UGA resumes spring football practice — for real this time
Spring break is over at UGA. Classes resumed Monday. Football practice resumes Tuesday.
The Bulldogs, you might recall, opened spring football practice on March 10, holding one of their NCAA-allotted 15 practices before dispersing for the university’s spring break. Twelve days later, practice No. 2 is scheduled for late Tuesday afternoon, and spring ball begins in earnest now. The team will practice three or four times per week through the G-Day game on April 16.
Things will be hopping around the Butts-Mehre building Tuesday. The activity starts at mid-morning with Georgia’s “Pro Day” — 14 players from last season’s team working out for NFL scouts in the weight room and on the practice field. And about the time the current Bulldogs are wrapping up football practice this evening, the Georgia and Georgia Tech baseball teams will be playing across the street at Foley Field.
Speaking of the baseball game: It starts at 7:06 p.m. and will be televised on CSS; it will be Georgia’s first home game since March 6. The Bulldogs (9-11 overall) have played their past nine games in seven different stadiums from California to South Carolina, going 6-3 in that stretch. The game against Tech will be Georgia’s 11th so far this season against a ranked opponent.
Pro Day and football practice are closed to the public, per usual. But the Pro Day workouts will be shown online. ESPN3.com will have live streaming coverage beginning at 10 a.m. at http://espn.go.com/espn3/index?id=162227
More later in the day …

Win With,
Didn’t Richt sign a deal with a hair spray company to help keep his receding hair parted down the middle? I jut love when the wind blows an he patts his head to make sure everything is still in place. Must be some pretty good stuff. At least he hasn’t gone to the comb-over yet. Perhaps there’s a hairclub endorsement deal in the works to go along with his “built ford tough” campaign.

So after this clown gets handed his behind over at Emerson’s blog after gloating the entire basketball season, he has to spout racist nonsense and then get all his sockpuppets in order over here. Laughable, pathetic.
Thom, Sam, Delta, they’re all the same dude. Posting over and over and over again, as if it’d somehow change Richt/Fox dominance over the Nerds. So sad, so sad.

Buckeye what is important is what CMR is not covering up, hasn’t started covering up his players bad decisions ..see there is something worse than the Fulmer Cup and your sweater vest wearing hypocrite of a coach is living proof. And how much is he getting paid to wear those sweater vests and from whom is he getting paid?

You look the fool.
Beating Tech is not and should not be our claim to fame. We are even or close with Auburn and we don’t have a good run vs the GATORS. You can laugh and say 9-1 against TECH, but the Gators laugh and say 17-3. Don’t get all Puffed-up over beating Tech when we are still the ALSO RAN in the SEC Least. Bobo is a joke as an OC. He can’t match wits with best DCs in the SEC. He is over matched an Richt has done noting to fix that PROBLEM. Bobo can recruit talent, but he can’t run an offence.

Wow, we went 6-7 last season. You’d think we bought a player and won the NC with all the haters on here. Or played and entire season with 5 ineligible players who’s coach knew they were ineligible. If UGA football is so lousy and insignificant why waste your time telling us how bad it is? Let us wallow in our own sorrow and misery. We don’t need your help. Go, please go find a life beyond UGA football criticism. Tell us how great your perfect team is.
BTW, it is great to be a Georgia Bulldog. I know jealously breeds contempt. Go be contempt somewhere else.

Are you talking to me? I never saw your question. I would love to see Murray play a COMPLETE game and to be coached in a Game Plan that after halftime makes adjustments to allow us to still win the game. I find no JOY in playing and beating USA. My money could be better spent in my yard and buying a 12-pack of Bud and a Papa John’s Pizza while sitting on my own sofa.7 home games and 3 of those games against JOKE OOC competition plus Vandy doesn’t make me want to open the Purse to buy season tickets.

Murray has not proven he is not a WINNER. Do I want him to start against BSU? Probably YES. can Bobo make a good game plan to win and make adjustments at half if is not going well? I don’t know, but I think Bobo has no answers for the last 30 minutes.

The UGA trophy case doesn’t have a Crystal Football like the one that sits in the trophy case on North Avenue. We can hate the Nerds all we want, but they do have things we don’t. TECH, Auburn, Tennessee, Bama, LSU, and the Gators have the Tiffany Crystal Football. What do we have? 90 wins and a bunch or recruits that will play on Sunday for Millions of dollars, but don’t win the Dawgs a Damn thing. Please tell me I am wrong.

Delta….. are you really bragging about a CO Natl Championship where you skated through a weak ACC schedule and beat Nebraska and tied Colorado? Richt has not brought home the trophy yet but his record at Georgia is up there with the best. He had a down year after losing a #1 pick in the draft and the best RB in the draft so rebuild came too soon. You will see… things are changing!

Delta, you just described the perfect game day Saturday. Visiting with old friends, making new ones and enjoying time with your family. That’s what it is ALL about. Not who we play. I wouldn’t get too upset about it if I were you. You sound like you have been blessed with good friends/family and Saturday’s in Sanford.
BTW, Goff’s years and Donnan were closer to Hades for me than anything Richt has done. We know that Richt can win because he has in the past. Regardless we need to support the kids and the guy leading them this year because he isn’t going anywhere. If he doesn’t pull down a lot of wins and a bowl game win this year he knows what will happen.
I have to get home before the snow hits. Everybody have a nice and warm evening for me.

Bobo and CMR really don’t want competition, LeMay could out-perform Murray but he will still start. CMR believes in running back by committee, not giving one RB a chance for 20 or more carries. Why does it take so long for a QB to jell into the “Georgia offensive system”, but Newton can win a BCSC with one year at Auburn? Why is this “vaulted system so hard to learn by a QB, but I can guess the offensive plays after watching 1 quarter?
The haters are out

With all the “misery” and “lousiness” and “CMR failures” UGA, is over the last 10+ years one of ther winningest college programs in football.
UGA over many, MANY, MANY years that include Donnan, Goff and CMR and Dooley and Butts, is the # 4 ALL TIME WINNING BOWL team behind # 1 Alabama and the REAL USC and Penn State. UGA was one game ( Liberty Bowl did it ) behind # 3 PN State.

We “want that NC trophy”?? Really? Are you serious???
Folks ………….. you do not go to college for a NC. That peculiar status IS coveted and greatly admired by uneducated fools that worship at the feet of the Scam Newtons and Ray Lewis scum of to the world. A NC is not any indicator of whether one has attended a great school and ends up with a career. NC’s are really for kids. Nice, they are; no doubt about it, but the NC is not a barometer of whether a school is wonderful.
I went to UGA in 196,7 so as to learn and eventually go into a field. I did that and retired at age 56 with only one NC in my UGA era. My experience is fabulous and if UGA had 10 NCs, it would not have allowed me to retire any sooner. See? College is about a career and stuff that matters. College is about FOREVER !!

I think Tech Tied UNC in 90. Colorado has 2 ties and a 5th down win. Any TECH fans reading please correct me if I have that wrong. 1990 was a great year for the Nerds. Their football team played and won a National Championship and the Basketball team was in the Final Four with Duke and UNLV. I don’t remember the other team. Tech lost close with the 3 point shooters and Duke was blown out by UNLV by like 20.The NATS fans had a great year that year and we can’t take that away. I want to not be looking up at UF, UF and hoping we are better than USC and UK. We deserve better. We have the money and pull to beat Bama, LSU, and the heated GATORS for a shot at the National Title. 10 wins a year with 3 weak OOC games Vandy and Kentucky do not a good season make.
