With the AutoZone Liberty Bowl set to kick-off today in Memphis, the Georgia injury report grew a little longer with the unusual addition of Uga VIII. The team’s mascot will miss the bowl game and all festivities due to gastro-intestinal illness. Uga VIII does have a viable back-up in Russ who was the team’s interim mascot after Uga VII passed away. Russ is no stranger to back-up duties as he has already filled-in for six games this season and...
The Georgia Bulldogs (6-6) arrived in Memphis yesterday in preparation for the Liberty Bowl against Central Florida. Unfortunately, it was not a full flight as running back Caleb King, CB Derek Owens, and OT A.J. Harmon will not be collecting frequent flier miles because they were all deemed academically ineligible to participate in post-season play. Though King had a subpar junior campaign, being sidelined is still a significant loss for head coach Mark Richt as he is the team’s...
Next year’s Chick-fil-A kickoff game will feature Boise State and Georgia. The two teams agreed terms to play in Atlanta on September 3, 2011. The game will be Boise’s second season-opener that the team will play on the road. Boise faced Virgina Tech earlier this season at Landover, MD’s, FedEx Field. Boise was originally scheduled to travel to Oxford, MS, to play the Ole Miss Rebels, but dropped them from the schedule for Georgia. The two schools rescheduled their meeting for the...
Without a doubt, Nebraska boasts the best defense in college football and the man responsible is Carl Pelini. Not to take anything away from QB Taylor Martinez and the Cornhuskers’ explosive ground game, but it’s Carl Pelini’s ingenious defensive schemes that is responsible for a 5-0 start. On Thursday, Nebraska opened Big XII play in dominating fashion, limiting Kansas State’s Heisman hopeful RB Daniel Thomas to just 63 yards on 22 carries, well below his 157 yards/game average. Currently,...
On January 3, 2007, Nick Saban agreed to become Alabama’s 27th head coach. Both the Tide and Saban were the butt of many jokes across the nation. College football fans from Eugene, OR, to West Palm Beach, FL, were placing bets on how long it would be before Saban left the Crimson Tide for greener pastures elsewhere. Thirty-eight wins later, it looks as if Saban and Alabama are having the last laugh. For a conference that prides itself on being the...
The last time the Colorado Buffaloes had reason to celebrate, George W. Bush was in office and the Buffs knocked off #21 West Virginia in an edge-of-your-seat 17-14 overtime victory. Fast forward to 2010, the Colorado nation now has something to cheer about after a strong non-conference showing going 3-1 with one setback at the hands of Cal 52-7. The eyes of excitement were apparent by the ecstatic fans rushing Folsum Field after the Buffs upset Georgia 29-27 this past...
Georgia officials are urging fans to help keep the campus clean on game day.
Breaking news from the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that Georgia star WR A.J. Green will be suspended for 4 games by the NCAA after allegedly selling his Independence Bowl game jersey for $1,000. Green missed Georgia’s season-opener against Louisiana-Layfayette last week, but many thought the junior would be cleared of any wrongdoing by this week’s game against South Carolina. This comes as a blow to Georgia as Green is the team’s most valuable weapon. Though nagged by injuries forcing...
