the O line for 2012 will be laden with talent but untested. No doubt Friend can coach em up. Takes time and real game experience for them to gel and become a unit. Mizzou will be a major test early on.....and they will need a confidence boost early on also......a 4th and 1 or 2 can be a major boost for this unit..and with the talent of our incoming RB's 4th and 1 or 2 should be a no brainer....but CMR/Bobo team will go for the FG and give them no confidence early on

hahaha No Thanks Buc. I don't mean to be so negative but until the coaches show me that they are playing to WIN I will continue to be critical

Maybe I am wrong ogredawg, don't take your posts to be critical. From my point of view, more in the constructive thinking department. Nothing wrong with each of us posting what we as individuals see. Not like we are going to some of the blogs and banging on others, we are putting personal thoughts out for those on this UGA board to agree or disagree with. Gets fiesty sometimes, but that usually takes care of itself in time.

Crossed fingers for Josh . . . . reminds me of Jake Scott from back in the day. He will have the fans in Sanford Stadium roaring when he begins playing on Saturdays. What a great help he could also be with the talent coming from your high school in the future and there is a lot of that residing year after year in Lowndes County. Getting closer Brother . . . .

averagedawg, I really hope that I have gotten the right impression from McGarity. If I have gotten the message that I think he sent, he will tighten the screws another round this coming season. There is not a doubt in my mind that our Athletic Director did not like the outcome of the Outback Bowl. For more than one reason. Any way that I slice the pie, I keep coming back to either mistakes or miscues in the recruiting process. I believe that if Friend has the talented players to coach, he will do his job and do it very well.

At this point in my way of thinking, if the offensive line is only thirty percent or so better than last season, this group of returning backs and receivers will be hard for most teams to stop. Still boils down to the young men that do the dirty work on every play, no time off on the line of scrimmage.



Buc, I really HOPE the OL is 30% better but think with the inexperience we have on the OL, we might actually be worse........at least through the 1st half of the season. The second half of the season and 2013, the OL should be very good.......Friend certainly has his work cut out for himself.

Let's hope we have some great focus and improvement during the spring.

wlayton, guess I am trying to say much the same things you are. These young puppies need a considerable amount of time to get to "know each other". Physically, there is talent ready to play, just that mental part that is so important. Sure hope that Ben's understudy left him in a favorable position at center. Supposedly there is some of that "attitude" that Ben had remaining in Athens.

Said in another thread that I am worried at this point about Avery Young, lots of talk down south about Miami. I was/am hoping that Theus and Young would come in together and go through Spring with Friend. If the running game starts moving forward, this could as you say be a better than average offensive line by the end of the season. Friend has to have a much better feel of the talent he has around him with another year under his belt. Read elsewhere that Theus said he is ready, left or right tackle. For sure Theus is coming to play, that is heartening. This offensive line could be a huge surprise before the year is over.

Edit: Also read somewhere that Theus and Marshall would be rooming together. Like that a lot.

  • NCAA golf and tennis underway at UGA, softball on Friday

    ATHENS — I’m over here in the press box at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex watching the No. 6-seeded Georgia women take on 11th-seeded Texas in the first round of the NCAA Tennis Championships. The Lady Bulldogs won the doubles point, so it’s 1-0 and Georgia is up a set at all six singles positions.

    Georgia Tech’s women’s team played earlier today and lost to No. 9 California 4-0. That ends the Yellow Jackets’ season at 16-12. The men get underway tomorrow.

    Meanwhile, I’ll take this opportunity to catch you up on some other news happening in and around Athens and UGA...

  • UGA golfers hopes to ride wave of good karma through NCAA regionals

    ATHENS — The NCAA Men’s Golf Regional at the UGA Golf Course is underway today and the Bulldogs are feeling good about advancing to the NCAA Championships.

    And why shouldn’t they? There has been a lot of good karma oozing out of the Bulldogs’ clubhouse  at the Boyd Golf Center here lately.

    University of Georgia golfers or alums have been winning tournaments all over the place for the past year or so, including those played right there off their back porch. Two weeks ago Hudson Swafford holed a bunker shot on the 72nd hole and shot a final-round 62 to...

  • Florida influence apparent in managment style of UGA’s Greg McGarity

    ATHENS – There are some nervous coaches around Georgia’s athletic department these days. That tends to happen when the coach of perennial top 10 program abruptly resigns the week after finishing 11th.

    Georgia gymnastics coach Jay Clark offered his resignation shortly after meeting with UGA athletic director Greg McGarity on May 4 and it served as an overture to his staff. Clark had two years remaining on a five-year contract he signed when he succeeded ultra-successful head coach Suzanne Yoculan in 2009.

    The Gym Dogs weren’t awful under Clark, not by a long stretch. But they fell well short of the standards...

  • No. 2 seed Georgia ready again to rock NCAA tennis championships

    ATHENS — For a little while there, the horrifying thought of not being able to play in the NCAA Championships while hosting them entered the minds of the Georgia Bulldogs on Sunday. But just as quickly, the No. 3-ranked and No. 2-seeded Bulldogs put that notion to rest and steamrolled Florida State in singles to advance to this week’s Round of 16.

    Georgia (25-2) lost the doubles point in its second-round match against Florida State on Sunday afternoon. But in the matter of an hour it was clear the Bulldogs weren’t in mid-stumble toward a face plant. The Bulldogs quickly regained...
