Another no-show for UGA’s Caleb King, who’s a bowl no-go

Caleb King won’t play in the Liberty Bowl due to academic concerns, which means the Georgia tailback will complete 2010 having missed five games three different ways — two with an injury, two more due to suspension for failing to appear in court regarding a speeding ticket and now this latest suspension, incurred for missing at least five “academic-related appointments.”

Caleb King, it would seem, isn’t particularly skilled at showing up. He needs to remedy that. Because it’s clear even the endless patience of Mark Richt is nearing its end. Speaking of King, Richt told reporters in Memphis on Sunday: “We’ve played some games without him before, and we’ll do it again.”

It’s not as if King has been indispensable: He has had two 100-yard rushing games in three seasons. The first was his 166-yard showing against Georgia Tech in 2009 on a night when Washaun Ealey gained 183. This season King gained 100 yards at Colorado on a night that will be remember for his strange spin-around fumble at game’s end.

It has been a while now since King caused a stir by leaving Parkview High to play his senior season at Greater Atlanta Christian. He was a big deal then — the No. 1 player in Georgia who was bound for UGA. He hasn’t been nearly as big a deal since, and his time’s almost up. He’ll turn 23 next month. He needs to start showing up.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. King once tried to cheat on an open book test at UGA while in class with a family member of mine. This is nothing but par for the course for him.

Richt should clean house starting with Garner and then the rest of the poor recruits that never fulfill their potential.

The most uinproductive RB in UGA history. What amazes me about this player and scholarship is why CMR did not cut him loose along time ago. I’ve said before, I want your scholarship so I can give to someone who wants to study and play. But also remember there are RBs in metro Atlanta school
C’mon man. Why do you let GT come down the field and never set you DE to rush from the outside on a QB who can not throw. It took those AF’s D coaches about 6 plays to understand that. C’mon man.
C’mon man. Please tell Bob of ESPN that the AF is not the only branch of service who flies planes. Most of us understand that the best aviators are Marine and Navy pilots. Maybe old Bob needs to live in the real world for awhile. C’mon man, where is Terrence Moorte to question the coaching of Johnson. Damn, c’mon man!

Our “middle of the road program” certainly doesn’t depend on Caleb King being there or not. Getting to the point of “who really cares”.
Kinda the same as the way Richt coaches this team-after making his “millions” does he really care?

If Richt had an ounce of real integrity, instead of facade, he would kick King off the team and open up another scholarship for a recruit who wanted to work hard and settle hard for Glory Glory. As it is, Richt is just a codependent of that Rap Artist Caleb King and his pal Washon Easley who would rather do a gangsta rap on the field between plays on a critical third down play against Arkansas in the fourth qualrter instead of getting their heads into the game. In the end, however, Richt the head coach (CEO), not the player, is to blame for these transgressions.

All these sickos defending Richt on the blogs every day obviously didn’t really ever graduate from UGA or any other school of higher learning for that matter because they are obviously dumber thana box of rocks.

Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami? The truth is that’s just the culture today. I hate as much as everyone else, but it’s not going to change. If you look around, it’s happening everywhere. Nearly all of the big studs in college football are developing “show me” or “i like me some me” attitudes and losing the “TEAM” element. Honestly, I just don’t think the coaches are entirely to blame for it. If you keep saying that it’s not the players fault, then you’re just feeding it. You’re giving them a way out. Richt can’t sit there and hold King’s hand to walk him to all of his academic appointments. The kid has to grow up.

I mean you’re saying if Richt had any integrity he’d kick King off the team, but that’s not how it works. A coach can’t take away scholarships based on a guys attitude just like, they can only bench them (which is what’ll more than likely happen). If they did have that power, college football would lose much of its stars because they’re all getting big heads like i said before.

Unfortunately, when a kid signs to play, they really have to screw up big for the school to revoke it. And let’s face it, when King signed, he was a huge prospect. Every school in the SEC wanted him. If every recruit who signed to play college football turned out exactly like the coaches thought he would, they wouldn’t recruit so many guys, and there would be a lot more undefeated teams at the end of the season. There’s just no way to predict that kind of stuff.

