More bad news for wide receivers (updated)
(Updated Wednesday night)
For the sixth consecutive game, Georgia won’t have its full corps of wide receivers available Saturday against Tennessee.
Sophomore Marlon Brown won’t play because of a shoulder injury suffered during Georgia’s practice on Monday, coach Mark Richt said Wednesday.
That continues a string of bad news for the Bulldogs’ wide receivers.
Georgia played the first four games of the season without A.J. Green, who was suspended by the NCAA for selling his Independence Bowl jersey, and the fifth game without Kris Durham, who was sidelined with what he called a stretched nerve in his neck. Also, Tavarres King missed the first game because of a suspension for an underage-possession-of-alcohol arrest.
Durham has said he hopes and plans to play against Tennessee Saturday, but he practiced in a green non-contact jersey Tuesday and Wednesday. Richt said after Wednesday’s practice that Durham’s chances of playing Saturday are 50-50.
Brown has caught seven passes for 92 yards this season. In last week’s 29-27 loss at Colorado, he caught the first touchdown pass of his UGA career.

Only a Tech fan will bring up the score of a game 2 years ago in order to gain leverage in an argument, when they got beat by the same team since the win they are trying to quote.
Once again, Techies… thanks for visiting the UGA blog, to try and feel better about yourselves. Dawg Nation will not implode they way you fantasize.
If UGA had your schedule, it would be very interesting to see what their record is right now…..

Does anybody knw the last bowl win for Tech? And against who? Wasn’t it on a blue turf? Or did they lose that one too, in front of the 400 “fans” who bought tickets?

A big difference in the UGA blog rooms and the Tech blog rooms:
In UGA blog room, fans do indeed talk smack about Tech. They are an in state rival whom fanbases hate, so yes, smack is talked.
In a Tech blog room, the article is usually about UGA, because of the obsession coming out of Tech “Nation” over all things Dawgs, PLUS the “fans” only talk about UGA.

Sanford Drive you are the biggest fool of them all.
Can you not read? UGA having loyal fans? you are a good example
of why my baby will not go to UGA and waste his education opportunities.
The reason we are going to BAMA is because we know you are running

I, for one agree with CMR that the players should be the first out because it is about them…as for still allowing Bobo to call plays…well…not so much…
I can’t believe CMR agreed to it “bacause that’s what Saban does”…geez!

UGA’s biggest problems are:
1. Strength and Conditioning Program. Too Many Injuries Too many time getting blown off the ball. The Strength and Conditioning program should also build and develop “MENTAL TOUGHNESS” It is very apparent the program is not changing and developing any kinds of toughness at all.
2. UGA’s Coaching Staff inablility to make changes during a game. Too many times I have UGA run 1 play out of 1 formation and that formation alone. UGA’s staff appears to have a wait…wait….wait approach to coaching….this is how the players are playing too.
3. UGA’s Coaching staff inability to recruit good players that are great people. I realize that college students are not going to go to Church evey Sunday and Stay in his or her room every night studying, but come on There has been too many arrest…..2 Problems UGA brings in 5 star recruits not 5 star people..also the players do not fear Richt and his passive laid back persona……

Not sure who you talk to but I hope Carlton Thomas is limited on plays. He is not a big time Divison 1 back. Falls down at contact. I like the kids spirit and think he tries hard enough but this isn’t pop warner football.
King ran like a beast Saturday. He averaged over 9 yards a carry and pass blocks better. I think he is my favorite. The one who produces!

I guess if the dawgs were hitting all summer the players would be a lil tougher by week 6 of the season. It must be bad when UGA players can tackle their own players in practice but can’t do it to other teams players in a game. I know it ain’t great at TECH but it is better than UGA.
I read somewhere on here that the Mascot of the Loser of this game has to eat the road kill possum because they will be 0 for in the SEC.

Just read the new article on this web site that refers to Richt and Fulmer having similarities in the way their programs slid into medocrity. You know you have huge issues if they are comparing your coach to Fulhmer.

Now Steve Hummer is in the journalistic picture crucifying Mark Richt. He even called Phil Fulmer to add to the fire. Leave it alone and allow Coach Richt and his staff work it out. Our society is so instant gratification oriented, that it is sick.

Hey “this jacket” and “cracker jacket:”
Why are you guys even on this sit?. To me, this shows an infatuation with the other team…UGA. Get a life and cry on your own site you lazy insects. By the way, what is the series between the two teams over the last 8 games? 1 out of 8?? Who is your daddy, GT??

Sanford, please continue your barking, but I just want to state that I am also a “pickup driving, Cracker Barrell eating (love the grilled catfish, fried too), down South (live in South Georgia, that’s a country isn’t it?) country boy” too. I don’t buy the red stuff, and all the “golden” stuff at Cracker Barrell was bought out about three years ago. Hey, they will not even sell Valdosta State University National Championship stuff (red) in Valdosta. Looks like ya’ll really do “run this state.”

Sanford drive, just because every HS dropout inbred in the state goes to Wal Mart & buys a camo-car flag with a G on it does not signify “trumping” Tech in any way. You’re the typical redneck that gives UGA fans a bad rap.
To the ACTUAL UGA GRADS, that are fans out there, we feel your pain right now. Hopefully next season is better for both programs.

by the way; ajg should monitor the progress of the possible nfl player lockout next year before he decides to announce availability for the pro draft. he may be better off playing another year of college football instead of watching it on tv while there is no nfl season next year.

It’s ok. These are the same fans who talk trash about UF (who’s won 17 out of the last 20)
Multiple SEC teams have won National Titles since UGA won their last one.
Alabama, UF, LSU and Auburn are each top 15 teams. UGA has lost in their last games played against South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, LSU, UT and Kentucky. (Over half of the SEC right there)
But don’t worry, help must be on the way because Ol’ Herschel is posing nude and Mark Richt is taking suggestions (and implementing them) from female callers on his radio show!

I understand we haven’t had a great year at all! We are all mad about it. But, I’m so sick and tired of every HEADLINE being so negative!! I know and realize things don’t and haven’t looked great, but I guess that comes with the territory! We need a win and maybe, just maybe, the AJC people will print something a little less negative. I guess what it does is get people to read the article and then start popping off about CMR, CTG, players, etc… I for one have had it with all the negativity! Can’t someone find something good to write about? I know I’ve opened a can of worms with this from anyone who may read this, but I’ve had about enough of the negative news. AJC…put something positive in here. NOW…all Tech, Bama, Florida, SC, UT, Auburn people start slamming the Dawgs, me and any other of us blind homers, who back the Dawgs no matter what! I guess a WIN will cure a lot!

What are the odds that CMR (Helen Hunt’s stunt double) orders the team on the field after UGA scores a touchdown???
This is assuming UGA scores a touchdown.

Go to the Ghetto in Atlanta and you will see the UGA G on cars, hats, flags, and Mailboxes too. Please don’t tell me all those fans actually went to UGA. The Dawgs have thousands of fans that can’t tie their shoes or pull up their pants but call themselves Dawg Fans. Hell, we know most UGA stuff wearing people have never ever been to a game muchless to a class.

GT Jeff, “To the ACTUAL UGA GRADS, that are fans out there, we feel your pain right now. Hopefully next season is better for both programs”
Thanks, I wish you could reel in some of your fans comments. I know it hurt losing to Kansas. Those games hurt the worse because you are suppose to win them. MSU & Colorado were just damn shames. Arkansas and SC were “just another day in the SEC” as Les Miles likes to put it.
