Them Dawgs Are Gettin' Big

Is it just me, or have UGA football players been making weight gains this off-season at a much higher rate than in the past? We all know that the test of this new strength and conditioning program will really come on the field next season, but it seems like every other day I am hearing about a player that has already gained 10, 15, and even 20+ pounds since this past December!

Chris Low says here that Aaron Murray has put on 15lbs, and check out those guns in that white dri-fit!

Of note, Robinson is up 15 pounds to 230 after playing at 215 last season. He’s moving over to Akeem Dent’s middle linebacker spot. Tight end Orson Charles is now pushing 250, and quarterback Aaron Murray was adamant that it was a chiseled 250. Murray has also gained 15 pounds and weighs 215 going into the spring. Alec Ogletree, who’s moving from safety to inside linebacker, is pushing 240 pounds.

Alec Ogletree is up to 240lbs already! I stood 2 feet away from him at the Vandy game last year and gauked at the size of the kid, so 15+ more pounds on that frame could be lethal.

We all knew that some things were lacking, and here's hoping that Joe T. really does have it going on in the weight room and the dining hall!

Buck Belue, Amen Brother!

A time or two in the past, I have expressed my displeasure with Buck Belue's opinion on things (see here). Today, however, I was loving every bit of his blog on Muschamp taking the UF job.

Let this be a time to rally behind Richt. McGarity has adopted that approach and so should you. Enough of this fractured fan base stuff. You are either with us, or against us. And if you're against us, then go join Muschamp at Florida. Will and Kirby aren't ever coming home to Georgia. They are now apart of the enemy. I say let's whip them. Make them---at least once a year---feel bad they took the job and turned their backs on Georgia.
This obviously takes the Georgia-Florida rivalry to a new level. It's personal now.

Amen brother! The war that has been going on for decades just got a little bit more intense! Richt, Murray, Joe T., and company: change the culture in Dawgland, and re-build a championship caliber program back in Athens!

GATA Dawgs!
