Though Saturday’s G-Day game marked the first day new tailgating restrictions were in effect, some members of the University community still aren’t ready to accept the changes.
Danny Brown, a University alumnus, has decided to take matters into his own hands and create a Facebook group called “Michael Adams Extravaganza (Myers Quad)” to encourage fans to bring all banned items — such as tents, kegs, televisions and grills — from North Campus to Myers Quad.
The group has more than 1,200 fans, and Brown said he created it as an open forum for people to express their frustrations with the new tailgating stipulations.
“I just feel like the administration needs to be a little more understanding that there will be trash, and that there are some alter-natives they could have considered other than just going ahead and pretty much ban-ning tailgating altogether on North Campus,” Brown said.
He said North Campus is important to him and others who have been tailgating there for years because it’s one of the pretti-est and most historic places at the University.
“It’s the atmosphere up there,” Brown
said. “When you think of tailgating, you think of having a tent up there and enjoying the time with your friends.”
The tailgating restrictions were

▲ Josh Delaney, sGA’s president-elect, and Maddy Adler, the association’s next treasurer, react to news of their campaign victory Friday.
By PAIGE VARNERThe Red & Black
Members of The Snapshot hud-dled with arms around each other’s shoulders as Student Government Association Attorney General Sean Cranshaw announced the group beat the Green Team to take the 2010 election.
Then, the party members leaped, shouting and chanting, “Snapshot! Snapshot!”
“This is a really surreal moment right now,” the next SGA president, Josh Delaney, said. “I’m grateful for students believing in me. I’m excited students voted. I commend Cameron Secord for a really strong race. I’m excited to get started.”
And his party, which also won 24
out of 38 Senate seats, will get start-ed April 27 at SGA’s inauguration.
The Snapshot won with 51.89 per-cent, or 2,923, of the 5,633 votes cast for executive tickets.
Eighteen percent of the student body, or 5,920 students, voted in some aspect of the election — almost 1,400 fewer than voted in last year’s election.
Cameron Secord, the opposing party’s presidential candidate, said he felt all right after the announcement.
“I want to thank everyone who devoted time, energy and resources,” he said. “I’m thankful for the chance to stand behind what we believed in from the beginning.”
Six Senate seats — three for the Graduate School, and one each for the School of Law, College of
Veterinary Medicine and College of Public Health — will have to be filled following the first Senate meeting.
The vote of confidence passed 4,445 votes to 364 votes, or with 92.43 percent of the votes, to allow SGA to continue being a student organiza-tion.
“I’m excited that referendum passed by such flying colors,” said Maddy Adler, SGA’s treasurer-elect, who called her mother after hearing the news her party had won.
Katie Barlow, who will be the SGA president for only a couple more weeks, said she is happy with what her administration was able to do in its year of service.
“There’s a lot of stuff left to do,”

Students call for return of tailgating on North Campus
Gym Dogs fail to advance to Nationals
By MIChAEL FITZPATRICkThe Red & Black
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Competing in the NCAA Championships was a foregone conclu-sion for the Gym Dogs.
The team always spoke of gearing up for Nationals with the hope of extending its already unprecedented reign over women’s gymnastics to six years in a row.
But, after its third place finish at the Columbia Regionals in Columbia, Mo., Saturday, No. 5 Georgia will return home to Athens won-dering how their season went terribly wrong.
The 2010 season marks the first time in 27 years Georgia didn’t qualify for the NCAA Championships and the first time that it will not reach the Super-6, which was created in 1993.
“We didn’t even think it was a possibility [to not make Nationals],” freshman Christa Tanella said.
The cruel ironies are almost sickening.Georgia’s season depended on the beam
routine of senior Courtney McCool. It needed a 9.925 or better to avoid a tie with No. 8 Oregon State, who held the tiebreaker. This situation was not new for the Lee’s Summit, Mo., native, who had more than 20 friends and family mem-bers in the crowd, with many wearing “McCool and the Gang” T-shirts.
She won the opening meet of the season against Stanford on Jan. 9 on the final routine as well as the March 6 victory over UCLA.
Not on this day, however. McCool — who had fallen on the uneven bars for only the sec-ond time all season — fell 0.025 short of the mark needed for victory, and it was her fall that lost the meet for the Gym Dogs.

Black team posts win over red in G-Day game
By RAChEL G. BOWERsThe Red & Black
Zach Mettenberger suited up for his first showcase in front of fans Saturday for the G-Day game — Georgia’s intrasquad spring scrim-mage.
He sported his black quar-terback jersey and new shag-gy hair under his red helmet as he stepped on the field for the black team, who donned white jerseys.
The redshirt freshman threw for a game-high two touchdowns — one to wide receiver Rhett McGowan and the other to tight end Arthur Lynch — in the black team’s 17-7 win over the red team.
Mobile quarterback Logan Gray started with the red team but took reps with both sides, racking up 132 yards on 10-of-17 through the air and one touchdown to wide