As for us “sickos” defending Richt, why not? The guy’s only been one of the best coaches in college football over the last decade, and has brought the Dawgs out of the cellar that Donnan and Goff put them in. Every program has a down year here and there, just look around! Texas, Florida, USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, the list goes on….they’ve all hit rock bottom at some point in the last 10 years, yet your calling for Richt’s head after his FIRST season where he didn’t win 8 games. And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes.

16 suspensions – just since March 7, 2010 – and, 2 are Caleb Darnell King’s.

Just leave Caleb, for God’s sake son. 430 yards rushing all of 2010 and 2 catches for 8 yards.

Mark Richt is on the hot seat for 2011 and the reason is Caleb King.

Isn’t this backwards? I thought he left A.Christian to go to Parkview and not the other way around. This was about the time a relative got hired at Parkview? Guess I am thinking about the wrong dude? Either way, he has been a big bust and you could see it from the get-go.

More of the same. Discipline at UGA has been almost nonexistent in recent years under Richt.

Look at what Air Force did to Tech’s triple option last night. Tech had a little more success against the last team they played. I’m not sure, but I think it’s safe to say that UGA wouldn’t take one player from Air Force’s starting defense. Not enough stars next to their names. Something is seriously wrong with this program, and it starts with Richt.

Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedfreakinR&B said so that’s why. I am sick and tired of every Tech, Auburn and Vanderbilt bandwagon fan that I could absolutely explode. And….I mean it…to. Even the best fans go through a dry spell every now and again. And coaches like Saban, Meyer, Miles, even Spurrier, Bryant, Paterno, and Dooley back in the day had their fair share of highly touted recruits who didn’t pan out. That’s life as a coach. Hell, that’s life in general. Yall brought up Jasper Sanks and how we should’ve seen that coming. Guess what….he was ranked higher than friggin Jamal Lewis at the time!! Everyone wanted him, and he played well up until about halfway through his career. Remember Demetrius Summers at South Carolina? #1 back in the nation out of high school, didn’t even finish 3 years. Marcus Dupree at OU? I know yall saw that ESPN 30 for 30 on him. How about ole Time to Die Chris Rainey at Florida? One of Meyer’s most prized recruits, and he should be locked up to go along with his lack of consistent production. Even high and mighty Cam Newton had his faults, and didn’t come cheap.

Trophy that he’ll eventually have to give back, and has Auburn on the brink of a Championship that they’ll one day have to forfeit, there are already some folks asking why UGA didn’t recruit him. It goes both ways in the recruitment process. As president, Obama signed economic stimulus legislation in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 in December 2010. Other domestic policy initiatives include the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010. In foreign policy, Obama gradually withdrew combat troops from Iraq, increased troop levels in Afghanistan, and signed an arms control treaty with Russia. In October 2009, Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. Prize laureate. On February 10, 2007, Obama Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. announced his candidacy for president of the United States in front of the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. The choice of the announcement site was viewed as symbolic because it was also where Abraham Lincoln delivered his historic “House Divided” speech in 1858. Obama emphasized the issues of rapidly ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care, in a campaign that projected themes of “hope” and “change”. Obama delivers his presidential election victory speech in Chicago’s Grant Park Zoo. The large number of candidates entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries. The field narrowed to a duel between Obama and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton after early contests, with the race remaining close throughout the primary process but with Obama gaining a steady lead in pledged delegates due to better long-range planning, superior fundraising, dominant organizing in caucus states, and better exploitation of delegate allocation rules. In my opinion Barak Obama would make an excellence SEC football coach and should pursue the Georgia vacancy in 2012. You hit it big on some decisions, and you suffer from others. That’s why you go ahead and prepare yourself just in case things don’t work out (i.e. – Gardner got Moreno, Ealey, Malcome, Samuel, Carlton Thomas, and Dontavious Jackson who were all top 20 running backs and came close to getting Stafon Johnson all around the same time). Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami?

