This remains the highlight of Caleb King's UGA career. (AJC photo by Brant Sanderlin)
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.

Auburn uses the hurry up to get in 15 rushes a quarter, or 60 a game, at about 5 yards a carry, that’s about 280 yards rushing a game.

UGA don’t need no more top recruits. Just need to run the ball for 250 a game.
WHAT TYPE OF RECRUITS WILL HELP YOU DO THAT LITTLE MAN?

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.
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!! 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, 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.

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.

King can be a New Era Dexter Manley right. Play pro ball, not be able to read his contract, end up broke and on drugs, and then have to tell the world he can’t even read the prepared speech he has to give when the NFL kicks him out of the league. Yea, that sounds about right. King don’t need no edumacation.

And another thing…..quit acting like you know anything about football (Shawn in particular). “UGA should go to the spread like Auburn….”. I have a question for you, who’s Auburn’s backup QB? I don’t know either. Do you think their spread O would be nearly as successful without Newton? No, their’s is just the right talent, for the right system, at the right time. Look at Oregon and their spread O. Name one team in the PAC-10 with a defense that can matchup with the SEC. I’m not saying Oregon’s bad, but honestly, aside from Stanford, there’s no competition in that conference to oppose them. If they went up against tough defenses week in and week out, they’d get worn down eventually.
And for those saying “we need to just run for 250 yards a game” or “it’s easy, just give them each 5+ carries a quarter” and all that other crap….just spare us all. Football’s not a mathematical equation. Look at Tech. All they do is run. A few years ago everyone was blown away by the triple option. But you know what, it’s not unbeatable (as UGA proved last year when they shut the Wreck run game down).
I agree, to win it’s important to have a run game, and that if you can establish it, you control the clock, and you’re offense can really open up. But in no way is it that easy. Why is the SEC always the best conference? Their Defenses. There are some of the best D’s made up of the toughest athletes in the SEC these days, and they focus on stopping the run first. Bottom line, more carries doesn’t always equal more yards, and more yards doesn’t always equal a win. Go back to the locker room folks, and fix your game plan
P.S. And like I said earlier, the War Eagle nation better soak it up while they can, because they’ll have to give it all back 5 years down the road when this case with Newton gets brought up again.

“Bobo, you CAN’T THROW THE BALL IN THE HOUSE, remember? OK, here’s the thing. I will get fired if we don’t have a good year this season. 6-6 is only good is you’re a basketball player, not good for a team’s record. Ok, now we need to WIN THE SEC. Here’s the thing, I don’t care if Murrsay ever throws another pass. I just need to win some games. Now, I’ve nticed, that the last 3 teasm who’ve won the SEC, all run this ball, like, a LOT. They don’t pass a lot. They run a lot. A lot, measn 250 yardsa a game. So, tell Murray to practice his hand off’s this year, we won’t need his arm.”

Simple. Just make all Universities and Colleges require all athletes to meet the same entry requirements as the general student population.

My record is 43-3 when I get a 100 yard rusher? Ok. And what? My record is 2-0 when I get a 100 yard rusher against Florida, and 0-9 when I don’t.”
