Who’s had a great spring? Cordy Glenn, Bobo answers (with list of spring award winners)
I asked Mike Bobo after Georgia’s football practice Thursday to name an offensive player who’s had a great spring.
Bobo, the offensive coordinator, didn’t hesitate to single out . . . left guard Cordy Glenn.
So it was no surprise that when Georgia announced its annual spring football awards this morning, Glenn was tabbed as the offense’s MVP.
“I’d say Cordy Glenn has had an outstanding spring,” Bobo said Thursday. “Just outstanding, the way he’s worked, the way he’s competed.
“He’s had the right mindset every day: ‘I’m coming out to try to get better.’ He’s got tremendous talent, but just to see the improvement in him, the knowledge of what we’re doing. . . .
“Early on, obviously as a freshman, he had to depend on a lot of guys next to him to help him out. Now he pretty much knows what we’re doing, and he’s able to execute and then use his God-given ability to dominate. And that’s what kind of player we think he can be.”
Mark Richt this morning announced the full list of annual spring football awards:
The Coffee County Hustle Award (given to the players showing the most desire during spring drills): tailback Washaun Ealey and defensive linemen Demarcus Dobbs and DeAngelo Tyson.
MVP (offense): Glenn.
MVP (defense): outside linebacker Justin Houston.
True Grit Award (offense): fullback Shaun Chapas.
True Grit Award (defense): linebacker Akeem Dent.
Most Improved player (offense): tailback Carlton Thomas.
Most improved player (defense): cornerbacks Vance Cuff and Brandon Boykin.
Outstanding walk-ons (offense): fullbacks Cameron Allen and Kevin Lanier.
Outstanding walk-on (defense): outside linebacker Reuben Faloughi.
And another bit of good news about Faloughi: Richt said he has been awarded a scholarship.
Faloughi attended Evans High School (near Augusta) and turned down Division I-AA scholarship offers to walk on at Georgia.
“We knew he was a very good player out of high school,” Richt said earlier this week. “We knew he had other opportunities coming out of high school, but he really wanted to come to Georgia and prove he could do it. He’s doing very well.”

Someone mentioned the UGA trophy case, or should say trophy cases: 132 SEC championships, 37 NCAA titles. I am guessing UGA has more national championships in more sports than any other SEC team. Here they are: men’s sports- football, baseball, golf, tennis. Women’s sports- tennis, golf, swimming, gymnastics. Now that is a well-balanced athletic program! Let’s hear it for the Dogs!

Good job Reuben!! I hope to see a little more of Carlton Thomas this year in some position. And what about Dontavious Jackson?? I saw him play in high school and he was awesome. (more awesome than Ealey, who I also saw play in high school, but he’s better now) Can Jackson play a slot receiver or return some punts or something?

NOW WE JUST NEED A GREAT SCHEDULER…INSTEAD OF THE IDIOT WHO ARRANGED OUR NON-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE FOR THE NEXT 5 SEASONS.
I HAVE LISTED MY 2010 SEASON TICKETS ON EBAY FOR $800 (THEY COST ME $1000) AND NOBODY HAS EVEN MADE ON OFFER…WE HAVE THE WORST HOME SCHEDULE I CAN EVER REMEMBER FOR 2010.
HERE ARE 3 OF GEORGIA’S SIX HOME GAMES:
LOUISIANA
VANDERBILT
IDAHO STATE
YOU COULD NOT PAY ME TO WASTE A SATURDAY DRIVING TO ATHENS FOR LOUISIANA OR IDAHO STATE…WHAT IS THE PURPOSE IN DIVING SO LOW?
AND 2011 LOOKS EVEN WORSE…HERE ARE FOUR OF SEVEN HOME GAMES:
LOUISVILLE
COASTAL CAROLINA
MISS STATE
NEW MEXICO STATE
KENTUCKY
GEORGIA SHOULD WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP THE NEXT TWO YEARS…BUT WON’T.

OF COURSE NOBODY KNOWS HOW BAD OUR SCHEDULE IS BECAUSE GEORGIADOGS.COM HAS DELETED ALL FUTURE SCHEDULES FROM THEIR WEBSITE. (THEY WERE AVAILABLE TO VIEW UNTIL ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO.)
THANK YOU, AURTHUR JOHNSON….ASST. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF SCHEDULING.

17 of 20, Florida will NEVER even the series record, Florida’s program was non existent until Spurrier arrived, everyone in the conference kicked your ass. The great third round draft pick Tebow is gone and Urban will be soon.

Hey ozzfest, if it’s not worth driving to Athens you’re not a true Georgia fan and shouldn’t buy season tickets, leave them for somone who cares.

I would say spending a few thousand dollars FLYING to Tempe, Stillwater and Shreveport (not many of us showed up) Boulder trumps driving to see the Dogs beat a team 64-12.
I just hate cupcakes.

Kennesaw Dawg, just to show you what a ignorant ass you are; of course the series started way before I was born in 1952, but since then UF holds a slight edge. The domination was really before WWll. In regards to Tebow, how sad is it a 3rd round pick owned your lame asses and funny thing, all the Georgia fans hopes Urban goes while we hope Richt stays.

Remember Kennesaw, I owned you too so it wont end with Tebow OR Urban leaving. Spurrier just woke the Gators up.

The Oline is the key to the season guys.The QB and Defense will get all the pub.. but the big uglies on both side of the line are the keys to this year’s success.

Ah…the GT fans on here trying to find something to throw at us when they know another butt whipping is coming this season. Glenn is a monster….340 lbs, 500 lb bench press. He’ll be a first round draft pick. I loved the way him and Ben Jones and Clint Boling steamrolled Tech’s pathetic little DL last season. Morgan’s gone to the pros (not the he helped them much last season against us) so this season ought to be even more of a mauling in the trenches. Early prediction: UGA 45 Yech 17 Ealey & King: combined 345 yards rushing.

CMR will NEVER!! win a NC at UGA he had his chances, the dog fans are so far up CMR’s Arse it’s pathetic. all he is wanting to do is to turn them into christians thats not a bad thing but that’s all he cares about. he is not trying to turn them into champions.. How long did it take spurrier to win a NC? how bout Meyer, Saban, Miles, fulmer.. CMR MIGHT be the 3rd best coach in the SEC sorry doggies that’s not good enough!! BTW most dog fans are satisfied with 9 or a 10 win season that’s all CMR is good for!!

As I said….GT fans coming up with anything they can think of to put down UGA…take the previous comment by “UGA??? LOL”…here is a classic example of a bitter Tech fan who is still upset about their defeat at the hands of the Dawgs. Notice him (or her) trying to throw out everything he can think of to insult MR and the UGA program, even attacking his Christian and moral ethics. This is typical of a liberal, pathetic, world of warcraft playing Techie who grits his teeth everytime he thinks about Washaun Ealey running through the Tech defense like it wasn’t even there. PJ is nowhere near the coach or the man that MR is. MR is a man of intergrity and all PJ can do is throw out stupid comments like the “hit them in the nose” thing. That was something my 8 year old would say for crying out loud! Tech is no where near the program that UGA is and never will be. The best team they had in ages was defeated by the worse team we’ve had in ages. They had their chance to shift the balance of power, but they failed. Don’t whine about it now. Tech is back where they belong….on bottom.