And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes. More recently, UGA just got inched out by Florida and Miami for Mack Brown and Storm Johnson, and they’re on the cusp of getting Crowell. Knowing all that, how can you possibly say that Gardner and Richt are not doing their jobs? This kind of stuff happens at every institution, and the blame should NEVER be placed entirely on the school or coaches. I get so tired of reading articles and watching shows talking about how the coaches are responsible for everyone’s actions, and how guys like CMR are losing their grip with the players. You know what…..some people (i.e.- King) are just idiots who hurt themselves!!! Get over it!! Some posts on here have blamed Coach Gardner for recruiting him in the first place…..SO? Every other school in the SEC was too at the time. It has everything to do with SEC football and above. It has been said that this expression has stemmed from economists, who describe everything economic as affecting everything else, trying to find an expression which denotes the farthest logical connection from their current economic focus. In this way, the price of tea in China was used to denote the farthest possibility. It can also be used to denote an irrelevant topic. A common form “what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?”, is a retort to an irrelevant suggestion. This facetious usage implies that the topic under discussion might as well be the price of tea in China for all the relevance the interlocutor’s suggestion bears on it. In the United States, the phrase “What’s that got to do with the price of eggs?” has been in use since the 1920s. The variance “of tea in China” seems to date from the 1940s and may be influenced by the idiom All the Tea in China. Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. The British equivalent is “What’s that got to do with the price of fish?”[2] A Scottish variation is “What’s that got to do with the price of cheese?”There is also the derivative form of “what does that have to do with the price of rice in China,” due to the common association between countries of Asia and rice. It was big news, and everyone rejoiced when he signed…including myself and all you other Dawg fans on this page. He was a top 5 nationally ranked running back coveted by every major program. Are you calling their coaching staffs or schools stupid? No. Yall are the same type of people who would be whining if we didn’t recruit guys like Caleb. Even the best coaches like Saban, Meyer, Miles, even Spurrier, Bryant, Paterno, and Dooley back in the day had their fair share of highly touted recruits who didn’t pan out. That’s life as a coach. Hell, that’s life in general. Yall brought up Jasper Sanks and how we should’ve seen that coming. Guess what….he was ranked higher than friggin Jamal Lewis at the time!!

It goes both ways in the recruitment process. You hit it big on some decisions, and you suffer from others. The proposed Canada-U.S.trade agreement had been extremely controversial and divisive in Canada, and the 1988 Canadian election was fought almost exclusively on that issue. In that election more Canadians voted for anti-free trade parties (the Liberals and the New Democrats) but more seats in parliament were won by the pro-free trade Progressive Conservatives (PCs). Mulroney and the PCs had a parliamentary majority and were able to easily pass the Canada-U.S. FTA and NAFTA bills. However Mulroney himself had become deeply unpopular and resigned on June 25, 1993. He was replaced as Conservative leader and prime minister by Kim Campbell, who then led the PC party into the 1993 election where they were decimated by the Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami?

Liberal party under Jean Chrétien. Chrétien had campaigned on a promise to renegotiate or abrogate NAFTA but instead negotiated the two supplemental agreements with the new U.S. president. In the U.S., Bush, who had worked to “fast track” the signing prior to the end of his term, ran out of time and had to pass the required ratification and signing into law to incoming president Bill Clinton. Prior to sending it to the United States Senate, Clinton introduced clauses to protect American workers and allay the concerns of many House members. It also required U.S. partners to adhere to environmental practices and regulations similar to its own. The ability to enforce these clauses, especially with Mexico, and with much consideration and emotional discussion the House of Representatives approved NAFTA on November 17, 1993, by a vote of 234 to 200. The agreement’s supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. NAFTA passed the Senate 61-38. Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats. Clinton signed it into law on December 8, 1993; it went into effect on January 1, 1994. The goal of NAFTA was to eliminate barriers of trade and investment between the US, Canada and Mexico.

Honestly, I just don’t think the coaches are entirely to blame for it. If you keep saying that it’s not the players fault, then you’re just feeding it. You’re giving them a way out. Richt can’t sit there and hold King’s hand to walk him to all of his academic appointments. The kid has to grow up. I mean you’re saying if Richt had any integrity he’d kick King off the team, but that’s not how it works. A coach can’t take away scholarships based on a guys attitude just like, they can only bench them (which is what’ll more than likely happen). Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami?

