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.

I think I’m the most disappointed in Russ. He started off so good last year, and after the first game, he was really looking good. I guess his old age got to him, or he pulled a hamstring, or something. Anyway, he just hasn’t been the same. But, just when things are about as bleak as possible, I hear we’ve got a new BIG STUD DAWG right around the corner.

Advice to Coach Richt-
DON’T let the press or fans coach your team. You have been very successful and know literally hundreds of times more than they do about coaching a football team and leading young men.
Like a slumping hitter in baseball. Listen to the ones that got you there. Simplify!

sorry to say but the UT game looks like a loss if you’ve actually watched these two teams recently. i don’t understand why we are double digit favorites; we will be lucky to win the darn game!

What the hell ever happened to Orson Charles? Seriously, I thought that guy was going to be something special. I think he plays like one play per game now and its so obvious that we’re going to throw to him that the other defense puts 4 or 5 defenders on him.

I heard a rumor that if the dawgs can find a way to win this weekend, there will be a keg party at his house, with free cab rides starting at midnight. Any truth to that?

Dawgfan this is a UGA Blog? I am still pretty sure this is an AJC blog. It might be about UGA but I am not on Dawgs.com. I think I typed in AJC.com and the Sports page.

The FULMERIZING of Richt? Isn’t that what happens at The Eagle Bar on Ponce de Leon? I thought that was why APD busted the place a few months back.

We used to be known as “Tailback U”, now we’re famous as “Hamstring U” or “Shoulder U”. And, by the fourth quarter, we’re “Tired U”…what has happened to our strength & conditioning programs?

I always wonder why UGA fans feel that their program is an elite program? Passionate about their Dawgs, absolutely as good as any program. Putting them in the history books as a prominent program with the likes of Alabama, Texas, Nebraska, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, Oklahoma Notre Dame? No way. I just don’t get it.

More physical practices will help both sides of the ball and a better strength and conditioning coach will prevent some of the injuries from normal contact on the football field. The whole team is too soft and need to be in pads all the way until Thursday. Too soft of a week will make for a soft team and it has been showing every week. Great job CMR. Should have been like this every week. Injuries happen and if you practice like that, your body will get used to the punishment.

Hey Einsteindawg, “Tailback U?” really. I have never heard that. Can you explain? Herschel, absolutely yes, Knowshon, kinda
When I think of Tailback U its USC or Ohio State

Who needs wide receivers when you’ve got a bulldozing offensive line and a 6′4″ 235 lb. speedster like Carlton Thomas who can blast off right tackle and take it to the house any time we choose.

You know my opinion of why UGA isn’t winning. I won’t repeat it. But I will urge this of all UGA supporters: We must show up saturday loud and rambunctious as if we were 5-0. There will be big time recruits there and a bad home crowd will steer them to Ala, Clem, Aub, Fla, TN, etc. Showing up negative and booing our coaches and kids doesn’t help a bit. GO DAWGS

Tim you and your paper are both a pos. You put that article up leading on the front page about the punishment of the players by the University. For what? Why? WTH does it matter, and who’s business is it anyway? You really had nothing better to do than do an open records for that info? Is it relevant at all? Hasn’t it already been talked about before? Have they not already received their punishment from the team for these actions? Their is a reason you closed the comments before they started. You know it, I know it, and everyone else knows it. You would have been beat down in the comments for that piece of crap report. When is enough, enough? These are teenage kids. Do they really deserve you and your employer snooping around about their school records? This was a very shameful act by you and your employer. You should really be ashamed of yourself…of course I think you are. That’s why you didn’t open it up to comment. you knew the s%#t storm coming your way if you did.

Will y’all get off the Bunglebee’s a$$es. They have nothing to say on their own blog because it will be another 8 or 10 years before they beat UGA. Paul Johnson will be gone/run out of town by then. We were blessed to have REGGIE and ole “What’s his name” who is going a great job as head coach of the Buffalo Bills(I’m serious). CPJ and his World War l offense will guarantee us another decade of Bee beatdowns. Business as usual versus the Techies.

I cannot argue with you, we suck REAL bad this year. Not going to even try to make an excuse, we simply arent very good.
To give you unsolicited advice, I would calm down a little bit before making the trip to Athens. Drunk frat boys tend to be short tempered and unafraid.

Believe UGA will play a good game, might not win, but will look better than last week. Am confident this is a nightmare season for all the players and something they never considered at the beginning of the season. Life is a beach after all. Just have to keep trying and putting forth the effort and hopefully good things will start to happen. Program has definitely fallen but think that CMR has at least one more year to get things fixed such that the team is competitive in all games. Believe that UGA will be better, but has a long way to go to get back to top tier status. Have to get a big, strong running back and things will look a lot better!
