Juggling topics with A.J. Green, from NCAA to NFL to unicycles
ATHENS — Since word got out last month that the NCAA’s investigation of possible improper dealings between players and agents had reached Georgia, A.J. Green has declined comment on the matter except to say he has never been to Miami, scene of an agent-affiliated party that triggered the probe at several schools.
After practice Friday, Green said he looks forward to saying more.
“I hope it’s coming up soon,” he said. “It should be sometime next week, or whenever. I don’t know.”
He said the issue has “not at all” been a distraction.
On another topic, Georgia’s star wide receiver said he is focused on making the most of his junior season, not on the widespread expectation that he’ll enter next year’s NFL draft.
“You just can’t get caught up in the hype and that kind of stuff,” Green said. “You’re still in college; you’ve still got another year. There’s nothing like college. When you get in that real world, it’s nothing but business. Around here . . . you can have fun hanging around with your friends. I’m just going to take it day-by-day and game-by-game and get better each day.”
Now, something you might not know about Green: He revealed that he was on his elementary school’s “juggling team.”
“I guess,” he said, “that helped with my hand-eye coordination a lot.”
Green said he picked up the skill in second grade.
“I can juggle, like, four balls,” he said. “I can juggle everything –- pens, bowling pins, whatever.”
Green also revealed that he started riding a unicycle in fourth grade.
So now you know.
————————
A few more things:
- Georgia coach Mark Richt said Friday’s practice was “a whole lot better” than Thursday’s, which he said in retrospect “stunk.”
- Richt expects offensive guard Cordy Glenn, sidelined with mononucleosis, to return to practice by the week of the opening game, “if not sooner.”
- Georgia’s Blair Walsh was named Friday to the preseason watch list for the Lou Groza Award, which goes to college football’s top placekicker.
- UGA’s annual Fans’ Picture Day is Saturday in Sanford Stadium. Interim mascot “Russ” will be available for photos from 1-3 p.m., while players and coaches will be available for photos and autographs from 3-5 p.m.
- And finally, quarterback Aaron Murray laughed when asked if he’ll lobby Green to stick around for his senior season in 2011. “You never know, there might be a [NFL] lockout or something,” Murray said. “I won’t complain too much if he stays for that. I’m like, ‘Lockout! Lockout!’”

Arrests of UGA students on partying charges up sharplyShareThisPrint E-mail .By Kristi E. Swartz
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s been two weeks since the University of Georgia was named the No. 1 party school in the nation by the Princeton Review. Apparently, authorities are paying attention.

.Twenty University of Georgia students were arrested for alcohol-related charges Thursday night in Athens, including underage possession of alcohol and DUI, according to Athens-Clarke County jail records.
Those arrests – by university and Athens-Clarke County police – bring the total of drug-and alcohol-related arrests made in the last two weeks to 43, according to The Red and Black, the campus newspaper.
According to The Red and Black, arrests of UGA students on drug-and-alcohol charges were already running ahead of recent years. The paper said prior to Thursday night’s crackdown, there had been 23 drug-and-alcohol-related arrests since Aug. 9. There were 15 arrests during the same two-week period a year ago. In 2008, 13 arrests were made during that time period, The Red and Black said.
UGA and Athens-Clarke County police departments also are conducting checkpoints Friday night, the campus newspaper said. Classes began this week at the school of 33,000 students.
Attempts by the AJC to contact Athens-Clarke County police spokespersons were unsuccessful Friday night.

Since dawgtards seem to love living in the past, how about remembering the Jan Kemp trial, which exposed UGA and Vince Dooley for the jokes that they were. My favorite quote from the trial was this one:
O. Hale Almand Jr., a lawyer for the defense, offered a justification for the favorable treatment accorded the athletes, citing a hypothetical player. “We may not make a university student out of him,” he told the jury, “but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbageman when he gets through with his athletic career.”
The best thing about the trial was that it completely killed Vince Dooley’s shot at Congress, since he was exposed as a fraud and a cheat during the trial. Make no mistake – Dooley knew everything that was going on.
Nothing has changed in the almost three decades since the trial. If anything, the abuses are even worse. Exhibit #1: Jim Harrick and son.
Today the players are even more illiterate and felonious and, well, just plain stupid, as evidenced by their arrest records and record number of penalties. Even Vince Dooley couldn’t have controlled this mob, much less Mark Richt. And now even the AD is a drunk debaucherer.

