Spring is a time for early enrollees and underclassmen to take reps, show their skills, and gain some experience. It's also a time for seasoned vets to work on their dynamics, develop new leadership skills, and work on the playbook. Spring is a time for a team to grow forward as a new unit.
Lately it's also been a time for kids to let loose a little, wave a few guns, flaunt some cash, drink some Hennessey.
Over at Tennessee, players are getting arrested for driving Phil Fulmer to Waffle House late-night while intoxicated. Someone should remind Phil that Gumby's delivers until 4 am.Tuscavegas continues to blow up. Apparently Saban decided it was probably better if his players exhibited some ferocity off the field so it translated into the games. He also instructed them to not accept cash from boosters and steal some from students instead. Hey, getting cash in $26 increments is much less noticeable to the NCAA, right?
Spurrier continues to look away and scratch the university's collective backs. Garcia continues to grow his hair to try to fool the cops into thinking that he's a 55 year old druggie hanging around downtown (you're not in Athens, buddy). A few others are being slapped with disorderly conduct and battery charges left in right, presumably while hanging around 5 Points (no, the Columbia one).
Fayetteville is having a few domestic issues with a certain linebacker who decided to rack up two felonies and a false imprisonment charge. For some reason I kind of expected that after learning about Darren McFadden's domestic conquers.
In Starkville, players are having target practice too close to residence halls. They are also concentrating on how they can be brutally terrible at moving a pigskin in the forward direction.
Athens of course is not innocent. And of course, all of the incidents somehow involve a road. DUI's, pedestrians in the roadway, bad registration, wrong directions on one-ways... when will it ever end? Seems like they should just drive their scooters on the sidewalks and no one will ever say anything. They should also keep the fact that they play football from their potential arresting officers.
Other than that, it sounds like the Dawgs are going to have one hell of a receiving corps. Mohamed Massaquoi and Kenneth Harris seem to be the two earning starting roles, with Kris Durham making a serious bid. Tavarres King seems to be too skinny, but continues to make plays in practice.
Someone get that guy some fries with every meal, please? Everyone is still waiting on AJ Green, but we can't forget guys like Tony Wilson, Demiko Goodman, and Walter Hill. Wilson and Hill, a redshirt freshman, have been getting rave reviews from players and coaches, but Wilson suffered an ankle injury and will be out for the G-Day game. Goodman has been working out with the track team, which only means speed, speed, and more speed.
Be sure and check out G-Day on Saturday to catch all these athletes in action. Should be a preview of what we can do in the air, which I have high hopes for. The game should also be a showcase for our improving offensive line, with young guys like Ben Jones and Justin Anderson on the rise. Caleb King will make his debut as the highlighted tailback, and Richard Samuel and Dontavius Jackson will show what they can do.
This guy just wants some red meat. He don't need no veggies.Try and make the game. It should be exciting. Kickoff is at 2 pm, and tickets are only $5 for adults, $3 for children, and free for students, so there aren't any excuses. If you can't make it, the game will be televised on CSS.
