So those of you who are pretty wired in via Twitter and Facebook have probably already seen the video of new Georgia tailback Keith Marshall racing rising sophomore wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell on Woodruff Practice Fields recently. If you missed it, I’m happy to provide it HERE.

Marshall
First, a little background. Apparently this was the third time these two young football stars raced in a 40-yard dash. The first time, Mitchell reportedly won and quarterback Aaron Murray didn’t get to see it and he complained about it. So they did it again the other day, with Murray shooting video and wide receiver Chris Conley providing color commentary.
Spoiler alert: Marshall, who supposedly came to Georgia with a 4.3-second 40-yard time (and similar GPA), wins the last two races by an eyelash. But I would suspect Bulldogs’ fans are more intrigued just by the fact Marshall was willing to compete against one of the teams’ established stars. Says a little something about his competitive nature, I’d say.
Mitchell, of course, emerged as one of the Bulldogs’ most explosive offensive threats as a true freshman this past season and finished as the Bulldogs’ second-leading receiver with 45 catches for 665 yards despite missing three games due to injury. Marshall is a 5-star prospect and the No. 1-rated running back in America, according to Scout.com. He enrolled early at UGA.
Anyway, just wanted to throw it out there for any of you folks who might have missed it. Besides, considering Mitchell’s problems with a hamstring injury last season, I suspect the coaches have seen this and already shut down the race track. I’m just guessing but, as Apollo Creed said in the first Rocky, “ain’t gonna be no rematch.”

Sadly, I think you’re right MobileDawg. But it is quite frustrating when you consider the following facts:
perennially top 3 in most profitable college football program
perennially top 3-4 in most number of D1 football scholarship athletes in their state
state of the art facilities
awesome school and campus
active alumni and support
all this and we’re always on the outside looking in while our rivals like LSU, Bama, Florida, and even Auburn have Crystal Footballs in their respective trophy cases……sigh!!!

The way I see this is that Keith Marshall enrolled in classes. Instantly, off the field for running backs, what we have is that instead of a dope ring of running backs, we have a guy who thinks fun is Football with our Very Best Football Players. He gets them all out and he lines up and in fact Takes our Best. Then, our best does what he does, which is to turn on his after-burners and beats him the next 2 times. I am sorry but this just isn’t what has happened here for the last 12 years now. Year 12, one guy shows up, and no loading everyone in a truck to drive around Athens for the sole purpose of getting drunk. No tweeting our opponents pre-game how our Starting QB is heading to the Dome to kick him some backside of Boise State. No beer keg photos in the infield at Talladega. No beating up of cars in parking lots. No borrowing someone else’s car, hitting cars in a parking lot and running from the scene with multiple UGA employees telling our Football Player to stay that he hit parked cars. No beating up of young lady students in good standing by picking her up and slamming her to the floor repeatedly to the McWhorter Hall floor. No more bragging in the off-season of how being named Freshman of the Year isn’t what he cares about at all, but yeah, it is a nice Award for Me. No more hey I want # 1; and don’t care if a guy who is a Senior now next season who does everything for the team on Defense, Special Teams and Offense already has # 1 and has long-since Earned The Right to Keep # 1 without having to saddle the already taxed and burdened coaching staff with figuring out what plays and players they want to run, but also figuring out well let’s see is some PrimaDonna demanding that he had to be the same number one of our Very Best Players if not the Very Best Player for 2012 season already has. No driving to Valdosta on the first opportunity when there is no Spring Practice that day to get drunk and the total inability to come clean what he did like the sorority gal isn’t going to have all her friends say this masher did what ? No wasting time outside of practice, when not studying, trying to figure out just what the players can do to embarrass the entire program, school, and everyone huge fans of this team.
Leader.
Team Captain.
Leader off-the-field before he steps into his role the next 3 years of 4,000 yards on-the-field, having good clean fun all the others and all of us can really take great joy from their sharing their activities today.
I’m telling you.

FLAT TIRE ON I-95, sir.
Keith Marshall is Our Team Captain Off-The-Field, just the New York Nanosecond he shows up on our Campus.
I have no questions about this man.
None.
I am not biased. I am not hoping for some pipe-dream. I am telling you straight up what we got when Bryan McClendon and Mark Richt brought this man to us all to enjoy the next 3 years. All I can say to them, is thank you. We have many other great guys in this football program, but they have been over-shadowed by those who want the spotlight on them for all the wrong concepts of what is fun at UGA when not in class and not practicing. He is a 1st Round NFL prospect. Whomever gets Keith Marshall, will be as Fortunate as we all are today. No I want to transfer to get attention, or I want to put my name into the NFL Advisory Committee to see what they have to say when they all everyone have long-since made the statement that if the game is on the line and you need a drive to win, no one has ever said he is the guy you want leading your offense down the field. I know absolutely that Keith Marshall will take charge in the huddle and direct the team, something we haven’t had here the last 2 years of 0-9 vs the 9 teams who ended up in the top 25, and I will add as well something that we haven’t had around here over the last 7 years of 0-7 vs the 7 teams who ended up in the AP Poll Top 10 with our last win over such a team 7 seasons ago when we last beat a team finishing in the Top 10 # 9 Auburn 2006. Someone want to explain to me how 4 Seniors now leaving all starters on the OL, 3 of whom go on to the NFL now, are somehow responsible for Aaron Murray’s 56 sacks, 21 fumbles, 22 interceptions in 27 games, losing 11 for 41 percent of his games started, lost ?
Thank you Keith Marshall, sir.