To the anti-UGA posters, will not embarrass you by naming names, but:
Going through life full of bitterness is no way to live. Pull for your favorite team, enjoy whatever success they may have this season, but don’t let your envy of the University of Georgia dominate your life. If you need professional help to get over this jealousy, seek it. It is no disgrace. Talk to someone you trust about the issues you are facing that cause you to see life as a glass half empty, rather than a glass half full.

In case you forgot, I’ll help you remember. How about Smokin Joe Hamilton……or maybe Joe Burns? I knew Joe Burns back in High School, and he was so dumb, he couldn’t even spell his own name if you gave him the first 2 letters. That scandal pretty much killed O’Liar’s chances to be a head coach at a relevant program……because the whole world saw him for what he was and is……a lying, cheating, drunken, shanty-Irishman.

College football is aobut memories from last year and many years past …….. like 1975.
GT Head Coach Pepper Rodgers allowed the ABC Sports TV cameras into the GT lockeroom at the half, thinking that the UGA game would be close. It was THE game of the week and on Thanksgiving night in prime time on national tv. Well, it was UGA 42-0 and so Rodgers did the two step in front of the camera and told jokes. HE was a real clown. Yes ………about 42-0 at the half.
During another game in another year ………. Clown Rodgers snatched his head phones so hard that they came up the line and hit him in the head and dropped him to his knees. Now, that was a real clown.

Get your facts straight before you accuse anybody of anything. Georgia violated no NCAA rule in the “Jan Kemp” episode and suffered no sanctions from the NCAA. Academic records were not falsified. That case was about wrongful dismissal of a faculty member, not violations of NCAA rules or falsification of records.
Georgia was following the NCAA rules, and as a result the NCAA implemented new rules about making satisfactory progress toward a degree as being a requirement for eligibility. The most significant probation for violating that rule was handed down to Georgia Tech about 7 years ago, not Georgia

“…Paul Johnson’s quote about college QB’s… He asked “How many NFL quarterbacks, before Stafford, have there been from UGA?” Implying his offense would produce a QB just as well as any other school.”
Actually, not only Tarkenton, but Zeke Bratkowski as well, going back even further in history. However, I think the point Johnson was making is that Georgia turns out about as many QBs as Georgia Tech in modern times (1 for Georgia, 0 for Georgia Tech.) That is statistically not very significant due to the low population of Georgia and Georgia Tech QBs in the NFL in the last generation (1 in 30 years.)
Georgia actually had another QB that played in the NFL for several years, Andy Johnson. Andy played for the Patriots for 8 years as a running back in the ’70s-early ’80s. I think he was on their all-decade team for the ’70s.

Hines Ward played 1 year as QB and finished up his career at Georgia as a WR. However, we’ve forgotten Quincy Carter. He started for the Cowboys his rookie year, but lost the job. He was a high draft pick, so he ought to be counted in the stats. That would be 2 NFL QBs. Sorry, Coach Johnson.

For all of you Dawg and AJ Green haters out there, I must note that Green has played with a different QB each year of his college career. 08 was his freshman year and Stafford was his man, last year was his sophomore year and Cox was his man, this year he’s in his junior year and Murray is his man. If he leaves for the draft, that would mean that he is a top 10 selection and he’s had a different QB to pass him the ball ever since he’s been playing college ball. Name me one WR that has been drafted in the top 10 that can say that.

Dawgtards ruin this state: Just because you were denied admission to UGA as a freshman, does not mean you can’t finish there. Don’t be such a sour puss…if you keep your GPA up high enough at Gainesville State, maybe one day you can walk the hallowed grounds too. Good luck little fella. There is hope for you.

Attention, everyone, especially dawgtards. We will now observe a moment of silence in memory of Saint Jan Kemp, who exposed the shameful practices at UGA that were initiated and carried out by Vince Dooley. Dooley’s image as a coach and a nice guy were forever shattered during the trial, not to mention the one million dollars that dawgtards had to pay Saint Jan. These practices of recruiting morons and coddling them for four years, them tossing them out like garbage, are still going on, but at least the world knows what’s going on now.
And now, the moment of silence…

What’s this recent fascination with Jan Kemp from 20 yrs ago. Is she the popular new CosPlay choice or something?
Aside from the fact that you routinely butchers the facts and wouldn’t have a clue who she was if you couldn’t keep looking her up, nobody in this modern day gives a damn, least not UGA fans. The sad thing is this is what you guys puts your heads together and came up just confirms the stereotype of nerdy tech fans.

