Presented by Dognation.com. This is Dog Nation Daily, the daily podcast for Georgia Bulldogs Day.

Here's your host, Brandon Adam. I think I've mentioned this already, but I want to make sure everybody's aware that today, in some respects, a little bit of a getaway day for me. Tomorrow, which is Friday, then Monday and Tuesday of next week, I'm actually going to be traveling with my family, my daughter, participating in a cheerleading competition, looking forward to being there to support her with that.

So we're going to be doing that a little bit over the course the next couple of days.

We have put together, I think, a pretty good collection of shows to air in our normal time here.

And so I hope you'll support those and be a part of that.

We think that's going to be a fun conversation as I get a chance to support my daughter and be with her and have a good time with all of that.

And in addition, just making you aware of that's what we're doing.

I also say all of that to say this, which is that, you know, it's about the time of year that we need to start making our official on the record predictions as it relates to Georgia.

That's a fun thing to do.

This is around the time where it feels appropriate to do that because I think when you look around the landscape of people who care about college football, media types, fans, whatever else, This is the time that I think that people start

to familiarize themselves a little more with the actual season we're about to have. And the players

and the teams that will matter and the storylines that will matter. People are just getting

a little more acquainted with what all this is supposed to be. So it's probably too soon to do this

in the early part of the winter because you're still figuring out your roster and maybe too soon to do this during spring because you're trying to figure out how those pieces fit together. Well, it's not really too soon anymore. It's about time to do all of that. And this is one of the things that we're going to talk about and do on the shows next week. And one of the points that I'm going to make, which I'll foreshadow a little bit for you right now, is that overall, I'm pretty optimistic about Georgia.

Overall, I feel pretty good about this Georgia team for this year.

And I would invite Georgia fans to feel the same way.

That doesn't mean that everything's perfect.

That doesn't mean you don't have questions. And look, we've tried to be a platform for Georgia fans who have some questions or some critiques or whatever else. We've tried to make that fair game. You are free to say what you want to say coming off a season in which Georgia did win the SEC but didn't advance the college ball playoff. The opinions that you conjure based on the evidence you saw with your own eyes, you're free to formulate that however you want to. But if you are a Georgia fan that would like to be optimistic about the upcoming season, we think there are plenty of reasons to feel that way. And we'll talk about some of those next week, and I think that's going to be really fun. Connor Raleigh, in particular, next Tuesday, is going to help me with some of that.

I think you're going to really like that.

I think that's a really good reason to tune into our shows over the course of the next couple of days.
