One last notebook from SEC Media Days: A.J. on season, Spurrier on arrests, more

Back from Hoover, Ala., with some leftovers:

  • Amazing, how quickly the subject changes in college athletics. When the SEC held its spring meetings in Destin, Fla.,  in early June, the dominant topic was conference expansion/realignment. Seven weeks later at Media Days, that subject was hardly broached, replaced by the new Hot Topic: the agent mess.
  • And for that matter, I only heard two questions in Hoover about Damon Evans. The news cycle moves fast.
  • One of my favorite moments of Media Days was hearing Derek Dooley praise his high school coach, Billy Henderson, from the stage.  “Probably had as big an impact on my coaching style as anybody,” Dooley said. “Just an incredible way with people.” I had the good fortune of covering Henderson’s Clarke Central High School teams long ago, and it was nice to hear Dooley spreading the word about the greatness of his old coach.
  • One more thing from Dooley on stage, talking this time about his dad Vince:

“The first couple of weeks on the job [at Tennessee], he’d call me and he’d say, ‘Do you know who so-and-so is?’

“I’d say, ‘No, I don’t know who that is.’

“‘What do you mean you don’t know who that is? He was all-conference [for Tennessee]  in 1962!’

“I said, ‘Dad, I don’t even know who my defensive end is. Give me a chance.’

“He’s all-consumed Tennessee, but that’s how he does things. He gets so into it. He’s learning the geography of the state, the political history of the state, the great Civil War battles of the state, what’s the motto of the state, the history of winning, all the coaches, the records. That’s what he’s doing.”

  • Here’s LSU All-American cornerback Patrick Peterson comparing preseason All-SEC wide receivers Julio Jones of Alabama and A.J. Green of Georgia, both of whom he faced last season: “They are the two most dynamic receivers I’ve ever seen. . . . Julio’s more stocky. He can put a block on you. A.J. is slender, fast. He goes up for balls like no other.”
  • Georgia was picked by the SEC media to finish second in the East -– a lot closer to third than to first. “A lot of people are counting us out,” Green said. “I believe it’s good for us with a young quarterback just to fly under the radar. Really don’t put him in a lot of pressure that he has to do too much. I believe … we’re going to open a lot of eyes coming into September, going towards the end of the season.”
  • You notice that Alabama had both of the first-team running backs on the media’s preseason-All SEC team? Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson.
  • South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier on the increasing number of arrests of college football players: “They’re more common now because players are getting arrested for everything that in the old days they did not get arrested for. I can sort of remember back in our day, if you were out and something happened, they would say, ‘Can you get home? We’ll drive you home.’ They did not go into the tank that night. But nowadays, as we all know, you go straight to jail if you’ve broken the law. There’s no room for error. Times are a little different than they were 25, 30 years ago.”
  • Auburn linebacker Josh Bynes minced no words about players who are in trouble because of dealings with sports agents:  “It’s up to the player to make the right decision, period. At the end of the day, if you take that risk as a player, you have to face the consequences.”
  • Coaches have varying degrees of familiarity and comfort with social-media vehicles like Facebook and Twitter. Arkansas’ Bobby Petrino is among the not-so-familiar. He referred to someone’s “Facemask page.”
  • Georgia punter Drew Butler: “It’s always good to be around the fans because they have stories about my dad, some that he probably doesn’t know that I know about him. It’s always good for blackmail.”
  • And a happy birthday to Kevin Butler, College Football Hall of Famer and Drew’s dad, who is 48 today.

Trent Richardson is the best back in the SEC, and he has become a complete player at TB. He just plain deserves to be there, in spite of the fact that Ingram won the Heisman.

I’m really having a hard time with Tennessee this year. I really have a rivalry hatred for them, but it’s (so far) very difficult to dislike Dooley.

Well said by Mr. Spurrier. Very true. And I think there’s way too much media attention to it these days. Most offenses are very minor. But once football season cranks up, they’ll have something to report on daily so they won’t have to search for crap like that as much.

