Junior College Offensive Lineman Mark Beard Officially Signs with Georgia
Beard, an Alabama native, will enroll at the University of Georgia in January with three years of collegiate eligibility remaining.
The first bale of hay is in the barn. With any luck, this will pave the way for the inking of "Dream Team II" in February. Welcome, Mark!

I asked for O Line JUCOs and got JUCOs. I love it.
We got guys coming in Jan, and as I understand it, they count against last years scholies, of which I think we were a few short. This is good, good stuff.

Yep.
Experienced, yet with three years of eligibility, and he’ll be here for the spring. Good news, all the way around.

By the way, . . .
. . . since Beard weighs 290 pounds, I would hasten to add that “all the way around” was not an insult.

Hopefully after a full off-season with CJT
that 290 will become a quick and lean 310-315???
I HATE ORANGE, and DGNBs
After watching what Boise State can do with undersized linemen,
I’m not going to complain about 290. Just as long as he can block.

We were 3 under the limit last year
and have 3 EEs this year that will fill out last year’s class: Beard, Marshall and Bauta.
Coaching staff did a good job managing that.

So...
What exact position would Beard play on the OLine? Left Tackle? My first thought was that he’d be a starter at left tackle.

I am so excited to get these two JUCO linemen.
I swear I have Jedi powers on CMR. Except that Bobo thing. I was screaming for an NFL DC. I was screaming this year for some JUCO O Linemen.
I can’t explain that Bobo thing, CMR must like toying with me.
I would love to work on this staff in any role. 2012 is going to be a lot of fun. Getting in guys in Jan is huge. Competition at QB and RB. Dream Team I has a full year of S&C. I sure hope we kill State.

Like the Yale Coach, Bumpas has to have a few mistakes on his resume to be considered. NOT IMPRESSED by his defense

I can’t imagine anyone else roaming our sideline than Grantham. And Bumpas is still a great name. It should be Orson Charles’ last name.

Agreed on all counts.
Back in the day, David Letterman did a top ten list that enumerated the “top ten body parts or Van Pattens.” It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what No. 1 was.
When we were clamoring for the Georgia D to become the “Bumpas Hounds,” I began drafting a similar list made up of the “top ten sexual positions or Georgia defensive coordinators.”

Two things:
1. Derek Dooley is watching this game and thinking, “I’ve made a huge mistake.”

I say this several times a year ever year, but someday they have got to put a transponder in the dang ball and a receiver unit down the goal line.

It's like you're inside my head.
I’ve always wondered (and sort of assumed) that they could do this if they wanted.
One in each nose of the ball not only helps with spotting the ball but can help you track the 3 dimensional position of the entire ball via computer. But I’m not the scientist. Plus I don’t think you can convince enough purists to do this.
Unfortunately, there are always people who think getting the call wrong is part of the game. If you can get it right, do it. The only reason wrong calls are a part of football lore is because they didn’t have the technology to correct it.

I've joked for years about exactly that.
Except, in my mind, there should also be fireworks in the pylons that shoot off whenever the ball crosses the goal line (knowing full and well that the ball cross the goal line for plays that don’t deserve fireworks much more often than for the plays that do).
This would be especially amusing on knockoffs for touchbacks and every incomplete pass in the endzone.

'benefit of the doubt' is the generous way of saying it.
