re: Georgia. When are we going to become friends again?

Former UGA QB Buck Belue:

Football is a tough, physical, emotional game. Mean dudes play it...like Nick Fairley.

This guy has a take no prisoners approach. He's bringing it. Do I think that was a cheap shot he took against Murray, when he hit his knee down low? No, I don't. Look at the the replay again. Fairley is already low to the ground, getting pushed by the 'Dogs OL...and then, he finishes with the blow to the leg. Could he have bailed out? Don't think so. His momentum was moving forward. Was this a deliberate attempt to hurt Murray. Don't think so.

But I just loved the way the Georgia OL went after him on the next play. Protect your QB. It's an oath every OL should take. Love it! And you can bet Aaron Murray appreciated it.

I played with a guy that lived on the edge too. Eddie "Meat Cleaver" Weaver. He was mean and intimidating, just like Fairley. QB's knew Weaver was going to bring it. Same way with Fairley. I''l end it with this: If you don't want to get hit, go play tennis.

UGA fans from my day just *loved* them some Meat Cleaver Weaver. He was one of those famous JUNK YARD DAWGS. And he played as dirty as the day is long.

But, to UGA fans, that's "different".
