From Athens - Still quite-A very good thing

Along with Coach T, CTG, this group of pups is going back to some of the old way of doing things. Hard work . . . .

Buc, since you and I are two, let's just say, with the earliest B-Day's........we know that there is no substitute for "old fashion", "roll up the sleeves", "get after it", hard work."

So right, really glad that the first to protest punishment from Coach T met with a man that does not make deals. Player will be better for it, UGA will be better for it.

For those that don't know and can get ESPN3 on their computers, tomorrow UGA players will be showing their talents to the NFL pool.

Georgia Football Pro Day
A.J. Green and the rest of the Bulldogs look to impress the scouts as the draft approaches. Coverage begins Tuesday at 10am ET.

No Wonderlic Test tomorrow, on field talents . . . .

Buc, where might that spring video with Grantham be? I would like to see it.

born2bAdawg . . . like I said before, really high on Grantham.

Click on Sport then football and you have several choices including Richt.

Football a bit slow, just before the pads and Spring in Athens.

Did some research on Kirk Olivadotti, just snooping and trying to come up with a tid-bit or two. Said earlier that I am pumped with Grantham, same can be said for the inside linebacker coach of the Dawgs.

KO coaches the inside linebackers and special teams, a portion of the special teams. Noticed that KO had studied under Greg Williams while with the Redskins. One of my favorite defensive coaches of all time. A specialist at not only defensive football, Williams is a great believer in getting after the passer (QB). One of the very best at teaching that facet of the game.

Grantham said when he first arrived in Athens that he wanted the players on his defense to have their ears pinned back, and get after the QB. Didn't use those words exactly, but what he said meant the same. So, who ends us replacing Coach Belin in Athens, Kirk Olivadotti, one of GW's understudies. Not much doubt that Grantham played a huge part in KO coming to Athens, appears to me that these coaches on the D side are going to be what the doctor ordered for the Red and Black.

AO playing ILB rather than safety, with KO beside him through the Spring and Fall, what a great break for a young man wanting to make a name for himself at UGA and . . . the NFL. AO stays healthy, come time for Boise State, this could be a huge step forward for this athlete.

Then I read this snooping around the South Carolina site . . . . Lattimore is in the weight room, weight at 230, and the frame is chiseled. No doubt, this young man is all that. Now comes the time when AO and CR introduce themselves to Lattimore in Sanford Stadium. Have this feeling that Grantham and his gang of coaches are going to introduce SS and his troops to a team much different than last years. A team with more athletes, more size, and maybe most of all, a different ATTITUDE. Nasty attitude I hope. This might be the season that we see how a college teams runs a beautiful 3/4. Not lost, not pointing fingers, just laying the wood to the likes of SS and his folks. Don't want SS coming to Athens and leaving with a smile on his face, the same smile that he had when he left the Swamp last season.

Still say that offensive line is the one part of the team that I will watch closer than any other. If Bean and others can and will come to play . . . . should not say this but . . . . we will win the SEC East. Can't speak to the SEC Championship at this point, but beating South Carolina and the schedule that we have . . . . this could be very interesting.

We have Bobo and Richt and Friend and others on the O side. Players are there, make up proud, feel sure the D is going to.

Just rambling folks, some of you that are a part of the board can do the same . . . .
