The Red & Black’s two football beat writers, Ryan Black and Chris D’Aniello, and Red & Black sports editor Nick Parker sat down to preview who they are high on, and who they’re not buying the hype for, in the SEC this year. Check back Tuesday afternoon for our players edition. Undervalued Ryan Black: MISSISSIPPI [...]
POSITION BREAKDOWN: Defensive Line
August 23, 2011 by NICK PARKER
Filed under First & Goal, Football, Sports
Defensive Line Outlook: This should be the most improved position group on the whole team, in my opinion. And the Bulldogs will need it. Last year, Deangelo Tyson performed admirably at nose tackle, but he simply wasn’t big enough to clog the middle up as much as needed. That problem is solved this season with [...]
POSITION BREAKDOWN: Offensive Line

OFFENSIVE LINE OUTLOOK: If last season was any indication, offensive line has to be the Georgia coaches’ biggest offensive question mark. Not only were the Bulldogs very disappointing rushing the ball, finishing 10th in the Southeastern Conference on the ground, but Aaron Murray was hit quite frequently (Nick Fairley comes to mind). The good news [...]
IN THE DOG HOUSE: NCAA is a sham and has been exposed

A multi-billion dollar façade has been exposed many times over the last year — but moreso than ever this week — for exactly what it is: A sham. I’m not talking some big corporate accounting scandal or a multi-billion dollar ponzi scheme like Madoff, but rather the NCAA. One-hundred-and-five years ago, the NCAA was created [...]
POSITION BREAKDOWN: Quarterbacks

Quarterbacks Outlook: If Georgia starting quarterback Aaron Murray makes the progression from year one to year two that most quarterbacks see, he could end up a Heisman frontrunner. That’s how good Murray was in year one as a starter, when he completed 61 percent of his passes for 3,049 yards. And he controlled turnovers, too, [...]

Ultimately, the latest team to the party came home with the commitment, as 6-foot-10, 225-pound center John Cannon told the Dawg Post’s Fletcher Page that he committed to Georgia Saturday after receiving an offer late this spring and visiting recently. Cannon’s signature is another spring effort by coach Mark Fox to solidify a front court [...]

A.J. Green is off to the land of prima donnas. He will join Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens — the NFL’s two biggest mouths at wide receiver — in the Cincinnati Bengals’ receiving corps after being selected No. 4 overall in the NFL Draft Thursday night. It’s an interesting twist of fate for a player [...]
Green could fall anywhere in top 10 of NFL Draft

A.J. Green’s lifelong dream of becoming an NFL player will come true Thursday night. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will call Green’s name to walk across the Radio City Music Hall stage in New York City — even if Green doesn’t see the field next season due to the NFL lockout. And based off mock drafts, [...]
Tennis falls in SEC semifinals

It wasn’t the way any team wants to start. Losing all three doubles matches, and then the first set in four of its singles matches, the fifth-ranked Georgia men’s tennis team dropped a 0-4 decision to 11th-ranked Kentucky Saturday at the SEC championships. The semifinal loss kept the team from a date with the winner [...]
