Durham and Dominique Inducted into College Basketball Hall of Fame
About damn time on both.

A lot of awesome in this photo, taken the night Georgia sealed their 1990 SEC regular season title on the road at Auburn. Wilkins is a no brainer inductee. I'd say Coach Durham should have been put in way before now.
Congrats to both.

RIP Russ
I'd stay off Sting Talk for a day or two.
It's with a heavy heart that we announce that Uga IX, affectionately known as Russ, has passed away. #DGD

When you win your firing press conference
I mean, really....
Richt hopes people remembers: "That he loved Georgia and did it the right way" pic.twitter.com/GHrEBfA8iJ— UGA Football Live (@UGAfootballLive) November 30, 2015
Impossible to see more class, dignity from coach let go after 1.5 decades. We should all hope to be so "centered." #Richt helping UGA here— Chris Fowler (@cbfowler) November 30, 2015
Mark Richt is KILLING this press conference. What a composed performance, sitting there cordially with the guy who just canned him.— David Ching (@ESPNChing) November 30, 2015
Richt says greatest accomplishment at Ga was "being a good father, good husband." "We're devoid of leaders (in this country)." So good.— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) November 30, 2015
Richt's most proud moment at Georgia: "watching guys leave here ready to be a man...be a good man, husband, and citizen of this country"— Bulldogs On 2 (@WSBbulldogs) November 30, 2015

Breaking: Mark Richt out
Developing story, obviously...
Mutually agreed that Mark Richt would step down per #UGA pic.twitter.com/Ye3yWLJBog— Radi Nabulsi (@RadiNabulsi) November 29, 2015
Full release here.Richt was fired. This mutually agreed stuff is spin. Classy way to handle it, but Richt wanted to continue to coach.— Radi Nabulsi (@RadiNabulsi) November 29, 2015

Justin Scott-Wesley: Damn Good Dawg
Why would you ever root against this guy because of selfish desire about SEC or national championships?
And I'm not talking about the Coach Richt stuff. I'm talking about JSW and all of the men that wear the red and black. I just can't fathom anyone calling themselves a UGA fan and then trying to justify to that it is ok to want those same men to lose. That kind of nonsense is beyond a debate about who has won what, when, and by how many, and that coach by God should win more.
Show up and show out Saturday night. The Seniors deserve it.

Do it for Sky
You know who would love being in Athens right now? Sky.
He'd have loved the uncertainty. He'd have loved Jeremy Pruitt. He'd have loved the fans poor mouthing the team. He would have loved Mark Richt's goatee.
He'd have been at the door, with a smirk on his face, saying come on in and have a beer. It'll be all good.
Let's do it for Sky.

Don't bet against NCAA tourney Tom Izzo
Hey, I laid out how we could win. I always thought we'd lose if we didn't hit the shots from the paint, especially layups.
I'm bummed we lost this game. We fought back against a better, more athletic team. We probably just missed another layup or put back.
Thanks to Neme, Marcus, and Taylor for being Damn Good Dawgs.

Chris Conley gets it
Man, the list of DGD's in Bulldog Nation is pretty long, but Conley might well have the best seat in the house. He asked Chip Tower's at AJC to publish a letter to Bulldog Naiton. You can read Chip's whole article here.
The full text of the letter as reprinted from the above linked AJC article:
The full text of the letter as reprinted from the above linked AJC article:
Dear Bulldog Nation,
Where do I begin? Before I was officially a Bulldog, I received support from the fans and the Bulldog Nation. Many of you extended kind words at basketball games or during my visits on campus on game days to make me feel comfortable and at home. Thank you all for the support and the encouragement during good times and even in the bad. The “True Dawgs” who bleed red and black have been a source of strength and were truly a part of my support system throughout my tenure at Georgia.
Coach Richt, thank you for giving me the opportunity to play college football. As some may know, Georgia was my first offer, and although I may had gotten other offers later, Georgia’s early offer when I had just completed my second season of football (ever), gave me confidence that I could play this game. You were a constant support throughout my time at UGA. I know you take a great deal of heat for many things, but I am thankful for the coach that you are and even more so for the man that you are. You are a true builder of men and a damn good football coach. I am thankful that you and Coach Ball saw enough in me to allow a raw, lanky, clumsy kid the chance to play the game he loves and grow.
My current transition into the real world has been surreal and abrupt in some instances. I am adjusting to not being in the locker room around the boys or going to the same workouts. I will forever be indebted to Georgia for the work ethic and attitude that was sharpened during my time in Athens. I will always be a part of the the Dawg Nation and always hope to represent the “G” with pride. I may be in a different city or state in the coming months but a part of my heart will always remain in Athens, between the hedges.
People joke that I will one day be a politician because of the way I speak, the way I interact with everyone, or how I like to bring people together. I don’t hope to one day hold one of those positions, but rather I would like to set an example that we as people should have a goal to unite families, neighborhoods, and cities for the well-being of our state and then our country. Call me an idealist but I believe that all it takes for change to take root is a willing participant and the faith that it will happen. That same willingness and faith is what allowed a 2-3 star recruit to defy the odds and contribute at the greatest school in the country. Let us be the change we want to see in our homes, cities, and state. I am standing with you all.
I’m done giving my inspirational pep talk now. So, if you see me around Athens, Atlanta or anywhere else, don’t be afraid to reach out and speak with me. I hope to continue to be active in these communities because they are where I call home. In my brief time in Athens, I hope I have inspired someone to chase his dreams, to work a little harder or dream a little bigger. If my example has reached just one person and encouraged him to be better, I have accomplished so much more than I deserve.
Thank you all. God Bless and Go Dawgs!
