There’s a reason why DavetheDawg beat me to the punch: I just tried to have a pleasant Sunday at home, spent minding my own business, mowing the back yard, and tracking the Georgia baseball game, so I was a little late to the party where this was concerned:

University of Georgia redshirt freshman quarterback Zach Mettenberger has been dismissed from the Bulldog football team according to a Sunday announcement by UGA head coach Mark Richt.

According to Richt, the dismissal is a result of violation of team rules.

David Hale is working on getting the details, but, in the meantime, please feel free to whack me upside the head with a two-by-four the next time I start asking questions like this. Clearly, there is no good news in Bulldog Nation; any news that initially appears less than awful is a mere prelude to news that is absolutely disastrous.

Aaron Murray, welcome to the big time, my friend.

Go ‘Dawgs!
