Food Service: Commuter plan unattainable

Each semester, University Food Services Director Michael Floyd hears the same question from a handful of students who call him or walk into his office. Why isn’t there a commuter meal plan? And each semester, Floyd, said he gives them the same answer. “Our meal plan is for unlimited access all day,” he said. “We, [...]

2002 football lineup looks promising

Let the expectations begin. The formula for a run at the SEC championship is there for Bulldog coach Mark Richt in 2002. Georgia returns 19 starters — nine on offense and seven on defense — along with all three kickers from a team that went 8-3. The entire coaching staff seems likely to return, along [...]

Recruiting efforts will focus on offensive line

Georgia’s recruiting needs this winter are obvious. “Offensive lineman, offensive lineman and offensive lineman,” said Jeremy Crabtree, a recruiting analyst for (Alliancesports.com). The Bulldogs lose just one starting offensive lineman in center Curt McGill this season, but after 2002, they’ll lose four starters and five reserves. That makes signing linemen this February a priority. “You [...]

Greene named SEC freshman of the year

Georgia redshirt freshman quarterback David Greene has been named Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year by the Associated Press. Greene set a school record by passing for 2,789 yards as a freshman, with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He surpassed former Bulldog quarterback Quincy Carter’s freshman mark of 2,484 passing yards in 1998, and he’s [...]

Dogs probably Outback bound

All right … now what? With its regular season concluded, all that’s left for Georgia is a bowl — but which one? At 8-3, the No. 17 Bulldogs most likely are headed to the Outback Bowl to face Ohio State. However, a decision could come as late as next week, after the Southeastern Conference Championship [...]

Seniors show leadership in eight-win year

The one thing Georgia coach Mark Richt wanted out of his players this season was something he couldn’t coach — faith. Faith in him and his coaching staff, after replacing Jim Donnan, who had led Georgia to a 40-19 record and four consecutive bowl wins. Faith in the direction of the season, which three weeks [...]

Bennett scores big

He doesn’t point his finger to the sky, or wear some kind of memoir on his wristband or jersey. Georgia sophomore kicker Billy Bennett wasn’t going to do that. Why should the game he plays be a measurement of how much he loves and misses his mother, Kay Bennett, who died this summer of cancer? [...]

Seniors hope to end the season on a high note against Houston Saturday

Finish the drill. It’s been the motto of Georgia coach Mark Richt’s staff for their first year in Athens. Through grueling mat drills in February, to spring practice, to a fourth quarter comeback against Tennessee, Bulldog players have been clinging to that slogan as this year’s theme. Saturday, however, marks an end to the Bulldog [...]

Dogs hope bowl bids yield New Year’s Florida vacation

Breakout the what-ifs, it’s time for a little bowl projection. At 7-3, Georgia is near the middle of the SEC pecking order for bowls. That’s not high enough for a spot in a BCS bowl, but not too shabby for one of those nice Florida bowls. Where will the Bulldogs land? Considering we’ve got some [...]

Football Notebook

Dogs hope for complete game Georgia, more than a 31-point favorite over winless Houston, still has a lot to play for Saturday at noon in its regular season finale. A win against the Cougars (0-10) would give the Bulldogs (7-3) eight wins for the fifth consecutive season — a school record. The record would surpass [...]
