Saw this and thought it would be a good topic for the Roundtable today. While I was hoping for something non-football related, working the site maintenance and trying to be creative at the same time is a life.
News flash: the top 4 all involve SEC teams.

What say you?
Morning, all. Just giving everyone an update as we navigate back to normal. We’ve tried resetting site plugins and that didn’t seem to have any change in functionality, and we now have a fellow Refugee reach out to help root around the nether regions of the blog to detect gremlins. We’ve likewise experimented with some options to the mother site using the mirror site, which seems to be a possible next step in solutions.
Thanks again for hanging in there. We’re working on it. In the interim, here’s a Georgia pitcher hitting 100 mph on the mound this past weekend:
Go Dawgs!
Evening, everyone. We are running towards the end of our site license with WordPress, so we’re going to start toying with some fixes.
The first attempt will be to route people to the “mirror site” using the current Refugees URL. The goal would be for users to go to the regular URL address but it opens in the mirror site, where most of you tell me that commenting and liking functions work properly. This is the next of our attempts before we go nuclear and just decide to go with a different service/provider.
Our goal is to allow ease in commentary and have the old GTP aesthetic, wherever we should land. Otis and myself aren’t IT guys and none of us got in to this with the idea we would be getting this deep into WordPress, so trust when I say your frustration is ours.
I say all this to say, hang in there with us. If something goes ass up, most of you are subscribers and we can still update you in progress via email, just in case.
Fingers crossed. See you all on the other side.

Honestly, after showing out at the Senior Bowl, this is kind of surprising. (Note…posts duplicated at the mirror site to keep open the discourse until we land on a fix)
Todays discussion point…which Dawg comes to mind as someone you expected to do well in the pros, but didn’t…or didn’t even get a chance?
You can’t have Valentine’s Day without red and white.
Since I recall from a previous post that many of our Refugees universally see today as the most pointless of holidays, enjoy this Valentines Day snark:
Thank you, saturdayinathensga!
For our loyal followers that mentioned they are continuing to have issues commenting here, I’m going to copy and paste the posts from here on the mirror site if you’re missing your commentary and banter with fellow Refugees.
Second…one of our commenters mentioned a while back that they work on fixing gremlins as a vocation and might be able to help. If that’s you, please let me know…you can message me or just comment here and we’ll connect to continue to seek fixes.
Thanks again for your continued patience, JP.
I’ll let #47 kick us off on this one.
Here’s the challenge for today:
Obviously, the focus here will be on Georgia.
BUT, your answer cannot be focused on a coach; rather, what would be the one area you’d like to see Georgia improve upon the most in 2025 that you feel is most crucial to getting us back on track?
I’ll throw my .02 out here: I’d like to see the defensive front seven create more havoc up front to stabilize the secondary a little more…and hopefully result in more positive numbers in the turnover margin category.
Let’s hear it Refugees…
If you’ve got twenty minutes, this podcast with Scott Cochran is worth a listen. Talk about things you never knew were happening behind the scenes.
Let’s take us back to where it kind of all began.
Technically, he was right. There wasn’t a controversy, but there was a bit of a change at the position.
I wonder if Eason would’ve blocked as well as Fromm did for Michel’s game-winning Wildcat run in Pasadena?
What if…what if…
The grass isn’t always greener, right? Try telling that to your Transfer Portal all-stars, particularly guys like DJ Ukelele and Marvin Jones, Jr., for starters.
That aside, today’s Cleanser is brought to you by St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Have you ever wished you could get an old soul band sound, complete with a light horn section, who is fronted by a guy who looks like Dwight Shrute? Well, your prayers have been answered:
Lead by Paul Janeway, the band is a riser in the industry, and according to the NPR article, your eyes and initial impressions don’t deceive you.
“Paul, according to all the reviews and stuff that are written of the band, he looks like your high school history teacher, or he looks like Drew Carey,” Phillips explains. “Bottom line is that we’re a bunch of kind of nerdy-looking white guys, and when this sort of earth-shaking soul roar comes out of his mouth for the first time, you can always hear the air being sucked out of the room.”
Raised in a strict religious household, Janeway dabbled in preaching, singing, and yardwork before hitting it big.
Speaking of time and chance, like the portal, the strict raising may have paid off in the weirdest of ways.
As for his parents, Janeway says that in retrospect he’s glad they were so strict. He remembers a particularly formative moment when his mother found his copy of Nirvana‘s Nevermind.
“She found it and threw it away,” he says. “I told her that story, and she goes, ‘Listen, Paul, if you’d have listened to Nirvana, you wouldn’t have been a soul singer.’ So, I look at it now and go, ‘Well, maybe it’s turned out to be a really good thing.’ “
Choices and chance are uniquely intertwined in the ways of life, are they not?
