I was not aware of the dancing by the players until it was brought up on the post game call-in show. Obviously, there were a number of fans irritated by the players dancing to “Swag Surfing” on the sideline during a 17-17 game in the 4th Quarter. Maybe no one was more irritated than the best college football kicker ever. When asked by Jeff Dantzler on the post game show what Coach Dooley would have done to his players for actions like this, Butler said, “They won’t allow me to say that on the radio. I just know it was very embarrassing. But I do know Drew would not want to come home if he partook in it.”
Now I have no problem with the players getting excited and I don‘t really blame them for it. But there is a time and place for certain things. In a tied College football game, which has an actual band in the stadium, I’d rather have my 100+ ranked team being coached on what is and isn’t a penalty than having Club Ice take over Sanford Stadium. Coach Richt might be the best coach ever to lead this program and no one will argue he is an even better person. It is impossible to police everything but he might want to ask Dr. Adams and Mr. Evans which one of them approved the song that chronicles some of the player's January activities.
This is probably being blown out of proportion and is a minute thing for a team that went on to win, is 3-1, and ranked in the top 15. College Football just deserves better.

This Literally Made Me Cry At Work Today.
Phil all but calls it quits on ever playing the drums again...
Well at least there's a slim chance he goes back on tour and sings. For now I guess its just back to the youtube videos...
"After playing drums for 50 years, I've had to stop. My vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in. It comes from years of playing. I can't even hold the sticks properly without it being painful, I even used to tape the sticks to my hands to get through."

Continuing The Curran Love Fest
A couple decent quotes I came across today...
On big quarterbacks, via David Hale: “They’re all the same to me. They all throw the ball, they just fall harder than others.”
On knocks against his height, via Tim Guidera: "If I take my shirt off, I guarantee they won't call me undersized.”
I don't follow college recruiting all that closely, but this also was kind of cool...

The Bulldogs appear to have made some major headway with running back Marcus Lattimore, who is considered the No. 1 back in America.
“I have to say that they are back in it for me,” Lattimore told Scout.com’s Chad Simmons. “Georgia has never pressured me and that meant a lot. . . . Me, my dad, and my cousins went down to the game and it was crazy. The atmosphere, the crowd, the game, it was all ridiculous. The students were so loud the entire game and it was great to be there for that. I couldn’t even hear myself think on that last play because it was so loud in there.”
As impressed as Lattimore was with the game-day environment, he said he was even more moved by separate letters from Georgia coach Mark Richt he and his mother received the same day earlier last week.
“He listed 10 reasons why I should go to Georgia,” Lattimore told Scout. “He said that I fit the offense like a glove, he said that the location is not too close and not too far, and things like that. They were all legit reasons for me to look at Georgia again. I was not expecting anything like that so it kind of blew me away.”

Healthcare Question?
An absolutely brilliant man (very creepy picture I will concede) from a very well informed blog posed a very interest question concerning healthcare in America:
Why does there exist a widespread sense that each of us, as individuals, is incapable of — or should not be obliged to — providing for our own health-care needs in the same way that we provide for our own grocery needs, our own household-furniture needs, our own automobile-insurance needs, and many other of our needs?
Comments more than welcome!

DURHAM BACK AT WORK
Senior receiver Kris Durham, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery during the offseason, returned to receiving drills Wednesday for the first time.
Durham was kept out of any competitive situations, Richt said, but he got work in catching passes, which was an important benchmark.
“It’s encouraging and certainly he’s excited about it,” Ball said. “And it’s always good to have Kris around.”
Music to my ears. His Sugar Bowl return is looking more and more likely. Let's take care of the Cocks first. Go Dogs.
10-6.

Time to Move On
but before that, Hale had some finial thoughts on game 1. He has to be one of the best beat writers in the country and he thinks the ship can be righted. However, his assesment of the coaching in Stillwater is not kind and I don't know that many others will disagree.
David Hale:
Georgia essentially went with just three wide receivers the entire game, which no doubt took its toll. Moore said he took 55 snaps alone, but more troubling was the reaction from his coach, who Moore said didn't realize that Brown, Wooten and Troupe had been absent.
I'm not going to pin this on Tony Ball without talking to him first, but if the coaches really weren't aware that they had only used three wide receivers, that is a serious problem.
Aaron White: "We have a lot more that we could throw out there. I feel like a lot of our weapons on offense weren't completely utilized to their potential."
But when it comes to illustrating just how bad the coaching was in this game, I think these two quotes sum it up best.
The first, from Coach A: "Earlier in the game (we) should have varied what (we) did and tried to open it up a little more. We wanted to establish the run and ball control and it started out well, and it just came down to execution and (we) didn’t do a very good job of spreading it out or spreading the field.”
The second, from Coach B: "I felt like (we) didn’t give (Samuel) enough chance to make plays. We really felt like he’s a playmaker and we wanted to give him 25-plus carries. I don’t know what we ended up with, but not enough.”
Now, you're probably reading those quotes and getting a little concerned that there's a clear rift in the philosophy of two of Georgia's offensive coaches. Rightly so. Clearly one guy favors featuring the run, while the other guy thinks that the reliance on the run prevented Georgia from opening things up and stretching the field.
To have two coaches disagree so fundamentally would be concerning. What's even more concerning, however, is that both of those quotes came from Mike Bobo following the game.
And on the cramping and IV's:
I got this email from a reader named John, who was sitting just two rows up in the stands: "It wasn't that hot! I had about 8 beers before the game and only drank one cup of sprite durning the game."

Sturdivant Gone
In what has to be some of the saddest news to come out of Butts-Mehre in a while, Trinton Sturdivant tore the same ACL as he did in August of 2008. His season is over and possibly his career as well. He was the Valedictorian of his HS class. He was a Freshman All-American in '07 and a sinch to be an NFL draftee. His loss will hurt tremendously on the O-line but the circumstances around an injury like this makes that seem pretty irrelevant. DGD!
