Beginning of the show: Georgia’s second-straight national championship was in many ways a triumph of leadership for the Bulldogs. UGA shook off any temptation for complacency and finished off a perfect season with a 65-7 win against TCU in the national championship game. After the game was over, UGA coach Kirby Smart was enjoying the celebration, but he also delivered what was likely the first challenge to next year’s senior’s. I’ll talk more about what that message was on today’s show.

15-minute mark: I discuss the possibility that former UGA quarterback Stetson Bennett is climbing up NFL draft boards based on some recent comments from ESPN’s Mel Kiper.

20-minute mark: Former UGA wide receiver Terrence Edwards joins the show.

40-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including the latest on Alabama’s offensive coordinator search.

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