0:00.0	Today's episode of Dog Nation Daily is brought to you by Mary Weather and Tharp, your source for Georgia divorce.

0:13.1	Presented by dognation.com. This is Dog Nation Daily, the daily podcast for Georgia Bulldogs fame.
0:19.6	Here's your host, Brandon Adam. All right. Coming up in a couple of moments, there is, I believe, an important fact check we need to do based on some chatter that's out there this week on what has been the hottest story, which Dog Nation is right in the center of. We'll get to all of that here coming up in a couple of minutes. Can I begin, though, with something that's really just for fun?
0:38.0	I think I've said this a lot over the years. While I love following the former Georgia players on

1:28.6	champions, there's a big belief and a hope among Georgia fans. The UGA still remains as the top
1:35.7	shelf among the very elite programs in college football, and it can regain the success that it had
1:41.7	as recently as 2022. And when you hear these personnel men associated with NFL teams saying nice things about Georgia,
1:49.2	well, I do think it gives you the confidence and the belief that, yeah, you know what, Georgia is still Georgia.
1:55.8	They may not be the reigning national champs.
