AJC Poll

UgaBulldog14 — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:01:57 -0000

Not sure how long this has been up on AJC, but I just saw it this morning.

They have a poll going of who the best UGA QB is in the last 10 years, between Shockley, Greene, and Stafford. I had to choose Greene myself. Most success = best. But who knows The Shocker could've done in 4 years.

But the percentages got me.

David Greene - 70.14% | 1997 votes

DJ Shockley - 16.93% | 482 votes

Matthew Stafford - 12.93% | 368 votes

Maybe it's just me, but I expected Stafford to be closer to 50% than 10%. I don't know, thought it was interesting.

Recruiting Nugget

UgaBulldog14 — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:30:57 -0000

Story from the AJC of Urban Meyer offering one of UGA's recruits. Kid is a sophomore DE.

http://blogs.ajc.com/georgia-football-recruiting/2009/04/10/floridas-urban-meyer-offers-georgias-no-1-sophomore-prospect/

But I don't really care about that, I was just watching his highlight video, which is also on that page, and wow. This kid looks darn good. It's in 4A football I believe.

I'm not the kind of guy that watches a lot of recruiting videos other than QB/RB, so I'm not sure if a soph is supposed to look this good on tape or not. But after the first minute I was very impressed.

CMR needs to get on it!

Someone shut this guy up

"Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin had some stinging last words for Alshon Jeffrey, one of the nation’s top wide receivers, according to ESPN.com.

Jeffrey of St. Matthews, S.C., signed with South Carolina last month after an intense recruiting battle with Southern Cal and Tennessee.

According to ESPN’s Chris Low, “Kiffin told Jeffrey that if he chose the Gamecocks, he would end up pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other players from that state who had gone to South Carolina.”"

A grown man (well, maybe not) telling a 17/18 year old that. Pitiful.

I was giving Lane the benefit of the doubt. I even started thinking this guy might win some games.

But I'm thinking he's gone after next year.

The U going after Willie Martinez?

UgaBulldog14 — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:28:17 -0000

First, I wanna say I don't feel too strongly either way with Martinez. I do like having a stable coaching staff but I was very disappointed with our D last year.

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/story/861732.html

But there's your link. Defensive coordinator for The U might be on the way out, and they look to go after none other than Willie Martinez if/when he leaves.

From that article :

"If Young leaves, UM is expected to have interest in Georgia defensive coordinator Willie Martinez, who was a defensive back for the Canes from 1981-84 and then served as a graduate assistant at the school. Martinez, a graduate of Hollywood Hills High, has been Georgia's secondary coach since 2001 and its defensive coordinator since 2005."

I don't really think Martinez would leave even if they offered. No offense to The U, but why leave a stable program in what is regularly the toughest conference in the country for the same position in a program that is in a major rebuilding phase in what is a noticably weaker (yet underrated this past year IMO) conference? Just don't see it happening.

Asher Allen leaves for the NFL

Asher Allen leaves for the NFL

This one could be very costly as well. Now who's our #1 CB, Prince Miller? Incoming recruit Branden Smith better get ready to play!

UGA QB recruit Aaron Murray might play on national TV Saturday

UGA QB recruit Aaron Murray might play on national TV Saturday

Future Dawg QB MIGHT be playing this Saturday at 1 PM on NBC at a high-school senior bowl kinda thing.

Even if Murray doesn't play, might be worth a watch. I doubt he's the only Dawg recruit playing.

Wow, just...wow.

UgaBulldog14 — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:49:16 -0000

From the AJC, link :

http://www.ajc.com/uga/content/sports/gatech/stories/2008/12/29/tech_uga_ring.html

Here is the first paragraph :

"Georgia Tech has figured out another way to remember its win over Georgia.

As part of its bowl bounty, Tech is giving each player a ring. Coach Paul Johnson left the design of ring to the team’s seniors. He said the seniors decided to include the score of the Georgia game, 45-42, in the ring’s design. The win snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Bulldogs."

As I've said before, Georgia Tech seems determined to remind everyone that they are, in fact, UGA's little brother.

Pitiful.

A slap in the face to Dawg Nation

A slap in the face to Dawg Nation

Here's a lame GT homer's review of our game this year and he goes as far as saying that they are ready to start a win streak of their own in the series.

Two Thoughts

UgaBulldog14 — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:06:37 -0000

Congratulations to Rodney Garner, he interviewed for the Auburn job. It'd be interesting to see what he could do over there. I really like him as part of our staff, but I can't cheer AGAINST a guy getting that kind of chance. The best of luck to him.

And second, I just saw Reshad Jones was named second team All-SEC. What does that say about the SEC?

I need five more words.

I know yall hate Auburn

UgaBulldog14 — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 14:31:16 -0000

but wanted to point out how much of a class act (in my opinion) Tommy Tubberville is/was.

Dude was a good coach and I really couldn't ever help but like the guy. I'm from the generation of Dawg fans that doesn't absolutely hate Auburn like some here, so I never minded the guy. I have heard he throws his coordinators under the bus, but hell, sometimes I wonder if Mark Richt should do that (like, right now?).

Compared to Phat Phil Phulmer, this guy was a saint. I hate Tennessee. And having hardcore Bama fans in my family, I strongly dislike Phil Phulmer. But TT was a likeable coach.
