Crowell’s recruitment aside, Washaun Ealey did this to himself (Update III)

Washaun Ealey is in a deep hole with coach Mark Richt.

Washaun Ealey is in a deep hole with coach Mark Richt.

(UPDATED AT 7 p.m. with Mark Richt statement.)

For the past two months at least — or since about the time most believed Georgia would land running back Isaiah Crowell in recruiting — there have been rumors that Washaun Ealey might transfer to Georgia Southern.

But what happened Tuesday when Ealey was suspended indefinitely isn’t about Crowell. It’s about Ealey –and maybe a little about coach Mark Richt.

Ealey has been inconsistent as a player,which is why the Bulldogs so desperately needed to land Crowell on national letter of intent day. But the more significant issues with the sophomore relating to his future in Athens have been off the field. Ealey’s arrest for a hit-and-run incident last summer — after multiple warnings about driving with a suspended license — infuriated Richt.

Rumors have been flying for the past 24 hours that Ealey last week missed a “punishment run,” which are handed out for things like missing tutoring sessions. Rumors morphed into conclusions that Ealey was kicked off the team. If that’s true, nobody is saying it. Georgia’s official response for now is only that Ealey is still on the team.

UPDATE: Here’s a statement from Richt:

“We have certain expectations and standards that apply to all our student-athletes. We expect them to do things the right way, the Georgia way. If Washaun does things the Georgia way, he’ll be back in good standing.”

But Ealey might want to take this as a hint, and transfer. He has two years of eligibility left and he’s in a pretty deep hole with Richt. Working his way out of that now might be impossible and transferring might be his best option. Richt has become increasingly “tough on crime” in the past year, which is a good sign.

Since signing day, we’ve learned to what lengths Richt went to land Crowell. Debbie Crowell, the player’s mother, confirmed to our Steve Hummer that Richt had Georgia players line up in an offensive formation in the new indoor practice facility during Crowell’s official visit. The only vacant position was running back. An excerpt from the story:

The 18-year-old and his family were shown to Richt’s new office, overlooking the recently completed indoor practice facility. As they visited, the Crowells noticed activity down below. Players began filing onto the practice field.

“We got up and looked out,” said Debbie Crowell, Isaiah’s mother. “I didn’t know what was going on, but Isaiah could tell that they were getting into formation. And there wasn’t a tailback.”

The stage was set. Richt escorted the family down to the field. Crowell was handed a Georgia jersey — No. 1 on the back — and a helmet and asked if he wanted to take that empty spot in the backfield. Debbie Crowell remembers Richt painting the scene of next season’s opener against Boise State, asking her son if he could see himself in that jersey and helmet, behind that offensive line, starting his career in the din of the Georgia Dome.

“Yes, sir, I can,” Isaiah said.

“My baby was excited. He was ready to go,” Debbie said.

Assuming Ealey learned of that, he couldn’t feel too great about his future in Athens.

Another running back, Caleb King, has been a disappointment and rumors of his exit also have circulated. The difference is that King has only one season of eligibility remaining and it might not be worth it to transfer.

When Richt recruited Crowell, he told him to imagine himself as Georgia’s starting running back. The coach then went public after his signing, saying Crowell could be “carrying the rock” as the starting back in the opener against Boise State.

But this is not all about Crowell’s potential. It’s about the way Ealey has imploded. There was a time it was his job to lose — and he lost it.

My question is will it hurt the Dawgs if Ealey transfers or is booted from the team? I would think not but you can never predict injuries or bust for that matter. Georgia fans should just hope Crowell is as good as everyone thinks he will be.

But haven’t all of yall loudmouth folks been screaming for Richt to get tougher on players? This is the chance for Ealey to transfer to Southern and make all parties happy. I think that Caleb can stay and make it work if he can stay out of trouble and learn to hold on to the ball. Not only do we have Isaiah coming in, but also the guy we redshirted last year that word was that Richt was close to taking the redshirt off him to put him in.

I just can’t help but wonder if Ealey would still be suspended, and possibly kicked off, had Crowell chosen to go somewhere else.

so he does not show up for punishment? Then he might decided not to show up for case. Or he might decide to drive without his license again.

He is not off the team yet, but looks like he might be on his way out. Heck like Branden Smith play too way as starting safety and backup RB with King ( if he sticks it out) and Crowell and Thomas and then if Ealey cannot or will not follow the rules and the punishment for breaking them…send him on his way to his next destination.

I hope for Washaun’s sake that he will learn from this mistake and be better for it. People need to realize that this is a young man’s life we’re talking about. First of all, i hope he changes for HIS sake to become a better person. Secondly, i hope this will make him a more productive player for the dawgs.

We will learn alot about him during this suspension. Either he will learn from it and become better or he will quit. Either way the Dawgs will be better for it.

This doesn’t surprise a single observer of the UGA program.

Word is now that upperclassmen are not reacting positively (aka, using it as motivation) of the heralded “Dream Team”. Coaches pretty much threw the current roster under the bus for those guys.

And if you were a tailback, and a coach got your teammates to line up information without you to show a high schooler how bad they want him, would you feel the need to give anything back to the team?

Richt threw the current team under the bus for 25 18 year olds where only 3 will get noticeable playing time.

I love the direction things are going haha.

Bring on the Yellow Jackets to tell us what a Thug he is, and how Richt has lost control of the program…..

As a VERY realist Dawg fan I think getting rid of Ealey would be a positive thing for the program. We need a hammer to drop on immaturity and what better example than now.

I expect Caleb King (assuming he gets his act together) to take the first snap of 2011, and Crowell to be taking majority of snaps by week 4. Ken Malcolm, will get a few here and there.

And finally, only the Yellow Jacket dorks expect the “Dream Team” recruiting class to have major impact this year. They are salivating uncontrollably to point to it at the first hiccup from the Dawgs. But thr people in Athens, such as myself, who truly understand how college football works, know that the class brought in will not truly be felt until 2012 at the earliest.

Richt….. Do what you have to do with Ealey. Nobody will be upset if it’s harsh.

With all the problems UGA had in recent years with player “responsibility”, the suspension of Ealey is not the way to start off 2011.

It appears UGA has recruited a lot of players lacking any sense of responsibility. I trust the 2011 class is an exception to what has become the rule.

WinderDawg

February 8th, 2011
11:11 am

Hopefully this class of incoming freshmem will be the new standard of recruits. Seems that we’ve been recruiting too many “project” kids, those with talent but questionable attitudes / work ethics. Project = those who Richt’s trying to save, not where they are from.

I’m tired of seeing the names of UGA athletes in the newspaper every week. Find some guys who have respect for authority, can remember whether or not they have a license to drive, and want to play for UGA because it’s THEIR school!

But we can not wait or begin with the incoming class; those players who are already here must be held accountable to the highest standards of conduct both on and off the field; those incoming players will be looking to the upperclassmen as mentors and role models and those guys must provide the right kind of leadership; I have not read about any of our current basketball players or other student-athletes in the paper; let’s get our house in order … I want our football teams … all of our teams … to win and be successful on the field; but it is imperative that we be winners off the field by showing character and class …

Winning with student-athletes of questionable character is not acceptable; Losing with student-athletes of questionable character will not be tolerated; I would rather lose with young people doing things the right way and giving their best effort rather than win with young people who choose not to act or conduct them selves properly.

Sooner or later, playing with young people that you can not count on to do the right thing will result in bad consequences for everyone involved with a team or program.

Your “Dream Team” was business as usual for 7-8 teams ahead of you in the rankings, all with better coaching staffs. And the dream is gone once Richt flames out this season.

February 8th, 2011
11:14 am

Richt has been letting everyone do as they please for the last 2-3 years, and now that he’s on the hot seat, he suddenly wants to hold kids accountable. Where was this last year and the year before? He should have been running the program like this all along. I think it’s too late for him though. Another season right around .500 will cost him his job.

I also believe that the way Richt recruited Crowell was a little over the top and a slap in the face to the other backs. He’s pretty much given him the job on a platter, with only his high school film to support him. Now he may be a great runner in the long run, and I hope he will be, but come on man! What does it say to the rest of your guys when you parade a kid out there like that?

I hope Washaun turns this around as he is a good football player, despite what everyone is saying. Some of you same people were behind him 2 years ago just like you are Crowell now.

Let’s face it. Some people are not cut out for college. Ealey is a decent college running back. Maybe he’s a decent person — I’ve witnessed him interact with fans and there’s the story about helping that bus driver. Nonetheless, his actions indicate that his intellectual ceiling has been found. He’s like the guy sitting on his roof in a flood who keeps telling rescuers that he’s waiting on God to send him help. No more lifelines in Athens, Washaun. Time to go.

He’s just suspended, not kicked off the team. Some of you need to get off your high horse. Obviously he did something to get a punishment run. After all the other stuff he did, including lying to the head coach’s face, he’s lucky he’s still here. Two years and he still barely knows how to pass block, that’s the only reason King was a starter. He’s not that great a runner anyway.
And if Murray or Crowell got into as much trouble as Ealy (and didn’t do their jobs well), hell yes, they would be suspended too.

Also Dawg fans… if you want CMR to kick him off, understand that it may cost us a win or two next season. You cannot have your cake and eat it too!

The possibility of not having King and Ealey should be pretty scary for UGA fans though. Nobody has any idea if Crowell will be good and what if he gets hurt? Seems like a pretty risky situation and a lot of pressure on a guy who has never played a down of college football.

I believe they will welcome these guys just the way they were when they were highly recruited. It is the same process every year. This year just happen to have a slogan with it!

Ealey would’ve posted back to back 1,000 yd seasons if he were not sharing carries. However,it says a lot when he threatens to transfer if UGA signs Crowell. Are they supposed to wait until he leaves before they sign another back?!?! Pay for his bus ticket and help him back. UGA football was around long before he got here and will be around long after he’s gone.

I would rather have a team that is respectful, folllows the rules, and learns to be good men, then a team that wins more with out of control guys.

And in terms of John Jenkins, unless he goes out into coverage, have fun stopping the two-three run plays BSU actually runs.

For all the people saying Richt would never do this to his favorite player… When was the last time Murray got in any trouble? Last I remember, NEVER. That’s why Murray is Richt’s favorite, he keeps his butt in line and works hard. Can you say that about Mettenberger? King? Ealey? No. To say this is favoritism is completely stupid. All of these players have had their chances (too many in my opinion). And if the message was not clear before, these kids have bigger problems than getting kicked off a football team.

