About a year ago, the Georgia blog About Them Dawgs did an article on the five black players who broke the color line at UGA. In it, they discussed the story of James Hurley who walked on the football team in the late 1960s. At some point, Hurley dropped out at Georgia and then went to Vanderbilt where he may have played on the Commodores football team as early as 1970.

I've outlined what I know in a post today over at Team Speed Kills. I could use some help nailing down the particulars of this for a research project I am working on. I need to know when Hurley may have walked on then been granted a scholarship. If he actually made it onto the field in 1970, Hurley could be the player who deserves credit for integrating Vandy football.

What on earth is this junk? The NCAA women's gymnastics preliminaries are at the Gwinnett Center, and, when I click on the link for live scoring, I get . . . the Georgia Tech athletics site?!?! Do the Yellow Jackets even have women's gymnastics?

By the way, I'm sure it's purely coincidental that the "Team Results" column on the right-hand side has the alphabetization of the contestants rearranged so the last two are listed first, thereby bumping the University of Georgia to the bottom.

Go 'Dawgs!

This is pretty funny!

Man, I could just sit here and watch this all day.

Oh, and go vote for this gif over at the mothership. Kyle would want you to do it, because Kyle hates Auburn.

Georgia Bulldog Wrap I got for my car!

Will this be the first time the SEC has a team that loses the NC game?

The caption with this tweet is, "Merry Christmas ladies."

Aaron... what are you doing, son? What are you doing?

Did nobody have a talk with you after that "wearing a purse" picture?

It just bothers me. I can't help it. Perhaps it's because I'm so pumped up about this game. But for whatever reason, I want a picture of this guy with concern on his face.

There have only been two real upsets in the SEC Championship Game. The last one was 2005.

Who played in that game again?

This is the backyard of former Georgia fullback Des Williams, who now owns a landscaping company. (The link to the full-size image is here.)

Nicely done, Sir Damn Good Dawg. Nicely done.