The facts are – Tech will probably do OK again in the ACC (ANYBODY CARE CONFERENCE) conference and UGA will probably be better this year in the toughest conference in America – anybody want to argue with 4 national championships in a row and the almost routine embarassment of the perenially favorite Buckeyes at the hands of the SEC opponent? But in the end, UGA will stomp Tech and give the human Boob another camera op to tell the world the UGA game doesn’t really matter – that he has bigger fish to fry. How did that big fish taste in the bowl game there, Boob Man?

At least UGA’s academic problems took place in the ’80’s. How embarrasing is it for the State of Georgia for that Tech had that scandalous NCAA Probation just 5 short years ago?
**********************************************
ATLANTA — The NCAA placed Georgia Tech on two years of probation Thursday for using 17 academically ineligible athletes in four sports, including 11 in football.
“Many of these student-athletes were prominent members of the team, including multiple-year starters who had received conference and national recognition for their athletic performances,” Marsh said.
“Many of these student-athletes were prominent members of the team, including multiple-year starters who had received conference and national recognition for their athletic performances,” Marsh said.
Also, the NCAA vacated Tech’s records in the sports between the 1998-99 and 2004-05 academic years and issued a public reprimand and censure.
************************************************
And you Techies continue to bring up the Jan Kemp situation from the 80’s? Better clean up your own stinking house . . .

These tech-school knuckleheads are so friggin’ jealous of us, even when we have a down year, that it is just “plain insane”.
Man, they should be counting their blessings. They should be thankful AJ didn’t participate in that backyard smackdown last November. The way we were running up and down the field on those hapless clowns, AJ might have hauled in 200 plus. Know what that means? Yes, North Avenue Intelligentsia… it would have meant adding another 20 points to the already embarassing result of our victory. That, clueless jacket “fans”, is just the way it is. Get used to the taste. You’ll be receiving another large portion come November. We expect you to eat everything on your plate. We want your tummies full when you make that annual trek out to Boise!

Attention :AltamahaDawg and other uninformed UGAG fans:
What Jan Kemp proved was that UGAG had an established process of Admitting & Playing
student athletes that were known to be illiterate in several cases, or other players who no ability to do ANY college level work. But, UGAG fans have NEVER been about academic integrity and student-athlete deevelopment. UGAG has ALWAYS been about winning, no matter how much cheating was necessary.
The process was so entrenched and corrupt that even former UGAG President Fred Davison was forced to resign, rather than be the one & only UGAG President to ever be fired by the State Goverment of Georgia.
Jan Kemp was awarded over $1Miilion by a federal judge after having proven in court, with no denial by UGAG, that UGAG had essentially been guilty of instituionally-sanctioned academic fraud on an unprecedented level.
UGAG is sports program that masquerades as a university.
History and FACTS have proven it over and over and over and over and over…

UGA folks can brag all you want to about beating Tech in football most years, and that’s perfectly fair. What’s also fair is to point out that with a history of Jan Kemp (Vince Dooley exposed as a slimy fraud), Jim Harrick, and now Damon Evans, UGA is truly “The Cesspool of the South,” and is richly deserving of that title. No one outside of Georgia has any respect for UGA or its athletic department, and that is a fact. It has been said many times: “Tech people are proud of their school, Georgia people are proud of their team.” What a really crappy legacy for dawgtards to be proud of!
UGA fans can now return to your delapidated mobile homes and resume waiting for your unemployment checks.
And watching those red panties falling from the sky, always a good time-killer for thUGA dawgtards. :-) :-) :-)

The Tech problem was clearly a one-time inadvertant mistake. The slimy situation that Jan Kemp exposed had been going on for years, and still goes on. When she threatened to expose the crappy things that were going on at UGA, Vince Dooley had her fired. She sued, and UGA had to pay her more than a million dollars. At least the trial revealed Vince Dooley as a supreme slimeball, and it ruined his chances for the political career that he dreamed of.
Many years later, Jim Harrick showed that nothing has changed. UGA is still a party school with a bunch of drunks and a bunch of illiterate athletes who seldom finish school and end up living in a rundown single-wide and working in the most menial jobs if they have a job at all. And yes, there are those unfortunate 42 arrests in three years.
So get your facts right, dawgturd. And go suck on some red panties.