Heck no, don’t kick him off the team. I’d like to see Ealey get his act together, grow up a bit, and work his way back into CMR’s good graces, and also live up to his potential. I think he still can be an exceptional back, help the Dawgs big-time, and also get his life pointed in a better direction.
I’m kinda surprised to see people so eager to kick him to the curb. Ditto on all this for Caleb King. My sense is that the same people trashing Ealey and King also have been inclined to trash the recently departed O-line coach and the O-line itself. I want to see Crowell and all of these guys running behind our massive “new” fullback, an improved O-line, and an O-line coach who actually wants to be at Georgia, and who isn’t keeping one eye on that godawful burnt-orange university that shall not be named. I want all of them to take to that maniacal new coach and traitorous former Dawg at that swamp-dwelling university that also shall not be named, and to that equally traitorous former Athenian and Bulldawg namesake at the other university with an equally horrendous orange hue.

As a firm believer in pre-destination, and a guy who does not believe players have free will, I have to conclude this whole incident was pre-determined hundreds of years ago.

There’s nothing any player can do to change it.

Wow. Just read all the posts from UGAG fans trashing King and Ealy.

Just a couple of years ago, these VERY SAME UGAG fans were heralding these two
RBs as the arrival of the Messiah.

And now, UGAG fans are throwing King and Ealy under the bus,
with the…OBVIOUS…PR-machine orchestrated message of:
“They did it to themselves.”

Really? Will ALL of the other players arrested over the
past 3 years…be run out of the program too?

And yet, here we are with the VERY SAME UGAG fans saying the VERY SAME thing about Crowell.

You see, what this clearly demonstrates for the all world to see,
is what a bunch of hypocrites UGAG fans are.

But, I digress. There’s nothing new here.

No. Let’s just take a quick stroll down
memory lane to see what UGAG’s legacy is:

Here’s a time-honored and memorable quote from the esteemed
Dr. Leroy Ervine (Jan Kemp’s boss at UGA):

And I quote:

“Now, you talk about [how] these kids are not taught in high school. They aren’t. We try to teach them here, but there is no way to do it. I know for a fact that these kids would not be here if it were not for their utility to the institution. There is no real sound academic reason for their being here other than to be utilized to produce income. They are used as a kind of raw material in the production of some goods to be sold…and they get nothing in return….”

So, just to repeat for clarification, Ervine said:

“There is no real sound academic reason for their being here
other than to be utilized to produce income.”

And, if THATS not bad enough, try this one, from
former UGA President Fred Davision, who was forced
to resign in disgrace:

Georgia president Fred Davison similarly tried to justify the university’s recruitment practices by saying, “We have to compete [with rival schools] on a level playing field.” Referring to Georgia athletes, Davison also said: “If they leave us being able to read, write, communicate better, we simply have not done them any damage.”

Davison, whose dismissal was called for Sunday in an editorial in the Athens Banner-Herald/The Daily News, testified that it was theoretically possible to offer scholarships to revenue-producing athletes—i.e., football and basketball players—even if they achieved a minimum 400 score on their SAT tests, while non-revenue-producing athletes had to score at least 650. Asked if the standards were lower for revenue-producing athletes because they made money for the school, Davison said, “If you want to ask me if they have utilitarian effect to the university, certainly they do.”

Lastly, who can forget this gem, from UGA Alum attorney, Hale Almand:

And I quote: “We may not make a university student out of him, but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbage man when he gets through with his athletic career.”

You see folks:

THIS…is what UGAG is REALLY all about.

THIS…is UGAG’s Legacy.

Ealy and King only just now discovered it.

odd to hear a cradle to grave ga tech fan say it, but the school ought to represent the state better than they have the last few years. besides the uga fans whine worst of all about their team when it doesnt go well. i am tired of it and hope they turn it around next year.

senoiadawgs

February 8th, 2011
12:11 pm

I for one can see Ealy’s talent running the rock. I hope for society and the Dawg nation Ealy would choose to stay and Mark Richt can show he can turn a bad apple into a good one. Washaun would grow as a man much more taking the punishment and growing as a man. For those that say these are just kids, that’s crap. You, I and all the other college kids made choices when we were that age. Yes some were bad however we all learned from those choices. It appears there are some on the team who think they are untouchable and want to remain a 5 yr old forever.

Now on to the other beef I have with some of the posts. You do anything within the rules to get a player that you deem to be great. So what if Richt lined up Crowell in the backfield. If I were Crowell I would have looked at Richt’s past and said realistically what chance do I have to play as a freshman. History tells us not a very good chance unless injury occurs. Richt does not like playing freshman for a variety of reasons which I do not understand. With all of that being said I personally think Crowell was crazy to choose UGA if he was looking at PT as a factor early in his career. Now to those that think this hurt the precious upperclassmen feelings, if anything is should have told Ealy, King, Thomas, Malcolme, etc… things are changing around here. I am going to have to work my butt off to get on the field I am not entitled any longer. If I want to live my dream of playing in the NFL I have to be on the field and I must change now. For that matter every guy except for the new recruits should realize my position is really at stake and i’ll be D$%N if some freshman is coming in here and taking my spot. I am going to work my tale off in the weight room, practice field, classroom and not get my license suspended so I am playing on Sat. not some little freshman. This is what all of the upperclassman should be saying and thinking.

It is interesting to read about Ealey because of the parallel to Crowell. Both were highly regarded coming out of high school. Ealey behaved badly in the playoffs, spitting on an opponent. Crowell behaved badly on the sidelines during the playoffs. Ealey went on to lose that game, the finals of “A” class. Crowell went on to lose that game as well, the semi-finals of the “AA” class. Ealey got to UGA and behaved badly because he had a feeling of entitlement and thought the rules did not apply to him. How do you create this mentality? By doing things like making upper classmen line up in formation leaving a spot open for a high school recruit. How do you think those upper classmen felt, especially the running backs. Every team I’ve played on or heard of the freshmen were treated as scum of the earth until they proved otherwise on the field. Crowell will go to UGA thinking he is annointed the team savior and will behave accordingly. That’s how you create a prima donna. Ealey is Richt’s creation.

UGA must show off the Fulmer Cup with pride, they have nothing else. Oh except for years and years of “top” recruiting classes and champion dog inbreeding awards. Do they have dog shows for inbred dogs? :D

Personally, I am so happy we have the AFCA National Championship trophy on our campus next to Cam’s Heisman and my Lombardi Award Trophy. Man, it’s so much fun over here I hate to run off to the NFL as the #1 pick in the draft but the money is just too good and I don’t have to deal with cheaters who coordinate their chop blocks on me, which failed every time, and then start fights and empty their sidelines, all against NCAA rules, and make the SEC look bad.

Ealey, hasn’t been kicked off the team. He is suspended from participating in TEAM activites. Since none of us were in the meeting between Richt and Ealey all we can do is speculate. This is a wake up call for him to clean up his act.

Some of you haters have no idea how absurd you sound.

Where does it say Ealey’s scholarship has been revoked? If Coach Richt did not kick him off the team, then he would be called the same old soft Richt. Crowell did not cause this, Waushan caused this. I guess Caleb King’s academic troubles are Crowell’s fault also.

We have a problem with the running backs no doubt and if Ealey cant shape up then ship him out. King has disappointed too. Which leads to my question, can Bryan McLendon handle his job as running back’s coach? He too is a kid and I dont think his running backs respect him. We need more hard nosed coaching in Athens. McClendon’s performance needs to be evaluated. As running backs coach he is only responsible for five or six players and none of them performed well on the field and the two starters stayed in trouble last year. It is time for McLendon to shape his troops up.

It’s the off season. Time of UGA criminal activity to pick up. What’s the over/under for number of dawgs to have a run in with the law and/or be suspended for some period of time? Based on recent history, it has to be close to an even dozen.

Hmmmm. How many players do they have?

Or how many points will they score toward the 2011 Fulmer Cup award, here are the rules according to wikipedia:

Points are scored for each charge received by players. (Players must be on the team roster at the time of the offense). The scoring for the Fulmer Cup is imprecise — murder is 5 points; rape, bestiality, and grand larceny are 4 points; assault et al. are 3; drug possession et al. are 2; and misdemeanors are 1 point.[2] Bonus points are awarded for arrests that occur under interesting and unusual circumstances.

In order to be eligible to win the Fulmer cup, a school must have more than one player charged. In other words, a school may not win the cup on the basis of a single player’s criminal record. This is known as the Ellis T. Jones III rule, after the San Jose State wide receiver who in 2006 was charged with 13 felony counts, including robbery, assault, and kidnapping; accumulating 31 points.
Past winners

* 2006: Marshall University
* 2007: University of Illinois
* 2008: University of Alabama
* 2009: University of South Florida[3]
* 2010: University of Georgia[4]

What’s the over/under on Ealey playing for UGA in the BOI game? I say, he plays. It’s UGA. They always let you off the hook.

Oversigning

February 8th, 2011
12:21 pm

Dawg fans better hope this Crowell kid ends up being everything he is cracked up to be cause it looks to me like the dawgs are pretty thin at tb. Ealey is obviously much better than King but it looks like Richt is running him off to make room since Georgia oversigned.

I see a pattern here. Georgia oversigns, brings in a highly touted player, and Richt uses one missed run as an excuse to run a player off the team to make room on the roster. In other words Richt “cut” the player. Sound familiar? Looks like Logan Gray got run off the team too since he isn’t going to be the starter. Maybe we need to look a little more deeply into Richt and his running players off- “cutting them” to make room for other players since Richt oversigned this year.

Now some of these moronic dawg fans may something stupid like a player or 2 transferred(really they’re being cut) which makes room or they may say a few players enrolled early so it won’t count against the official class that enrolls in the fall. But isn’t that exactly why Saban and other coaches oversign- cause of transfers and early enrollees who won’t count against the class? Looks like the Georgia hypocrisy is in full gear.

