I love a good malaprop as much as anything. And I feel like we haven’t heard a really good one out of a Georgia football player since Charles Grant’s immortal “motivation stone” utterance. But I think Lorenzo Carter has stepped up to fill the breech breach.
Despite not having a game to prepare for, Jeremy Pruitt is still popping in tape to teach and explain his defense.
But the second year defensive coordinator isn’t just pulling from what he saw from the Georgia defense last season. He is also drawing on his time as a defensive backs coach at Alabama and as a defensive coordinator Florida State.
Spots where he won multiple national championships.“We’ve seen so many different places where he’s been and produced,” sophomore Lorenzo Carter said. “We’ll watch film from his Alabama team and his Florida State team. It’s all matriculating in.”
“It’s all matriculating in” may have to become this season’s catchphrase. I dig it.

As long as they can prevent the other team from matriculating the ball down the field.

I made a vague reference to matriculation yesterday and everybody laughed at me. 😦

Get 10 sacks next year and you can matriculate all you want. 😉

That would probably violate some chicken$#!+, obscure and arcane NCAA rule…

Better to be “matriculated in” than “micturated on”.

Help with the Charles Grant reference. I’m drawing a blank on motivation stone. And I know Charles reasonably well so I can imagine this being kind of funny.

I was just about to ask about it too. I obviously completely missed that back when it happened.

It’s something I heard him say on a post-game radio interview, probably with Loran. He said he was using something as a motivation stone to make his play better. I knew what he meant, but it still cracked me up.

They’re been handing out motivation stones at Auburn for quite some time.

10 4. Boyd Crowder said, “I’ve been called a lot of things but inarticulate isn’t one of them.” Charles is a pretty nice guy but his version of that quote would substitute articulate for inarticulate. Motivation stone. We need to start using that. Lexicon entry?

I had an English prof at UGA that shared her most humorous error. She meant to write about the “threat of castration,” but discovered during revising that she wrote about the “treat of castration.”
Freude would not be able to stop laughing.