A coach can’t take away scholarships based on a guys attitude just like, they can only bench them (which is what’ll more than likely happen). If they did have that power, college football would lose much of its stars because they’re all getting big heads like i said before. Unfortunately, when a kid signs to play, they really have to screw up big for the school to revoke it. And let’s face it, when King signed, he was a huge prospect. Every school in the SEC wanted him. If every recruit who signed to play college football turned out exactly like the coaches thought he would, they wouldn’t recruit so many guys, and there would be a lot more undefeated teams at the end of the season. There’s just no way to predict that kind of stuff. As for us “sickos” defending Richt, why not? The guy’s only been one of the best coaches in college football over the last decade, and has brought the Dawgs out of the cellar that Donnan and Goff put them in. Every program has a down year here and there, just look around! Texas, Florida, USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, the list goes on….they’ve all hit rock bottom at some point in the last 10 years, yet your calling for Richt’s head after his FIRST season where he didn’t win 8 games. And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes.

Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedfreakinR&B said so that’s why. I am sick and tired of every Tech, Auburn and Vanderbilt bandwagon fan that I could absolutely explode. And….I mean it…to. Even the best fans go through a dry spell every now and again. And coaches like Saban, Meyer, Miles, even Spurrier, Bryant, Paterno, and Dooley back in the day had their fair share of highly touted recruits who didn’t pan out. That’s life as a coach. Hell, that’s life in general. Yall brought up Jasper Sanks and how we should’ve seen that coming. Guess what….he was ranked higher than friggin Jamal Lewis at the time!! Everyone wanted him, and he played well up until about halfway through his career. Remember Demetrius Summers at South Carolina? #1 back in the nation out of high school, didn’t even finish 3 years. Marcus Dupree at OU? I know yall saw that ESPN 30 for 30 on him. How about ole Time to Die Chris Rainey at Florida? One of Meyer’s most prized recruits, and he should be locked up to go along with his lack of consistent production. Even high and mighty Cam Newton had his faults, and didn’t come cheap. Just because he borrowed a Heisman Trophy that he’ll eventually have to give back, and has Auburn on the brink of a Championship that they’ll one day have to forfeit, there are already some folks asking why UGA didn’t recruit him. It goes both ways in the recruitment process. January 1, 1994, brought the immediate elimination of tariffs on more than one half of U.S. imports from Mexico and more than one third of U.S. exports to Mexico. Within 10 years of the implementation of the agreement, all US-Mexico tariffs would be eliminated except for some U.S. agricultural exports to Mexico that were to be phased out in 15 years. Most US-Canada trade was already duty free. NAFTA also seeks to eliminate non-tariff trade barriers. Maquiladoras (Mexican factories that take in imported raw materials and produce goods for export) have become the landmark of trade in Mexico. Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami?

These are plants that moved to this region from the United States, hence the debate over the loss of American jobs. Hufbauer’s (2005) book shows that income in the maquiladora sector has increased 15.5% since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994. Other sectors now benefit from the free trade agreement, and the share of exports from non-border states has increased in the last five years while the share of exports from maquiladora-border states has decreased. This has allowed for the rapid growth of non-border metropolitan areas, such as Toluca, León and Puebla; all three larger in population than Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, and Reynosa. Also contentious is NAFTA’s Chapter 19, which subjects antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) determinations with binational panel review instead of, or in addition to, conventional judicial review. For example, in the United States, review of agency decisions imposing antidumping and countervailing duties are normally heard before the U.S. Court of International Trade, an Article III court. NAFTA parties, however, have the option of appealing the decisions to binational panels composed of five citizens from the two relevant NAFTA countries. Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. The panelists are generally lawyers experienced in international trade law. Since the NAFTA does not include substantive provisions concerning AD/CVD, the panel is charged with determining whether final agency determinations involving AD/CVD conform with the country’s domestic law. Chapter 19 can be considered as somewhat of an anomaly in international dispute settlement since it does not apply international law, but requires a panel composed of individuals from many countries to reexamine the application of one country’s domestic law. That’s why you go ahead and prepare yourself just in case things don’t work out (i.e. – Gardner got Moreno, Ealey, Malcome, Samuel, Carlton Thomas, and Dontavious Jackson who were all top 20 running backs and came close to getting Stafon Johnson all around the same time). More recently, UGA just got inched out by Florida and Miami for Mack Brown and Storm Johnson, and they’re on the cusp of getting Crowell. Knowing all that, how can you possibly say that Gardner and Richt are not doing their jobs? The fact is that our society babies these kids today into thinking that they’re not responsible for their own actions. It’s always someone else’s fault. They’re given a god-like, invincible status before they’re even old enough to legally drink. Nobody wants to admit that sometimes an individual is just stupid, and made a dumb mistake, and that it’s nobody’s fault but their own. Instead, they start looking for heads to role, and they blow things way out of proportion.

