Every year some dumb ass gets arrested. Every year some dumb ass gets in a fight. Every year some dumb ass gets in some sort of trouble that gets him kicked off the team...and if it isn't that...it's a good player through no fault of his own getting hurt.
This has become the way of the Georgia Bulldogs football offseason.
My interest in the Bulldogs is selfish. It is limited to performance on the field. While I hope that these kids learn from their mistakes and become better young men and all that nice stuff..that is the job of the parents, coaches, and mostly...the player.
I agree with Mark Richt for booting the kid. I can't imagine the head scratching going on among the coaching staff in general. It ain't like they haven't talked about it.
In the meantime, I look forward to watching the progress of Murray. I'm pulling for him. Until then, I'm hoping that nobody gets hurt. Ugh.
Go Dogs.

G-Day 2010
I don't really know what to take away from a spring game. I'm not really there to break down the x's and o's. This isn't really that type of blog. I'm not that type of fan. I go by gut, by instinct, by the irrational, emotional response to what I witness when my favorite team on the planet is on the field.
Here are a few thoughts:
-our stadium is better than your stadium. ONE - it's on campus. That matters. TWO- it has a dramatic approach. It's an impressive structure...especially the first time you see it from the bridge. THREE - it makes sense to get in and out. FOUR - we have hedges.
-a perfect spring day in Athens is the right time to get your football fix when the season is 5 freakin months away.
-I'm constantly grateful that I attended and graduated from the University of Georgia. Great campus. Great town. Always will be.
-We have loyal fans that know football and are honest about our team and our state of affairs. We aren't the jackass fans that think we're going to win a National Title every year and if we don't we should fire everybody.
-Our second team, the BLACK squad, squarely beat the first team, RED.
-Logan Gray is probably a nice young man and a tough customer. He should not be our starting Quarterback. Should not. No, thank you.
-Aaron Murray looked...O.K.
-Zach Mettenberger was by far the most outstanding player yesterday. He stood tall in the pocket, made good decisions and had great stats. He looked way more comfortable than the other two QBs. A really nice surprise.
-We didn't really see the defense that we'll see in September. The coaches have hinted that we saw a skeleton version.
Other than that, nothing really stood out in my mind. I'm just glad the secondary didn't get burned.
Go Dogs...Start Zach. The campaign begins today.