successfully applied on G-Day, but Brown said the new rules may be less effec-tive on a regular football game day.
“I don’t think G-Day was ever comparable, from a tailgating perspective, to a normal game day,” Brown said. “I think it’s a little more tame and there isn’t quite the crowd, so obvi-ously [the restrictions] will have a huge effect on nor-mal game days.”
Brown said that rather than limiting tailgating, the administration could have considered other ways to solve problems such as trash.
“With the amount of money that alumni and students spend on game day, I think that the
Athletic Association and the administration have plenty of funds to institute better trash pickup on North Campus,” Brown said.
But Dexter Adams, director of grounds for the Physical Plant, said the restrictions are appropri-ate when considering the level of damage on North Campus for the last few years.
“It goes beyond just picking up the trash,” Adams said. “We were see-ing actual physical damage to the grounds and dam-age that we couldn’t fix, like tree loss.”
Students are also pro-testing the restrictions through representation. Josh Delaney, president-elect of the Student Government Association,
said there was no student input during the decision, but the administration agreed to allow a student representative on the panel when restrictions are reviewed.
“Our biggest problem is that there was no student voice in the making of the decision,” Delaney said. “We want every decision to be justified to students.”
Brown’s Facebook group encourages fans to move to areas such as the Myers Quad, but Delaney said this move could potentially have even more detrimen-tal effects.
“Since people won’t be able to tailgate like they used to on North Campus, they will move to residen-tial areas like the Myers Quad,” he said. “We really don’t want those students
in residential areas to be facing trash problems.”
Adams said he doesn’t know exactly where people will move, but they will have to find new areas to tailgate.
“Some people are going to tailgate in parking lots, and others will stay down-town,” Adams said. “I think there will be a variety of arrangements made, but at least we’re protecting the historic grounds of the old-est state university in the country.”
Adams said North Campus will transition from a wild tailgating area to a much more tame part of campus.
“There is no malice on anyone’s part, but that kind of crush on those his-toric grounds was causing damage that I don’t think any of the fans would want to see,” Adams said. “I think the idea is that we relieve some of the pres-sure on those grounds, and all those people can still enjoy North Campus, but that it can be a more park-like atmosphere.”
Some students, howev-er, plan to continue fight-ing to have their voices heard, whether through Facebook groups or repre-sentation in student gov-ernment.
“I just want the admin-istration to fully realize that game day is a tradi-tion,” Delaney said. “It’s not just an alum thing — it’s a student thing, and students want to be includ-ed. This is something that affects the students heavi-ly, and we need to consult the people who live on this campus.”

Some homes in Athens received an extreme makeover this weekend — but it wasn’t Ty Pennington leading the effort. The credit goes to the dozens of students from University organi-zations who joined other volun-teers to make a difference in the community.
In a weekend-long project, Hands-On Athens teamed up with University groups, such as Habitat for Humanity and the American Society of Interior Designers, to repair and upgrade historic homes in Athens.
The Hands-On Athens proj-ect, which lasted from Friday to Sunday, restored 14 homes locat-ed in historic neighborhoods in Athens. The volunteers painted, re-tiled floors, improved land-scaping and repaired the roofs and porches of the homes.
“There are dramatic things wrong with these houses,” said Grant Perry, vice president of projects for the University chap-ter of Habitat for Humanity.
This was Habitat’s first year participating in the project. The organization focused its atten-tion on one home in desperate need of repair. With a construc-tion manager and volunteers sharing their expertise, Habitat mended the roof of the home, which bore structural damage.
Also contributing time and labor were the University chap-ter of the American Society of Interior Designers and Emerging Green Builders. Together, these organizations sponsored two homes by donating $500 and pro-viding the work force. Among the improvements were painting, cleaning, rebuilding cabinetry and replacing sheetrock. They also expanded the dining room in one home by removing walls.
Anna Claire Davis, the presi-dent-elect of the American Society of Interior Designers, said she wanted to be involved with the project because she knew interior design students would be interested.
“We’ve had a huge response from volunteers,” Davis said.
Athens’ Bona Fide
Construction and Renovation Company also contributed to the project. The company provided labor at five homes for three days at no charge. The idea for Hands-On Athens developed in 1999, and in spring of 2000, it held its first project. Starting with a mod-
est three homes, the organiza-tion has gradually increased its numbers since. Last year, Hands-On repaired 12 homes, and now in its 11th year, the number has risen to 14.
John Kissane, the part-time administrator of Hands-On
Athens, said last year there was an estimated $100,000 worth of volunteer labor. He said he isn’t certain about this year’s num-bers, though.
“It is a lot of work to do in one weekend, but it’s amazing how it all turns out,” Kissane said.

Driver leaves fraternity party, gets in wreck
University student Jonathan Charles Colby, 20, was arrested and charged with DUI, under-age possession of alcohol and improper braking after he was involved in a car accident at 1:21 a.m. on April 10, according to the Athens-Clarke County Police report.
When police responded to the accident, they questioned the drivers to see what happened.
Because the arresting officer noticed an odor of alcohol coming from Colby’s breath, he asked him if he had been drink-ing. Colby repeatedly said no, according to the report.
When asked where he had been prior to the accident, Colby told police “he had been at a social at the KA house.”
When the arresting officer told Colby he smelled alcohol, he reportedly admitted to drinking beer around 8 p.m. Colby then provided a breath sample which registered a .161 BAC.
During their investiga-tion into the accident, police also spoke with the other driver involved.
This driver told police Colby was reluctant to provide his information after the accident. When the driver asked for insur-ance documents, Colby reportedly said he needed to go to his house to get his license and insurance information.
Because the other driver felt he would not be able to get Colby’s information without legal assistance, he decided to call police.
Colby was subsequent-ly placed under arrest and transported to Clarke County Jail.
Next round is on me
If you charge your bar tab to someone else’s credit card, you just might find yourself behind bars facing a charge of your own.
University student Harry Ryan Brodmann, 22, was arrested and charged with credit card fraud at 1:25 a.m. on April 10.
He was arrested after attempting to open a tab
at Boars Head bar with a Visa card under the name of “T Blake Skipper,” according to the Athens-Clarke County Police report. After ordering $80 worth of drinks for him-self and his friends, employees asked to see an ID to verify the card was his.
When Brodmann told Boars Head employees he didn’t have any ID and that he would just pay with cash, they decided to call police.
According to the report, Brodmann initial-ly told police he never attempted to use a credit card. He later told police he had handed the bar-tender a different card.
Boars Head manage-ment told police they wished to press charges, and Brodmann was placed under arrest and transported to Clarke County Jail.
On Sunday, University student Timothy Blake Skipper told The Red & Black the card Brodmann attempted to use belonged to him.
“I just spoke to police,” Skipper said. “I think I just dropped it downtown and some other guy picked it up. I don’t know to what extent he was able to use my card, but I hope it was pretty mini-mal. I’m just glad they checked his ID.”
Purse snatcher
University student, Bridget Elisabeth Svenson, 20, fell victim to a purse snatching at 1:30 a.m. on April 9, according to an Athens-Clarke County Police report.
When police responded to the scene, Svenson told them that a male forcibly took her purse as she left a fraternity party at the intersection of Broad Street and Lumpkin Street.
While on the sidewalk next to Milledge, the male approached Svenson from the right and took her purse off her shoulder without saying anything, according to the police report.

