There is still a huge amount of frustration among those of us that support the team and are reaching out for options to change what we see as a hindrance to UGA football. For example, the other sports, one being swimming, almost like Alabama in their domination year after year not just in the SEC, but nationally. Don't hear a lot of ruckus going on, just hard work, honor the scholarship and the University that saw fit to award that special chance at a degree.
Many times and we all know this, the larger the sport the "larger" the heads and egos become. Somewhere along the way, the virtues of Tommy Lyons playing football and receiving a Rhodes Scholarship for his efforts and character need to be revisited. While all are not going to get those types of awards, there has to be a genuine acceptance of virtue versus value.
While football brings many dollars into the till, the exposure of the participants and their actions do great harm to the University of Georgia. I have preached this all of my life, team play, whether you are on the football field or work in an office or mow grass (oops).
Saw IC throw both forearms into the rushers shoulder pads, stop them anyway we can. He will be tested against Auburn and Georgia Tech. Maybe he steps up, can't slip any more, too many eyes are on the kid and his chance at celebrity.
Said in another post that I believe what we are seeing from Jarvis Jones and maybe a couple of others is what has been missing in the locker room for far too long. Those that care will step up and slam folks against lockers and get their attention one way or another. I think that Jarvis Jones might be the one person that can get IC's "total" attention. Both come from basically the same backgrounds. Even Jarvis had a bit of a problem with supposedly stepping outside of the NCAA guidelines. Look at the way he has responded to the negative talk . . . . manned up.
Go Dawgs!
