   The Morning Rant with Dave Garner | Tailgatin' Thursday

   Dave Garner and Will Cooper covered a wide range of sports topics, beginning with Wimbledon, where they discussed Coco Gauff's semifinal match, the challenges of playing on grass, and previewed the men's semifinals while also debating which current summer sports storyline—the World Cup, Wimbledon, MLB, or NBA Summer League—will have the biggest lasting impact. The conversation then shifted to the Atlanta Braves, highlighting their 3-0 win over Pittsburgh, concerns about the team's recent struggles despite remaining atop the division, and a detailed discussion of Austin Riley's continued offensive issues and whether mechanical adjustments can revive his season. The second half of the show focused heavily on high school football, as Will Cooper unveiled preseason projections from the Cooper Predictor, breaking down playoff odds, region favorites, and expected records for North Georgia teams including North Cobb, Sequoia, River Ridge, Creekview, Woodstock, Gilmer, Pickens, Fannin County, North Murray, and Sonoraville, while explaining how strength of schedule and the GHSA power rankings influence playoff probabilities. Overall, the show mixed current sports headlines with in-depth Braves analysis and an early look at the upcoming high school football season.

   The Morning Rant with Dave Garner | Rally Towel Tuesday

   This episode of The Morning Rant was fueled by frustration as Dave Garner and Will Cooper reacted to disappointing performances from both Team USA in the World Cup and the Atlanta Braves. The hosts criticized Team USA's lack of preparation, leadership, and physicality in its loss to Belgium, while also debating how the defeat could impact soccer's growing popularity in America. They also took aim at the Braves' bullpen management, inconsistent offense, and recent slide heading into the All-Star break, questioning whether the team's early-season success was sustainable. The show also featured Dr. Keith Riggy's weekly chiropractic segment on treating bulging discs with spinal decompression, updates on local restaurant inspection scores, news about WPGY becoming the home of Alabama Crimson Tide football, and plenty of spirited listener interaction and classic Morning Rant humor throughout.

[…] But 12 of the last 14 years, an 11 -seeded play in team has made it to the sweet 16 or further. And so for me, that was the winner of the Texas North Carolina State game was going to be that team. Texas beat them the other night in a close game. And then, of course, last night, they beat BYU. And I'll be honest with you, man, I kind of like Texas, I think, against Gonzaga in the second round. I mean, you know, we'll see. We'll see what happens. I know you're shaking your head there. But Kennesaw State, you know, they were without their best player. One of Kennesaw State. And again, that's, I'm an alum, Pratt alum of KSU. […]
