Richt talks about dropping weight and Gurley heisman campaigning

I love me a good Seth Emerson article and we are in the doldrums of April where all we get is glorious MLB baseball and NBA/NHL garbage so why not post up a good Emerson piece.
He gives us his run of the mill, ho hum, nothing answers in regards of our future RBs and the battle for #2 QB but it seems he's still hell bent on not running heisman campaigns for the players
In essence I agree but I feel like Georgia has the resources to do this regardless. What's it hurt to run a heisman campaign? I remember having this debate a while back and so lets all argue some more.
quote:
Richt said position coaches gave the strength staff guidelines on about how much weight they would like certain players to lose.
“Not that we’re a bunch of fat guys, but in some ways we’re strong and thick in the legs and rear and things like that,” Richt said before a UGA Day event in Gainesville. “Not that we don’t want to be strong. But we’re willing to give up a little bit of size for some quickness. For the ability to recover quicker.”
It’s a big change from the last time the Bulldogs underwent a change in strength and conditioning. After they went 6-7 during the 2010 season, the team turned over its strength staff and focused on getting bigger.
“A few years ago we played somebody and got thrashed physically. (So we said) we gotta get stronger. So we got stronger,” Richt said. “Again, we don’t want to give up being strong. But we’ve got to be able to move, change direction, cover quickly, and play in space. More than just wad up and just hammer.”
(Richt said he didn’t mean one game specifically.)
There are some players that the team does want to put on weight: Richt alluded to “a couple little skinny corners,” and a safety or two. But the majority of linebackers and linemen are on a slim-down plan.

Later, a fan asked if Georgia would run a Heisman campaign for Gurley. Richt said no, citing other star player he’s coached, such as Charlie Ward and Warrick Dunn.
“I don’t think you have to have a campaign for the Heisman. I think the numbers will speak for themselves,” Richt said …

I think he's right on the part about the campaign not really helping you win the award. I do think that they should do a campaign though, for different reasons. I think we should put up a few billboards strategically located in metro ATL, for recruiting purposes more than anything. They'd basically be ads for the football program.

That's how I see it. I want Gurley to get hype and all, which he will regardless, but I want all the kids and people seeing Gurley billboards, websites, videos etc

We should go all joey harrington on erryone and post Gurley's full body on the side of like the empire state building or something.

We should also hire planes to fly over every SEC game opening weekend that all have a giant Gurley picture being towed

No..have Gurley parachute down from a plane into Sanford pregame.
Also he has to be angled just right and come down in our endzone. And like, he has to time it just right so that the other team kicks off, he's just landing and cutting away the chute so that as soon as he hits the ground he receives the kick and takes off. Instaheisman.

After that I'd just wanna end the season because idk if life could get better. I'd cry.

Something me and my buds always talk about would be for our next blackout. Before the team comes out we turn out all the lights in sanford. Then the assistant coaches walk out of the tunnel carrying torches, Bobo can be Paul Bearer in this case. After they get to the G Richt bursts up out of the coffin and a camera zooms in on his face and it's on the big screen and his eyes roll back in a perfect Undertaker impression.

Can we get Ekeler to sacrifice a goat wearing the other teams colors on the bridge?
Posted on 4/23/14 at 3:00 pm to Damn Good Dawg
Yes, and we'll also construct a zipline that Friday so after the sacrifice we send the goat down the zipline directly into the other teams portable bathroom setup behind their bench.
Posted on 4/23/14 at 3:01 pm to Damn Good Dawg
Yeah. And then have Pruitt piss on the freshly killed goat corpse.
That would be highly motivating.

How about shut all the lights off right after the away team runs on the field and leave them off for like 30 seconds. Then just jumbotron cuts on to show Gurley wearing a red jersey, which he rips off revealing a black one underneath. He looks into the camera and just says "Hey (insert team here), y'all are so fricked."
Lights turn on, team storms onto the field,
???
Profit

You can zip line that sucker right after Pruitt pisses on it.

I lol'd but for some reason I pictured crow doing this which makes it funnier.
"We so stacked, yall so fricked"
Posted on 4/23/14 at 3:04 pm to WG_Dawg
Even better. Have Crow up on the jumbotron with Gurley and maybe Floyd

"Is, is that...is that isaiah crowell? That guy isn't even on the team anymore!"

Also how cool would it be to play the AU game this year on Herty field. Throwback mothafrickaaazzzz. Tickets will be pricey though, seating capacity is a max of 120 people.

We could have to stripling come back and do it for us, he was the scariest looking player on Georgia I've ever seen IMO.