You don’t have to go all the way to Thailand to see fancy fruit carvings.
Students walking down College Avenue during the International Street Festival Saturday could see them in Athens.
A few hours before Saturday’s G-Day scrimmage game started, several University students and volunteers worked together to set up the stage for the 12th Annual International Street Festival — an event they hoped would showcase the variety of international organizations found at the school.
The shindig started at noon and continued through the late afternoon as passersby looked at displays, observed performances and listened to music.
Thirty-one international stu-dent groups had street displays put together for those walking through downtown.
Tables included information about the specific groups, along with ways to get involved with those groups on campus.
A few of the participating organizations included the African Student Union, Asha-UGA, Association of Chinese Professionals, Athens for Justice in Palestine, Hands on Haiti UGA and the Persian Student
Association. At the corner of Broad Street
and College Avenue, different scheduled performances rotated on and off the stage. The Offbeat Cloggers from DanceFX studios performed shortly after the festi-val began, and close to 2 p.m. a Japanese group performed a tra-ditional fisherman’s dance. Troupe Azhar, a belly dancing group showing moves from the Middle East, also performed later in the afternoon.
Students from the various organizations do all of their own fundraising.
Leigh Poole, associate direc-tor for Intercultural Affairs and director of International Student Life, said she was very excited about the event’s turnout. She said she thought the event drew a great crowd of participants.
“The point of this was to cre-ate an event that would bring the world to Athens,” Poole said. “It’s the community coming together with acts from all around the world. Students tell us all the time everybody’s inter-national.”
Poole said the event takes a year to plan. She’s already look-ing forward to next year’s event and considering tentative dates for the festival.
Avani Patel, a sophomore from Stockbridge majoring in interna-tional affairs and anthropology, is one of the many students who
spent a lot of time preparing for the festival.
“It’s to promote how we’re not that different from everyone,” Patel said. “Yeah, we’re going to show what they do differently culture-wise, but at the end of the day we’re all just people.”
Patel spent her time at the children’s corner where volun-teers offered face painting to the kids milling around the different international tables.
“The festival promotes the whole international life at UGA,”
Patel said. “They’re not that rec-ognized as other groups are, but we do have a very large interna-tional population in the commu-nity as well as on campus.”
Rachel Raven, a sophomore from Roswell majoring in crimi-nal justice, is with the International Association of Students in Economic and Consumer Sciences.
“AIESEC’s amazing because we’re in so many countries,” Raven said. “We get to see where everybody’s been and where
they’re going, how we can get them where they want to go.”
Foram Ashar, a senior major-ing in biotechnology, is with Asha-UGA, an action group for basic education in India. Ashar stood at a table with markers and crayons, asking children to come up with a drawing of what they think India looks like.
“I think the festival’s great. We come every year,” Ashar said. “It shows all the different people liv-ing here together, and there are great performances.”

she said. “I will still work on keeping open lines of communication with [the Snapshot party]. It’s still going to be a rough time with the budget cuts. But I think there’s a pretty solid founda-tion.”
The SGA transition period begins Tuesday, which means Delaney’s ticket and Barlow’s admin-istration will discuss unresolved issues. Topping that list are issues Barlow and her administration have spent their tenure working toward, such as reforming the minimum sanctions policy and get-ting rid of C-minus grades.
Delaney will also meet with Jere Morehead, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, which Delaney said he hopes will turn into a monthly meeting. Delaney said they will discuss how Delaney’s team can enact its plat-form initiatives.
“We’ll be exploring the best time table as relat-ed to his time table,” he said. “He made it very
clear that he’s looking very forward to working with us to make the University of Georgia a better place.”
Delaney said the first platform initiative he will work on is creating at-large Senate seats for stu-dent organizations.
This promise was one of Delaney’s top cam-paign issues, and creating the seats will move SGA closer to becoming a “snapshot” of those on the University’s campus.
“Before summer starts, I want to get reform up and running,” he said.
Delaney said even though some Green Team senators won seats in SGA, he doesn’t expect any difficulty as the two parties come together.
The Snapshot and the Green Team are no more, he said. Those who were elected, no matter the party they ran with, are simply “SGA” now.
All elected officers will meet Friday for an SGA retreat to discuss the coming year, Delaney said. He plans to choose the year’s executive and judi-cial officers by the time of the retreat.
SGA: More Senate seats first priority

