From Athens-"Things to Ponder"

I just hope Crowell has the jets to go the distance. We need a homerun hitting back.

Yes we do...... he is faster than KM.

Wlayton, I was not baiting you but rather holding the door open.One of the most enjoyable positions for me to watch in football is the RB. All shapes and sizes have played the position no two exactly alike kind of like snowflakes. The good ones all produced results in many different ways.

I was willing to bet the ranch that you would voice this and you did. I respect you knowledge of the game and love for UGA.

Have a great weekend,Sept. 3rd will be here in a blink of the eye. I am ready!
Go Dawgs

I love bait yd1.....just might talk too long though

Can't wait for Sept. 3rd either my friend......very nervous already.

Don’t feel like anyone on this board has issues with the “Dream Team” recruiting year. The entire group of folks out there talking to the athletes, their Moms and Dads, were a huge success.

I have been around SEC football for a few years, one thing that I know for sure, you better have a kicking game. All phases of the kicking game. It appears that has not been lost with the recent recruits signing on with UGA.

Don’t mean this in a negative way. We can have a lot of flash, a lot of “hot talk” in the press about every position on the field. Running backs, quarterbacks, defensive ends, nose tackles and the beat goes on.

Richt did something in the last couple of days that really impresses me. He got a young man, Collin Barber from Cartersville to sign on with our team. I will post the link below, some maybe have not seen the column by Marc Weiszer. Marc is fast becoming one of my favorite media folks. Back to the subject. Earlier this year Richt signed Marshall Morgan, a young man from Coral Gables that is really, really good. Marshall kicks off of the tee and straight legs it also.

Some folks don’t like the idea of having two young men that do the same thing, I don’t have a problem with it. I would compare this to the situation that is facing our offensive line now. Depth. In the SEC you had better have someone that can step up and get the job done, whether kicking or punting. Two young men that don’t mind facing each other and both are aware of the others talents. Good move Richt. Speaks well for two outstanding young athletes.

Kicking game is SEC football. Sometimes that three pointer means a lot. Sometimes that ball being punted inside the ten, twenty yard line with no return wins football games or gives a team a chance to win. Gives the defensive side a chance to make big plays. Usually play calling down deep in one’s own territory changes the play calling substantially.

Congratulations to Richt and the other coaches involved in our recent football signings. Guess I should say verbal commitments.

Checking out a couple of other boards around the internet, question seems to pop up as to how many scholarships remain and who will be chosen with those. I am casting my vote for offensive linemen, especially one in the JAX area. John Theus. Watched some film on John at camp, he is whatever folks want him to be ratings wise. Definitely has that streak.