For all of you idiots condemning Richt for telling the kid he could start day one… get your facts straight. He didn’t gaurantee Crowell anything. And I will bet anyone that he will not start against BSU. He said, “imagine yourself as Georgia’s starting running back.” He will be there for 4 years that doesnt mean he has to start all 4. Also, Richt quoted in his NSD press conference that Crowell “might” get the ball on opening day with all of these other RB issues… Nonetheless he is going to have to work, and prove himself to earn that chance. As for Ealey, as much as I would love for him to get his act together and graduate at UGA, he’s had multiple screw ups and opportunities to turn it around. Don’t see it happening, make the thug an example and send him packing

Well Ealey needs to do some serious thinking about what he wants. He has had every opportunity to be the man in Athens and he has been closer to being the thug. If he stays, he needs to know that he has to work his way out of the “s***house” to get back into the dawghouse with his team mates. If he does not want to make that effort, then he would be better off to move on. Caleb and Washuan should be on the second or scout team this spring and fall, if they want to try to earn a spot on the regular team, not as starters unless they earn it.

Cofan: What has Richt done that was so improper and/or unfair?
-Figgins got suspended for violation of team rules. He got 6 months b/c, apparently, the lesson didn’t take hold the first time he was suspended for violation of team rules. I’m not going to refer to what the specific violations were b/c nobody really knows except those closely assocated w/ the program. Any info beyond that is based merely on rumor.
-King got plenty of reps, even after Ealey arrived on campus. Ealey didn’t even get a rep until the LSU game. So, I fail to see the validity of that point.
-Some people have accused Richt of employing the same tactic w/ the Mett/Murray situation. Mett had to be kicked off the team. The same people would be accusing Richt of letting “the inmates run the asylum” if Richt had not taken a hard disciplinary line.

The point is that these players do it to themselves. If they were doing what they were supposed to be doing, they would be in a position to compete for the starting job. Instead, when an elite recruit shows up on campus, they respond poorly and get in trouble. Ealey has no one but himself to blame. Show up for your punishment run; it’s simple. While he likely doesn’t deserve to be kicked off the team for this, he certainly should be on an extremely tight leash after this.

As for posters claiming that Richt is soft on players the team needs, I say look at the Montez Robinson situation. That’s an elite player that we needed badly last year: a big outside linebacker. Instead, we suffered through poor depth at the position all season long.

As for those claiming that Murray wouldn’t receivve the same treatment: there is no evidence that Murray ever engages in this sort of conduct. EVER. He does what he’s supposed to do.

08:23 AM ET 02.08 | Nothing like getting a jump on recruiting. Lane Kiffin made news last year when, shortly after being hired at USC, he offered a scholarship to David Sills, then a seventh-grade quarterback from Delaware. Sills made a verbal commitment to the Trojans and started for Red Lion Christian Academy last season as an eighth-grader. Sills’ Southern California-based private quarterback coach, Steve Clarkson, caused a minor stir Monday when he told The Times that Auburn had offered Sills a scholarship. … Said Sills’ father: “David was not offered by Auburn,” the elder Sills said in a phone interview. “We have a very good relationship with their coaches. They all know he wants to go to USC.”

Richt’s psychodrama to lure Crowell to Athens is probably the poorest display of leadership since Richt ordered the team to dance in the end zone in the UF game. It illustrates Richt’s double standard. Richt has not toughened up on bad behavior. He has coddled starting players while dismissing those who are less talented for lesser offenses to free up scholarships. Ealey and King are entitlement personified, and it is probable that Crowell will turn out the same. Since Richt wants to be on the “cutting edge” of football coaches, he should begin by reading about Vince Lombardy. Richt has shot himself, and the “dream team” in the foot, and the season hasn’t even started.

It;s about time that CMR has started clearing out the troubled players and making room for incoming talent. Saban does it all the time. If a player is not contributing to the team, show him the door. There is too much talent to recruit to put up with underperforming troublemakers. It is time that the players at UGA understand that they can be replaced with someone that actually wants to play football without getting into any trouble. Personally I think suspending him is a waste of time and we can use the spot for the next recruiting class. There are definately better RBs to bring into the program that will make an immediate contribution to the program.

I just hate to put too much pressure on a true freshman. I’m thinking more and more that there’s something special happening with the development of the other RB that redshirted last year (can’t remember his name-starts with an M) and I wouldn’t be surprised to see King out soon as well. Free up some schollies for kids that are serious about coming to Athens to work their tails off to take advantage of a great opportunity. I would like to see them both transfer to GA Southern to help the cousin university and see if they can keep their noses clean and humble their arses at the same time.

Murray had a bad game against UF . . . as a freshman QB . . . against a group of stellar DBs. Yet he still kept it a close game. And he threw for over 300. Do you really think it would have been wise to pull him out and put in Mason? Not to mention, it’s important to give your QB a vote of confidence. All young, QBs are going to have bad games from time to time. That’s hardly favoritism.

Ealey’s fumbles were unacceptable. And we at least had SOME experience behind him.

Some people say that Richt played favorites w/ Thomas Brown, that Richt was delusional in thinking that Brown was his new Dunn. Brown was a good back. And he was extremely productive in the 2007 GT game, especially when compared to Moreno’s largely ineffective rushing performance. Depth and rotation are good things, especially at RB. QB is a much different situation, though.

I recently had a conversation with a former UGA player that played in the 2002-2004 season, this young man is from Florida was one of those 4 star recruits. From this conversation, I gathered that this young man cared nothing for Mark Richt or UGA. Now this is nothing against Mark Richt, from what the young man was saying, Mark Richt was trying to make a positive influence on the young mans life. But, I bet there are many more like him on the UGA roster now. That is why this is a wasted of a year for UGA with Mark Richt at the helm. We need someone to clean the trash out of the program. You can’t save someone who does not want to be saved. These young men don’t want to be saved. Thery are making their own decisions. We will have to take a farther step back to move forward. 6-7 last year should have been the starting point. The point to start over. Mark Richt must go. He is not the man to bring the program back, because some his recruits who are bad examples of men are the reason the program is down. On the collegiate level you will win more with a group of less talented good young men that believes in team work than with more talent that does not play like a team. These recruits that UGA is getting in now do not understand what the saying means when we say ‘Georgian By Birth A Georgia Bulldog By The Grace Of God”.

There’s no excuse for a CFB Player to half-A$$ it when it come to conditioning & FB-related activities.

Ealey is getting what he deserves for being lazy & stupid, but lazy & stupid doesn’t make you a thug, when so many weasely, wussified GT fans throw around the “thug tag” at opposing SAs it comes across as “semi-racist” to outsiders.

Misdemeanor moving violations doesn’t make anyone a thug, yet GT fans are always the first to throw around that label, it makes GT Fans look like wusses and is embarrassing for those GT fans that are “normal”.

I personally believe Georgia could have an awesome 1-2 punch with Isaiah Crowell and Carlton Thomas, who’s been behind Ealey and King.

Haha. I still remember when dawg fans still believed this. I hope the best for Crowell, but I also wish him good luck if things don’t pan out. You can come in with all the hype in the world, but if you don’t produce on the field, these fans will turn into a pack of rabid dogs (pardon the pun).

We are about to be caught desperately thin at RB. Crowell,Thomas and Malcome for next year looks possible, and two of three have never played college ball, and Thomas, big heart and all, has showed us so far why he was allowed to be recruited out of Florida. Air Georgia here we come.

Also , last year during the season many players commented on Ealeys poor attitude and lack of effort during practice,so its not a surprise that he has finally received discipline related to a “me first attitude”. I hope this is a wake up call and he turns things around.

Look you can’t expect these come in and love UGA like fans do. Our culture has changed, this isn’t 1980 anymore. What we can and should expect is the young men to come in and work hard. To lead by example and to represent the University on and off the field the right way.

Ealey clearly has a problem with his maturity and problems with authority. This is not only a reflection of CMR,but also a realization of who failed to instill in him these essential values growing up. Ealey along with many other student athletes learn that often working hard is not required of them- on and off the field. CMR has his work cut out for him in changing a 18 year olds perception of work by the tim he gets to Athens.

CMR while not perfect, is addressing these issues. Maybe not to our speed or liking but certainly addressing them. We can be revisionist of history, but that gets us no where as a fanbase. Solidarity should be the message for the offseason for the fans, and the players just need to keep there head down and work hard. It will take a dillegent effort on both ends for 2011 to head forward on a positive note.

Overall it looks to me as though many of the current and upcoming college athletes have bought into the athlete worship of today’s society. You can see from the high school level (heck, even the rec leagues) all the way up through the pros. I’m afraid that until we move away from the celebrity worship of today we will have a difficult time dealing with those that feel entitled to do what ever they please regardless of the rules. Unfortunately, those people that have that entitlement (of all races) overshadow the folks that do work hard and are upstanding citizens such as Warrick Dunn. Yes he gets some good PR out of it but the way he helps needy families is great. I’m sure there are many others but he comes to mind.

THIS ISSUE is about Washuan Ealey. HE made his choices and it is not beyond his control, or then, maybe it is now beyond. Folks ……………… in life you live with your decisions.

If he leaves on his own ……………. that comfirms that he lacked the necessary ingredients of being a real man. He ran, instead of competing.

How many chances do you get at UGA? If Richt is serious about turning things around, he’ll get rid of Ealey. He is not worth the headache. Sure it may hurt the team a bit to lose a RB of his talent but after a while, his actions will hurt the team. Miles dumped Perrilloux after knuckleheaded stuff like not attending class and showing up late to meetings. Take note Richt, sometimes the right call is the hardest one to make.

Ealy is the same guy with several CRITICAL goaline fumbles this last year not to mention the suspension he had at the beginning of the the season. If he missed a discipline run workout because he missed a mandatory workout session this is the attitude that needs to be fixed, and if he is being made an example so be it this “just getting by, self-entitled” attitude is why Georgia had a losng record last year. also, If any current player has a negative attitude towards the new weight room regime or the “Dream Team” talk in regards to new incoming competition, they are in the wrong place to begin with. You better believe Boise St. is hoping the UGA team they saw lose to UCF, shows up in Atlanta.

Coaching Values

February 8th, 2011
1:21 pm

Many people have expressed opinions and there is truth to all of them. Some of the players have bad morals and much of this has been overlooked by coaches, fans and others. Some schools seem to have stricter codes to go by, but mostly standards are set by the coaches. What bothers me the VERY most is the stage set up by Coach Richt herding in the players and pointing out they were missing a tailback to Crowell and his family and would he like to have that spot. That was nauseating and if I had a son on that team or was being recruited by GA , I would use all my influence to get him away from that coach.

