For Show 65, Chuck and I discuss your favorite UGA sports outside of football. We cover everything from Women's Gymnastics all the way to Men's Baseball. We talk about who will be looking for work, and who will be expecting raises. 

It's not often that we do a show and never really discuss the inner workings of football, so please take the time to enjoy this "road less traveled" episode. Chuck and I wax Dawg Poetic about your favorite sports that never get the love on the podcast like they truly deserve.

For the 64th episode, Chuck aka chuckdawg and I cover everything UGA football, from recruiting, to G-Day, to the NFL Draft.

The good news? You're getting the Show 64 at 50% off. The bad news? The other 50% is something for which you'll have to wait another week. Turns out that we had so much information to cover, that it seemed a little ridiculous to make it all one episode. 

So, enjoy this first part of The Dawg Gone Podcast, and we'll see you guys next week.

Welcome, kids! In this episode of the Dawg Gone Podcast, we speak about recruiting things, adios King, and dying dreams. For those playing at home, that's Macondawg, T. Kyle King (in his last show), and yes, Erin Murphy.

Kyle, Macondawg, and myself take the time to wax Dawg Poetic about National Signing Day, how it's a good thing to have Todd Gratham be a wanted man, and there should be T-shirts printed with the saying "I signed with Ole Miss and all I got was this lousy stack of cash."

Seriously, it's a pretty dang good show, particularly by having Macondawg on, who just knows recruiting like the back of his hand. Plus, you get the added benefit of hearing Erin Murphy's voice for the FIRST TIME EVER.

You know what the fun thing about sports is? There's always something new going on that makes you say "man, I didn't see that coming." 

For instance, Chuck aka chuckdawg and I wax Dawg Poetic this week about a whole bunch of things, from the Men's Basketball program to the departure of T. Kyle King, but we didn't discuss Manti Te'o's craziness, or Chip Kelly doing his best Nick Saban impression. Some things, you just can't predict, folks.

So what did we discuss? Hard times for the basketball program, tough questions for Greg McGarity, LISTENER-SUBMITTED QUESTIONS (always my favorite), and raises for the football staff. I'd tell you more, but that's why they call them "teasers," folks.

No, really. As much as we'd like to pretend that there's a game on January 1 (and we do care about that game, make no mistake), there are just more pressing things that have gotten our attention as of late.

I know that the common thought is as the UGA fan base goes, so goes the team. If the fan base isn't thinking about Nebraska, then the team probably isn't either. However, this show will prove to you that no matter what we're focused on, this team is all about winning.

Sure, we talk some about the bowl game against Nebraska, but we also wax Dawg Poetic about Rodney Garner leaving, who should replace him, and why can't we just throw money at UGA's problems? Seriously. Also, when I say "we," that includes The Mayor and Chuck, aka Chuckdawg. Yes, it's a two-for-one on this episode, and you deserve it, because you've been good this year, even if it is the day after Christmas.

Yep, it still hurts. It hurts bad. It hurts in ways that I can't describe. Thankfully, I have Kyle on the show this week and he tries to help describe it as we wax Dawg Poetic about this game, our showdown with Nebraska, and why it's time to walk away from the base of the mountain so we can truly appreciate how large the climb was. 

This isn't an apology show. It isn't an "awww shucks" show. It's an honest take on what happened last Saturday, but if you've come here looking for a "Mike Bobo is terrible, we should've spiked it, Mark Richt has got to go" kind of deal, then I can point you to other podcasts that you might enjoy a little better.

Good thing we're playing in Orlando because maybe I'm just too much of a "Disney Dawg." 

I know it may seem ridiculous, but it's worth legitimately asking whether or not this is real life. So, we asked the Roundtable to figure it out for us.

After getting trounced by South Carolina in October, the Dawgs find themselves in a very enviable position by controlling their own destiny towards the National Championship. When you couple that with the similarities of this 2012 team and the 1980 one, it's downright scary how it seems like we've done this all before.

Right now, UGA is playing its best football of the season and is one of the more dangerous teams in America. Much like the 2002 team, we're peaking at the right time, and that happens to be when we're heading to Atlanta. Is this team good enough to topple the Tide? Well, take a listen to this week's episode to find out. 

The Roundtable and I wax Dawg Poetic about how sweet it is to beat Tech by a wide margin (again), being the "1" in Florida's "11-1," what it takes to beat Alabama, and then Kyle blows all of our minds with some 1980/2012 comparisons. Unfortunately, no M*A*S*H references of which I'm aware.

Yeah, you get the idea. This week's show tries its best to keep an eye on the prize, which really is winning the next game at hand, but we do venture into talking some about the BCS, how we ended up in this position, and then circling back around to the game this weekend against the most pathetic excuse for a football program that I've seen in a very, very long time.

Look, is it a secret that I hate Georgia Tech? No, it's not. I have proudly worn that badge since 1999, when I made my first trip up to Georgia Tech as a Redcoat. After one trip, and seeing what that "fan base" is all about, I vowed never to think a kind thought for them ever again.

Sure, not every person that roots for Georgia Tech is bad. However, I fully contend that with that fan base, the person is fine, but the people are stupid. If you put them in large numbers (or maybe prime numbers, who knows?), it's like they lose their mind about what it means to have any sort of class about yourself. They're a joke of a team, program, coaching staff, and fan base if I've ever seen one.

So this week, I have nothing of note to add, other than Tuck Fech, and that I honestly hope this is the last year we ever play them. No, seriously.

There are games you win and there are games you lose. There are also games where you get embarrassed and games where you do the embarrassing. We were the latter of that second statement on Saturday.

This week, Kyle was feeling a little under the weather (he was REALLY bummed we didn't hang 50+ on them), and so we have the ever-capable MaconDawg waxing Dawg Poetic with me about various topics including how awesome Georgia looked against Auburn, how terrible Auburn looked against Georgia, and where Auburn and Tennessee may look for their next head coaches.

It's a great show, but the glory belongs to MaconDawg. He stepped in on a moment's notice and filled in beautifully in his first time joining me on the program in any format other than the roundtable.

You heard right, ladies and gentlemen. Your regularly scheduled Dawg Gone Podcast Presented by Gordo's Cheese Dip has been replaced with a trip back in time when disco was king and the porn mustache was more of a statement than an indictment.

This week Kyle and I wax Dawg Poetic about the Ole Miss drubbing, how much we'll miss Marlon Brown, the suck that is Auburn, and why Brian Van Gorder needs to retire his DVD of "Boogie Nights."

BONUS: This episode packs in 100% more M*A*S*H references than previous shows.
