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 wonder if the NCAA will also eliminate some of the teams like SC and FLA ? I would be all for that. Maybe they can force nick Saban to retire early. So other teams in the sec will have more of a better chance to win conference

  2. Bulldawg36

    Shoot, make it flag football! If they did, I honestly would quit watching it then! We wouldn’t look right without those red helmets with a G

    Bulldawg36  They get paid. NCAA just ignore tuition, room, board, clothing, computer, medical, dental, eye care, cash stipend and other goodies. Amateurism my butt.

  4. Bulldawg36

    It’s a volunteer job, but heck players may get paid in the future. I wouldn’t rule it out

    revtizzy Bulldawg36 Eliminating Kickoffs changes the game.  It would not be American Football without special teams and kickoffs.  The effects on the game are too numerous and there is nothing that I’ve read thus far that makes sense to me as a replacement.   

    I totally agree with reducing the effects of long term CTE and I too believe that eveything should be done to minimize the risks in football, but I’m not for changing the fundamentals of the game.   Is one collision at high speed worse that repeated blows that a DL or OL face on every single down.  There is much to learn about this condition and I am hopeful that we can continue to minimize the risks, but I do not want to fundamentally change the game of football.

  6. Bulldawg36

    Well people know the dangerous of the game. No matter how much they eliminate people will still get injured. Heck people can get injured or killed on most jobs. If people scared then don’t play.

  7. MMCSDAWG

    Ok…  We are now less than a week away from the start of the 2016 season preparations…  based on everything we actually know at this particular time, which isn’t much! lol.  There are a ton of questions going into the season.  What is your percentage chance that UGA has of winning the SEC east?  and the SEC?  

    Mine are 70% and 30%.   I know I’m an optimist Dawgshine drinking, red glasses wearing Dawg fan.  but I feel our chances of winning the SECe are pretty darn good!  We might not be ready to beat Alabama in the Championship game, but I believe by October we will be ready to beat the UTk inbreeds between the hedges and Kirby KNOWS how important JAX is and I look forward to a MUCH better result during Kirby’s tenure!

  8. Greg Poole

    On the ‘special team produce more injuries’ meme, I’d like to see some numbers on it. On Mike and Mike yesterday it was reported that 13% of injuries come on ST play. Sounds high, but what percentage of total plays constitute ST play? It could be 13% or more. Remember, every three and out bumps up the ST average.

  9. revtizzy

    Bulldawg36 I’d be okay with eliminating kickoffs, honestly.  It is an exciting element to the game, but if football doesn’t deal more effectively with the reality of CTE through rule changes or better equipment, then I think we will eventually lose more than kickoffs.  I could be wrong.

  10. Bulldawg36

    If they eliminate kick offs then I hope cfb loses ratings. Because next ya know they want put flags on people

    DawgLink I have no problem with the transfers if the parents live in the district. Last I heard none of the transfers are “permissive” transfers. Coach Herron said recently that Grayson Athletic Director Brian DeBerry investigated to ensure that all the players that transferred, did so legally. The main GHSA requirements are that they move with a guardian into a new residence in the school district and relinquish their former residence.

    Here is Rush Propst’s take:
    “I don’t think there’s much you can do about it. You can’t punish those kids and make them sit out. That’s not what scholastic athletics is all about. What’s the difference in making them sit out a math class, a science class, an English class? Parents are going to put their kids in the best program.’’

    Colquitt County HS QB Chase Parrish, moved with his family from Thomasville to Colquitt County in eighth grade because, “he wanted to play in a program that can showcase his talent.’’ So Propst knows of what he speaks.

  12. Greg Poole

    IYH_BI I posted that here last week. He is suspended from the team for 6 weeks. That is not his game suspension.

  13. Bulldawg36

    Richt was a special teams ace when we had John Fabris. After he was fired richt didn’t care about special teams anymore

  14. Reddawg13

    MMCSDAWG Well if that is eliminated he has less coaching to do and in an area he didn’t do well anyway, makes sense to me.

  15. IYH_BI

    MMCSDAWG Haha.  I’m surprised it wasn’t “I would have no problem with eliminating special teams”

  16. IYH_BI

    Greg Poole IYH_BI I thought his discussion of Ledbetter and the media’s focus on his suspension was interesting.  Interesting that he is not with the team, not working out with the team, etc.  Be interesting to see if he is in uniform on August 1st.

    DawgByte tmdawg12 Ick, I totally agree. Looks like they had a 12 year old hand paint it.

  19. MMCSDAWG

    IYH_BI Greg Poole He shouldn’t be playing college football at Oklahoma…  IMO.  His actions if accurately describe by those who have seen the surveillance videos are correct.  He should have been dismissed.

  20. IYH_BI

    AlphaDawg dawgmum Greg Poole Herring seems to only be a matter of time.  I’m very interested to see what Lawrence is going to decide.  That is going to be a fascinating choice.
