TAMPA — Headed over to the “Debartolo Team Luncheon” at the Tampa Convention Center shortly. Both teams will be present, along with some of their fans.
Afterward a number of players from both teams will be available for interviews. The Bulldogs return to practice at the University of Tampa this afternoon. I’ll have some reports later this afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon and evening, Georgia and Michigan State players got the royal treatment at Busch Gardens. The Bulldogs danced with belly dancers and hand-fed giraffes at the park’s expansive Serengeti wildlife exhibit. They also got to ride some of Busch Gardens’ world famous coasters, including the gargantuan ShieKra. Nothing like seeing muscle-bound football players scream like little girls!
Told of photos that show his mouth agape in terror, linebacker Christian Robinson laughed. “Actually, I was just yawning,” he said. “I was just very tired. I wasn’t actually scared at all.”
Eventually ‘fessing up, Robinson explained: “The thing is you come over the top and it stops and for three seconds you’re staring down thinking ‘this is about to happen.’ About halfway down you start to float out of your seat and there’s nothing to hold on to. I’m trying to squeeze next to Ben to have a little more stability. It was quite a feeling in your stomach.”
Quarterback Aaron Murray was hoarse on Thursday and he said it was from all the screaming he did on the coasters Wednesday night, particularly on the Sheikra, which features a 90 degree drop and reaches 70 miles per hour. “That was bad; I was freaking out. It was awful.”
Overall, the Georgia players said they have been having a blast in Tampa, including getting a good bit of free time to enjoy the area.
“We’re operating under a curfew,” junior nose guard John Jenkins said. “Everything is organized and we’re obliging by the curfew. It’s a pretty reasonable curfew. We’re going to have a good time within the rules.”
They’ll have to enjoy the freedom while it lasts as the attitude will turn increasingly serious as the Jan. 2 game against Michigan State looms closer.
UGA’s Steve Colquitt provided some great pictures from Wednesday’sBusch Gardens outing, a few of which I’ve included here:

You’re right, Chip, fantastic pictures. Although I hope they are taking things seriously, I’m really glad they’re getting a chance to have fun too. The last two bowl game locations haven’t really warranted that, and I’m sure the weather in Tampa is much warmer than Athens judging by the pics. Great article, looking forward to seeing more practice updates too.

@True Dawg Fan my point was the comparison of the girls softball team and the general co-ed population. Its the reverse of thinking the general co-ed population at Oregon look like the cheer leading squad..not knocking the girls at OU at all but they don’t compare favorably vs the cheer leaders but very few do, I think they choose them on a pure cuteness factor. Not that I’m really against that they are easy on the eyes.

The truth is, (and all grown men down here already knows this), if you took the thousands and thousands of co-eds from ANY major southern school and stood them in a line, you wouldnt be able to tell em apart. “uga can’t come close to competing with those ladies” may be the stupiest statement we see in here all day.

@Mike Honcho that’s a fair question and truth is that we are all a mite touchy due to the looming end of the college football season. It doesn’t seem to take much to set us at each others throats. Thanks for being the adult and straightening us all out. I’m sure you will see immediate improvement.

I was just checking out a MSU blog. Those people are ery overconfident that they will beat UGA by at least 14. I hope that their team is equally overconfident. Still, Dawgs need to bring their “A” game for the full 60 minutes to win this one.
I hate to say it, but the Auburn has been the only game this year that they showed up for a full 60 minutes. No knock at Auburn.
Maybe we can talk MSU to put on an Auburn uni…..

@WDE…sorry if I came across like a spoilsport…trust me, if anyone’s touchy about a 6 month absence of college football it’s me. In all seriousness, it is good to see the guys enjoying themselves in Tampa…from what I’ve heard they’ve been really focused/sharp in practice too. Hopefully they come into the game well-prepared, but loose and ready to leave it all on the field come Monday afternoon.

Uga players are at zoo playing, and submitting there paperwork for the nfl. Mich.st. players are practicing hard and getting ready to put another beating on Richt and his clown coaching staff. This will be the 4th good team that Richt has played, and it will be the 4th loss for this wonderful coach. Yet, McGarity is going to reward him with a raise and extention, and yet he is getting his ass handed to him in recruiting in his state. Only one commitment from the top 11 players in state. Bama and Saban is kicking richt’s ass in state, Jenkins, Ball, Lee, Greene, the tight end from Buford, the top corner in the state, i probably forgot someone, but at least 4 top 100 players from state committed to bama, and next year the top 2 players in the country are from ga, and both are committed to bama. Yet this clown deserves a raise and an extention. Richt is a joke, and UGA will never win an SECC as long as he is in charge. Plus the fact that half of UGA’s junior’s on defense are thinking about jumping to nfl, only tells you what the hell is going on in athens. Other coaches protect under classmen from agents and runners, yet Richt and his clown coaching staff have no clue who these people are. UGA=Joke, it should be getting old to UGA fans to sit and watch Bama, Auburn, Tenn, and Florida rape the state of top 100 players, yet UGA fans only sit there and applaud Richt and his pathetic coaching staff and his ability to recruit top talent when it really matters the most. Good luck UGA fans, after watching your wonder boy get his ass handed to him again on the field by the 4th team UGA played that was a decent team.

