Hicks to transfer to Florida Gulf Coast

Georgia Tech center Nate Hicks will transfer to Florida Gulf Coast University. After sitting out the 2012-13 season, Hicks will have two years of eligibility remaining.

In two seasons, Hicks averaged 8.6 minutes, 1.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 47 games. With the signing of power forward Robert Carter, Hicks’ role seemed likely to decrease. Hicks’ finalists were Penn, Colgate, Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast, a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference. A member of the academic All-ACC team this past season, Hicks said his relationship with coach Andy Enfield, who recruited Hicks out of Panama City Beach in high school for Florida State, was a considerable factor in his decision.

“It just seemed to me like a place I could succeed,” Hicks said.

However, UOAD, if you would like to see a copy of it, I just sent a “formal” complaint about my poster to somebody a little higher up in the AJC organization.

Whoever received my complaints last week SAID they had done something about it, and yet the jerk keeps showing up again, so obviously they didn’t do anything.

UOAD, if nothing is accomplished as a result of my latest complain, I might be asking you and others to help me out by bombarding that person with complaints. Maybe there is strength in numbers.

Kuch better keep on his game. 3 tied at 11 could make for an UGLY playoff If Kuch makes a mistake.

I think Kuch is one of the most popular players on the tour. Do you hear the chants of “KUCH!!!” on every hole? It was like that at the Masters this year too.

The REAL Supersize (ME) is not Jewish, and it is obvious from the faker’s 6:59 comment that he is not either. No good Jew would ever say anything like that. You are really a PATHETIC excuse for a human being.

SEC getting too much credit.

Tech will have to go to Athens it looks like for the regional.

Maryland has to go the Seattle regional
Virginia Tech to the Knoxville regional
UNC to Athens regional
Tech to the Tuscaloosa regional
FSU to the Los Angeles regional

The 14 teams that will be the SEC has 10 teams in the Tourney. ESPN and NCAA is so SEC lopsided it isn’t even funny.

Making all the ACC teams travel pretty far except the Jackets. We have BAMA the SEC champs at their home. Only 4 ACC teams is a JOKE.

Good year for Georgia golf.

First Bubba wins the Masters now Kuchar wins the Players Championship.

Congrats to Matt …

oh yeah and CPJ still stinks and he cant win the big one.

I hope he stays at Tech forever.

2 – 10 vs Va Tech UGA and the bowl game.

Including 0 for the last 6.

That pop warner offense will only take Tech so far. No big time talent wants to play in that system.

In fact many have as much said so.

See you guys this fall …..
