Chip Towers, longtime Georgia beat writer

Chip Towers has covered the Georgia Bulldogs for the better part of 25 years for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Chip joins the podcast to talk his relationship with Kirby Smart (or lack thereof), Smart's strict controls on media access (early in his tenure Smart blocked Chip's attempts to interview Bulldog signees when they were still in high school), and why the Bulldogs haven't yet risen to the level of perennial championship contender under Smart.

Chip also gives his thoughts on the recent allegations by Valdosta high school coach Rush Propst.

And finally, he recounts the bizarre story of Cade Mays' father losing his pinky finger while accompanying his son on a recruiting visit to Athens -- and then using that episode as the reason for Mays' abrupt transfer to Tennessee.