UGA needs to hire him a crew of African American Mama’s like me that will do a “background” check when the players act up. I promise you one good “background” check and they would become tight rope walkers. That is the problem. The pickings are really slim because the last few decades of players have been brought up in the “no spanking” homes and the “just talk and reason” homes and the kids are coming to college pure nuts. While I am on the subject of behavior, did it every occur to any of you that ADHD and other behavior issues did not become common until after parents became weaklings and spankings were taken out of the schools. Now I know there will be a lot of flack from parents that have failed to discipline their children on this statement but it is true. UGA has the ADHD kids that have received no discipline and now they have no self descipline. Let me know coach. I can get about 5 more mama’s just like me, We have a process cased the “pants duster” that works miracles.

Wasn’t it just two years ago that you all were ranting and raving about Washaun after he had a great game against Tech? And now he’s getting bashed like there’s no tomorrow by his own fans. Stand up for your guy, and support your team. You Georgia fans are the first to gloat when something positive happens, and the first to criticize at the opposite.

This is a promise – Crowell will not be the Lattimore of this year. What that kid did was freakish, and doesn’t happen every year. He’ll be good, but will have his ups and downs. You need a kid like King or Ealey, who has played a couple of college seasons, to step in when the times are tough – which they will be at times this year. Crowell will help, but he’s not the answer.

“Word is now that upperclassmen are not reacting positively (aka, using it as motivation) of the heralded “Dream Team”. Coaches pretty much threw the current roster under the bus for those guys … And if you were a tailback, and a coach got your teammates to line up information without you to show a high schooler how bad they want him, would you feel the need to give anything back to the team?”

This is spot-on from a (lack of) leadership perspective. As an upperclassman, I’d feel used and abused by Richt. But maybe that’s what it takes to get these prima donnas motivated. And I’d be looking to take it out on the “dream” freshmen at camp.

What I don’t get though: Richt has had “top 5″ and “top 10″ recruiting classes for years. Why is this group that different?

Richt threw the current team under the bus for 25 18 year olds where only 3 will get noticeable playing time.

Class and intelligence know no limitation. I began college in 1967. I had the good fortune to be in classes with some players who became academic allamericans, some were as dumb as a post. I don’t remember the players getting into that much trouble back then, but we didn’t have cell phones with cameras and the internet. It is hard for someone to show interest in a college education when all around them, with some expections, did not finish high school.

This is college football and recruiting happens every year. If upperclassmen are having problems with high school seniors, then UGA is in even worse shape than I thought.

LSU brought in “The Fam” this year. 17 kids from within Louisiana borders. 2 of which are already on campus fighting for starting spots. From everything I’ve read, the upperclassmen have embraced these younger guys as the future of LSU football and are excited to get the rest on campus and get the season started. UGA is in for a loooonnnngggg season.

I have to confess that I let my frustration with UGA football coalesce into impatience. By the middle of this past season, I was ready for Richt to go, though I had a strong suspicion the new AD wouldn’t cut Richt so early in his (the AD’s) tenure, no matter the condition of the team. Once it was made clear Richt was returning, I accepted it and decided on a quiet, wait-and-see approach.

I’m impressed with the goings-on at UGA now. This recruiting class is nothing short of a coup. Richt has quietly made changes in areas that were glaringly lacking: new S&C coach, new O-line coach, established a mentoring program, plus any number of other things behind the scenes that we don’t know about; I was just starting to think he gets it, after all. Richt was well on the way to regaining my confidence, then this issue with Ealey arises.

Washaun Ealey has not lived up to his bargain with UGA. He has failed to follow basic instructions, engaged in much-less-than-responsible behavior, failed to adequately produce on the field of play, and through it all, comes across as having a sense of entitlement. Richt finally has the level of documentation he needs, along with a hungry replacement, to deal with the Ealey situation in an adult manner. Once again, I’m impressed.

My adopted wait-and-see approach has just been elevated to cautious confidence in Richt and his team. I can’t wait to see them play over the next two years.

Old School,

You would feel used and abused by Richt? Then you are not OId School at all. You are a Sissy.

That’s what happens at every school. The players know how it works because they were recruits to.

The one thing you were right about is all the recruits come in and think they are going have immediate playing time until the first hitting day.

Look how we treat these young kids. And we wonder why they act out.

Everybody is making millions of dollars. But what do they get? Nothing! College scholarship? You kidding me! These young athletes have to work so hard during the season that it’s way more than a full time job. They are pressured to perform and get nothing in return except the long shot chance of going pro.

And who cares about them? Almost no one.

People who haven’t graduated from a legitimate college (for profit “schools” don’t count), don’t respond.

Yes, Auburn has a national title. Why? Do you ask? Because they have no morals or ethical standards on the players they recruit. How many times did key players from Auburn get suspended last year? How many cheap shots did Fairley take at opposing players? After the play was over, knees to the head, laying out at a QBs knees when you outweigh him by 200 lbs. Not even get started on SCam Newton. Congratulations Auburn enjoy it while it lasts because youve got an “at best” chance at 7-5 next year. And will be staring at the bottom of Crowells cleats come November in Athens. Go Dawgs!

I love how easy it is to rope-a-dope on this AJC comment section of their paper, which according to dawg fans belongs only to them, :D . Wha? You call me cheap? Cheap? I beat the snot out of you guys, that’s all. Big boy football, NFL style, Warren Sapp style (according to CMR). I can’t help it if it was Georgia’s own BEN JONES who got suspended for trying to end a Mississippi St players career. But only for a half because as we know, CMR can’t suspend anyone that he needs, hence todays article. :D

But just out of curiosity, top ten recruiting class plus we’re going to win it all! It’s said every year by UGA fans and guess what they’ve got to show for it. 0. Nothing. Nada.

Auburn on the other hand won the National Championship. An Auburn player won the Heisman. I won the Lombardi award. 14-0. 15-0 actually. Alabama did it the year before. I guess while Georgia owns grade inflation and de-certified schools, we have championships. And what will happen this year? 0-2 start for UGA, blow out loss to Boise and maybe a close loss against South Carolina who will be looking PAST Georgia (and who can blame them) for their show down with Navy and then doing everything they can not to look past Vandy because after that here comes the defending national champions, the Auburn Tigers.

This is a prime example of recruiting an “elite” high school player to UGA that hasn’t panned out for one, or more, reasons. It could be this kid wasn’t a qualified student who couldn’t make it academically long-term; it might be he was a known discipline risk coming into the program.

The bottom line, however, is we seem to keep coming back to Mark Richt. He’s responsible for selecting the kids for the program, coaching them so that they can improve their skills in college and play as a part of the overall team, motivate the player, insure they know, and follow, all of the rules in order to stay eligible to continue to play, and, as head coach, take overall responsibity over the health and well being of the kids they sign.

Mark Richt knew in advance Ealy had serious issues prior to signing him. This was was not the first “roll of the dice” for Mark Richt, especially most recently, as he’s come under fire. The more heat, the seemingly more desperation, so the more reaches, bringing in more risks, and thus, more troubles off the field, and more “disposable” players as new “elite” players are recruited to replace them.

It’s a vicious circle that won’t be broken until UGA’s fans demand more of your program. You CAN have the best of both worlds; find a passionate coach right now who recruits top tier, qualified talent. Mark Richt has lost his passion and has begun go through the motions. Compare him to Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech. It’s like night and day.

I think Richt is past the point of losing respect and “bad examples.” He needs to find a way to win f*cking football games. Thats it. I dont care if he starts a meth-addicted midget at tailback and a goddamn stuffed animal under center as long as he gets back on track. You used to could prioritize morals and standards over winning, but that is no longer the case. Hell, look at Auburn. No one cares about lying cheating stealing degenerates as long as they can win big games. Richt knows next year could likely be his last, so he’s gonna do whatever he can to just win.

What is so frustrating is the fact that these are not malicious crimes but just a general reoccurrance of stupidity over and over and not from just one player. It just has a smell of lack of respect for leadership. I heard Mark Schlabach ( spelling?) this morning discussing how surprised he was that Georgia is just now hiring a nutritionist to go along with the new strength and conditioning philosophy. Current player are upset of having to go to cafeteria 3 times a day versus Wendy’s and Chik-F-La. Richt has a long way to go before his house is back in order. Very disappointing as it appears players have lost respect

Stop worrying about high school seniors and recruits that may take your starting job. Get mad that someone is calling you lazy and soft and go take it out on the weight room and the field. Go compete and earn your right to play. This entire roster should be competing for their right to play. You ALL are 6-7. That is a losing record. You are not winners. You are losers.

Chizk ( the US Coach of the Year) used a limo service to shuttle kids around at Auburn, last recruiting period for 2010. Others fly to see a kid in a LEER jet. THEY ALL try to impress the kid. That is WHY schools like UGA and Alabama and LSU and Florida and Oklahoma State ( T. Boone Pickens is an alum) with their $$$ glitzy facilities.
This year Chizk is the National Coach of The Year.
Richt is being criticized for lining up his squad to impress Crowley?
Um, ah, I suspect that 95% of you UGA haters here are non college grads and in fact, have no business pulling for any school here, as you are not an alum.
Jealousy, not “morals” or “ethics” is your motivation. Own up to it and say “I simply hate UGA” and we are good with that. Why obuscate the truth behind flowing rhetoric??
Go Dogs.


Ahhhh. What is obuscate? Can’t seem to find that word anywhere in the dictionary. Did you mean obfuscate? Render obscure, unclear, or unintelligible?

And what’s a LEER jet? Never heard of that either. Do you mean Learjet? What kind of Learjet are you talking about? Picking up players? Yes that was allowed but not anymore, coaches now fly to players but not the other way around. Lot’s of the big schools have them, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi St, but not UGA. I believe UGA still uses alumni aircraft for that function.

But if you are trying to say that Auburn is using it’s Cessna Citation Bravo and Citation Ultra to do something against NCAA rules than by all means, source it.

Now I realize this is a ‘dawg’ fan I’m speaking too. So when I say source it, I mean give us an article, link to it, let us read it. We’ll be waiting, or sort of waiting. I’m sure my patience will grow thin waiting. But you know what will never grow thin? Me. Thanks to my games against Oregon for the National Championship, South Carolina for the SEC Championship, Alabama for the Iron Bowl and then my absolute bone crushing beat down of a shrimp QB and his thuga offensive line I am going to the NFL while UGA continues to reach for that rainbow. Keep reaching for that rainbow guys and enjoy watching the teams from Alabama play championship football instead.

