He went into great detail about the issues he was dealing with in an autobiography that came out in 1999. It’s an inspirational but *very* cautionary tale.
I played a little footbal along, long time ago. I used to love to hit, and would seek out contact both in practices and in games. It was pretty normal back then to lead with your helmet and i would go helmet to helmet more often than not just tohave hard contact with what seemed like a harmless thing. Years later I had headaches and went to the doctor and he said I had bone chips in my neck, and had I hit someone wrong, could have been paralyzed. I thought he would wnat to remove the bone chips, but he said they has fused themselves to my spinal column in my neck and could be dangerous to fool with them now.
The things we do in our youth affect us for the rest of our lives, sometimes! :lol:

Wow. Sounds like he is doing well now, though, so that's good. Thanks for catching me up. I lose track of players once they leave college. I don't watch or follow the NFL anymore, so it's good when I get caught up on some people.

Did not know this. hate to hear it. Oddly enough there were several Auburn players I enjoyed watching. Sullivan, Beasley, Bo (of course), Takeo Spikes
After Auburn, LSU probably had more of my favorites, but part of that was because I was born in Baton Rouge, and had relatives that graduated from there. While living in BTR, George Rice was a family friend, and he would wrestle around the floor with me and my brothers.

Terry was a personal hero of mine growing up. I got to meet him in around 2005. Just a large hearted man.
I just remember a lot of talk surrounding them. Not surprising that Beasley was a good guy off the field. :cheers:

AJ Green never got a thousand yards? That's insane considering he has Stafford.
Georgia has always pretty much spread the ball around. That is one explanation for that.
That said he had 963 yards his freshman season.
He was injured for a good portion of his sophomore season.
He was suspended for the first 4 games of his junior season for selling his jersey to a former North Carolina player for $1,000 and still managed 848 yards.
He went pro and did not play his senior year.

Just looked it up, and apparently I am older than i thought. Don't see Beasley anywhere in the Heisman voting. He was still one of my favorite receivers.

Are you saying they talk shite?
This can't be so.....
In fairness i have only seen 2 maybe three Texas fans acting that way. Y'all are acting like they are like Tennessee fans. :scared:
:lol: That one left LSU off completely. I think they have two losses? Both by Georgia, interestingly enough. That surprises me.
Before LSU fans get their feelings hurt....LSU has beaten Georgia in the SECCG 3 times.

They got LSU all messed up. I also don't see 6 wins in the SECCG. 5 is close, but the 8 losses is way off.
(Did I miss a win fr LSU, or is it "only" 5?

As bad as Arkansas has been, we still have a more recent win at UGA than Auburn.
There has been some serious ju-ju going on between Georgia and Auburn. Even when Auburn clearly has had the better team, Georgia seems to pull out a win. I reminds me of when Florida did the same thing to Georgia for many years. Things are cyclical, though, and I'm sure sooner or later things will change, but it has been strange about our hold on Auburn the last 15 or so years. (Lately, of course Georgia has had the better teams, but there were times here and there Auburn could have won and some fluke play pushed us over the top)

Lists like this are silly. With the expansion of the SEC, there are lots of teams that rarely play other conference teams on the road. LSU has only played at Georgia once since 2009 and that was in 2013.
This is correct and a real shame. I was born in Baton Rouge, and grew up an LSU fan. I love it when Georgia and LSU play and always look forward to the games. Looks like with the new 9 game SEC schedule we will see each other more often. There have been some great, close, hard fought games and some blowouts on both sides. I am looking forward to seeing LSU more often going forward.

They would be lucky to get to the sweet 16 prob.
I think considering our past history in basketball that is probably reasonable.
Be honest, though...after seeing our past history and taking it into account, would you say Mike White was a good fit here? A good hire for us? Don't compare him to your coach. Just take into account what georgia has been in the past, and what it is doing the last couple of years. Yes, it is pretty pedestrian stuff compared to Florida and some of the other schools in the SEC, but world's better than our past, and SEEMINGLY headed in the right direction. I think that is what shocks Georgia fans about Florida fans continuing to laugh at the White hire.
For instance. If Summrall gets Florida to a 9-3 record in his second year, would you say he was a good hire, considering he stopped the slide and actually would have the best record for Florida in 7 or 8 years? Of course! That is where we are at. Georgia fans understand we are not a power or a threat to make a run in March Madness, but we are at least headed in the right direction.

Seriously? The Buckeye fan is right. The B1G has won the last three National Championships, and did it with 3 different teams.
They finished with 3 of the top 5 teams in the country. At the moment, I don't think it is too far fetched to say the B1G has passed the SEC...at least for now. It's not like the Buckeye fan has come out of nowhere to make these claims. You can claim that the B1G is top heavy, but that is exactly what they were saying when the SEC was winning titles every year. Right now, the B1G has passed us. It's just the way things are right now. The SEC has gotten complacent, and will need to get on the stick if we want to be back on the top again.

Posted by DawgsLife on 2/6/26 at 8:01 am to Floyd Dawg
I know what you guys are all thinking, but y'all do realize the OLB coach does not call the defensive plays or scheme, right? The OLB is supposed to teach technique, and what to do within the scheme the defensive coordinator calls. The DC decides what formation, personnel etc to call then sends that down to the defensive QB (typically one of our ILB) who calls the formation/scheme to the defensive group. If each position group called their own scheme we would have a mishmash scheme where players are bumping into each other. The OLB coach does not have anything to do with what is called once the game starts.
They do have some input with how to attack an offense pregame and some during halftime IF the DC and head coach wants their input.
Georgia's whole defensive philosophy is to pressure the QB, and affect the ply. The last several years we have concentrated on pressuring the QB and making him uneasy in the pocket early in the season, and then attack and sack the QB later in the season.
