If Mark Richt’s happy about this, then I am, too.
Keith Marshall, Faton Bauta and Mark Beard attended the team meeting and have begun practices. Marshall, the highly-touted tailback, was already looking at a playbook at the meeting, which Richt said “gave me a moment to grin.”
“He’s a very talented young man,” Richt said. “He’s very focused.”
Can’t wait to see how he looks at G-Day.

Hopefully he has two good ankles….

Ya know, 1 has taken a lot of grief….almost 900 yards, behind an offensive line that could not consistently block the Sisters of Mercy and being suspended for five quarters….and having a bum ankle…I’m glad Marshall is here, but the idea Crowell is some kind of bum is ludacris. Oh, and did I mention Crowell had to adjust to the holes closing a whole lot faster at the next level, and he had to do it on the fly, as it were?
Twould seem to me it is time to get off the kid’s back.

A little competition never hurt anybody. Crowell will either mature and step up or he won’t. My bet is that he will. Come next September he will be kickin’ ass and takin’ names. He’s a big boy. He’s gonna be okay.
It is just gonna take a lotta love

+ 1 – The competition will make us better, more depth of above average backs is necessary. Malcome and Samuels are our power backs and may can be moved to FB if Crowell progress and Marshall is who he is supposed to be. I’m (unlike many Bobo haters) looking forward to what this offense will look like next year.

That’s a Neil Young tune, fluke. Story is she was driving a rental car in which Young left a demo tape including that song, and he agreed to let her record it.

Larson sang backup/harmony on a bunch of the Neiler’s records, notably “Comes A Time” (’78) and “Harvest Moon” (’92), just to play this thread out to its end.

The question with me isn’t his ability, I don’t know about that yet, nor is his ankles, that can happen to anyone, but I do worry about a player whose teammates don’t come to his side. I worry even more about the Seniors having to have a “chat” during the week of the SECCG. I am all for him, but there is a lot of smoke coming from the area of #1. He gets his chance this spring and and summer. A spirited competition cannot do anything but help UGA.
Jordan Jenkins is a huge steal, need to start bringing some more big fish on board, particularly DBs and OL studs.

Crowell is only 50-50 to be on the team at the start of next season. I hope I’m wrong but……

Faton is in the Tim Tebow mold so he will most likely wind up at fullback for us.

I believe Emerson reported that Richt said Faton will stay at QB.

Lotta truth in that post, applies even moreso to Auburn though. It’s only about 25 minutes farther from Atlanta to Auburn than it is to Athens, so AU becomes a natural backup school. for Metro Atlantans with lower SAT scores.

Not only are those schools backup schools, Alabama as a whole is a backup state.

Ya know, it hasn’t been that hard to be a star running back at Georgia since Ole No. 34 left. Through Vince’s golden years, Goff, Donnan, and Richt, think of all the decent to big names we’ve had. If Keith Marshall keeps his head on halfway straight and stays injury free, odds are in his favor.

Hey, there’s another five star recruit coming our way! In fact, this is one that we weren’t very sure about, was it Raleigh St. Clair? Pretty good start for the worlds dumbest coaching staff, I’d say.
