Mr. Moore:
I have read your columns for many years and would like to let you know you will be missed. In the days before e-mail, my wife would save up all of the AJC editions we received while I was at sea (24 year Navy vet) and I would read them when I returned. Thanks for a great column about Dr. Rice and thanks for a ton of memories. Don’t let a few sorry individuals get you down.

I just wanted to chime in as well and say that I too have followed your work here for about 20 years. And like Sonny said “don’t let the door hit you on the way out”.

Hey Terence,

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. I knew you wouldn’t last long on an even playing field with your readers (blogs). Good luck in your new career with the Metter Advertiser! What goes around comes around son and you just got yours!

LizDawg, I’m a Georgia fan and I care about Homer Rice. He is a class act and was a great coach. For the record, I am also a huge Paul Johnson fan. When he was at Georgia Southern I thought he was one of the best college football coaches in the country. He did nothing at Navy or in his first year of at Tech to change my mind.

One more thing, I think Terence Moore is a really good columnist. Why in the world do some of you feel the need to express such hatred and disrespect to him (or any sportswriter)? If you don’t agree with his opinions, big deal…we are talking about sports.

This is an outstanding article that touches on relationships and Paul Johnson. It also has inspired me to share some thoughts on line for the first time. Paul is all about relationships. From his days in Statesboro, as both a very young assistant for ER and then as the HC, he has formed strong bonds with Georgia high school coaches. Bonds so strong that he could easily return to Georgia recruiting for UH and Navy. The offense is not the factor, it is the respect that our HS coaches have for the man. Paul will at some point soon get very close to out-recruiting UGA. But he will always keep in mind the lessons learned at Navy and will recruit athletes with character. With Coach Johnson you get the discipline of Pat Dye with some of the Danny Ford down-home qualities. But more importantly, the class and honesty of Bobby Ross. “Good old fashion hate” dominates these comments on a daily basis – never forget this coach NEVER lost to Army.

Good job Terrance.Dr.Rice is the walking definition of class act.

Jethro,Sugar Hill was probably one of the ones saying Urban Meyer’s offense couldn’t work in the SEC and Tebow can’t throw.