For you people, get off your bandwagon, be proud of your team and the best coach ever at the helm of your school who is bringing in among the country’s best talent (Yes I said that, Richt’s better than Dooley), and quit trying to make yourself sound smart by using information that you know nothing about.

As president, Obama signed economic stimulus legislation in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 in December 2010.

In foreign policy, Obama gradually withdrew combat troops from Iraq, increased troop levels in Afghanistan, and signed an arms control treaty with Russia. In October 2009, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. On February 10, 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for president of the United States in front of the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. The choice of the announcement site was viewed as symbolic because it was also where Abraham Lincoln delivered his historic “House Divided” speech in 1858. Obama emphasized the issues of rapidly ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care, in a campaign that projected themes of “hope” and “change”. Obama delivers his presidential election victory speech in Chicago’s Grant Park Zoo. The large number of candidates entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries. The field narrowed to a duel between Obama and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton after early contests, with the race remaining close throughout the primary process but with Obama gaining a steady lead in pledged delegates due to better long-range planning, superior fundraising, dominant organizing in caucus states, and better exploitation of delegate allocation rules.

It goes both ways in the recruitment process. In my opinion Barak Obama would make an excellence SEC football coach and should pursue the Georgia vacancy in 2012. This kind of stuff happens at every institution, and the blame should NEVER be placed entirely on the school or coaches. I get so tired of reading articles and watching shows talking about how the coaches are responsible for everyone’s actions, and how guys like CMR are losing their grip with the players. You know what…..some people (i.e.- King) are just idiots who hurt themselves!!! Get over it!! Some posts on here have blamed Coach Gardner for recruiting him in the first place…..SO? Every other school in the SEC was too at the time. It was big news, and everyone rejoiced when he signed…including myself and all you other Dawg fans on this page. He was a top 5 nationally ranked running back coveted by every major program. Are you calling their coaching staffs or schools stupid? No. Yall are the same type of people who would be whining if we didn’t recruit guys like Caleb.

It has everything to do with SEC football and above. It has been said that this expression has stemmed from economists, who describe everything economic as affecting everything else, trying to find an expression which denotes the farthest logical connection from their current economic focus. In this way, the price of tea in China was used to denote the farthest possibility. It can also be used to denote an irrelevant topic. A common form “what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?”, is a retort to an irrelevant suggestion. This facetious usage implies that the topic under discussion might as well be the price of tea in China for all the relevance the interlocutor’s suggestion bears on it. In the United States, the phrase “What’s that got to do with the price of eggs?” has been in use since the 1920s. Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. The variance “of tea in China” seems to date from the 1940s and may be influenced by the idiom All the Tea in China.[2] The British equivalent is “What’s that got to do with the price of fish?”[2] A Scottish variation is “What’s that got to do with the price of cheese?” There is also the derivative form of “what does that have to do with the price of rice in China,” due to the common association between countries of Asia and rice.