“Trash Talk is the Life Blood of football and UGa fans for damn sure.”
_______________________________________________________
A person SMART enough to know, would know that the lifeblood of college football is recruiting, not Trash Talking. And, a person SMART enough to know, would know that it’s NOT Life Blood, but lifeblood. You come on this blog, and you post all day every day. This the blog of the team who has BEAT you 10 of the 11 games of Mark Richt against your team. We won 31-17 and therefore have the BRAGGING RIGHTS.
1. ESPN rankings of bowl games is based upon what they feel are the best games for fans watching it. They ranked the BCS NC the # 1 bowl game. Then, you come in here offering your opinion about the ESPN bowl rankings – having NOT even bothered to read it. Your comments ? That ESPN did NOT consider the BCS NC Game a bowl game. Then, you state that there are not any interesting match-ups in bowl games. Well, the Utah Utes are not an interesting match-up UNRANKED not getting your team ranked for beating such a sorry team who in their last game lost to a 3-10 team. 7-5 Utah who lost to a 3-10 team, lost to a 6-7 team, and who lost to 2 other 7-5 teams. Utah has no lifeblood. Neither does Georgia tek playing Utah in El Paso you are so excited about being at for your game tomorrow. That’s right Georgia tek once again is playing your bowl game in December. In El Paso. And, that has your team excited with several more players from Georgia tek SUSPENDED from the game.
2. You come running in here bragging to us, who just BEAT YOU by several touchdowns 31-17, and opine to us : “If Georgia loses to MSU they probably not be top 10 to start the year.” Sure we will. We will be Top 5 to begin the season. We will end up 13-1. When has Georgia tek done that ? Never. When has Georgia tek gone winless in a season, instead ? 7 times Georgia tek has played their entire stinking season, and not won a single game. 5 more Georgia tek seasons, Georgia tek has played the whole entire season and won only 1 game. When did Georgia tek last win a Major Bowl Game ? 1955. It has been 57 years since Georgia tek last won a Major Bowl Game. And, you have LOST 6 bowl games in a row. So, after we beat you 31-17, then you show up on this blog BRAGGING how we aren’t doing well in bowl games and how we aren’t going to be ranked. Pardon me ? Who is not ranked ? We are # 18. You are # NOTHING in either the Coaches’ Poll nor in the AP Poll. Speaking of the AP Poll, Georgia tek has NEVER been ranked # 1 in the AP Poll, ever. Not one time.
If the lifeblood of college football is Trash Talking as you say, you have FAILED miserably. Keep it up. It surely doesn’t bother ANY of us to every once in a while, log in and actually reply to your WEAK posts. Posts about items you want to discuss which under NO CIRCUMSTANCES would any real fan of Georgia tek (either of them) ever want to bring up.

Bacarri Rambo, like I said, is not NFL 1st or 2nd Round. He had 1 interception vs South Carolina and we LOST that game, anyway. The other 6 interceptions were all against the very worst football teams in all of America. He made All-America. They voted that on his 7 interceptions. As a defensive back, he was a liability who was booed many times in his 4 years on our campus. We need him back for next season. He isn’t ready for the NFL. He will likely, in my opinion, drop BEYOND 3rd Round, if he actually does declare January 15, which it appears he wanted to do. I don’t see it. Not sure he will play in the NFL. It’s more likely, he will not play in the NFL. He isn’t an NFL starter.
That’s the only Bulldog to get his NFL Advisory Committee report back. And, he took serious exception to it; which will do nothing but move him DOWN in the Draft.
Alabama offers everyone in the state of Georgia a Scholarship. Clearly Alabama has unsustainable recruits for Nick Saban’s ego in that state; and clearly he has been after the state of Georgia. Florida State, likewise, gives everyone in the state of Georgia a Scholarship. They believe in South Georgia they have a better shot at our in-state recruits than we do. It has been part of their recruiting philosophy forever. Likewise, Auburn’s same strategy on the state line. As for the Georgia tek offer to him, Georgia tek would offer to any in-state football player. They still would have had a sorry defense, with him.
Bacarri Rambo is not NFL starter material and may not play in the NFL.
He is quick at 4.5 speed, but not NFL quick at 4.5. He would not be one of the 32 best at any position in the NFL. He’s small. He’s not that fast. He’s short. He takes plays off. He has been burned his entire career, and then this season only, he makes 6 interceptions against nobodies and 1 in a LOSS, while not covering his man; and frequently making bad reads. Then, as stated, takes plays off. Not NFL. Not. We need him back next season. Not sure he really wanted to stay. 13-1 with or without him.
Not that highly regarded coming out of high school. Played linebacker in high school and rushing quarterback, where I don’t think he breaks the starting line-up for us at linebacker, and he was never given any carries at running back despite all our issues all season long, indeed with all our issues all 4 years Bacarri Rambo has been on our campus.

MISSOURI :
Over the last 3 decades MISSOURI has sucked at football. 8-5 this season, Missouri has a SORRY DEFENSE, SORRY SPECIAL TEAMS, and no passing game with James Franklin.
Missouri sportswriters out there, think Missouri got an EASY SCHEDULE. Uh, you play ALABAMA, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Georgia BEAT Missouri in the Orange Bowl SHUTTING OUT MISSOURI, 14-0.
I think Missouri will find that they will GIVE UP TONS OF POINTS vs SEC teams with their lack of anything but a running offense. I don’t think they have the tools to call their schedule, a punk schedule 2012. A schedule of SEC PUNKS.
Cannot see it.
# 77 in Won/Lost Record over the entire last 3 Decades
MISSOURI
160 Wins
185 LOSSES
7 ties
___________________________________________________
160-185-7 over the last 3 Decades MISSOURI

And, Missouri has an easy schedule of PUNKS ?
The sportswriters in Kansas City Missouri think Missouri has a 2012 schedule of SEC Punks ?
I don’t think so.
The PUNKS on The SEC Schedules 2012 are MISSOURI Tigers.
Missouri has fared better against SEC teams than Texas A&M, that is for sure; but Missouri are the PUNKS 2012, not that some Kansas City sportswriter can write a story that Missouri has a schedule of SEC PUNKS.
# 77 football programs over the last entire 3 Decades
