I hope

I hope I'm right and I hope I'm wrong.

RIGHT- I hope IC has turned it around and not just IC I did hear there was 2 players that had to pass every final to be academically qualified to play in the bowl game. And they did. I hope IC has learned from all this and makes something of it. With KM coming in early the RB position will be at a all time high when it comes for battling for playing time. There's a LOAD of talent on this team and with the schedule next year my hopes are through the roof. Caugh caugh National championship cough cough that's how high.

WRONG- Orson did take all of his stuff to tampa or atleast looked liked lol that guy must of have 30 pairs of shoes lol. There was an article that leaked out saying he was going pro but when I seen him 2 weeks ago he assured me he had not made his mind up. And AM IS WORKING HIM HARD to come back for one more year. Now for Rambo idk what he's going to do. I really feel like he's gone. He told me last year in Memphis he would be gone this year and I joked with him he got a lot of work to do if he thinks he's going to make it. I told him getting there is one thing but making it a career is another. But sometimes the $ signs just steer them away.

Also on a side note I'm proud of Caleb King he finally made the NFL. Yes he got in trouble but the kid made it and I talked with back at the home coming game and I do believe being around some older pro's has really changed him. And looks at the game differently now.

stanger have strong feelings that Todd Gurley is going to come to Athens.

Have heard it said many times by some of the posters that they are looking for that number one. Old as I am, I know that times change and the game for sure has changed a lot. You mentioned the Vikings, big man goes down and someone has to step up. Guess I am saying that I really like depth, not often does one guy at one position have it over the next one or two players by that much of a margin. Good luck to Caleb . . . . what could have been.

Really good offensive line can make many good backs look and "play" great.

Example, if we have IC, Keith Marshall, Todd Gurley. That is a lot of young talent to be sitting on the bench. Played quarterback in high school and we played with a full backfield. Quarterback through repitition learns the different tendencies of the entire backfield.

Pretty much the days of the Herschel Walkers are gone, game changed too much. Bigger, faster, stronger, and yes, smarter in (some) cases. Football is all some of these young men come to college for. Appears this recruiting class has some serious "book worms". I applaud that.

Going to be a stretch for Orson to return to Athens. With tight ends being such a huge part of pro football these days, there is without a doubt playing time real soon. In my mind I can see several pro teams that would love to have Orson. Might fool some of the experts as to when he would go in the draft. AM has his work cut out for him trying to keep his high school buddy around for another year. I would classify Charles as a "hybrid". Makes his stock rise even higher.

Don't know how many watched Missouri and North Carolina in the bowl game. Had mentioned on this board earlier that Missouri's quarterback is really good. Missouri is coming to the SEC with a chip on their shoulders, wounded animal type of thing. Beware, they are a really good football team. Liked the way they were coached for the most part. Got on top of North Carolina and did not let up, could be a lesson learned by our coaching staff. You think . . . .

Hoping all have a great and prosperous New Year, and Avery Young casts his lot with UGA. I did ask Santa for this great offensive tackle. Hoping that Blue is working on his cousin big time.

Go Dawgs . . . coach'em up

On the subject of Orson and AM, thought some of you might like to read the material that I keep an eye on. Lots of talent and good folks all across Central Florida. . . .

Interesting read . . . .

"Tailback Isaiah Crowell is “feeling under the weather,” according to coach Mark Richt, and was standing on the sidelines and not participating"

There's a surprise.

Played with and against a couple of folks like this sadlerdawg. They do not like contact.

Did notice that he is not listed as the starting running back. These big old corn fed boys from Michigan will look forward to "shaking hands" with IC.

Keep hearing how "too much is expected" from IC. Next season, "too much will not be expected" from IC. Hoping that the coaching staff realize what they have and are faced with. One more back that either comes from Georgia or North Carolina and this offense can forget about "tummy aches".

Been around the University of Georgia for a lot of years, sorry folks, this dude does not like contact.

Hoping that Hicks finds his way into the backfield next season. He is not needed at DE, need to get some serious muscle in our backfield. Coach JTII will take care of the latter.

Not a serious fan of Rambo or IC. Lots of awards, just somehow cannot figure out why.