Baloney. UGA has many times more players arrested than any other school. It’s not because anything has changed, it’s because Mark Richt has completely lost control of the morons and goons he recruits. Recruit players with some morals and self discipline, and this doesn’t happen.

Richt has lost control both on and off the field, and that’s why UGA will never win the SEC while Richt is head coach.

D. Dooley is nothing but a slick talkin’ lawyer.He’ll be just as dirty as it takes to coach the Vols…

tT me after hearing him speak..he’s as full of shyatt as they come and will cheat to win at UT like the rest of their coaches have…from anything I’ve read, this humble act is just that..an act in that he is very much like his mom and we all know what an overblown egotistical a-hole she can be..

I was hoping for better, but after the non-actions taken after the severe beating incident, I believe he is just as corrupt as he needs to be in his job …

Yep… A slick Talkin Lawyer willing to cheat sounds right to me…

If I remember right, Herschel showed up on campus in a brand new Smokey and the Bandit Edition TA and was the first player allowed to live off campus in an apartment as a freshman.

Oh yeah, don’t forget the whole Jan Kemp thing.

There’s never been a Dooley who’s ever had a problem with cheating to win and personally I have no problem with that…..I love my contract…I’m set for life,,,LMMFAO…

While I think we very well may lose a couple of games, I don’t feel nearly as worried about the season as some of our haters do. Last season, I was worried. Look at it this way, our turnover ratio will improve. Period. Let everyone keep saying and thinking how bad we’re going to be. More bulletin board material. Hell, tell us we’re going to be dead last and go 0-12. At this rate of how bad we supposedly are, maybe we’ll be the first team in history to have less than zero wins.

I also saw earlier, like in the mid 70s, the Alan Leavitt kick vs Tech in Athens. Wow. That game was real foggy and his kick was a long one and traveled through the clouds that were low hanging like smoke. I guess the ref saw it cross the goal posts toward the bridge.

I also saw Spike Jones’ record punt ( till about a year or two ago ) vs Auburn? or NC? that rolled and rolled and rolled for around 79 yards or something. Late 1960s that punt was. I was a senior in HS with one pretty date from home. Never forget that great Athens weekend. Sold me on UGA.

Now that we’re in the off-season, wouldn’t this be the perfect time to take an in-depth look at UGA and have a serious discussion about the problems at UGA and why the arrest rate of players is the highest in the country? it’s common knowledge that UGA is a party school, but have any football players every actually graduated with a real degree? Jan Kemp exposed the school and the coaches almost three decades ago, but there is no sign that anything has improved; if anything, the arrest rate shows that things are getting more outrageous every year while the clueless Mark Richt has absolutely no control over his players. And then there is the infamous “red panties” incident that will haunt UGA for decades.

UGA has a lot bigger problem than hiring a new AD.

UGA has become a major embarrassment to all Georgians, and we want some answers starting now.

“…cornerback Patrick Peterson comparing Jones and Green…”; exactly how I’ve felt. But, I’ve also seen A.J. put some pretty good blocks on people.

One of the few times I’ve agreed with Darth Vizor. Actually, a little more these last few years since he’s been at S.C. He’s been somewhat humbled, I think. He even admits he’s had way less to “mouth off about” the last few years. With reporters acting like they do nowadays (EG asking D.Dooley if coaches congratulate him for not being like Kiffin; making a “story” out fairly insignificant happenings; reporting every little offense, etc etc), it’s no wonder there’s a perception that players are getting into trouble more than in the past. That and I agree that John Law don’t cut em any slack anymore; not in Athens-town anyway.

Awright Dawg fans…first we gotta beat La-La; then S.C. Don’t get to talkin’ ’bout beating anybody else just yet. We have a pretty tough sked coming up here this year. One game at a time. I mention La-La ’cause we do have to teak our 2nd and 3rd string substitutions; new D; new QB; etc. And, I think DawgNation will be disappointed if we allow La-La to score more than seven points. THEN, we have a tough, tough game with S.C. The Dawgs MUST having a very good rush attack this year; but that isn’t a proven commodity…yet. So, we’ll see right off the bat.