I write in response to the April 9 letter to the editor by John Wiles Jr. (“Politicians should work in real world before run-ning”), which attacked Russell Edwards and his campaign for Congress.
Mr. Wiles said that Mr. Edwards is unqualified to run for Congress because he does not have signifi-cant private sector experi-ence. I disagree. By this reasoning, large segments of our population would be unqualified to run for office, including the fine men and women of our Armed Forces, police offi-cers and firefighters — all public sector employees.
Furthermore, Mr. Wiles insinuates that the United States was founded as a for-profit corporation and should be run as such.
This country is not a business. It is a country that was founded with a belief that the freedoms, health and education of its citizens are paramount, and that we should strive to reach higher in these areas. Profit-making is but one important goal in this process.
Lastly, Mr. Wiles’ letter mocks Mr. Edwards for being an “idealist.” Since when is being an ideal-ist, in terms of being an optimist, a bad thing? As I recall, several idealists founded this great nation.

Denying gay rightsnot compassion
I really appreciate Kate Parham’s April 8 piece, “Image of heartless conser-vatives false.” As a history major, I commend Ms. Parham’s impressive use of data to justify her argu-ments.
However, I feel that it is necessary to point out some flaws in her party’s belief system, for generaliz-ing conservatives as “com-passionate” is incorrect.
Though Ms. Parham’s data about charitable con-tributions may be true, this action does not make a conservative person any more “compassion-ate” than a liberal. In my opinion, denying certain groups — like those in the gay community — basic rights is the exact opposite of compassion.
These citizens pay their taxes, serve in our military and, ironically, some are members of the Republican Party. However, time and time again they are denied basic rights that American citi-zens like you and I enjoy.
Yes, conservatives may donate more to chari-ties, but true “compas-sion” includes “loving thy neighbor” and does not demote an entire class of Americans to a lesser form of citizenship.

If you, like me, have spent years writing papers and doing class projects, you have built an
exhaustive caché of work stored neatly on your hard drive.
This gives us all the more rea-son to envy students in the Lamar Dodd School of Art who create beautiful showpieces, rather than book-length theses.
Unfortunately, my envy turned to pity this month when 130 student pieces were stolen from the Lamar Dodd School of Art (“Student art vanishes overnight,” April 1.)
Art major Abby Zylla told The Red & Black that some of her friends had planned to use their work in their portfolios.
Now their chances of admission to graduate programs and job pros-pects are compromised because their best work vanished.
This made me think of the importance of building a proper résumé and portfolio for future job hunts. Most of us are lucky. Our work exists on hard drives and in cyberspace. It has left a digital footprint that can never completely be erased. But we still have to take measures to protect our work.
Everything you create is copy-righted. Tests, papers, Facebook messages — all protected should a thief try to claim your thesis on video gaming culture for himself. I won’t bore you with lofty legalese. Just know this: once it’s on paper (or hard drive or Web page), it is yours.
“People are happy to publish you, as long as you have been published,” Pulitzer Prize winner Deborah Blum said Wednesday at a talk in the Grady College. Students in all fields face this dilemma, and it only gets worse after graduation. Every employer wants to hire some-one with experience.
What makes a strong job can-
didate varies among disciplines, and there is plenty of professional advice at Clark Howell Hall and elsewhere. But I have learned a few clues in my five years at UGA as well.
First, familiarize yourself with the job market you want to some-day enter — the earlier, the better. Talk to industry professionals and browse job listings to find out what will be required of you when you enter the “real world.”
Next, take advantage of oppor-tunities at UGA to prepare. Join pre-professional groups and go to speaking engagements given by people in your field.
Finally — and this is one I came up with on my own — pad your résumé and portfolio with the work you do in class. Once used as a taunt from underachievers, “boost-ing your résumé” is now a survival skill.
As a journalism undergrad, I built what I thought was a pretty strong portfolio throughout my years in Grady. I wrote for Athens Exchange, a local online news source. I landed a prime editorial
internship at an Athens lifestyle magazine, Southern Distinction. I submitted lots of angry letters to The Red & Black.
Despite these opportunities, some of the best things I wrote were class assignments. I posted them to blogs, and even though they were not technically “pub-lished,” they were graded, and they showcased what I could do given the opportunity to write for publi-cation. They appeared right along with my clips in that red leather-bound portfolio.
We put in at least four years of hard work in college. And though we would all like to forget some of the things we turned in as fresh-men, most of us are proud of at least one class creation.
Internships are hard to come by, but that doesn’t mean that col-lege students are unproductive. We all have something to stick on the fridge or, in many graduating seniors’ cases, in a future employ-er’s hand. Wrote a great business plan for a management class? Developed a successful campaign in public relations? These things are proof that we college students don’t spend four or more years spinning our wheels.
Practical experience is a cherry on top of the great résumé you will already have when you leave here — a degree from UGA is no small feat. That is why there is noth-ing impractical about your college experience. Boost that résumé with relevant coursework, spice up your portfolio with class projects and use professors as references. You’re putting in four years of job training before you even land the job.

