Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

    I’m hanging in there.  My upper lip looks like a Botox Treatment gone terribly wrong.  The interesting thing that’s the only sting that actually doesn’t hurt.

    Same thing happened to me last year… Didn’t realize I could move that fast….haha

    Score Check well this is essentially the new dawg night so i (no inside info) would think the chances are pretty high that someone pulls the trigger

  7. Score Check

    Got waylaid by a swam of yellow jackets while cutting my grass yesterday.  About 15 stings from top to bottom.
    I need some good news  .. What are the chances we get a commit or two this weekend?

    Two session of camp today – 9AM and 3PM. Hydration will be the key to remaining upright.

    DawgDaddy Agree. However, when it happens to an opponent it is worth mentioning. 
    I found it interesting that he had been moved from left tackle to guard.

    Greg Poole I hate to see any kid hurt, especially a season ending injury.  They work hard for the honor of playing for their school so you know it hurts more than just physically.

    CKS on Brian Herrien:
    “It was an insurance policy and we thought he was a talented player,” Smart said. “Right now, he looks good. He has to go out and perform. He has to do things on and off the field, and get ready to play.”
    Herrien was unable to sign with any program until meeting the NCAA requirements for admission. At the last moment in his final semester of high school at New Manchester he did so, with the Bulldogs sticking by his side throughout the recruiting process.
    Behind Chubb and Michel at the position are Brendan Douglas, Elijah Holyfield, Tae Crowder, Shaquery Wilson and Herrien. Having five scholarship running backs instead of four should make preseason practice smoother for the Bulldogs.
    Smart did say that Herrien has had to play catch-up physically since he could only focus on academics during the spring semester. This preseason, he’s listed at 6-foot and 205 pounds on Georgia’s roster.
    “He didn’t come in conditioned like the other guys because he was focused on his academics and get qualified,” Smart said. “A lot of guys were qualified and worried about getting in shape. It’s really important he puts in the work in the weight room.”

    ICYMI:
    Versatile North Carolina offensive lineman John Ferranto will miss the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn left pectoral muscle, the school announced on Friday.
    Ferranto, a 6-foot-5, 300-pound senior, had been listed atop the Tar Heels’ preseason depth chart at right guard, which is a new position for him. He started four games last season at left tackle, and also started all 13 games during the 2014 season at left tackle.
    Ferranto suffered his injury during a workout on Monday. He underwent surgery on Wednesday. There had been some hope that Ferranto might be able to return at some point this season but the school described his injury as “season-ending” in a release on Friday afternoon.

    When the Bulldogs begin preseason practice in August, Chubb will be on the field to work out in just about every capacity outside of live tackling. Georgia won’t know more about Michel’s status until the first two scrimmages take place. 
    That means there could be an opportunity for live reps to go to freshman running back Elijah Holyfield, who enrolled this summer. Holyfield, the son of boxing legend Evander Holyfield, was considered the state of Georgia’s best running back recruit in the class of 2016 and figures to have a chance to show he’s deserving of some early playing time.
    “Holyfield’s there working out every day,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said. “He comes from a really good program. He knows how to work out, he knows how to compete. He knows the demands at a college-type program because they gave him that at Woodward (Academy). It’s also going to be a new offense. It’s a lot on freshmen.”

    I just don’t see Mizzou as a trap game:

    Kirby Smart joined Georgia at the absolute perfect time with a ton of talent in place and a relatively mediocre schedule. The Bulldogs have set the bar high but they need to take advantage of every single matchup in order to give them a shot at coming out on top in the SEC East. Georgia will open against North Carolina and then travel to Ole Miss for a huge SEC crossover game against Ole Miss but first they will have to make a stop at Missouri on September 17th. The Tigers have a new head coach in Barry Odom with eight starters returning from one of the best defenses in the nation so the Bulldogs can’t afford to overlook a potential trap game at Missouri.

    This Walter Grant shot is one of the few recruit shot I got yesterday. KJ Britt is in town. Hopefully, I get him today.

    Here are a few photos from Kirby Camp. I have a few problems with the equipment yesterday. Some photos couldn’t be used but I fixed it when I got home , so we should get tons today.

    The camp was intense. Smart told them that he did not want to hear the word, hot. He and the staff pushed the campers like it was a team practice – I was surprised.
