Since we don't have any Spring Practice reports or gossip, here's a history of Ben Epps. He was Georgia's version of the Wright Brothers. Invented flight in Georgia, on Washington Street downtown, from his bicycle shop. The Athens airport is named after him, and I think Hartsfield-Jackson should be renamed for him as well.
