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 …

Perhaps if you trash more UGA players, they would play better for you.

Two Athens-Clarke County police officers were wounded Tuesday afternoon when a suspect fired on them, according to Athens police, and news outlets were reporting one of the officers died.
What has happened to OUR nice town. I miss the 40 Watt with the B-52’s , REM, Drivin ‘n Cryn, and the Dixie Dregs.There was a real Local band I think was called the MUD FLAPS. Is that right? They had a guy that played the Washboard, Cowbell, and the Mouth Harp.

Georgia will go 6-6 or 7-5 in 2011, sad year. Maybe next year.

I hope the DREAM TEAM is not like a Big budget Hollywood Movie. PAY(not really) Play a bunch of STARS and the Movie/FOOTBALL team still flops. McGarity please get us to WIN, but drop the JOKE teams for home games that cost me about $400/gm/ticket for the DONATION and Tickets. That doesn’t even factor in Fuel and Tailgating costs.

I’ve had less interested in our Spring’s each season Richt’s been here. I guess since we already know who’ll be starting at each position, since Richt announced Murray & Crowell as starters, it’s kind of boring going through the whole Spring charade. I guess if you’re a real naiive person, you might enjoy it.

Who do you have us losing to this year? I got Boise, SC, MSU, Fla, and Auburn. You figure toss ups are Tech, Vols, and maybe Wildcats?

I got us beating Coastal Carolina, Vanderbilt, New Mexico St, Ole Miss, Jackets & Vols. Kentucky plays us tough, I don’t feel good about this season, especially seeing how bad we played in 2010 without AJ.

I got us beatin up on Nex Mex St., Coast Caro & Vandy. I think we steal a game from Tennessee. Unfortunately, we’ll lose the rest. I got us at 4-8, best case scenario.

Brandon,
You don’t think we can beat Ole Mississippi? Come on now. Easy win. I think we’ll take the Jackets 7 Vols too, 6-6, no way 4-8, true, Jackets & Vols are not gimmes, but I don’t see us losing those 2 games.

Yep, we’ll beat Ole Miss, forgot about them, but not Tech or Kentucky. We’ll steal one from Tennessee, but it will come down to the wire, their program is equal to ours right now. So, ok, 5-7. Best case, that’s it. No way we win more. No way.

Brandon,
Jackets & Vols are not expected to be good this year. Yes, they play us hard, but we’ll pull out those wins.

We beat BSU and get HIGH then the GameChickens bring down the Curtain on Rich’ts career in Athens. We get a break to get our feet against Costal Carolina and Ole Miss Bears(rebel mascot) before the REAL Bulldogs(no white painted needed) come to town. STRONG will bring the ATTITUDE. What will BOBO have to counter with? Tenn, Vandy and the Gators on the ROAD. we come home to play new Mexico St? I can’t see paying money for the games at Sanford. If we are 4-2 heading to play the GATORS I might think if we win that game we can win the SEC east and play in the DOME. After the Gators we have 3 home games and the Nerds in Atlanta.

What’s up fellas? Let’s see if the boys can finally do it this year, “The Georgia Way”, and get less wins than last year, like Richt has 7 times out of last 8 seasons.
The Georgia Way = Win less games than year before 7 out of 8 seasons

first 2 games will tell the story of our season. We start 2-0, look for 12 or 13 wins and an SEC title. We start 1-1, expect a solid year with 9 or 10 wins. We start 0-2, then expect another long year. Even if we start 0-2, the schedule is easy and .500 is likely

“Georgia will go 6-6 or 7-5 in 2011, sad year. Maybe next year.”
That sounds about right. In other words, Dawgs stink – again.

on another note, how about UGA baseball? Can’t pitch it, can’t catch it, can’t hit it How does Perno keep his job? They haven’t been relevent since they gagged in the NCAA’s 3 or 4 years ago.

Yea, what’s the big deal. Young lady at a public bar, fending off a kid who is trying to fondle her to the point that the bouncers have to escort him out to the parking lot, where he causes such a scene that the cops get involved, happens all the time. Thats normal.

The stewardess football expert says we don’t play anyone OOC yet we open with Boise and close with GT.
I hope your knowledge of airplanes is better for your passengers safety.
You sound to me like an obnoxious bleached blond bimbo who doesn’t know when to shut her piehole.

And your knowledge of what is normal behavior towards, or by, actual young ladies, leave a lot to be desired.
