Lunch Time Dawgly Headlines

Let me preface this by saying, has anyone purchased a copy of the SI with the Bulldogs on the cover? I couldn't find one yesterday, and IronChefTurducken had the same experience in Athens. Are they out or are they sold out?

Headlines
  • More gushing praise for AJ Green. He seems like a kid that would really be susceptible to having a big head, but then you look at how he handled his recruitment. No "hat dance press conference" and no wishy washy stuff. Despite local media manufactured rumors out of the low country, he stuck by his early commitment and is now working for a starting job. Hopefully that attitude holds.

  • Georgia's Overlooked Defensive Unit - I first read this headline and thought? Overlooked...that's not right. Then I went back and looked at a pre-season video I'm working on. Hmmmmm.....yeah.....it's mostly offensive highlights. So fair point.

  • Catching up with Demiko Goodman. I was interested to see this profile piece on him. Each year it seems like someone takes a big step out of the shadows and into Prime Time for UGA. Marcus Howard in 2007 is a great example. When Goodman has played, he has played very well. The problem has been getting / keeping him healthy.

  • Just what we're looking for? A few days ago, I said, "I'd like to see an update on Carlton Thomas' progress so far." Ask and ye shall receive. DawgPost.com has an update on Thomas.

  • I also wondered aloud if Justin "Bean" Anderson would get / stay motivated enough to become the dominating force that his physical tools would suggest is possible. Well...either Tanner Strickland is coming on fast or Bean is keeping it lazy because Tanner is gaining on him.
Lastly, the long lost Red & Black March has now been arranged for a brass band. The Athens Brass Choir put together a new arrangement for the 90+ year old lost "fight song." It's still too circus-ish, but it's come a long way from "no human alive has played it before" to this. The Anti-Orange Page has the download. Still needs to be more angry and bada$$.
