Insert picture of cows jumping into Sanford now. We got a million "play makers". I am tired of not having enough guards. Now, I get it. I liked to run and catch the ball. When I was 15. But at 40, I really wouldn't mind lining up and hitting that SOB in front of me. Think, Rocky XXXXXXXXIV. I think I screwed up my Roman. I listened to the podcast, checked myself, looked at the issues, and BOOM, we have needed, always needed, still need more, linemen. You think the post TD was sweet? I feel ya. When you see a pulling guard destroy a DB, then I'm listening.
Tell me how ya feel DawgNation! We need some Guards and Tackles!
Non paid disclaimer 1 (although, hell yea, send us the check): Chick Fil A opens here in a month. I can't wait for a wheat milkshake.
Disclaimer 2: If you are a UGA Alum, Admin, Prof, lover, hater, fan, you should be ashamed WSU is a better basketball school than us. I live here. It's embarrassing the Shockers could floor UGA. You wouldnt even know there was a college here. I aint joshing. For real.

Losing Chester Brown will be a bigger deal then we ever thought. UGA’s class looks a little light on your beloved OG spot. That said, OT looks like it could shine! Lets hope for one that the Brown issue can be resolved in his favor.

I hate to use this analogy but
UGA basketball is like Florida football before Spurrier arrived…….TONS of talent in the state but someone has to bring it all together (although Stegman isn’t the most dynamic place to want to play or see a basketball game).
There is no question Fox can coach and he is a likable enough guy…..the unanswered question in his case is whether he can recruit enough top talent.
Ozam - January 27, 2012
That's exactly the right analogy, Ozam.
I’m not sold on the Stegeman excuse, though. The renovations have really helped, you can get good seats for a reasonable price, my two trips there last year and this year never left me feeling anything about the building was lacking, and the Coliseum can be a rocking place when folks show up and get into the action on the court.
I’ve always thought blaming the deficiencies of the men’s basketball team on the Stegosaurus was like blaming the deficiencies of the football team on Jacksonville. Historically, the women’s basketball and women’s gymnastics teams have had no trouble winning or drawing enthusiastic crowds to the Coliseum.
T Kyle King - January 27, 2012
women’s basketball and gymnastics
are two things you will never see me watch or talk about! :0)
Ozam - January 27, 2012
Never say never!
We have a long, established, and glorious women’s gymnastics tradition, and the meets are fun. I would respectfully recommend taking in a meet when you get the chance, with the George Bernard Shaw quotation from your signature line borne in mind. :)
T Kyle King - January 27, 2012
Rec'd for truth.
Gymnastics meets are a blast. Do they still put the couches on the floor?
Spears - January 27, 2012
Absolutely.
Then they vault into them.
vineyarddawg - January 27, 2012
A gymnastics meet makes a great date event, as well.
(Interesting that subject should come up, incidentally; in addition to being the 227th anniversary of the chartering of the University of Georgia, today is the 17th anniversary of my wife’s and my first date!)
T Kyle King - January 27, 2012
touche!
Point well taken. But you know…..sometimes you just have to draw a line in the sand and intercollegiate women sports just does not do it for me!
Ozam - January 27, 2012
Understood.
In defense of intercollegiate women’s sports, I would point to the three virtues of intercollegiate women’s sports:
1. Sports.
2. Intercollegiate.
3. Women.

So wait, if we're pre-Spurrier...
does that make Fox our Galen Hall or Charley Pell?

Mr. Sanchez - January 27, 2012
although Stegman isn’t the most dynamic place to want to play or see a basketball game
See an empty Cameron Indoor for Duke. The fans are what make an arena “dynamic” or a great environment. And as toad loves to say, and so many of us loyal hoop followers have said for years, too many fans show up dressed as empty seats. Sell out Steg on a regular basis, get students involved and energized behind a consistently strong team, as we’ve seen multiple times for short intervals in the past, and that place can really rock. The concrete roof traps sound in a big way, but there has to be the sound, and fans, for it to trap.
Mr. Sanchez - January 27, 2012
100% agree that fans make the venue.
For all its storied tradition and reputation, Cameron Indoor Stadium is a glorified high school gymnasium. It’s tiny, cramped, and looks like it should be the basketball venue for Emory, not Duke.
But it has a tradition, a storied history, and fans who love it in spite of itself, so it’ll be around for long time to come, undoubtedly.

Is Houston gonna be around next year?
add Avery Young, and perhaps one more, and our OL situation is fine imo. We’re young right now, and have a few bodies (although 1-2 more before next Wednesday would be preferred). But load up with Kublanow, the kid from Lake City, FL (mama’s home town!) and 2-4 others next year, and we’re rolling along nicely.
Mr. Sanchez - January 27, 2012
Thing is, I don't doubt you. I just doubt the mojo. I don't want to roll nicely. I want to roll big, every year. Tired of it.
It looks good on paper. Then someone gets hurt. Someone doesnt make expectations, someone leaves. Every year it seems we are one guy short of a nightmare on the line. I dont want that fear anymore.

And the soccerification of Kyle
has begun.
Mr. Sanchez - January 28, 2012
If by "soccerification," . . .
. . . you mean I am more capable of using soccer terms in an ill-informed manner to mock soccer, then, yes, you are correct.
If, however, you mean to suggest that I am within a thousand miles of considering becoming a fan of the sport, I have only to say that I am not now, have never been, and will never be a member of the American communist party.
T Kyle King - January 28, 2012
As Dr. Leo Marvin said...
“Baby steps”. That’s how it starts my friend.
Mr. Sanchez - January 28, 2012
Trust me.
There is no chance of me becoming a soccer fan. None whatsoever. You can try, but you will not be successful. You can hope, but you will be disappointed.
T Kyle King - January 28, 2012
I can vouch for this.
“Toleration” is the level I hope one day to see Kyle attain. At least he tolerates it simply being on the blog. That’s something in and of itself. :-)
vineyarddawg - January 28, 2012
Precisely.
I practice that particularly Southern brand of tolerance known as “indifference.” I’m fine with the fact that other folks in other places like it, just as I’m fine with the fact that other folks in other places adopt public policies for their states that I would oppose the enactment of in mine. If Europeans like soccer and Utahans like polygamy, well, heck, I figure that’s their business, even though I wouldn’t want either of those things to be legalized in Georgia.
I believe it was Mr. Garrison of “South Park” who said, “Look, just because you have to tolerate something doesn’t mean you have to approve of it! . . . ‘Tolerate’ means you’re just putting up with it! You tolerate a crying child sitting next to you on the airplane or you tolerate a bad cold. It can still piss you off!”
T Kyle King - January 28, 2012

Could be a gal-darned Borg Cube, or Rubik’s Cube or something.
DavetheDawg - January 28, 2012
They are just jealous
because we play REAL FOOTBALL (yeah I know the foot only touches the ball less than 20% of the time), but dammit we beat the Brits, saved the French and destroyed the Nazis…we get to claim football)