The recent Nike commercial, featuring a stoic black-and-white Tiger Woods listen-
ing to a few strong words from his late father, Earl Woods, has struck major controversy.
“I want to find out what your thinking was; I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?” a recording of Earl Woods says to his son. It was, and still is, well known that Woods and his father were extremely close.
Paul Doyle, of the Hartford (Conn.) Courant, for example, described it as, “awkward, creepy, inappropriate, callous, shameless, cynical and wrong” on a forum for the Los Angeles Times online.
Doyle also brazenly claimed, “Apparently, he’ll do anything to reward the sponsor that stuck with him.” Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I think it took a lot of guts for Woods to do this commercial. Knowing what he has done, and to hear those words from his father — whom he respected very deeply — is obviously no walk in the park.
So how, may I be so bold to ask, is this shameless? If this straight-faced broken man displays any character trait, it’s humility.
Yes, what Woods did was dis-gusting, deceitful, hurtful and just plain wrong. But he has
admitted he has a problem, and he has made copious effort to show how he is the first person to admit that he was wrong and dishonest.
The commercial does end with the signature Nike swoop, so it’s obvious that his sole sponsor want-ed him to do this, but that doesn’t mean this was easy for Woods.
And sure, Woods did it for “the sponsor that stuck with him,” but he could have said no.
It’s not like Nike is going to drop
him now, and even if it threatened to, I don’t think Woods would stoop so low as to use his dead father as means to keep a sponsor. And he didn’t want to say no.
There are comments that he did it for sympathy and that the com-mercial was cynical.
Trust me, Tiger Woods does not want your sympathy. He feels bad enough already. He just wants his fans to know that he is not, and never will be, in solace with what he has done. As for Doyle’s labeling the commercial as “inappropriate,” I’m definitely going to have to take the opposite stand.
Showing how deeply sorry you are for a horrid mistake is always appropriate. Vanity Fair maga-zine doing a sexy photo shoot of Woods’s mistresses? Now that’s inappropriate.
As an individual who has lost her father, who can thus relate to Woods, I would never, ever want to hear my father’s voice in such a manner, relating it to something I know he would be incredibly ashamed of.
That is something no child wants to hear from his dead father.

The end is near. You’ve seen the signs, you’ve
been invited to the cel-ebrations, you’ve cried about it with friends. I’m talking about graduation, of course.
We’ve spent the last four (or five or six) years toiling away for the ulti-mate prize: a degree from the esteemed UGA. After all the hard work and stress, I find it shock-ing that some students are choosing to forgo the University-wide com-mencement ceremony in Sanford Stadium.
Some say it’s a waste of time. Taking two hours of your busy Saturday to par-ticipate in a time-honored ritual is a waste?
After the 121 credit hours it took to get the degree in the first place, it hardly seems like an incon-venience.
Some say it’s a waste of money. Yes, custom-made announcements and diploma frames and class rings and commemorative plaques can cost a pretty penny, but none of those items are necessary for graduation participation.
The only requirement is academic regalia, and cap, gown and tassel costs a little more than $30. That’s a mere pittance compared to the thousands spent on textbooks over the years.
Some say it will be bor-ing.
UGA is lucky enough to be able to book well-known public figures to deliver the commence-ment speech, and this year doesn’t disappoint.
Though some may not have heard of this year’s speaker, Alton Brown, everyone knows what Food Network is and I think a television personality will deliver a much more entertaining and relevant speech than a stuffy politi-
cian. Some say it doesn’t
matter. Try telling that to your
mother, who was there every time you called freshman year sobbing about how much you missed home. Tell that to your father, who has always let you borrow money even if you didn’t deserve it. Tell that to Gram and Gramps who bought you a car or footed your tuition bill.
It surely matters to them, and allowing them to witness your official end to childhood and your first step into adulthood is the least you can do to repay them for their support during your college years.
I am extremely excited about the graduation cere-mony. I remember my first sight of Sanford Stadium on a school tour. Our guide mentioned that the only time most students are given a chance to be “between the hedges” was turning our tassels at spring graduation, and I’ve been excited about it ever since. Call me dorky and overly-sentimental, but after four football seasons, how does that not sound cool?
So if you are thinking about skipping graduation, I implore you to recon-sider. It is an incredible opportunity to honor the time we’ve spent at UGA and to celebrate with fam-ily and friends who have supported us along the way.

