A couple of quick reads, but first, I want to point out a great interview that David Ching (and others) had with Coach Mark Richt. There were quite a few interesting points, and I would like to highlight a few:

  • There’s a lot about the Richt family’s mission trip to Honduras. Coach admits to not being the greatest goalie, and he wants to take some of the players back next summer.
  • He talks about the incremental transitioning of Coach Bobo into play-caller and offensive coordinator.
  • The big news, the 2002 preseason camp was the craziest. Lots of people wanted to quit the team, including David Pollack, who ended up in Richt’s office crying one day. Luckily, most (if not all) finished the drill.
  • Coach likes night games more.
  • Lastly, Richt thinks that if the NCAA wants to limit game time (and prevent many injuries) they should not have kickoffs and start play somewhere around the 25-yard line. He notes that Boss Bailey, Reggie Brown, Thomas Brown, DeCory Bryant were all injured on kickoffs.

And for the other highlights today…

  • The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ranked Uga as the most lovable college mascot.
  • Georgia ended up 12th in the Director’s Cup standings.
