Our SID office had been hard hit by attrition this Summer. We will have to be patient. Having said this I don't think it ever comes out before Tuesday anyways.

At least two folks have recently taken jobs elsewhere leaving the office shorthanded.

I have faith that DG will fill the vacancies for the better in the long run, but it takes time. It's the very worst time of year for professional staffers to bail. It puts us in the position of having to wait and make do for a month or rob another program at the very worst time of year. The situation s**ks, but it's just life in every AD's office at our level.

They don't have my number, at least yet, but I'll talk turkey as well.

I was actually hoping their site had our 2 deep posted.

Are you guys just waiting on a depth chart, or is there any other particular info that you expect to hear direct from App?

I like reading the game notes on our guys, plus I like to have a 2 deep and roster with me, especially early in the season until I used to everyone's new numbers and who the new guys are.

Gotcha. Roster is at least available on the website.

I'm curious about the two-deep but I guess most of us could probably put one together ourselves for most positions. I am anxious to see how WR and TE shake out though.

If we do release one it might have a few "ORs" on it anyway.

Yes East, I'm sure we could put a 2-deep together and it will have the "or" in it. It just really baffles me that w/ an athletics dept. that's roughly twice as large staff-wise or more, that we have to go hunting for info on a game against the "biggest" opponent we will face all season. Really not very acceptable.

I agree with AppFan. I don't rely a whole lot on the 2 deep anyway because it's not very accurate. Cox was listed as the starter in most of the games last year when just about everyone knew it was very doubtful he would even dress. Hoping Firemoose can shed some light on the 2 deep.

I could be wrong, but I didn't see a Two-Deep for UGA on their release. I think most coaching staffs are getting very strict on the info they put out.

I agree. Social Media has changed the landscape.