Unfortunately, when a kid signs to play, they really have to screw up big for the school to revoke it. And let’s face it, when King signed, he was a huge prospect. Every school in the SEC wanted him. If every recruit who signed to play college football turned out exactly like the coaches thought he would, they wouldn’t recruit so many guys, and there would be a lot more undefeated teams at the end of the season. There’s just no way to predict that kind of stuff. As for us “sickos” defending Richt, why not? The guy’s only been one of the best coaches in college football over the last decade, and has brought the Dawgs out of the cellar that Donnan and Goff put them in. Every program has a down year here and there, just look around! Texas, Florida, USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, the list goes on….they’ve all hit rock bottom at some point in the last 10 years, yet your calling for Richt’s head after his FIRST season where he didn’t win 8 games. And we’re the sickos? Come on man, pay attention to college football every now and then, and get off your high horse. It doesn’t take a college education to open your eyes.
For you people, get off your bandwagon, be proud of your team and the best coach ever at the helm of your school who is bringing in among the country’s best talent (Yes I said that, Richt’s better than Dooley), and quit trying to make yourself sound smart by using information that you know nothing about. That’s life as a coach. Hell, that’s life in general. Yall brought up Jasper Sanks and how we should’ve seen that coming. Guess what….he was ranked higher than friggin Jamal Lewis at the time!! Everyone wanted him, and he played well up until about halfway through his career. Remember Demetrius Summers at South Carolina? #1 back in the nation out of high school, didn’t even finish 3 years. Marcus Dupree at OU? I know yall saw that ESPN 30 for 30 on him. How about ole Time to Die Chris Rainey at Florida? One of Meyer’s most prized recruits, and he should be locked up to go along with his lack of consistent production. Even high and mighty Cam Newton had his faults, and didn’t come cheap. Just because he borrowed a Heisman Trophy that he’ll eventually have to give back, and has Auburn on the brink of a Championship that they’ll one day have to forfeit, there are already some folks asking why UGA didn’t recruit him. It goes both ways in the recruitment process. You hit it big on some decisions, and you suffer from others. That’s why you go ahead and prepare yourself just in case things don’t work out (i.e. – Gardner got Moreno, Ealey, Malcome, Samuel, The proposed Canada-U.S.trade agreement had been extremely controversial and divisive in Canada, and the 1988 Canadian election was fought almost exclusively on that issue. In that election more Canadians voted for anti-free trade parties (the Liberals and the New Democrats) but more seats in parliament were won by the pro-free trade Progressive Conservatives (PCs). Mulroney and the PCs had a parliamentary majority and were able to easily pass the Canada-U.S. FTA and NAFTA bills. However Mulroney himself had become deeply unpopular and resigned on June 25, 1993. He was replaced as Conservative leader and prime minister by Kim Campbell, who then led the PC party into the 1993 election where they were decimated by the Liberal party under Jean Chrétien. Chrétien had campaigned on a promise to renegotiate or abrogate NAFTA but instead negotiated the two supplemental agreements with the new U.S. president. In the U.S., Bush, who had worked to “fast track” the signing prior to the end of his term, ran out of time and had to pass the required ratification and signing into law to incoming president Bill Clinton. Prior to sending it to the United States Senate, Clinton introduced clauses to protect American workers and allay the concerns of many House members. It also required U.S. partners to adhere to environmental practices and regulations similar to its own. Because Mr. All Knowing, IBleedR&B said so that’s why. I’ve had it with the “I’m better than you are” type of bloggers here like IBleedR&B. I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami? The truth is that’s just the culture today. Snoop Dawg, I’m with you about the attitude of the players in football these days (like the gangsta rap on field you mentioned and the kicking guys off the team for academic issues) But do you see Cam Newton getting kicked off his team, Rainey in Florida, or Pryor at Ohio State, or even half of the thugs at FSU and Miami? The truth is that’s just the culture today. I hate as much as everyone else, but it’s not going to change. If you look around, it’s happening everywhere. Nearly all of the big studs in college football are developing “show me” or “i like me some me” attitudes and losing the “TEAM” element. Honestly, I just don’t think the coaches are entirely to blame for it. If you keep saying that it’s not the players fault, then you’re just feeding it. You’re giving them a way out. Richt can’t sit there and hold King’s hand to walk him to all of his academic appointments. The kid has to grow up. I mean you’re saying if Richt had any integrity he’d kick King off the team, but that’s not how it works.