This is not a child. This is a college student who was given a full scholarship and many other perks. He was also given multiple chances to behave and chose not to do so. Perhaps Richt was too soft on his players but that doesn’t excuse the players. If Ealey and his parents are not up to taking advantage of his situation perhaps Mr. Ealey needs to sit out a semester or two and then go back to college to get a degree. Like lots of other students too immature for college do. Football doesn’t seem to matter too much to him. The “project” player comment is racist. That being said, discipline and rules and having to follow the law like the rest of us isn’t racist. Especially when knowing you have done wrong, you promise not to do it again and then go ahead and do it. And there’s always a better player coming up behind you, whether rec league, high school, college or the NFL. It’s up to you to be as good as you can for as long as you can. Nobody owes you. But how about the players having to pay back their scholarship to the school general fund if they flunk out or get kicked out or quit for criminal activity?

What we have learned from some of the more delusional UGA envied posters
1. Mark Richt is not strict enough, should exercise more discipline OR
RIcht shouldn’t discipline players who are not following team rules
Chizik, Saban, Johnson, fill in the blank do/do not discipline players for violating team rules, but whatever they do is okay.

2. Returning Georgia players are upset with the Dream Team concept, and publicity the newcomers are getting. (Please list at least one link or bit of information to back up this claim).

3. Recruiting gimmicks such as coaches pulling up in stretch limos are okay, but it is an unpardonalble sin to suggest that a UGA running back recruit MAY get to carry the ball in his first game, nothing guaranteed.

4. Even though Aaron Murray has been an exemplary student-athlete, Richt should punish him anyway because Mett was punished. Through some twisted logic, this would be showing “fairness” to those knuckleheads who merited suspension.

5. It has been reported in the media that a Heisman winning QB piled up 13 traffic violations while at UF, yet never was suspended even a quarter or half of a game.
This sort of action would have resulted in a number of arrests in Athens, and certainly missed games.

6. Almosf every member of the Dream Team was recruited by other SEC/ACC schools. I know the internet is like the Wild, Wild West, but I think it is sad that people literate enough to type out a message refer to these young men as thugs, criminals, dumbbells, etc. It says a lot more about the poster than it does about the high school senior being talked about.

______________________________________________________________

Only Tebow has been the kind of running threat that Cam was though. And at that point Cam had run for what 180 yards already on LSU? Like I said, it was a great run but if Cam is not a QB, that run does not happen. I think 3 guys all went with Cam on the play leaving the RB with a ton of running room. It was poor tackling on LSU’s part but again, that run doesn’t happen without Cam. And I can prove this because LSU did not give up a run like that again all year. Davis from Arkansas ran over LSU but he had to grind those yards out at 5-6 yards a run.

Everybody always accused UGA players of being “thugs.” Ne’erdowells, maybe, but thugs? Only Montez Robinson has really done anything thuggish. One could argue Downtin, but neither I nor anybody else knows the factual details surrounding that bar fight. Maybe Mett’s indiscretions could be called thuggish. All are gone btw.

But the rest of them? They’re thugs b/c they drink under age? Smoke weed? Drink and drive? Drive on a suspended license? Fail to pay parking tickets? All of these latter crimes hardly rise to the level of “thuggery.” These are stupid crimes, but not violent or anything of that sort. Perhaps socially irresponsible, but not thuggish. So, why do y’all call them thugs? For those of you who went to college and actually drank (the majority of people in college), are you telling me that you didn’t have friends who did the same stupid stuff? You jerks wouldn’t be so quick to judge a white fraternity, for example, as being thugs, simply b/c that particular chapter had a sizeable number of members arrested for alcohol-related crimes (as most do).

We all know that you played most of the Auburn/UGA game on your back. We also know that UGA fans like to trash talk before every game and then lick their wounds after every game.

“I’m looking forward to the beatdown we are going to put on Auburn next year in Athens with the thug Fairley in the NFL or jail and Cammie spending Daddy’s money, it’s a sure bet.”

Beat down is two words, ma’am. You’re girlish figure won’t save you from the new rounds of sacking you’ll get in Jordan Hare West.

Nick is going number one in the draft and Cam will go number 10. Trust me, you were a tackling dummy to them.

“Just like 4 out of the last 5 years. Now that the paid help has left, back to same ole’ loser irrelevant Auburn.’

____________________

dude, drop it. I’m over it. It was the McCalleb 70 yard TD run. Auburn ran all over us. Cam ran for like 215, 70 from the McCalleb run and yet the score was still only 24-17 and LSU had the ball with 5 minutes remaining but because of Fairley dominating the o-line, our QB’s couldn’t do anything. Again, I still feel that without Cam, that long run doesn’t happen and LSU might win that game. It’s over with now, and I’ll have to wait until next year.

Your “Dream Team” just writes the ticket for 1/4 of your team to automatically think they are a gift from God. You think that won’t cause problems in the locker room, especially that cheesy formation stunt Richt pulled without a tailback?

Clearly Ealey lacks character. A hotshot tailback is coming up through the ranks, and he is in the top dawg spot. It is time to rise to the occasion and secure his position. It is time to foster a younger player. It is time to be a team guy. His inability to do these things does not mean he is a bad person. (I don’t know the guy or a whole lot about him.) It speaks volumes about his character, though. So, are we as fans (and many of us elders) going to run this kid down and out and talk crap about him? Another alternative would be to wish him well. Another alternative is to hope he finds that character and learns how to live up to responsibilities. I choose the latter because I don’t want to see another failure. I don’t want to see another kid suffer the pain of not achieving. I don’t know who’s to blame and don’t care. I just hope this kid takes his licks, brushes it off, gets on track, and makes something of himself. Same goes for Caleb and anyone else who is having trouble grasping what it means to have character.

Ealey’s a Gangsta Thug that UGA needs to get rid of. He really pi>>>ed me off toward the end of the Arkansas game last year. With the game on the line, he was dancing some sort of rap in the huddle instead of staying focused with the rest of the team in a very important game. We wound up losing that game. Against Ga Tech, he was so stupid with just a minute left that he danced into the end zone instead of downing the ball to run the clock out. That allowed GT to get the ball back with a chance to win the game.
I’m hoping that da Preacha Man is learning from his laissez faire is everywhere approach to team discipline. He needs to drop kick both Ealey and King across the goal posts of life where they can get a head start as drivers for UPS or doing local landscaping work.

@big cat newnan dawg….did i say anywhere that Ealey does not deserve discipline for not doing the things that he was expected to do…No…Unfortunately, you nor i have all the details, so if i am a little hesitant to throw him under the bus and insult the young men as others on here have done, well excuse me, my bad…also, i didn’t say you did either, i’m just pointing out how many on here are so quick to judge and bash these young men at times…I’m sure the appropriate punishment for him will be forthcoming by Coach Richt and UGA…again, i think you and others miss my point, i’m not condoning anything he has done, and he probably has been given more chances than some would give, he ought to be thankful for that…Basically my previous posts were pointing out how many of the bloggers jump at the chance to bash the kids and the dawgs programs…I’m sure as soon as another kid messes up or one of our new recruits makes a mistake, the first thing you will hear is he’s a “thug”, so get him out of here…just saying we shouldn’t be so quick to judge, but everyone on here has that right, just as i have to my opinion…go dawgs

One or two incidents of players not acting as they should is understandable, however someone has to put their foot down and say enough. If UGA wants a quality program, as I believe they do, then focus shoudl be on the quality of student athletes the school is recruiting. Make them accountable for their actions and hold the coaching staff accountable for enforcing the standards.

For a brief moment, Michael Dyer stopped running.

Hold on.

No whistle. No ref raising his hand.

So he started running again – past the tackler who thought he had him down, deep into Oregon territory. A once-in-a-lifetime run, the kind that wins championships.

Dyer’s stop-and-go maneuver set up a short field goal on the last play that sent No. 1 Auburn over the No. 2 Ducks 22-19 in the BCS title game Monday night.

If he indeed missed his punishment, then that is wrong. He is getting a free education. Obviously, he needs to take his opportunity more seriously. Hopefully he will take his punishment and show good character doing so.

@big cat newnan dawg…agree with that 100%….I hope he gets it soon…I know Coach Richt doesn’t want to dismiss him but he may have no choice…I imagine that if Ealey wants to stay, and he indicated from another source that he does, then he better do everything and then some to show this team and coaching staff that he deserves to be on the team…if he is willing to do that, myself, i wouldn’t have a problem…as you said the competition at RB will only make us better and i am concerned about the depth at that position, especially if Ealey is gone…that leaves only King, and Thomas with any game experience…an injury to any of the Rb’s will put a big hurt on our team, and expecially if we lose Ealey…go dawgs…

Ealey has problems of course! But what do you expect to happen, when you take a kid that didn’t have much, and is the top football player @ his high school, and throw him into the limelight at UGA and put pressure on such a young man that should have been given time to get accustomed to college life, before hand!! You should have to earn your way to a starting position on the team and move up, not just because of how you did in high school! High School and College are 2 separate things!!

Richt should know better as a coach to allow the players to hang with bad influences!! I thought Richt has done a better job coaching a few years ago! Now is coaching is just a joke! Hopefully Richt is on his way out if things don’t straighten up! He has got to do better when it comes to starters and their grades!! If you don’t make the grade, you don’t play with/without a tutor!! His decisions are becoming erratic and not sure if he even makes the grade!

If Ealey decides to leave the Dawgs, then so be it! I hope and pray that things get better for him, as he is a young man that needs to find some people that will influence him to be the best he can be and who understands how to handle everything that is thrown at him in such a fast pace!!!

Ealey had a reputation even in high school of being difficult. He spit in the face of opponents several times according to even the winning coach in the state finals. He had no respect for his own high school coach and used strong language towards the coach to drive his point of disrespect home. He then comes to Georgia a hot dog protected by among others our boy Tony Barnhart. The eye thing against Florida got more airtime than the Egyptian uprising is getting now with Ealey looking as the victim by TBs outrage. The press in Athens knew and knows full well they had a punk on their hands but made him look reputable to the world, until they didn’t need him anymore. This is not serving Georgia or the readership or the kid in this misdirection of the truth. Now the truth comes out, the real underlying problems at Georgia ,the same problems they had going into the season last year, unspoken then, but now it is not so costly so lets fed the kid to the lions. I think he should be but it comes a year too late.

