Richt took the entire team to the Olympic pool over at the Ramsey Center to blow off some steam yesterday. Coach Richt sets the gold standard for leading by example when he executed a back flip off the 10-meter board.

Can you imagine Joe Pa or Bobby Bowden's wrinkly old asses jumping off a 3-story tower with the players? Bowden would probably just go on an on about how "the triple lindy, dadgumit, is the only dive that matters."

Not to be outdone by Georgia when it comes to impressing potential recruits with aquatic endeavors, Tommy Tuberville announced this morning that Auburn now offers an academic major in "Jumping into the Water." Saban, on the other hand, "Doesn't have time for this sh#t."
