Any idea who will make it to the game or is it still too early? I know Crowell and I think I heard Drew maybe? What about Rome and Mitchell?

Crowell, Deion Bonner, Artimas Samuel, and a few other Carver guys will be in Athens. Ray Drew will be their as well. Not sure on the Valdosta guys yet...a lot is going to depend on if they get knocked out of the playoffs this week or not...the night game definitely helps us out though (keep an eye on Bama as they will try to sway Rome and Mitchell to come up their for the AU game...the same thing they are trying to do with Crowell right now).

Yep... 7:45 with tv coverage on ESPN. Should be a great weekend for recruiting and hopefully getting bowl eligible... even if for no other good reason than the extra practices. If we win I certainly won't be holding my breath to see who we get paired up against. At 6-6 we would probably play some Conference USA team or something.

We don't have Pro Combat uniforms.

There's a rumor that we're gonna wear the black jersey's at the seniors' request, but then again when is there ever not a rumor about us wearing our black again?

Sac had a picture of what was apparently pro combat uni's for UGA.. but that is literally all I have heard about them.. I hope we wear black, actually, those jerseys need to regain their mojo. We can beat tech.

I think the black needs to be retired for awhile. Wearing them this year wouldn't be a very good idea IMO, just doesn't seem like the right season or the right time in general

just wear the classic read and hand GT a good old fashioned beatdown in front of a bunch of GREAT recruits and fans ready to see us beat up on someone decent again.

i know it was reported we did from the rivals site by the guys who run it, but they were incorrect.

They defintely have not earned it, I just assume since they apparently had some made for them that nike would expect us to use them at some point during the season.

i take it back. this team has earned their black jerseys if they want it. this isn't for fake juice btw.. this is something the team wants to do for our seniors and i have zero issues with it. i saw this post from someone who helps run the rival's site in a response saying they don't deserve it:

Just off the top of my head- Reply

Mat drills

buckets of sweat

lost lots of blood

season ending injuries

career ending injuries

5 AM practices

countless hours in the weightroom

torn tendons

torn ligaments

miles of bruises

loads of xrays

concussions

In other words lots of self-sacrifice. Did the season go the way they planned? No. Did they give effort? Yes. And if one or two guys did not, do you not allow the other 20 to wear a certain color jersey that has absolutely no effect on the outcome of the game? It is part of their uniform, not some giant reward.

And yes I know they are getting scholarships. But a lot of them are not and those guys will be able to dress versus Tech. Does getting the scholarship mean they cant decide what color jersey they want to wear? Should that be taken away from them because the season was bad?

Besides, according to most here it is the coaches who are at fault, so why should the players suffer for the ineptitude of the coaches? And if it the players fault the season was bad as others say, well who has the right to tell Murray or Houston that they can't wear a black jersey? There are some guys on the team that have played lights out, like senior Akeem Dent.

I guess my point is that some folks see it as being a reward for a great season. I think that is a flawed arrangement. It is a shirt. Big deal.

You nor I have any skin in the game. So "we" wont be laughed at. And if "we" were it would be because losing would put them at 5-7, not because they wore a black top.

yes we do. what i showed you was our nike pro combat jerseys. that was from uga.. that was not made up or false..

I agree with you 100%, Sac, about rewarding the players. Very nice post and my sentiments exactly.

About the uniforms though, I can't say with 100% certainty that UGA does not have Pro Combat uniforms in their possession. But I'm a Photoshop guy and I will say with 99% certainty that the UGA Pro Combat photo being passed around is a Photoshop job. It came from the older FSU Pro Combat release. This is the where that photo originated:

I think it'd be fun if we had something new in storage, but if so I really don't think it's the photo we've seen.