“Swaggeriffic” by Son 1
With a cocked hat, horn-rimmed glasses and a vocabulary that would make your grandmother shiver, Athens’ own Son 1 has stepped into the limelight most recently occupied by Jay-Z and Linkin Park — creating spit-in-your-face hip-hop with a touch of electric guitar.
Curtison Jones, better known as Son 1, is doing what many bands and artists loathe — putting his music (literally) into the hands of would-be lis-teners, free of charge.
The hip-hopper was recently outside Tate handing out his new CD, “Swaggeriffic: The Mix Tape,” no strings attached.
Sound systems every-where better start cele-brating.
To put it simply, there is no key word or defining mood to the album — it’s raw, honest, explicit and real.
Each track builds a new anthem of sorts, breaking down the barri-ers between rap legends and rock galore.
Electric guitar slices through the beats, which dance from melodic highs to car-rattling lows.
Though Lil Wayne turned rocker with his album “Rebirth,” “Swaggeriffic” could not be farther from this. Yes, the album incorporates rap and rock, but it plays as a hip-hop album.
The standout track is indeed “Get It In” featur-ing Snipa. Reminiscent of
Lil Wayne, the melody is fresh and the music is actually complex — some-thing that is much need-ed on the airwaves. Grab a beverage and put the track on repeat.
The single “Cool” immediately calls atten-tion to the elephant in the room — “I’m cool, I know you like my style, black boy with a little rock’n’roll sound.”
Rapping over multiple layers of electric guitar, the song embodies the image of Son 1 in terms of hip-hop and rock. Think “Numb vs. Encore” by Jay-Z and Linkin Park.
“Layin Pipe” borrows the music of Kid Cudi’s “Day and Night,” though that is where the similari-ties end. With this song, it’s important to zoom in on the little black and white sticker on the front cover. Fans of DC Talk might want to press next.
A popular trend is to make an album front- heavy, putting the best songs at the beginning (“Hot Fuss” by The Killers), but Son 1’s music is just as loud, crude and outspoken on the last track as the first.
Going out with a bang, “The Day The Music Died” brings into play the popular “Smoke on the Water” guitar riff, while proclaiming “hip-hop is dead, ‘cause I murdered it.
“I like my meat fresh, but these rappers looking old. Since they ain’t hot, guess my dinners gonna be cold.”
Verdict: “Swaggeriffic” flawlessly meshes two genres that regularly compete for MTV playing time. The electric guitar and drums are a fresh approach, and they take away nothing from the over all hip-hop feel. It is still a rap album. It’s a must-have addition to any music lover’s iTunes.
— Joe Williams
listen up!
From its very first moment, “Spunk” proves to be a light-fin-gered, doggedly winning little charm of a play.
An enchantingly bare-bones, deli-ciously bluesy series of tales-told-‘round-the-campfire,’ George C. Wolfe’s musical play is most enjoy-able by the sheer droll volubility of its telling. This is a play for those who like stories; and, more, for those who love having stories told to them.
It begins with the teller: Blues Speak Woman (Tressa Preston) and her guitar-playing accompaniment, Guitar Man (Andy Erickson).
Narrating, dictating, occasionally interrupting and spontaneously flirt-ing throughout, the pair lay out a trio of stories about men, women and the good and bad they do to one another: “Sweat,” which traces the long-lasting, and long-suffering, mar-riage between Delia (Antonia McCain) and Sykes (Lynwoodt Benard); “Story in Harlem Slang,” a street-corner vignette of male inse-curity; and “The Gilded Six-Bits,” about the young and early-in-love Missie May (Carole Kaboya) and Joe Banks (Mario Haynes).
Originally written by Zora Neale Hurston, Wolfe has re-strung the narratives into a trifecta of dark-to-
light, beginning with drama, and ending with happy. In reorganizing, he’s also kept the integrity of Hurston’s prose, allowing characters more exposition than dialogue and more comment than conversation.
Yet, as undergirded by Chic Street Man’s music and songs, Hurston’s work springs to densely theatrical life — her rich descriptions never sound so good as when they’re rolling off the actor’s tongues.
Her succinct crucibles of marital woes and financial worry are wisely homegrown and low-key — they announce themselves, but in atmo-spheric brush strokes, not brash overtures.
As a proper work of adaptation, Wolfe has also stocked the author’s stories wisely, opening with the strongest.
More cleverly, he has wrapped the show’s music around each tale, allowing its catchy blues-blend to compensate for a slight case of lat-ter-half fumbling.
Directed by Freda Scott Giles, “Spunk” has been staged with a sense of spare evocation: scenic designer Rich Dunham’s composi-tions are accessibly open and flow-ing; that spirit is matched by the flashes of mood-color in the work of
lighting designer Mathew Georgeson; and costume designer Ivan Ingermann works easily, if unre-markably, with the styles and paro-dies of style that marked the stories’ periods.
But it is the actors who are clothed in his work who demand attention and focus: as cast by Giles — with a jeweler’s precise eye for shine and depth of worth — the actors in “Spunk” are a unanimously determined lot.
Some fade to the background, and a lead or two seem as stricken with loose timing as they are with determination, but the standouts stand-out, and notably.
Both Benard and McCain act nearly on the edge of melodrama, yet nimbly, and with sincerity. Preston, though, is triumphant and indelible as the play’s flinty seer.
Verdict: “Too late now for hope, too late now for love,” Blues Speak Woman sings early on in “Spunk”—but, oh, it’s not too late to come and see the play, and to enjoy its small-time, jubilantly wry craft. Catch “Spunk” Wednesday through Sunday at the Morton Theatre.

‘Spunk’ stories brilliantly acted
By WYNN SAMMONSThe Red & Black
Athens didn’t disinte-grate after the ’80s — R.E.M. and the B-52’s blew up the national air-waves and then the local music scene moved on.
While those bands are certainly deserving of their status as local leg-ends, the local scene kept producing. Although, based on all the available documentaries about the Athens music scene, you would think all the stu-dents were still teasing their hair and doing the electric slide downtown.
Atlanta-based Outside Film — whose documenta-ry of the Athens commu-nity is in production — is looking to update the out-side world on Athens music in this millennium.
The film was initially conceived by director Albie Garcia to be a piece on the Athens-based Elephant Six arts collec-tive before Garcia and roducer Andrew Iden quickly found they were only scratching the sur-face of something much more comprehensive for their vision.
“There was a much larger picture than just Elephant Six,” Iden said. “We used Elephant Six as a launching point and every time we turned over a rock we found another great story to throw in there.”
The only option for
Garcia and Iden was to cover everything, all of it.
Outside Film has been burning the road from Athens to Atlanta filming everyone and anyone from the Athens scene in an attempt to carry the torch where legendary music doc “Athens, Ga. — Inside/Out” left off.
“It’s a massive under-taking — it’s amazing how this little, small town can produce so much,” Garcia said. “We’re gonna try and do our best to encompass all of it.”
As if the huge scale of the project isn’t challeng-ing enough for the mak-ers, Garcia and Iden are also shooting for an angle not common in most music docs.
“We felt there needed to be a story about this town and its music told by the people in the commu-nity who aren’t necessarily the most famous folks, people you don’t recog-nize walking down the street but have been just as important to the music community,” Iden said. “We want them to be the people to tell the story. It’s the people in the trenches that make the town really what it is, and nurture the music com-munity in a way.”
That’s not to say there won’t be footage of some of Athens’ most popular musicians — because there will be a lot of them. Included is what is thought to be one of the
last interviews Vic Chestnutt gave before his untimely passing, as well as a tour of legendary pro-ducer John Keane’s home studio.
Iden and Garcia have painstakingly been filming all they can, but the duo — whose day jobs are as CNN producers — consid-er the work a labor of love.
“Athens, I don’t think has ever gotten the credit it deserves outside of the music community synony-mous with those ingrained in music culture,” Iden said. “We’d love for people to come see the movie and say ‘I had no idea that Athens still had that kind of music community,’” Iden said.
The duo seem hell-bent on showing the world the Athens music community has been just as good as it’s always been, if not better.
“I expect big things from Athens in the future. It’s definitely gonna be a force to reckon with,” Garcia said. “And who knows, maybe Athens is gonna open up the eyes of a whole new generation who wanna be a part of what’s going on.”