The Dawgs will not need king to blow out some lowly commuter school like UCF. Ga may put up half a hundred on that weak D. Look for Grantham’s D to hold UCF under 13. The Dawgs are back! UGA wins the SEC east in 2011—mark it down!

He needs to be released from the team. King has been given more than enough chances to prove himself. I am a true UGA fan and I am sick of all the thugs and irresponsibility that these college players are bringing to the all the football programs. It is time to clean house and get players that care about playing the game and care about the free education they are getting because of their athletic talent.

Caleb just does not take any responsibility for his actions, the coaches can not lead 125 players to every class /appointment every day. Coach Mark Richt has as much or more integrity as any coach in country and his win % is in top 10 the past 10 years, the best ever at Georgia.

Dawgs need 2 RB’s badly in this class for future and I predict again next year will be a double digit win season and whoever HT and other clueless bloggers can find some other school to gripe about.

as for CK… it’s just too bad. i don’t know what sort of kid he is, but it’s always a shame to see someone piss it all away. i hope he gets it together and helps us (and himself) next year, but i’m not optimistic about it. sounds like richt is at the end of his rope.

King is the result of not enforcing discipline. Players are products of their environment. UGA has set a precedence for not having discipline. Off field issues, penalties, and failure to do the basics correctly is all a result of no discipline. Great organizations are TEAMS that do the basics correctly every time. Richt is responsible for what happens AND what fails to happen! I would have fired Richt after the 2008 season. That was a poor job of coaching given the talent returning from the 2007 season. Don’t expect anything to change as long as Richt is the head coach.

If you guy’s get beat in the Liberty Bowl dont bother coming home. It’s already been an embarrasing season and this would put the nail in the coffin.
Coach Richt and the Alumni will continue to ignore the fans pleas to rid theirselves of Mike Bobo. New AD and he is anal as well.
Telling it like it is. Waste of all that talent over 3 years not knowing how to utilize them in different areas lies directly on the shoulders on Mark Richt.

UGA man here. Caleb King, ealey and AJ Green and the Ohio State thugs, the GT thugs like Robert Hall or the UT thugs or Scam Newton and any athlete that chooses to act like a 13 year old and who can bench 375 pounds BUT REFUSES to act like a man can look to the US ARY or Navy or Marines or AF.

These men are the same age, for whatever reason, they chose to serve their nation. THEY are there when they have to be up and ready. They are real men.

Now, any athlete reading this ought to grow up ……………act like a man and that includes any UGA athlete who has it so eassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssy in life.

I have followed prep, college and professional sports in Georgia for over half a century. Talk about a glutton for punishment! Oh well. First I wish Happy New Year to all. Be safe and happy. I claimed ouster of Ilya Kovalchuck would make Thrashers better. Missed that one. No better just no worse. Have been right more than wrong on sports thoughts throughout years. Keeping Mark Richt is an affront to Bulldog Nation! That is not up for debate. Even the most diehard MR supporter should have been shocked into reality by FG decision. The Dawgs travel 99.9 yards (more or less) then MR orders a field goal on fourth and millimeters! What is wrong with THAT picture? MR had no intention of winning that game to embarrass UCF! Being a first bowl victim is, well, disatasteful. How many months did Dawgs have to prepare for this do or die bowl game? Hmmm. Yellow Jackets were chided mercilessly for scoring one TD against a service academy. How many TDs did Dawgs post against UCF? Hmmm. Letting teams like Dawgs, Gamecocks and Volunteers (only one with asterik due to corrupt officiating) in bowls is an affront to once proud SEC. An 0-3 mark is still and 0-3 mark! Buy out remainder of MR contract. Get him OUT of Athens before further damage is done! Right now I am not so concerned WHO is hired. Very few competent coaches would have a losing campaign with present talent base in Athens. Delaying imminent only prolongs total misery for Bulldog Nation! Know who wisest Bulldog is? Mascot! He feigned illness to miss wasted trip to Memphis, Tennessee. Smart doggy that one! Best again to everyone! :) :) :) :) STENDEK
