s show why the media seems to have some different reasons in favoring UGA as a strong Playoff contender.
10-minute mark: I’ll share audio from Before the Hedges from 5-star linebacker Mekhail Sherman that provides some insight into why Sherman has whittled his recruitment to two contenders — UGA and Ohio State.
15-minute mark: The SEC Network’s Tony Barnhart joins the show. Some of the topics covered include…
- The national perception of UGA
- How the Bulldogs fared during spring practice
- Tennessee’s recent drought of producing NFL draft picks
- Whether pressure is mounting on South Carolina coach Will Muschamp
- And reaction to Florida coach Dan Mullen’s outspoken demeanor thus far this spring
30-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including Auburn coach Gus Malzahn’s revelation that the Tigers’ quarterback competition is down to two contenders, a look at whether Kentucky coach Mark Stoops should be considered a “proven winner” and some wildly different predictions involving the outlook for LSU.
35-minute mark: I’ll explain why not every UGA fan liked Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt’s recent comments about former UGA defensive back Deandre Baker.
End of show: I share the Gator Hater Updater, provide an update on Diamond Dawgs pitcher Emerson Hancock and congratulate Tom Crean for bringing in Donnell Grisham — a grad-transfer point guard from Northeastern.
