Well, except, I don’t know about you, but that one letter impresses me a helluva lot more with its author than the guys you hear about who send 155 in one day to a recruit.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
What a great guy! This kind of classy old school stuff restores my faith in the game of CF.

Merry Christmas Coach Sumlin
(I can’t help but wonder if he thought about the contrst between our guy and his when he was licking the stamp)

He sent one to his QB too. It read:
“Dear Johnny,
Try not to be an even bigger asshole when you go to the NFL”

Naw, the future coach of the Houston Texans isn’t going to antagonize his first round draft pick.

Thanks heyto…that honestly brought tears to my old eyes. The Georgia Bulldogs are a special brand of people and it starts at the top..and I mean above Coach Richt when I say “the Top”! It doesn’t “trickle down”, it pours!

He could have said, “I wished I coached you instead of the knucklehead I have right now.” Class act by Sumlin, by the way.

Does Murray have a younger brother who plays ball?
LikeLike
I don’t think so. Older brother played minor league base ball & was a walkon at uga for a little.
He also has a terribly attractive college aged sister.

“terribly attractive” ? Is it terrible because she is lovely to the point of being un-approachable by us sweathogs?

Something like that.
Painfully attractive would work too. Athens Banner Herald had a feature about the 3 a few months back.

They seem like 3 really good kids who fortunately have matriculated at UGA. I expect that one day we will hear more good things about them during future pre-game shows with the tagline – “And that’s another Bulldog point of pride.”