Goooo Dawgs! THWT!

42 arrests and counting for the last three years. Should we include the DUIs for officials in the athletic department, or should they be counted separately? Maybe show the totals together like this: 42/2.

Red panties on my mind...

I was talking about really, really good receivers like Jordan Shipley or Golden Tate. Julio or A.J. should have taken notes from them while holding their jocks last year. And don’t give me that SEC hype….Jordan Shipley ran all over the Alabama cornerbacks with a true freshman throwing to him in a national championship game…..Julio had one (1) catch in the game.

They may or may not be….I don’t annoint people as “elite” before they show it on the field. These are two of the most over-hyped WRs I have ever seen. Jordan Shipley had more receiving yards and TDs last year than Julio and Green combined (1485 to 1404 yards; 13 TDs to 10 TDs) yet most SEC people would ask “Jordan who, what team did he play for” LOL

Watch the pups cry all the way back to Athens. SCAR should have won last year (look at the stats) but they’ll give UGAY a nice beatdown this year. Our D is going to be better than last year and our O (w/ a little help from our O-LINE) will be better than last year.

SCAR isn’t more talented on the field but our coaching will win out.

PS. AJ Green is a solid college player. Sidney Rice is an All-Pro NFL Pro-bowler that has the same body type. The difference is that Sidney has a 45 inch vertical and AJ will never. I actually think that Alshon Jeffrey will outplay AJ this year. Let’s find out.

Ah yes, the Gator fans are whining because their receivers aren’t “receiving” as much coverage – on a UGA blog.

You might try looking a little closer to Gainesville next time. Try Mike Bianchi. I heard he loves the Gators.

Hey TinaG,

This has to be the most ignoramous statements I’ve ever read on a blog….”UGA will never win the SEC while Richt is head coach”

In case you’ve forgotten….. UGA – 2002 SEC Champions & 2005 SEC Champions.

I’m talking about the future. Richt’s best days are behind him. He won when he had some control over the players. He’s lost that control, both on and off the field. And that’s why he will not win the SEC again.

Jordan Shipley??!! What’s he got to do with AJ Green and SEC Media Days? But, while we’re on the subject … 3rd round; 84th pick by the Bengals. A.J. is projected (by many “experts”) to be a first round pick after his JUNIOR year. And we all know J.Jones will go high in the draft. BOTH will go before the 84th pick in the 3rd round…guaranteed. Well, we don’t ALL know that. lol

Don’t forget also that AJ missed three games last year; so his total yds won’t set the world on fire.

@borodawg: No matter how much lipstick you put on those over-hyped receivers Julio and A.J……they’re still just average receivers. Heck, Riley Cooper had a much better year than either one of them last year…how’s that for “SEC”. As far as early round draft projections go…I’m sure you’ve heard of DuhMarcus Russell…”SEC” as well….LMAO

northwinds… Just bc you are hater you must admit that both of these recievers are elite players and project to be first round draft picks. As far as being on vacation at the beach you must not have too many friends bc you have been on this blog for 2 days. Also if A.J. was the only reciever we had to throw to his numbers would look more like D. Thomas’. Get a life dude go out on the beach and talk to some women.

I don’t think that the players getting in trouble is the coach’s fault. It goes back to how they were raised by THEIR PARENTS, NOT BY COACH RICHT. When you leave home you shouldn’t forget where you came from. Some are just tasting what they call freedom and don’t know how to handle it. Coach doesn’t have an agreement with the local law to not arrest his players as many of the other coaches do–heard this from a policeman in Florida, SC and Alabama–so it does happen in other cities. Most times the coach comes and gets them and takes care of the problems and nobody else knows about it. It’s time for all of them to grow up and show respect not only to the coach but to their parents that taught them better.
