TOPIC: Saturday in Athens

Saturday in Athens

#1 2 years, 2 months ago
Good Morning All, Have been chatting with some of the locals and the feeling is what CMR spoke of being a news buzz. Not related to the 10th street nerds. While CTG gave a position chart to start spring practice with it is written in pencil. He will have the 11 best on the field for what ever down and distance calls for. Ain't no cooike cutter \"D\".. when the ball is snapped you will see 11 players trying to meet and greet whoever is in the unlucky position of having the ball at that time.

To me that is the beauty, players learning and playing several positions. Think what pressure that will put on the \"O\" of a opposing team. It is going to be fun watch us learn and grow. Go Dawgs

Also I am pretty sure its Junior day this weekend. Maybe we get a few more commits. Not that they mean anything this early but its nice to at least have them on paper so other kids know top prospects are looking to go to UGA.

Good post UGAFanDavid. . . . I certainly think along the same lines. Really like your reasoning.

yd1, I knew that what I posted was carried by the AJC. Really like getting David Hale's comments on the happenings at UGA. His blog in my opinon beats all of the material that the \"professionals\" at the paper submit for print. He also writes for the Macon Telegraph, which I am sure you are aware of. . . .

Any under the radar info coming in from Junior day? Was kinda hoping to hear some kids commit. I wasn't expecting to be like Texas and have 10+ commit after but it would have been nice to get 1 or 2 to have on paper.

My source said there were no commits from Jr. Day. Very quiet up there and believe spring practice starts Wed. then they are off all next week for spring break before getting back at it again.

wLayton, yes Jr Day was quite many said they are waiting to make other school visits. I think we will have more traction once we get our product on the field. They good thing is now they have a taste of our program and sense of where we are heading. This will bode well as they see what the others have to offer. To a player they all said they would be back in the fall for a Taste of Athens on a Saturday. Go Dawgs

If being in Sanford stadium on a fall Saturday afternoon doesn't convince them......NOTHING will.

  • 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...