It has been a rare occur-rence this season at Foley Field, but Sunday after-noon, the sea of fans adorned in red and black erupted when Georgia center fielder Zach Cone reeled in a pop fly for the final out of the Diamond Dogs’ 6-3 win over the No. 15 Ole Miss Rebels.
After dropping the first two games of the weekend series against the Rebels — a 4-1 loss Friday and a heartbreaking 4-3 defeat in 13 innings Saturday — the Bulldogs banded together to prevent a home sweep and to earn Georgia (11-21, 3-9 SEC) head coach David Perno the 300th win of his Bulldog coaching career Sunday.
“Everyone’s starting to feel good and feel confi-dent, and there’s enough baseball left that we could make some noise, so hope-
fully we’ll continue to do the things we did today,” said Perno, who joins for-mer Georgia coaches Steve Webber (500-403-1) and Jim Whatley (336-227-3) as just the third Georgia baseball coach to reach the 300-win mark.
It may be just one win, but for this struggling Bulldog bunch, Sunday’s victory meant much more.
“It’s not just one win, it’s just the quality of baseball,” Perno said. “There was a lot of good. I felt a lot better this morn-ing before the game than I did before Saturday’s game.”
After surrendering a run in a rocky first inning, Georgia starter Michael Palazzone found his groove Sunday afternoon, as the sophomore right-hander held the Rebels scoreless through the next five frames en route to earning his fourth win of the sea-son.
Georgia knotted the score at one run apiece in the second, when a sacri-fice fly from third baseman Colby May brought short-stop Kyle Farmer home from third.
The Bulldogs seized the lead for the first time in the bottom of the third with a three-run rally that was sparked by a leadoff single by left fielder Johnathan Taylor.
A sacrifice fly by right fielder Peter Verdin moved Taylor to third, before Levi Hyams drew a walk to put runners on the corners with no outs.
Cone brought Hyams and Taylor home by ham-mering his team-leading sixth triple of the season to center field to give Georgia the 3-1 advan-tage.
Georgia’s next batter, first baseman Robert Shipman, added an RBI single to right to cap the four-run Bulldog third.
However, Sunday’s game was far from over.
Palazzone gave up just his second run of the day on a seventh inning solo home run, before the Rebels (23-10, 7-5 SEC) crept within one run in the eighth against Georgia reliever Cecil Tanner.
Just when it seemed like another late-inning collapse from the Bulldogs was imminent, Georgia’s May responded with a two-run eighth inning home run, sending a fastball from Ole Miss’ Matt Tracy sailing over the left field wall to preserve the Georgia victory.
“We always harp on that you can’t afford to get swept in this league, and we felt like a few [games] got away from us,” Palazzone said. “We defi-nitely could have had those other two [games] the other two nights, but just to come out here and get a win was awesome.”

“And the crazy thing is to go back and look at all the places where the 0.025 was,” head coach Jay Clark said. “If we didn’t have a fall, we would win, and those are the things that can drive you crazy ... All I can say is that I really hurt for this team, espe-cially the seniors because they supported us and they did every-thing we asked them to do.”
The post-season tiebreaker counts all 24 scores, which Oregon State won 235.200-234.800. And a distraught McCool bore the brunt of her team’s stunning upset.
“It’s very hard and I can’t stop crying and I feel like I lost it for [Kat Ding, who was injured in warm-ups] because she didn’t even get a chance to compete. That [bars routine] was it — it was why we lost,” McCool said.
And as if the fates continued to toy with Georgia, McCool earned individual berths in Nationals by winning both the beam and floor in Columbia.
“I’m going to do every minute of it for my team,” a teared-up McCool said. “It’s been a great blessing to compete with them, and every minute I’m there will
be for them.”The ultimate blame could not
be placed on McCool, and her teammates knew it. Ding’s warm-up injury was a crippling blow, as the SEC bars champion was side-lined and the lineup showed it — the highest score was a 9.800 from Gina Nuccio.
“Our biggest problem was that we always defeated ourselves,” said senior Marcia Newby, who vaulted for Ding despite having a chronic shin problem. “It’s not one person’s fault. Just because Courtney fell on bars, it’s not her fault. We all could have contrib-uted a little bit more.”
As a crestfallen and despon-dent Georgia squad watched the post-meet awards presentation, when the victors — Missouri and Oregon State — were announced, Tanella was the first gymnast to stand and applaud, imploring her teammates to follow suit.
“As much as we wanted it, the best person wins, you know, and they deserve it, every bit,” Tanella said. “And you have to do unto others as you want done for you. And as much as I hate losing and hate the other teams for it, I was so proud of them for winning, and they earned our respect.”

