Have a great weekend yd1......great post as always, look forward to it every Friday.

Buc, hope everything is ok with you. If the VA is going to whip you back into shape with exercise/therapy, tell them to use JT's training methods........may fire you up a little more!! All the best my friend.

Maybe Coach Richt has got the fire back in his gut.

Thanks wlayton. I am fine, just happen to have a mouth full of stitches to be taken out today.

If the VA used the CJT method on me . . . . guess I would be running laps, with two total hip replacements. Tereshinski will have the players that want to play on Saturdays close to his facilities through the summer months.

Have to say this. These young men playing football need to understand that this will probably be their "last chance" to improve their standing in todays society. All of a sudden we wake up and we are not 18-25 years old any more. Clock does not stop for anyone, and we have to take advantage of what the good Lord has given us.

I admire those that walk on, carry the case load and "earn" their UGA letters. While these guys may not win us a SEC or MNC, they are leaders in my book.

averagedawg, Richt has used two off color remarks this year. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

I really enjoy posting with you folks . . . . . you never would have known that as little as I have to say. Great weekend wished for all, and the Lord's blessings on those that need us now.

My wife is a RN who works at the VA hospital here in Nashville.
If you think you have problems, go to a Va hospital and put it in perspective.

Small world we live in.....worked there from 2003-2007 before I moved to the Ms. Gulf Coast to work for the DOD.....

I'm not sure about what to think about what Coach Richt was saying. On the one hand, seeing a bit of fire was good. On the other, however, his snide comments about the fan being an expert and that he (Richt) knows what the hell he's doing take me back to the days of the "in the arena" comments and his other moronic statements any time any one dares to question his coaching expertise. Let's do this, Coach, instead of berating and insulting UGA fans all over again, just show us this fall that you know what you're doing, ok?

Read the article Buc. Doesn't really do anything reading where he got fired up. I do think it probably goes to show that he has a side we don't see often. Keyword being we. I am sure the players have felt his wrath quite a bit. Some kids and teams respond, some don't. When I played and coached, I never showed emotion on the field. I always tried to keep my cool until I got away from the public eye. Once behind closed doors, it was a different story. My pops always used to tell me and my brother that "emotion was for people that wear make-up and attend drama classes"

The comment about being an expert, and the in the arena comment. To me, all coaches have an ego, or a feeling that if people aren't with them 24/7, then they really do not understand. That is a wrong way of thinking, but it is everywhere. I don't get too caught up in those comments. You have to think about the thousands of opinions that fans probably make to him. Just being to games, unfortunately, I would say that more than half of them are probably not very educated in football. Again, the comments don't really bother me cause I know there are some fans out there that give us a bad rep. Still, since he has been in the arena, he should know that this is just part of being a coach at a big time program.

To Richt, it doesn't take Madden to realize what we have been watching was pretty pathetic football at times.
