Don’t feel bad Dave, they left too in the Kentucky game! We were at least losing then, we still could have put together a drive to tie the game, Maybe if our students faced more adversity in the classroom they could handle it in the real world.

Who will be the next drunk UGAY football player? I heard Mark Richt is taking up drinking so that he can sit by the pool with his players and drink beer at practice this fall.

Seriously….Who really cares about a jersey number??? Why is this relevant to waste anyone’s time with other than the player? Are you writing about jock and shoe sizes next week???

Dwyer was drafted in the 41st round of the NFL draft. That is not bad. His “value” was soley determined on how many yards that he gained vs UGA and Iowa. To be # 41 is generous ……. given the fact that he had 33 yards ( Tony Dorsett’s old number ) vs UGA and 0……..I repeat 0, zilch, nada vs Iowa in the first half of the Urange Bowl.

The Wishbone does not dvelop big boy running backs and this NFL draft humiliation for Tech has exposed the triple option for what it is ………….middle school ball. The big time HS running backs will not go with tech, with this type of gimmick O.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHA,AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHA 30-24 and soon to be 9 out of 10.

Doug Roberson, what rock have you been hiding under…..Eddie Mathews, Hall of Fame, Braves hall of Fame….#41. And I know that you are aware that the greatest lefthander in the history of the game Warren Spahn, wore #21. You need to keep those two numbers locked in. You are obviously a Johnny come lately to sports.
