Georgia football podcast: Expect UGA to be eager to compete in new, tougher SEC

Beginning of the show: Georgia coach Kirby Smart hasn’t commented yet on Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC, but some of his previous statements about his desire to play a challenging schedule provide a clue about how he’s likely to feel about the change. I’ll discuss more on this topic on today’s show.

Eight-minute mark: I discuss the wild speculation centering around which teams could join Texas and Oklahoma in the new-look SEC, including ESPN’s David Pollack, who suggests Clemson as a possibility.

10-minute mark: I discuss how UGA could use Arik Gilbert based on some comments from Smart at SEC Media Days.

15-minute mark: Former UGA wide receiver Terrence Edwards joins the show. Some of the topics covered include...

  • Thoughts on Gilbert
  • The lastest on SEC expansion
  • And an opinion on five-star quarterback Quinn Ewers possibly skipping his senior year to cash in on name, image and likeness revenue as an early enrollee at Ohio State

30-minute mark: I take a look at other headlines including more details about Ewers’ situation and some wild comments from LSU coach Ed Orgeron.

35-minute mark: I mock myself for some half-baked legal analysis on a previous show that turned out to be correct regarding the departure of Texas and Oklahoma from the Big 12.

End of show: I award a Golden Shoe winner and update the Gator Hater Countdown.

After the show: I take questions and comments as part of the Podcast Cool Down.