The Truth

February 8th, 2011
5:44 pm

First of all It all starts with the coaches. If the know how and what these kids are when they recruit them, then they should not expect anything less or more from these kids. Ealey has had more chances than anybody on the team and blew everyone of them. So don’t feel sorry for Ealey if CMR has finally found his breaking point. Now the Ealey is in a position to man up or transfer. The decision is his and his only.

Now I have an objective question and feel free to answer it however you see fit. Now i’ve seen Isaiah Crowell play when his team came to Calhoun. Calhoun kept him contained the whole game and he threw a fit. Now do you think that this will happen when he plays Florida, South Carolina, and the defenses in the SEC that will be gunning for him? Also one more question. He was rated the number 1 high school Running back in the nation. If I got that wrong, please correct me. But if not, is he really the number 1 HS RB in the nation or is it just the talk in GA saying he’s the number on in the nation?

Where Does Auburn Go from Here?

Nowhere really. Auburn clearly signed the most talented offensive class in the country, even without Kouandjio. The Tigers got Reese Dismukes, Thomas O’Reily, Greg Robinson and Christian Westerman. Wow.

While losing out on Koaundjio was a stinging blow, especially to arch nemesis Alabama, Auburn is fine. If they want to add another lineman for the 2010 class, they could take another dip into the JUCO or prep school ranks to see if anyone is there.

But really, Auburn is fine.

AU just signed cam they didn’t negotiate money or anything… all that drama was enacted at miss st. wasn’t it? how is AU at fault then for signing this guy? so in my humble opinion i think AU won’t have to worry about vacated wins or a vacated MNC.

Athens-Clarke County Police Dept. is notorious for picking on college kids out drinking. On any given Friday or Saturday, approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of the police force is out patrolling downtown just picking on college kids, making arrests, etc. That’s just downtown. That’s not counting all the road blocks and patrol cars looking for loud parties.

Not saying that UGA doesn’t have a discipline problem, but I really don’t think it’s much worse–if at all–than any other program, including Bama and Aub. I honestly just think those towns are a lot less dependant on citations for alcohol crimes.

Washaun Ealey is a great running back. I watched I.C. play in two games. Coach Richt should not have said I.C. was going to get the first carry against Boise State. Other than Herschel, when was the last time a freshman made an impact in the running game? I.C. looks small against SEC competition. The Dawgs will need an experienced running back next year. If he can’t block…..he won’t play.

If Richt plays his cards right, Ealey MIGHT give Richt one more try. But he needs to chill out with the slobbering over Crowell. If Crowell’s so great, why didn’t he run for over 8000 yards and score over 130 touchdowns in high school like Ealey did? If Crowell’s so great, he’ll be able to average more than a td every 14 carries like Ealey did this year, and 5.7 yards a carry his freshman seaosn like Ealey did. We’ll see.

Then again, 99% chance, Richt blew his chance at Ealey. Like Mettenberger and Gray, Ealey’s probably had enough of Richt playing favorties.

Losing Mett got Richt a 6-7 season with Murray. Wonder what losing Ealey will cost Richt in 2011?

In order for any team to succeed, they have to work as a unit. When one part of that unit breaks down or refuses to conform, it affects the whole team. Ealey, has shown by his immaturity that he is not a team player. He believes it is his right to do as he pleases, and not be part of the team. King, in order to stay eligable for this years team in the fall, must take 21 hours, and that is going to be tough, considering the demands already placed on players for time.
I don’t know, and I doubt anybody else on this blog does, how well Crowell will do this year, since his learning curve just got a lot steeper and he will really have to mature fast. I don’t know whether he will be ready for this, in the year 2011.
It also appears that no matter what CMR does, a lot of you will find fault with it. He is either too hard or too soft, depending on what takes place. I believe the man is sincere about fielding a team, that has as many good atheletes as possible. I also believes he wants these kids to be well behaved, good students and stay out of trouble. I commend him for his actions and if the kids can not live up to his standards, I do think it would be better for them to transfer. I am sure he never promised any kid signing up with UGA, that they could do as they pleased, as long as they were good on the field.
I believe every school has a certain amount of students that have a few behavior problems and UGA is no different. If CMR can be faulted for anything, it is probably sticking with some of them a little too long. He is a Christian man, and as such, tends to maybe see things a little more optimistically than the average person. I think he takes it personally when some of these kids act like juveniles and do not take advantage of the wonderful opportunity that they have been afforded in life.
For those of you, who come onto blogs concerning UGA to do nothing but cut down and say crap about UGA, I hope you folks will look at what some of you type and realize how childish some of your remarks are. Nothing is really accomplished by acting like a childish kid, unless some of you truely are just that. A little bit of banter is to be expected, but when it is in excess, the only one you are truely amusing at some point is yourself. If any of the players or staff, even read a lot of these remarks, I am sure they can pretty well see through them, and laught at all of the childish remarks. When you start attacking a person character on these blogs, I would say you then go over the edge of just poor taste. I do not expect a lot of you will change though, so continue to make yourselves feel better if that is what your rants and raves really do for you. The football game is played on the field, and not in accordance with your childish wishes and comments.

Just another example of a team being out of control and CMR playing catch up. What a classless thing to do to embarrass Ealey like that. I’d have an attitude too if the christian coach would have rubbed my nose in a big pile of steaming crap by putting on that dog and pony show. This coach is running scared and he will lose the whole team when you treat people like that….maybe that’s what happened last year, because those players sure didn’t play for him. The best thing for Ealey is to put Athens in his rear view mirror and get out of town. Oh BTW, Murray you better get ready because you’re next…I’m sure the Rev. LeMay made some kind of deal to get his boy playing time. This whole new einvented/ born again March Richt is a coach running scared and is looking over his shoulder.

Normally, I consider Richt to be an honorable man, but I am now afraid that, due to all the clamoring of the UGA fan base, he is doing things for the sake of winning that he would not have stooped to before.

All this talk about Ealey is diversionary tactics by da Preacha Man. Wow, is he smooth!

You’re right in that Ealey is an idiot. He’s lazy and should have never been recruited because we knew his true colors when he played dirty in high school.

The best idea I’ve heard on the blogs today is that Richt and Bobo need to run stadium steps after every loss next year for three hours. Let’s see if they show up for their punishment. You see, the UGA nation expects to see some discipline and dedication to winning from the coaching staff. This is currently an alien concept for da Preacha Man and Bozo. They love to play their little darling favorites instead of instilling a culture of merit so that the most motivated players who are giving the most effort get the playing time.
If you are results oriented, you will insist that Richt and Bobo do their punishment after each loss and show up to work off their demerits on time. If they don’t we can suspend them without pay and after a short period of time hoping that they might be hired by an ACC univeristy we may terminate their contracts and hire a real coaching staff.
Then we will not have to read about all this diversionary propaganda every day on the AJC…

Your comments sound close, but, don’t give up on CMR being a good man.
I think his biggest problem the past 2-3 seasons is he’s had no help from the AD where now he seems to be getting some. And maybe he can now get more coaching time in.
For Evans to get caught doing what he did kinda shows where his mind was at the past few years. Chances of him getting caught and it his only time doing such things isn’t likely.
The hire of McGarity was the best thing that could have happened to CMR.
Now maybe he can do some coaching.. He is a good coach and coaching is like teaching, it’s not something you just forget how to do.
Same as his faith.
Not something you just forget.
I think we’ll see a much improved team in 2011, may not win them all but don’t see another losing season.
Having a team prepared to play and compete on a regular game basis will be a much improved team to me.

cantondawg, Feb 8@1106AM: I hope for Washaun’s sake that he will learn from this mistake and be better for it. People need to realize that this is a young man’s life we’re talking about….”

Amen and ditto. Only a sorry Dawg “fan” would be ready to throw one of the Bulldawg Nation under the bus (kick him off the team; release him) without knowing one iota about the transgression. We have no idea about the circumstances. Some of you “fans” jump to conclusions with no proof, just “rumor has its”. Richt needs to get tough? As Schultz says, “…he…has become increasingly “tough on crime” in the past year…” Wouldn’t happen if it was Murray? That’s just ignorant. Remember King and Ealey were both the next great RBs and you “fans” were tripping all over yourselves 3 and 4 years ago singing their praises. Now you’d kick either of them off the team because they didn’t average 7 yards a carry or missed a drill.

We should just hope Ealey (and King and Crowell and the rest of the team) learns from this. We should hope he “does things the Georgia way” and straightens himself out. We should nope he’ll work hard and become a better player and person. We should hope for the best for anyone in Bulldog Nation.

Now, if any suspended player doesn’t do what he’s asked or continues to “transgress”, then deal with that appropriately. But, unless I know the details, who am I to say what CMR should do under any circumstances?

Discipline will be much more severe because Crowell is on board. If Crowell wasn’t on the team Richt -the-Wuss would be suspending Ealey for the first half of the Spring Game. Who’s kidding who?? If Richt was so upset with Ealey last year for driving on a suspended license why did he start 8 games and play in all but one. What a joke. “Convenient” discipline is Richt’s approach.

I’m not ready to dismiss Ealey. I think he has talent. He just needs to get his mind right. I’ll be interested to see how Ken M. performs at G-Day. I also wonder if we can’t take one of the 2011 Athletes we recruited and turn them into a RB.

richt is saying Ealey can come back if he follows the rules.

How is that different since Crowell is on board.

Using your logic, Ealey should be kicked off the team since Crowell is on board.

He is not.

Ealy not a good fit for triple option at Southern. Not fast enough for “A” back and not powerful enough runner to be the “B” back.

50/50 chance Ealey leaves Richt with 6-7 starter Murray and inexperienced Crowell in a must win season. If Ealey goes, you’d have to think Richt’s done at Georgia. King, Malcome, Lemay and Mason could also transfer before Fall.

I had my doubts about Ealey watching him play in the Class A Championship game his senior year of high school. He seems to be a very self centered baby. If Richt does decide to reinstate him, I say next strike and he’s out. Georgia doesn’t need selfish players. Georgia needs TEAM players who are there for the greater good of the team not for me, myself and I.

