The name Teresa Edwards is linked to the University of Georgia — and now also with the Olympic Games. After four gold medals, one bronze and a memorable recital of the Olympic oath in Atlanta in 1996, it’s hardly surprising that Edwards has become an Olympic staple. But the former Lady Bulldog basketball player will [...]

If anyone expected the Georgia football team’s annual spring game to answer any of the Bulldogs’ questions ahead of the 2012 season, then they were sorely disappointed last Saturday. While several players impressed, the Bulldogs are still preparing for fall camp with several suspensions that threaten to tear apart the starting defensive unit as well [...]

With the announcement by the Tennessee Lady Volunteers that legendary women’s basketball head coach Pat Summitt would be stepping down from the position she has held for 38 years, women’s basketball lost perhaps its most iconic presence. Summitt was diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2011 but coached the Lady Vols through a 2011-12 season [...]

Georgia head coach Mark Richt said the team still planned on redshirting backup quarterback Hutson Mason (14) despite an impressive G-Day passing performance which saw him complete 9 of 12 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. C.B. SCHMELTER/Staff

Going by the numbers, Hutson Mason could be competing for the starting quarterback position. Mason completed 9 of 12 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown in the Georgia football team’s annual G-Day spring game on Saturday. But despite the impressive statistics, it still seems more likely that Mason will spend the 2012 season on [...]

Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray (11) and the red team escaped with a 32-31 victory over the black team (wearing white jerseys) on Saturday in Sanford Stadium.

All spring the Georgia football team’s offense has had to hear about how great the Bulldogs’ defense is and will be. In the annual G-Day game on Saturday, the offense wanted to make a statement — and they did that on the first play of the contest when Aaron Murray hit tight end Arthur Lynch for [...]

Georgia’s football team won’t be under any pressure on Saturday. The Bulldogs won’t have the eyes of the Southeastern Conference on them. They won’t be chasing a championship. Is it possible for the annual G-Day game to be successful? According to the Georgia players and coaches, success comes in different forms in the spring game. [...]

MARC DEAS

When Mark Deas decided he wanted to leave the Georgia football team on March 31, he had looked back on his two years as a Bulldog. He had seen a year redshirting on the scout team and a 2011 season that saw him appear in all 14 games but record only three tackles. “I was [...]

John Jenkins (above) and fellow nose guard Kwame Geathers have made on Georgia's defensive line this spring, with both Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham commending the duo for their improvement.

After Todd Grantham was hired as Georgia’s defensive coordinator in 2010, he went about installing a brand new 3-4 defensive system. For Grantham’s new style to be successful, he knew he had to find at least one Bulldog capable of taking on the demands of the nose guard position. In his third spring with the team, [...]

But before the unit can attain that title, it has plenty of questions to answer. The Bulldogs began the spring knowing they would have to replace three starters on the line — tackles Cordy Glenn and Justin Anderson [...]
