* Bobby Petrino says he’s changed. But in reporting a story about the new Louisville coach that is in SI’s college football preview, it appears Petrino is still just as difficult to work and play for. Sources with ties to the Cardinals’ football program and Petrino said there’s significant friction between Petrino and feisty defensive coordinator Todd Grantham. The two have feuded often since Grantham’s hiring in January.
So much that one source insists Petrino would have already gotten rid of Grantham if not for his guaranteed five-year contract that pays him nearly $1 million annually. He came to Louisville after four seasons as Georgia’s defensive coordinator. “He’s stuck with him,” a source said.

1. Georgia's Gurley opens up about ... golf Georgia star running back Todd Gurley is a man of few words. In interviews the 6-foot-1, 226-pound junior’s answers are generally short and to the point. His bothersome sprained left ankle that plagued him last season is now healed (“It’s good.”). The three games he missed last season because of the injury are ancient history, even though he still rushed for 1,385 yards and 17 touchdowns. (“It kind of sucked.”).
Outside of staying healthy for a Bulldogs team that will need him plenty this season with a new starting quarterback in Hutson Mason, Gurley has no individual goals (“I’m ready to go. I’m back at the top.”).
But ask Gurley about golf, his increasingly favorite hobby, and he suddenly opens up a little. “It’s just fun,” Gurley said. “Once you hit that first ball, you just keep going and going.”
Gurley took up the sport in May at the recommendation of Bulldogs kicker Marshall Morgan and punter Collin Barber, both avid golfers. He’s just as blunt in his critique of his early trips to the driving range. “I sucked pretty bad,” Gurley said.
But Gurley is much improved now after visiting the range two to three times a week this summer. So far, his greatest golf accomplishment is making a birdie. He’s also figured out one of his strengths: putting. “That’s where the money’s at,” Gurley said with a laugh.
And Gurley is likely to make plenty after this season if he declares for the NFL draft as expected. He could be the running back that breaks the streak of one not going in the first round the past two years.
“I’m going to get there one day,” Gurley said. He’s talking about his golf game again, not his NFL future.

That's going to be a fun dynamic to watch this season.

Ambition exceeding talent is a dangerous combination.

It seems like they couldn't have a worse combination.
Thank you Louisville for all the good you have done for the University of Georgia.
Oh yeah and Frick Grantham.

Grantham and Petrino deserve each other

Oh lord there goes our season, Gurley more worried about his golf game than getting better at football. *sarcasm*

Jeesh,
You can say what you want, but both these mofo's have the business end figured out.

Lol, Petrino gets what he deserves.

I love Gurley don't care if he's surly. Motormouth RBs are a pain in the arse.
Many forum members seem worried about Hutson Mason. Not me. Hutson has already shown that he has the right stuff. I thought he should've been sharing snaps with Murray last year. Aaron was one tough SOB but he was often way too hyped up.
