Marl Richt: “Dream Team” or “Dream-On Team”?
Posted in College Football Recruiting 2011 on 07.01.11 by Merlyn
Coming off an 8-5 2009 season, Georgia football coach Mark Richt made the insinuation that the Class of 2011 recruits in the state of Geoergia might all come to UGA and be a “Dream Team”. Despite, Georgia going 6-7 in 2010, many of Georgia’s elite bought into the slogan.
Below are recruits from Georgia with a Rivals.com rating of 4-stars or higher (updated 2/7/11):
| POS | Name | School | Ht | Wt | Choice |
| DE | Ray Drew | Thomasville, Thomas County Central | 6’5″ | 243 | Georgia |
| RB | Isaiah Crowell | Columbus, Carver | 5’11″ | 210 | Georgia |
| DE | Stephon Tuitt | Monroe, | 6’5″ | 260 | Notre Dame |
| ATH | Damian Swann | Atlanta, Grady | 6’0″ | 175 | Georgia |
| TE | Jay Rome | Valdosta, Valdosta | 6’5″ | 255 | Georgia |
| DE | Xzavier Dickson | Griffin, Griffin | 6’3″ | 238 | Alabama |
| DT | LaMichael Fanning | Hamilton, Harris County | 6’6″ | 285 | Alabama |
| LB | Shannon Brown | Adel, Cook | 6’2″ | 225 | Alabama |
| ATH | Quan Bray | Lagrange, Troup | 5’11″ | 178 | Auburn |
| DT | Gabe Wright | Columbus, Carver | 6’3″ | 273 | Auburn |
| DB | Avery Walls | McDonough, Eagle’s Landing Christian | 5’11″ | 184 | California |
| WR | Justin Scott-Wesley | Camilla, Mitchell County | 6’1″ | 210 | Georgia |
| DB | Corey Moore | Griffin | 6’1″ | 195 | Georgia |
| DE | Sterling Bailey | Gainesville, East Hall | 6’5″ | 260 | Georgia |
| ATH | Nick Marshall | Rochelle, Wilcox County | 6’2″ | 185 | Georgia |
| DT | Chris Mayes | Griffin, Spalding | 6’5″ | 295 | Georgia |
| LB | Amarlo Herrera | College Park, North Clayton | 6’1″ | 224 | Georgia |
| LB | Jabari Hunt-Days | Powder Springs, Hillgrove | 6’2″ | 226 | Georgia Tech |
| LB | James Vaughters | Tucker | 6’2″ | 233 | Stanford |
| LB | A.J. Johnson | Gainesville | 6’3″ | 226 | Tennessee |
| DB | Justin Coleman | Brunswick | 5’11″ | 175 | Tennessee |
| DB | Malcolm Mitchell | Valdosta | 6’1″ | 187 | Georgia |
The Bulldogs ends up with eleven of the Top 22 players in the state of Georgia. Only time will tell if the “Dream” pans out.

Wake Me When It’s Over
Posted in NCAA College Football 2010, Uncategorized on 28.12.10 by Merlyn
Okay, how can you have a Military Bowl with no military teams in it? Oh well. Maryland (8-4) vs. East Carolina (6-6) Washington D.C. Dec. 29 2:30 p.m. ESPN zzzzzz…
Texas Bowl Wake me when it’s over. Illinois (6-6) vs. Baylor (7-5) Houston, Tex. Dec. 29 6 p.m. ESPN
Alamo Bowl Unlike the original Alamo, the Cowboys win this one big. Oklahoma State (10-2) vs. Arizona (7-5) San Antonio, Tex. Dec. 29 9:15 p.m. ESPN
Why is the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas? There is nothing about that city that makes me think of the Armed Forces. It seems to me they are preying on our patriotism. SMU (7-6) vs. Army (6-5) Dec. 30 Noon ESPN
Pinstripe Bowl Who thought outdoor sports in New York City in December was a good idea? Football at Yankee Stadium has been done. It was boring. So are these teams. Kansas St. (7-5) vs. Syracuse (7-5) Bronx, N.Y. Dec. 30 3:20pm ESPN
Music City Bowl North Carolina disappointed to be 7-5 vs. Tennessee thrilled to be 6-6. Nashville, Tenn. LP Field Dec. 30 6:40pm ESPN
Holiday Bowl Oh, come on now! Hasn’t Washington’s Jake Locker (6-6) suffered enough from his stupid decision to return for his senior year? Nebraska (10-3) romps. San Diego Qualcomm Stadium Dec. 30 10pm ESPN
After last week’s snoozefest of games, we finally got some exciting games.
In the SEC, Auburn wins at Alabama 28-27 to stay undefeated. Arkansas upsets LSU 31-23 to possibly sneak their way into the Sugar Bowl. UGA and Tennessee both win to become bowl eligible.
Going Bowling:
SEC will again send ten teams to bowl games. The Pac 10 currently has THREE teams bowl eligible. Oregon State would need a miracle win over #2 Oregon to get to 6 wins. Washington has to win at Washington State.
SEC – 10
ACC – 9
Big Ten – 8
Big XII – 8
Pac 10 – 3
To date, there are 35 bowls and 70 bowl eligible teams including such 6-win stalwarts as UTEP, Western Michigan, Florida International and Troy.
Army (Armed Forces), Navy (Poinsettia) and Air Force (tba) will all go bowling. Congratulations to our awesome military academies!
Teams that needed a home win to become bowl eligible and lost:
Texas A&M defeated Texas 24-17 in Austin. Sad.
All Louisiana-Monroe had to do was beat lowly La.-Lafayette (3-9). Laffers win 23-22.
Cal and shifty head coach Jeff Tedford lose in Berkeley to Washington (5-6) 16-13.
Now to the fun part: the HAHA awards.
Top HAHA this week goes to Boise who lost to Nevada 34-31. God bless the Wolfpack for exposing these imposters. You did not belong. Now go away.
Georgia Tech (6-6) fans got pretty cocky after beating UGA in 2008 and then winning the ACC in 2009. It’s been all downhill from there. The Jackets lost their second straight to a weak Georgia (6-6) team who was looking to become bowl eligible 42-34.
Miami loses to South Florida? At home? Pathetic.
Rich Rodriguez might be on his way out in Ann Arbor finishing 7-5 and losing yet again to Ohio State 37-7. This was the Buckeyes 7th straight win over Michigan.
Kansas finished 3-9 under coach Turner Gill. Professional loudmouth Charles Barkley called Auburn racist for not hiring Gill. I think things turned out okay for the Tigers.
Mixed feelings HAHA of the Week:
Despite three Notre Dame interceptions and a fumble, Lame Kiffin and his uninspired USC Trojans lost to the Irish in L.A. 20-16. Both teams finish 7-5.
Game of the WEAK:
Buffalo (2-10) feeling charitable, allowed Akron to get their first and only win of the season 22-14.