11:17 am “but would you let another guy take your girl on a date?”
_____________________________________________________
“Your” gal ? You don’t own the gal. If you wanted the job, you should have taken the job. It was and is there for the taking. You have to give her space for her to decide. It is her choice, no matter what you think that you should have the job. When given the opportunity, you have to step up to the plate and present yourself in such a fashion that “your” gal wants you. Being hurt about AM starting (and playing every second of every game every snap and losing all these big games by HIMSELF) is not the way to ever be in a position to be perceived as the guy she wants. Take the job. Take the job now, today. Put in the extra effort. Maybe what the issue is, is that the job really belongs to Christian LeMay anyway. Our gal. Who wants the job ? Find out what is needed, instead of sitting there whining about what you think you know is what is needed. Doesn’t matter what is what you think. What matters is what Mark Richt says. You’ve got to break him down. If it is experience, then you have to do what Coach Donald Shockley did to Mark Richt in April 2001. When Mark Richt told DJ Shockley that he would be Redshirted, and he told his Dad; his Dad took up for the kid. His Dad came to campus face-to-face. His Dad extracted the promise. It was that, or his Dad was never going to shut-up to his Son, never in life, that he had to transfer. There are those who feel that DJ Shockley was the better QB than David Greene, with the better arm, equal accuracy, equal leadership, and would have won some of the games David Greene lost. And, DJ Shockley did all he could do in 1 year equaling what David Greene did 1 year out of 4 years with David Greene’s SEC Championship in 2002 when The SEC was Way Down with but 1 other SEC team finishing in the Coaches’ Poll Top 25, a 4-loss Auburn. The SEC was certainly not done in 2005 – indeed, The SEC has not been Down after the 2002 season, which is why we are in fact about the # 5 team in The SEC. There is no question that Auburn has done more in the Mark Richt era. Nor any questions that Alabama, and LSU have too. And, you can’t say we’ve done more than Florida. South Carolina doesn’t measure up, although they played a tougher schedule than we did and ended up far better than we 2011, and go for their 3rd consecutive win over us in this FUNK we’ve been in since DJ Shockley graduated with honors after the 2005 season. And, Arkansas all you HATERS can jump on here and say how we would’ve beat Arkansas but they ended up top 5 in the nation and have it going on, in case you haven’t noticed. We either step up and stop this with Keith Marshall, or about # 5 is going to see us slip 2 more places, too.
This for the # 11 all-time college football 1-A FBS football program.
How I read Hutson Mason is that all he wants is the opportunity to play some. He is not asking to be the Starter. Just get out there with our ballhog QB a little. There is no question that Hutson Mason could not do WORSE than 0-9 vs the 9 teams finishing in the top 25.
I can't believe Aaron Murray BLEW THAT GAME to go to 0-9 vs teams ending top 25. 4 sacks, fumble, 2 interceptions, 9 rushes minus 14 yards, 1 reception blocked pass minus 3 yards - all with 16 point lead.

“@a person smart enough, to put it in your words, looks like Murray already has the girl.”
______________________________________________________
No, Mark Richt already has His Girl. And, Mike Bobo has no say in it. Never has. Never will. Mark Richt has been quite clear that he has His Gal. As for none of us can predict the future. Well, some of us have done a far better job of it, haven’t we, gentlemen ? Mark Richt, post-Spring Practice will choose Aaron Murray and no one else. He hasn’t even said that it is open for discussion. His 1st comments after the minus 3 yard catch of his own pass batted down at the line (again), the 4 sacks to give him now 56, the fumble ahead 16-0 that Chip Towers, Jeff Schultz and Mark Bradley all 3 correctly identified as the Turning Point that clearly right then right there changed the game, as even the TV announcers stated at the very moment that was exactly what Michigan State needed to get a chink in our armor as a glimmer of hope to give him now 21 Fumbles, the two (2) interceptions to give him now 22, the 9 rushes for minus 14 yards to give him now an average of 7 rushes for an average of 1 yard per rush every single 1 of his 27 games – All Led to Him Losing His Ninth (9th) game in as many tries to the same number of 9 teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 25 his entire lousy stinking career (not counting his 2 losses to teams who did not end up top 25) :
Mark Richt has said all of 2012 after the latest poor performance by Aaron Murray, that Aaron Murray is doing fine. Mark Richt has had Aaron Murray as his Favorite, and as Mark Richt demonstrated with Caleb King and Isaiah Crowell, he has these players’ backs. He always has had. He always will. We have 2 more years of Aaron Murray, and then Mark Richt can decide who is next in line. Right now, he isn’t open to any second-guessing on Aaron Murray, at all, whatsoever, in no way, shape or fashion. If you don’t know Mark Richt by now, it is not our fault that you cannot read people. I read Mark Richt like a book. If anyone gets any snaps 2012 other than AM, it will be late, real late with a 4-touchdown lead; or not at all. If it had been up to Mark Richt, DJ Shockley would never have been platooned with David Greene. Never. This wasn’t his decision. Mark Richt has maintained his triteness about platooning the Winingest QB in NCAA history at that point, now owned by Kellen Moore, who will never take a snap in the NFL either – like Aaron Murray won’t ever.