James

Ealey will likely head to a top JUCO like Butler Community for 1 season, a la Mettenberger, win a National Championship, set some rushign records, then head back to the SEC to start for LSU, Auburn, Florida or Alabama in 2012.

I can see Lemay at South Carolina, it’s a little closer to home.

Dirty Dawg

February 9th, 2011
9:46 am

Let me say it again, Mark Richt didn’t promise the Crowell kid he’d be starting in the opening game…he merely painted the picture of the ‘possible’ for the young man and it, apparently, paid off. Just as Vince Dooley had done with Herschel back in ‘79/’80, and if you remember, Herschel didn’t start that Tennessee game – finished it pretty good, but didn’t ’start’. So there’s absolutely nothing wrong with how CMR went about this.

I agree with others that Mr. Ealey’s problems are of his own making. I’m afraid, like too many young people these days, things have come way too easy for him and it’s gone to his head. If he thinks he can ‘big-dog’ it through school, and life, without working for it, he’ll go down as just another kid with talent but not heart or determination. If you’re in school you work at your academics…if you’re on scholarship, you work at making yourself bigger/stronger/faster/better, and if Ealey won’t do that then it really doesn’t matter where he transfers cause they’ll demand the same thing there.

James

February 9th, 2011
9:49 am

The domino’s could start falling pretty fast for Richt. If Lemay and Mason see they’re not not getting as many reps over Spring as Murray, like Mettenberger & Gray, they’ll transfer before the season starts. Ealey’s likely already gone, along with Logan Gray and Mettenberger. Caleb King has to get in 30 academic hours over Summer, very unlikely. So you’re looking at Murray and Crowell, and no depth at either position.

Might be time for Ealey to go to team that treats him more fairly. He fumbles and gets benched, Murray turns the ball over 4 times against Florida, and doesn’t get benched. Ealey scores 11 touchdown’s, King 2, and Ealey doesn’t get the carries. AJ Green cheats on the NCAA and Richt defends him, and Ealey misses a run and Richt bars Ealey from the buildings.

OLD COACH

February 9th, 2011
9:52 am

I am quite sure almost all of you have NEVER been in a strength and conditioning/ weight room atmosphere but the work in a real program is intense and extremely difficult. With that being said many players have a bad day and sometimes just want to quit or run off at the mouth. This can not be tolerated and the new S&C coaches will not allow such behavior to exist. I do not think that the position of the player even entered into the suspension. Either you have turned a new page in S&C or you are still doing what you did before and will probably see the same results. Great job Coach T and staff and even better job by CMR for setting the tone! DO IT RIGHT OR DO IT OVER OR GO HOME!!!

Paul

February 9th, 2011

Crowell needs to earn the spot, not inherit it by default. Ealey needs to grow up and take responsibility for himself. The easiest way to change the culture is to remove the old and bring in new. That includes both coaches and players. Since the coaches are still there, then they have to hold the players to a new standard and enforce it. I am please that Mark Richt is still the coach. However, that means he has to clearly communicate to the players and other coaches what the new rules are. Then stick to them no matter who the player is. I have been through this in business, and this is no different. Richt has always been reluctant to change out his coaching staff which is a sign of inexperience and loyalty to fault. However, it will get easier for him the more he does it.

James

February 9th, 2011

If a coach is going to play favorites, the only thing left for the players is transfer.

Transferring shows the coach how dumb it is to entitle players, and transferring gives the player treated unfairly a fair chance, after prving himself for a seaosn in JUCO, to start for a big time school.

Mettenberger did it perfectly. Crushed Murray over Spring games. Not even close. Richt went with Murray anyways. Mettenberger transfers to JUCO powerhouse Butelr and wins a National Championship. Mettenberger gets offers from several big time programs including Alabama and LSU. Mettenberger chooses LSU, an SEC school, so he can beat Richt, and prove Richt was wrong.

Repeated infractions with the law, coaches, and peers (relatively minor, which is good. but repeated), including not showing up for a court date and violation of the “duty-upon-strike” law after hitting a parked car, telling people to their face that I’m leaving the scene basically because I want to and that’s the way it is… (Yes I know there were no other people involved, but it’s still irresponsible, arrogant, and obnoxious. Period.)

The last few years, and especially the in 2010-2011, that IS “The Georgia way”.

It’s up to Richt, his staff, and the players to make the “The Georgia Way” synonymous with “the right way”. Right now, it is just talk. Actions are what matter.

Ealey is what coaches call a “high maitenance player”. You always have to push them through practice or class, because they always have an excuse or reason not to perform as required. Whether it is being lazy, lack of maturity, not wanting to be responsible, or whatever it does not matter. We are talking about a young person who signed a LOI to play football. That requires certain commitments from the player. They never seem to understand that. Georgia has outstanding facilities, professors, coaches, assistants, you name it, it is there for a player. If you are not motivated to accept that and excel, move on, don’t be asked or encouraged to leave. If you are afraid of competition, and not willing to compete at a high leve, move on. But while you are moving on think about this. Your history precedes you. Coaches are aware of a player’s history as well as fans, alumni, and the media. They know you are a player always in crisis, strife, and conflict. There are legions of players and young men not in that mold. They will take your spot not only on the roster, but in life. Frankly, if CMR has a weakness, and most Christians do have this, it is not understanding when it is time to cut someone loose. CMR is not only a great coach, but a very courageous, understanding man of young people, who goes many miles to salvage them. I’m thankful for men like CMR, but I’m not like that and so are many coaches.

Ealey is a guy that has never had to endure this word: direction. He blasts through his life and in his litty, bitty town of Stillman??, maybe he got away with that. He is young and he is dumb acting. He is very, very selfish too. Maybe UGA’s O line picked up on this? Why work for him, they collectively thought??? Hmmmmmmm???

He thinks that he can cruise through life doing it his way. He is a child apparently. He is immature and his inability to recognize this, and jettison this bad work habits will be his undoing.

I do believe this will be Mark Richt’s last season. Coaches are leaving him. Top talent like Mettenberger, Gray and likely Ealey are transferring. You can see people see ths ship going down. Richt’s entitlement policy is what sunk the ship in 2010. Richt got stuck with Murray, when everyone saw what Mettenberger could do.

6-7 season resulted.

Now Richt comes out saying Crowell will start against Boise and Crowell will be used heavily, before Crowell practices and earns it.

When Geogia guys like Thomas Brown & Walsh say entitlement, you have to wonder what’s going on.

Sure, Murray’s a religious kid who stays out of trouble, stays positive, and studies film a lot. But he can’t beat a winning team. And Murray went 6-7 as a starter.

Remember, the Florida and UCF games were at the END of the season, with AJ on the field. 6 TO’s.

Doing the right thing as a player on a scholarship is doing the RIGHT things when no one is watching. This applies to ditch diggers or neuro surgeons or teachers or yes, football players. It also means doing the right thing whether black, white, yellow or purple or magenta in color.
To infuse race into any conversation, clearly illustrates a lack of depth. It shows immaturity and it shows that person does not get out very much.

ZM was KICKED OUT of UGA for his activities in a bar and then for lying about it.
Ealey MIGHT SOON BE KICKED OUT of UGA for his poor little boy actions.
Logan Gray saw his best chance for PT in some small school where he can earn his Masters. HIS PT at UGA was basically done. He prefers to CONTINUE HIS EDUCATION in grad school where he can also play one more year of ball.

GT, AU and Alabama, Florida, and LSU and UT and Texas, Oregon and Ohio State and Michgian, Virginia and Miami and FSU and every NCAA school all have kids that come and go. THAT is fairly normal.

GT’s QB John Dewberry was third string at UGA and he transferred to GT for some PT and won the NC in 90. GT’s gain and UGA’s loss. Such is life.

UGA also had Terrel Davis who left California for UGA and later was MVP in the Super Bowl. The CA school quit football and THAT was UGA’s gain.

Such are the ebbs and flows of life.

Richt’s favoritism policy cost him a bunch of games. Ealey fumbles, is benched, King starts against Colorado, fumbles, and loses the game. Ealey starts that one, Georgia is 7-6. UCF and South Carolina Murray didn’t score a td. Mason or Gray would have, and that would have been 9-4. Murray chokses at end of Arkansas game and Bobo decides not to give Ealey the ball-who just ran for 10 yards, Ealey or Mason or Gray wouldn’t have choked, another win, 10-3. Mason or Gray don’t commit 4 to’s against Florida, another win, 11-2.

You just can’t go with Murray and King because “they are a nice guy”, “they are positive”, “they are religious”, “they pass block better”.

Ealey 11 td’s, King 2. How does Ealey get benched against Colorado?

Bill King, is a big time Georgia fan, and he doesn’t like the smell of the Ealey thing. He wants heavy competition at RB, Richt doesn’t seem to like competition anymore. If you are better than Richt’s favorite, Richt seems to slight you, try to discourage you to quit, and if you don’t, wait for you to mess up, then kick you off the team.

Will,
Everyone of those guys you have mentioned have been moved or kicked off for various reasons that have nothing to do with favoritism. Logan sucks at quarterback, so he was moved to a different position plain and simple. Ealey was supposed to be the next Moreno, but instead, he fumbles in the endzone twice this year, giving away big wins. He can’t hold onto the ball, and on top of that, he doesn’t know how to stay out of trouble. If I remember correctly, he was suspended at the beginning of the season before Crowell committed. Mettenberger was kicked off, after he already lost the #1 QB spot, for getting caught with underage drinking and assault. And as a side note, I’m a UGA student who had met the guy, and he is a huge a$$. His mentality sucked and this school didn’t need his arrogance. King can’t keep his grades up, so he was suspended, which is the same policy Richt has applied to all failing athletes. You obviously would rather accuse a great couch of favoritism instead of keeping up on your history, so I figured I would fill you in. Next time, avoid impulsive comments by increasing your knowledge on the subject first.

Look for some TE’s to transfer before Fall starts too, there are just too many top guys not being used. Figgins is a bench sitter, so they promise him next year, they’ll “really use him”. Sure, why didn’t they use him this year? They told Logan Gray the same thing, and got him 9 poasses.

Marcus Ealey and Washuan Dupree

February 9th, 2011
10:59 am

The names change with these kids and they come and they go. The playing fields across America are littered with them. In my late 1960s era, it was GT’s CHARLIE DUDISH. He was 35 times the player that Ealey ever thought about being. He was good at GT as a QB for maybe 35 minutes vs the real USC one game, even though GT lost it. He WAS the Number 1 kid in HS in 1968. Period. End of story. Down hill from there.

