Finch still out; Jackson could return Thursday

Greetings-

A couple notes for you.

1. Neither center Jay Finch (lower leg) nor guard Will Jackson (neck) practiced again Wednesday. Jackson is expected to return Thursday. Coach Paul Johnson told reporters after Wednesday’s practice that Finch will have to return to practice by early next week in order to play in next Thursday’s game against Virginia Tech.

“We think he’s got a chance,” Johnson said of Finch. “He gets better every day, so we’ll see.”

2. Players will be released after Friday’s morning practice, which will start at 6 a.m, and won’t have to report back until Sunday evening. The team will have practices Monday and Tuesday.

“A lot of guys haven’t been home for 13 weeks,” Johnson said. “Some of them want to go home to see their high schools play. They need to get away a little bit.”

Thanks for reading. Please follow on Facebook and Twitter.

There are some specific issues with the content, but I’m not going to point them out. Let them deal with the lawyers.

I just turned the FSU at BC game. Looks like the snow is gone from the NorthEast. FSU is running the triple option with the QB in the shotgun and 2 halfbacks right beside him.

I was watching that too Delbert, but it doesn’t look like much of a game. Switched to “The Quick and The Dead”

Just JUMPING IN. I had a GREAT Day and talked a LIL crap on the GA blog to respond.

Guys Hate ME love ME but I hope to see Dilbert D, SUPERSIZE, GIVE ME. and more at the Bus before the VT game. SOrry Guys TOMMY moved the Yearly FISH FRY to last weekend for the Clem&Sons game. it turns out TECH wouldn’t let him get their early enough to get the Fish Fry done.
I want to see you guys too. It should be a HotDog & Hamburger cookout. it is free. The FISH FRY was free too. I am sorry if that was not clear. If you come you don’t OWE a thing, but if you WISH to give Tommy a buck or 2 he would treat your gesture with respect. He probably will not take it but that is WHAT IT IS.

Bottom Line

If you are caught smoking pot at UGA you are suspended.

If you are caught at Tech you are not.

There is no disputing those facts.

I can DROP my Pi Kappa Phi #)^ card and move right to the SMOKE room. All colleges have them. The Diff is PLAYERS are getting the WHITE BOOSTERS to pay for the SLAVES to Play Ball and have some EXPATIATIONS for the money they pay………………..RUN FORREST RUN…………….Or STUPID is as STUPID does.

Hey, headley, what happens when you make and sell (or buy) fake ID’s at UGA? I understand there were about 300 students who just got caught there—-probably more by now.

Headley, what kind of institution are you guys running over there in Athens? Homeless man assaults students, football players being suspended, academic scandals, and now HUNDREDS (if not thousands) of students caught up in a major fake id ring http://athens.11alive.com/news/news/88969-major-fake-id-investigation-uga

Guess I can’t blame y’all. If I was from Georgia, I’d do anything possible to avoid discussing actual football.

Maybe y’all can debate who has the sexiest uniforms?

don’t know the rules, but remember Dweberry being suspended the bowl game because his former buds at uga squealed on him-had a receiver suspended before a bowl game for being in a car driven by a dui/thc until he passed his drug test-last straw for me with chan was playing huston…….

@ ID theft master–

Funny since Yech has daily muggings, the NCAA busted Yech in a huge academic scandal and Yech owns one of the most humilating academic scandals in history wuth their corrupt computer science department. Not to mention only Yexh had a former coach that was arrested for DUI, open container, hit and run and weed.

Care to try again little fella ;)

Joey Hamilton. Your wannabe Heisman winner. Assistant director of player personnel which made his pisition even more impactful than just being a coach since he could have surrounded himself with scumbags which were just as trashy as he is.

Funny that was the only FACT I posted that you took issue with.

Did some idiot talk about terrorists on page one when the criminals at the trade school have trained no telling how many terrorists in bomb making???? Everything about this cesspool of an institute is unAmerican.

The issue was my shoes. These were, err, shall we say, old and beat upward. That little detail shouldn’t matter a lot of, I thought. Who looks at shoes anyways?
