Georgia lost to Florida two years ago today. Since that game, #UGA is 27-1 and out scoring opponents on average by almost four touchdowns per game. No doubt, Kirbyâs got something special going in Athens right now. Enjoy it Bulldog fans.

Kirby Smart to Arian Smith in pregame on Saturday: âWhen you get the call, take a deep breath, relax and go play. Youâve earned this. Relax Arian. They canât run with you kid.â. Got a feeling weâre going to see 11 make some big plays down the stretch of the season.

Georgia AD Josh Brooks says it's not NIL and the transfer portal that keeps him up at night, rather the mental health of student athletes. As a result, Georgia is increasing its budget for mental health by over $486,000 this coming year.

To put todayâs transfer portal additions in context for you, #UGA just added two players that let their teams in receiving yards this season. Add in the fact that Bowers, McConkey and Mitchell are all expected to return, and UGA has one scary group of pass catchers next year.

Georgia Baseball is getting one of its top prospects to campus. Erik Parker turns down an opportunity with the Dodgers for the red & black. While #UGA lost transfer commits Jojo Jackson (Georgia State, NYY) & JR Freethy (Nevada, Toronto) to the draft, Parker to Athens is HUGE.

Luke was a big part in last nightâs #UGA win. His brand new offensive line underwent tons of change losing 3 starters and their position coach. Luke did a phenomenal job of coming in, keeping his unit focused and making a great first impression. #Dawgs are in good hands with him.
I have so much respect for new âŚ@GeorgiaFootball⊠OL @CoachMattLuke⊠.He could be upset after being let go by Ole Miss. Instead he chooses to get back to work and pour in to others. Much respect sir. Life is what you make it.

What a great story Stetson is. In a world of College Football where players are always looking for greener pastures (& on a day that exemplifies that best), Bennett fought for his opportunity & has made the most of it. Story including quotes from his acceptance speech below âŹď¸.