Unfortunately for Ealey, he will never, ever, ever, ever see the money that a Marcus Dupree did earn ( now blown ) because there is no secondary pro football league to run to and he is not the talent that Marcus Dupree was at 6′2″ and 245 with world class speed.
Ealey? He is small but he is slow ………………….physically and intellectually.

Dupree could tell Washed Out ealey to get real and simply w-o-r-k hard at UGA and rebuild his image. The NFL? They don’t want trash like ealey is right now. No way.

Smart of Logan Gray to transfer. He sent a message that he felt lied to when Richt told him he would use him a lot more in 2010. Gray got thrown maybe 12 passes, caght 9. Gray had enough of the favoritism, and transferred.

If any of these guys hear that line from Bobo and Richt this Spring, they can just look at how Richt fulfilled his promise to Logan Gray and rewarded Logan Gray’s loyalty.

Janes,

I would bet you would be one of the first ones to call for CMR’s head if he let Ealey continue on his wayward journey and got arrested again. These kids have a wonderful opportunity to get a free ride at a top notch university if they buy into the program that is presented to them, at the time he signs his LOI. I would bet, you would not have many parents turn down a free education for their kids if offered, even if it meant the kid would have to clean restrooms for 4 years. Ealey is choosing to ruin his chances at a shot for the NFL and also to mature into an adult. If Georgia Southern wants him and that is his way to escape from responsibility, so be it. It is his life, and he can make the choices he thinks will get him through life.
Point NBR. 2. I do not think that people on these blogs for the most part, care if a person disagrees as long as it is done for the purpose of adding something to the blog. Not just to irritate other people. Childish comments should be reserved for Romper Room. (look it up, probably before your time).

There are two sides to a story. You have only heard Richt’s. Youare asusming the favoritism with Crowell is not a pattern, you are wrong, look at Murray (transfers Gray and Mettenberger).

Likely, Ealey felt singled out, like he was being asked to do things other RB’s wern’t being asked to do. That’s a legit point. It fell on deaf ears. I’m sure Ealey didn’t like it when Richt named Crowell the starter and said Crowell would be used heavily this seaosn before Crowell worked out or practiced against Ealey.

With each new incident, Richt will be looked at closer, and decisions like stayign with Cox, who threw 14 interceptions, will be viewed as favoritism in hindsight. A pattern seems to be emerging. Murray got like 4 turnovers against Florida and got rewarded with mroe playing time.

Yet Ealey fumbles, and is benched.

It might be time to look at Richt’s decision of stayign with Cox & Murray & Caleb King, depsite their on the field performance, as a program with a full blown entitlement policy. Once favoritism sets in, players quit trying, because effort isn’t rewarded.

No wonder Wshaun Ealey’s attitude has suffered. He outproduces King 5 to 1 in td’s, and is not rewarded with getting all the carries.

Richt doesn’t really understand how you go with guys who earn it.

It sure is amazing how many people come on here and suggest that they know everything they need to know about how Richt disciplines/treats his players. The fact is that nobody knows exactly what’s been going on with Washaun other than the parked car/suspended license deal and missing a running assignment. These things are never pleasant to hear about and people are going to have opinions but the constant badgering of the coach is really uncalled for. I’m quite sure that Richt knows what’s best in dealing with Ealey and he’ll do what’s best for the team and the program. You non-UGA fans are a sad bunch constantly coming on here talking trash. Get a life losers. Your jealousy of the program is evident by your daily visits!

Here’s what I’m hearing. Ealey’s workout video was subjectively viewed by Joe T as ‘not giving 100%”. So Joe T issued Ealey a penalty for how Joe T FELT about Ealey’s workout.

Ealey, the same guy who finished 3rd in the nation in 4th quarter td’s, ansd outrushed Lattimore in yards per carry in the 4th quarter, being accused on not giving100% without any objective proof?

Ridicidulous.

James

It looks like Ealey has been singled out by Richt, Bobo or Joe T as the one to be “made an example of”.

Likely trying to get him to transfer, since they know Crowell can’t legimately beat out Eeley on the field anymore than Murray could ever outperform Mettenberger.

It just amazes me on some of the comments here. Richt throwing the current player under the bus for the way he went about recruited the new players. What kind of logic is that? Competition in the SEC is tough whether it’s on the field or in recruiting. You have to sell your product in some form or fashion and this time it was The Dream Team concept. Now what if the recruiting class had finished maybe 20th in the nation everyone would be bitching about that, so which is it. Some of the new players bought in to it but some had Georgia in their hearts and to play for their in-state school. The way he conducted himself in the Crowell recruitment in my opinion was ingenius. He knew he had two current RB’s with issues and he did everything he could to get the states top RB. It seems that the current players are showing some displeasures in the new changes especially in S&C. These guys have to understand that what is happening to them now is uncomfortable in the short term but will be a positive on the field and in their futures as in being ready for the NFL. These guys have to look at the big picture and some of these bloggers too.

Ealy is a great running back who needs to stay a bulldog. He is just coming into his prime Nearly every team rotates at least 2 backs to keep fresh legs in the grueling SEC schedule. Ealy’s rule violations deserve punishment but, in no way render him subject to being kicked off of the team. I say Ealy should embrace the competition and get back in Richt’s good graces ASAP and let the Dawgs get ready to GATA next year.

The account of Crowell’s recruitment was interesting, but it doesn’t tell us anything that we haven’t known for some years now: Richt is a great recruiter. He’s just not a great coach, motivator, or disciplinarian. And all the great recruits in the world won’t change that.

If Richt is getting rid of the “bench warmers” then why (before knowing how good Murray would be) did he ask Mettenberger to leave (possible starter at LSU this year) as well as one of our returning (starting) linebackers. Give me a break, he’s doing what he has to do to get us back on track and there is no favoritism.These guys, including Ealey, were potential “starters” on any team…not “benchwarmers”!!!

The reason that ealey had to do the punishmnet run is because he did not go to one of his tutoring classes. I think CMR has done all he can to help this guy. If. at 23 years of age he is not anymore responsible than this, he does need to go to Georgia Southern. His actions show his immaturity and disregard for his teammates.

February 9th, 2011

I don t know if Ealey is better, worse or on par as it relates to his “locker room” influence/leadership.
But, he is very much under rated as a TB. Granted, any TB, no matter how productive, needs to take care of the ball or else sit during the game- but the fumbling issue was not typical for him.

Ealey played with more heart, energy and emotion than most on the team last year. He ran hard and is a TB any CFB team would love to have. I would bet big $’s he would produce @ a high level on a team that is commited to the run and knows how to do so.

Given an objective opportunitty to win the starting roll next year, I think Ealey wins it for the opener and if Crowell turns out to be the back we all think he is, then they end up as co starters maybe by game 3 or 4.

I do not think any back in the country could have donne much, if any better running the ball on our O last year. Was it the O line, maybe, the O line coach, maybe, was it our O in general, maybe, was it just the overall attitude of the team starting at the top- probably all of the above. Placing last years performannce on Ealey s shoulder is disengenuous.

Ealey can flat play, there is no doubt- but regardless of that fact, I am embarassed to see so many UGA fans (maybe they are plants from other schools, like the ones who supported CWM for so many years as a great DC) publicly posting their desire for him to leave the team. Unless or until it becomes officail that he is no longer a Dawg then he should be treated like one.

I am very excited we signed Crowell and hope like the rest of us he has a stellar career @ UGA. But now that we have him there are way too many fans acting as if Ealey is excess baggage. I ll be the 1st to acknowledge CMR needs to run a tight ship. Players who cause trouble in the locker room (figuratively speaking) and don t get on board w The Georgia Way that CMR wants to show the door- I suppport it 100%, so long it is done w consistency and favoritism due to personlaity or production is not part of the decision.

Personally, I hope like heck Ealey is not being used as an example or that CMR is not going to GIVE Crowell or any other player a starting job. I also hope Ealey has a great Spring and season next year, it will only help Crowell become a better player.

The other wish i have is that Ealey knows there are plenty of UGA fans who think he is every bit as good as billed, recognizes his contributions to date and want him to remail a Dawg for life. The people who say they want to see him transfer DO NOT speak for most of us and may very well be fans from other schools or just part of the unfortunate % of fans representing what is wronng w CFB, the recruiting scene etc.

If this were the first time that Ealey had been in hot water for his off field conduct, he would not have been suspended. It is time to man up at 23 years old. If he can not show some maturity when he is on a free ride and has a wonderful opportunity to get ahead in life, what will he do if suddenly he has to make it on his own.
We do not know all that he may have done because of certain student privacy laws, but even you UGA and CMR haters on here, would have to admit, it had to be pretty bad for him to get suspended. This was probably just the latest in a string of things he did to GET HIMSELF in hot water.

Jeff Shultz i disagree……… No hole is too big as long as youre determined to get out of it and not give up. Yeah he might be a thug or doesnt do things right but look at us 20/30 years ago and where we are now. Most of us have changed for the better. The problem is he has a few months to turn things around and grow up.
Theres decisions he must make for himself and where he wants to go in life. I dont think i would ask friends that he hangs around with, i think i would talk to someone who has nothing to gain from all this and isa good, bright person with a good head on their shoulder and hopefully a person thats mature.
If Ealy decides to transfer i think that will hurt him in the long run and he may end up just trying to get on a practice squad in the NFL. He’s gotta change his friends , thats a given. Ask Michael Vick, ask Tiger Woods, ask Deion Sanders, Mike Tyson, and others thats been down that road.
When youre popular, rich or the likes then people flock to you and squeeze every bit of money you have or fame til theres no more and then theyre gone.
Some people just cant see that and thats sad. Ealy will have to attend everything and get good grades and apologize to the team and contribute or get the heck on. Perserverence makes you better a person and taking the easy way out hurts you later on in life.
Wish he’d stay and prove to everybody he’s that kind of person and do the right thing.

Will, are you kidding me????? Mettenburger left Richt absolutely no other choice than to dismiss him from the team-look what he did!!! Richt has said what a difficult and painful decision that was for him to make, and I believe him. He has known Zach for most of Zach’s life, and his mother has worked in Richt’s office for a long time. He did that to himself, and no one, including Richt, is to blame.
