Georgia football podcast: Michigan matchup provides tremendous opportunity for UGA

Beginning of the show: Georgia’s ultimate goal is to win a national championship, and the path toward that mission should take the Bulldogs in the direction of arch nemesis Alabama for many years to come. Unfortunately, constant comparisons to the Crimson Tide can leave any program -- UGA included -- lacking. That’s why the Orange Bowl matchup against Michigan provides a valuable opportunity for the Bulldogs. It’s a chance to get out from underneath Alabama’s shadow and earn another marquis win against a storied program that also happens to be among the hottest teams in the country. I’ll discuss more on that topic on today’s show.

10-minute mark: I celebrate a few UGA football figures who’ve been busy on the awards circuit.

20-minute mark: DawgNation’s Connor Riley joins the show to recap the loss to Alabama and look ahead to the Orange Bowl.

40-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including new Florida coach Billy Napier announcing his first assistant coaching hires.

End of show: I award some Golden Shoes and update the Gator Hater Countdown.

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