Cleaning out the .... "Why haven't I linked to this yet?" pile.
David Hale has been all over the linebackers the past few days. On Sunday he talked about leadership and new faces in the Macon paper. His blog provided a video interview with Rennie Curran, and he did a player by player discussion yesterday.
Quasi related to linebackers, there's a couple of human interest stories that ran yesterday. The first discusses Randall Godfrey (former LB) and his return to college after 12 years in the NFL.
Totally unrelated to linebackers, but "where are they now" related....the Tallahassee paper caught up with Tony Milton. Milton was the forgotten homeless running back that Richt found in 2001. He's best known for the game clinching run against UT in 2002, and the bone crushing pass block vs. Kentucky in '02. Today, he's working on a pro golf career.

That's awesome to hear from Tony Milton, that kid always had such a fantastic story.
Just beat Florida.
GATA.
I remember that pass block from Milton. It was supposed to be a play action, but he saw that safety coming in on the blitz and just ignored the football. It was deliciously brutal.
I'd love to see a YouTube video of that block. GATA Tony.
ZEUS!
I've never been so excited to see that naked pitch we used to run as when Milton converted for the 1st down against UT. Reflexively, every time I saw it I yelled "Nooooooo!!!!", but that one time, in that one situation, it was the perfect call.
Macon,
The UT sweep in '02 wasn't naked. It was student body and one of our fullbacks obliterated two or three Vols to make it work.
The naked fake toss of DOOM was near the end of the calamitous 2002 UF game.
I hate that play.
BTW -- your recruiting article on this guy reminds me of that guy fake awards...or whatever it was called was brilliant.
Tony was certainly "man enough" against Tuscaloosa.
MIke, what did Milton do against BAMA in Tuscaloosa? Just wondering if it was superb blocking cause all I remember was Musa running like a beast.
In the 4th Quarter, on the decisive drive, he ran the ball 3 or 4 times, gaining first downs on a couple of 3rd and 4 or 5 type situations keeping the chains and clock moving.