“Crowell has all of the skills you could want and with three running backs like we have, he can share”
__________________________________________________________
Correct. 3 Tailbacks. 100 percent accurate. If Isaiah Crowell doesn’t know we have three go-to guys, that’s his problem. We’re passed it. And, IC has never been there for us, yet. In the 4 losses, what did he do ? Nada.

Which Running Backs have Mark Richt and Mike Bobo NOT messed up KB, sir ?
____________________________________________________________
“The only way Aaron Murray gets rid of this label is to beat a really good team. But if he is not capable of doing so, do you play Lemay just because you think Murray will lose it again?”
____________________________________________________________
Well, at 0-9 vs teams finishing in the top 25 and 2 more losses to teams who did not finish in the top 25, we could not possibly do any worse putting ANYONE else in. It has to start in the 1st of 7 home “games” against the Buffalo Bills (good heavens.) Start Aaron Murray. Play him 1 series. Yank him. Put Christian LeMay in for series 2. Put Aaron Murray in for series 3, and go from there. So, yes, I agree with you 100 percent right down the line platoon them from the get-go, sir, DawginLex.

13-1,
Do you honestly think that anybody values your opinion but yourself. You write this long wasted blog and all you do is refute every bodies statement on here and think that for some reason somebody want to read them. Give it a break man.
Everybody has an opinion, and it most cases they express them a lot more intelligently than you, since you feed off of refuting every statement made by another fan of UGA. Your opinion doesn’t change anybodies mind, in case you have not figured it out. Everybody on these blogs is entitled to their opinion and does not need your rebuttal or negative opinion to supposedly rebut what they say. They don’t want it. The only ones that want it are this publication called the AJC, because they can then show readership, in some way or another.
I could care less what you think about the DAWGS because I don’t know you and don’t wish to know you, much less read your rebuttal of anything I or other DAWG fans post on here. I am a true fan that thinks the DAWGS will take the next step this year, and I don’t want to read your statements regarding what I post, because your opinion holds no meaning to me. Why don’t you take a survey and see how many people really read your nonsense. Personally, I express my opinion and could care less whether anybody agrees with me or not. You though, seem to think your statements, refuting everything anybody says, actually means something. You are in a very small minority of one, in that case.

Slow news day, what do you expect. This paper is published in Atlanta, I.E. Georgia tech, falcons Hawks, and Braves. UGA is just a side note really. UGA gets more press, because it is practically the only team in the state to get excited about besides Georgia Southern.
We UGA fans are interested in anything concerning our DAWGS. As you can see by the nine pages of blogs, mostly negative ones, a lot of people are interested and concerned about UGA being in the news. UGA negative commentators far exceed positive ones. Gives some of them, something to do while eating their coco puffs before taking their flintstone vitamins.

Even worse, they true freshman tailback is already making headway into the click. Next is making headway into playing time.

Nobody can be referred to as a “non-fan” or whatever because they are sick of I.C.’s crap. Maybe he will redeem himself. If he did not have such a crappy attitude, folks would be more sympathetic. However, when he continuously shows ALL the elements of bad character, then yeah, folks will pile on. When he jumps up after a gain on a little practice team and acts like he won the super-bowl, then folks will pile on. When he pats his head like Ringo on a drum set after a little hit, then folks will pile on. When he gets suspended so often one loses count, then folks will pile on. The folks who say that those who question I.C.’s modus-operendi are not Dog fans can get a life. Some TRUE fans know that some of this behavior is unacceptable. Not the mistakes all kids make, but the continuation of all the bad traits! Maybe if ALL the bad traits had not showed themselves, there would be more patience.

Flat Tire: No, I deleted your post because it was untrue, just like this last one is untrue. Auburn and Florida were ranked when Georgia beat them this year and the Bulldogs beat No. 7 Georgia Tech and No. 18 Michigan State in 2009. That’s how the official records are kept, not what a team was ranked at the end of the year but what their ranking was at the time of the contest. Granted, Georgia’s record against ranked teams the last three years is poor (3-10), but that’s different than being winless. And I don’t know with what team your allegiance lies but you come in here every day with an agenda to insult and agitate Georgia fans and I get constant complaints about it. If you just want to yell “Georgia stinks” every day, then go to the vent and shout it to the heavens. In the meantime, I’ll reserve the right to delete your posts when they’re inaccurate or just plain mean and spiteful.
