I usually don’t spend time posting about Georgia’s verbal commitments, because… well, because they’re verbal commitments. But there’s always an exception to the rule, and today’s is Augusta safety Rashad Roundtree, who was rocking these pants today when he announced his intent to play in Athens.
Here’s a close up.

Can the rest of us start a program to help these people? We could offer them a choice:
a) zoloft
b) Auburn season tickets
c) a .38 with a single bullet and diagram so that it is used safely, effectively and for the betterment of all mankind
Those who eggs player’s homes and blast players on Twitter would be eligible for the program but their choices would be limited to “c” only.

Sorry if my hatred of the “nabobs of negativity” seems a might disproportionate. But I do hate them so very much.
Isn’t being a football fan a choice? I mean its not like you can’t choose what team you like or whether to watch football at all. You can. If you can’t find joy in it and all you can seem to do is make everyone else suffer with your whining and criticism and despair and hopelessness, really I’ve got no use for you. I’d rather spend my time with a Florida fan telling me how they are going to get to Atlanta this year than listen to “oh woe is me, we’ll never win another natty unless we fire everyone and hire one of the million candidates who would win 17 championships in 15 years if McGarrity weren’t so stupid.” I mean you have to ask yourself, are these people really worth the oxygen? So I say, medicate and get happy, switch teams until you are content or end it for the sake of all us. I mean, its not like they think they have anything to look forward to, amirite?

Hang it there Derek, there are many more of us who stand with the Dawgs, even when we stub our toe. The number of committed fans far outnumber the Disney Dawgs on here who live in a world where you never lose or face adversity. And when you do, the reaction is to throw the players and staff under the bus to help you deal with reality. Screw ’em. They expect a W every week, and a blowout a that. Can’t be much fun dwelling on negatives all season, every year but that is their issue.

It is my attempt to not cede the high ground to the negatrons, AHD. They have always claimed that any one who felt positive and supported the program was living in a fantasy world and didn’t accept reality. I feel there are more positives than negatives surrounding UGA football, especially under Richt, so they are the ones out of touch with reality. Expecting everything to be rosy every year/game is not reality so it is they who live in Walt Disney’s fantasy world. Look at the wild swings in emotions they endure when you look at the overall picture, they come on periodically and spew their venom and then are shut up when things go well again, only to reappear when there is a bump, of any kind. Those of us who look at true reality know that every program has fluctuations and you cannot live life on the edge and over react continuously. Plus, what kind of life is that for a fan, to be unhappy all the time and attack those who are supporting the program and keeping expectations in?
Realistically, UGA has much more to feel confident about than to wallow in misery. We are among the top 10 among winning programs in America for all time, we compete in the best conference in football, and are one championship from being tied for second all time in that conference’s history. We have been ranked in the Top 10 several times in Richt’s tenure, won the East five times and the SEC title twice. How fricking bad is that? Could it be better? Sure, and it has come close to beiun geven better than that several times. And we do it while being hamstrung a bit because we choose to do things “according to Doyle”..for which they would have you believe is the wrong way. So yeah, I say us realists have a better grip than the Disney Dogs who feel the sky is always falling, or just about to.

That’s Popeye Doyle who, when our players go on frolics and detours, connects those infractions and reports them to the NCAA Headquarters. With other feeder programs, the guilty always get away but with our dragnet we make sure that will never happen. Now, who’s up for some drug testing?

Great pickup. Now if Georgia was smart they would get his teammate Stephen Houzah. He really does play safety for Lakeside. I saw them play my high school team the last three years. Roundtree played at the line of scrimmage against them this year and hardly had any effect on the game. Houzah made tackle after td saving tackle with quite a few hard hits. Returned two kickoffs for touchdowns also. Also played receiver. Roundtree is bigger but never once played safety. He is almost too big to play safety in my opinion. More of a Lo Carter type player.

Ever since Spring I have been watching this class, and the next one, consistently build with players that we often just miss on. Not a close follower of HS football, and I know we don’t have them on board yet, but the staff is hitting doubles and round-trippers every 2-3 weeks. Even for a non-recruitnik, this seems like we are going to be a major factor for years to come. Let’s hope we finish strong and do nothing to disrupt the momentum. Just a few key fill-in positions yet to fill in and this will be the best class I have seen come to UGA. Combine that with the star power left from this current squad and I like the ingredients of our teams for the near-term future..

One of the areas we still need help on for next year but we have some guys on campus already that will be back, and reports on Wynn as a true freshman sound encouraging.

We certainly have RBs that can perform with just a sliver of space.
