Having a conversation about Georgia Football with Buck and the “Road Dawg” Adam Gillespie is always enlightening and entertaining. If you missed our exchange on Monday’s Eclipse Edition of Buck and Kincade it was now eye opening.

As you know, I am both feet firmly on the Kirby Smart bandwagon. I have said since Day One of his tenure that at the end of 3 seasons I would be ready to pass judgment as to whether he was going to succeed at Georgia. I don’t waiver on that. This year must show progress, but the final chapter won’t be written in 2017 for me! 

When the rankings came out and the Dawgs were at 15, the boys proceeded to tell me that I was setting them up for failure. They claim it is an agenda to build up the Dawgs and then tear them down! Interesting theory. Full of holes, but interesting none the less! 

The expectations for Georgia Football are set by local and national experts. We discuss them. If Georgia does not live up to their expectations it has nothing to do with me or any other media member. For the record, I believe completely in Kirby Smart. I’m expecting a 10-2 season. If they go 9-3 it can still be progress, but I’ll be less enthused. I consider 10-2 to be how Kirby gets an “A” in Year Two. Period. If he meets expectations it will reinforce my belief. If he fails, that is on him.

Embrace expectations Dawgs fans. I bet he delivers!
