| 0:00.0 | Today's episode of Dog Nation Daily is brought to you by Dr. Pepper. |
| 0:04.0 | College football and Dr. Pepper. It's a Pepper thing. |
| 0:09.8 | Presented by dognation.com. |
| 0:12.1 | This is Dog Nation Daily, the daily podcast for Georgia Bulldogs fame. |
| 0:16.3 | Here's your host, Brandon Adams. |
| 0:18.7 | We talked about it yesterday as a possibility, and now it is an actuality. |
| 0:23.5 | Georgia is losing its outside linebackers coach. Chidara Yuzo Derribe, as first reported by various |
| 0:30.6 | outlets, I guess close to the Cowboys, also Football Scoop had this, interviewed on Tuesday |