With freshman Bo Seal sidelined to academic disciplinary action and senior Christian Vitulli injured, the Georgia men’s tennis team went 1-1 against ranked SEC opponents over the week-end, ending its undefeated in-conference streak.
The Bulldogs beat No. 43 South Carolina 4-3 Friday, before traveling and losing 5-2 to No. 6 Florida Sunday afternoon.
Seal, unable to compete in either matchup due to violating the team’s class attendance pol-icy, was replaced by freshman Will Oliver in dou-bles and singles. Whether Seal will compete in the team’s next match is yet to be determined.
“I’m disappointed with the situation, but it is what it is,” Diaz said. “Hopefully, we can get [Seal] to understand his responsibilities to his teammates and to the program and to himself. Hopefully, he’ll be bouncing back from this in a positive way.”
In Oliver’s third singles match of the dual sea-son, he was defeated in two sets on court six. Adding another obstacle to the South Carolina match, Vitulli retired from singles play at 1-1 in the first set after hyper-extending his knee, which ended his 12-match winning streak.
Seniors Nate Schnugg and Jamie Hunt along with junior Drake Bernstein won on courts one, three and four, enabling the victory against the Gamecocks. Bernstein clinched the match in a tiebreaker going 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (5).
“Not having Bo there and then Christian going down immediately with his knee injury and hav-ing to withdraw, it really put us in a hole,” Diaz said. “Frankly, the effort that day was phenome-nal. The fact that both Drake and Nate found
themselves way behind in the third set, and both came back to win was a tremendous victory for our team. It was one the highlights this year.”
With Vitulli and Seal out for Sunday’s match against the Gators, the singles lineup shifted to include both Oliver and freshman Will Reynolds. Vitulli still competed in doubles though and helped the team win the doubles point through his victory with Hunt.
“[Vitulli] was not able to go in singles. I’ll say right now that I’m hopeful and it looks like it’s likely he’ll be back to 100 percent by next week-end,” Diaz said.
Going into singles a point up, South Carolina’s Alexander Lacroix defeated Schnugg on court one in two sets. Oliver fell decidedly 6-0, 6-2 on court six, while Reynolds lost 6-4, 6-4.
The momentum seemed to shift for the Bulldogs when junior Javier Garrapiz won in two sets, but ultimately proved futile as Bernstein lost in his third set 2-6, 7-6(3), 6-4. Diaz called the match a “super effort” and felt it made
his squad “a better team.”The loss leaves No. 4 Tennessee as the only
undefeated team in SEC action this season, as the No. 8 Georgia team will travel to face them Friday in the last regular season match.
“Right after the [Florida] match, we were dis-appointed, but looking back on it, I think we’re going to be in a great state for Tennessee,” Oliver said. “We know that even though that everybody is not 100 percent ready to go — we’re down a few players — we found out what we can accom-plish with what we have.”

The No. 13 Georgia women’s tennis team failed to defend its home court Sunday against the rival Florida Gators.
The No. 4 Gators clinched the SEC regu-lar season title with the 6-1 win over the Lady Bulldogs, who dropped to 12-6 overall and 8-2 in the SEC.
“Today was a tough loss,” head coach Jeff Wallace said. “That defi-nitely was not what we wanted to go out and do.”
Florida was able to dominate the courts as they swept the doubles point 3-0. The Gators then took the first five singles matches to clinch the win and
go up 6-0 before junior Cameron Ellis gave the Lady Bulldogs their lone win on court five.
Sophomore Chelsey Gullickson, who is No. 10 nationally in singles, had her five-match win streak snapped
and No. 29 sophomore Nadja Gilchrist was handed her fourth-straight loss in singles.
“[Florida head coach Roland Thornqvist] told me after the match that was the best tennis they had played all year, and I believe it,” Wallace said. “We had some opportunities on some courts in doubles and
singles. We just couldn’t exe-cute and take advantage of our chances.”
After taking the first set, Ellis dropped the second set 3-6.
Florida had already secured the win, so the third set was replaced by a first-to-10 tie-breaker, which Ellis won 10-8, allowing the Lady Bulldogs to narrowly escape a shutout.
“It was nice to get a win,” Ellis said. “I’ve been struggling the past couple matches, and the win was good for the team. Hopefully we can turn around and get the win next week-end.”
The Lady Bulldogs will host No. 16 Tennessee at home Saturday for their regular-sea-son finale, which will decide who will receive a two-seed in the 2010 SEC Tournament in Athens.

It took three extra innings, but the Georgia softball team finally found its brooms.
No. 12 Georgia completed a come-from-behind 6-5 victory in 10 innings over Ole Miss Sunday, wrapping up the first conference sweep of the season off the bats of juniors Alisa Goler and Jennie Auger.
Trailing by one run going into the seventh of Game 3, Goler launched a solo home run to knot up the score at 5-5 and give Georgia new life as the game would head to extra innings.
The All-American third base-man went 2-for-5 in the game, but made her two hits count as both cleared the outfield wall for her seventh and eighth home runs of the year.
Following a pitching duel for the next few innings, Auger would step up in the top of the 10th sporting an 0-for-4 clip at the plate on the day. Auger had hit just 1-for-11 in the entire series when she stepped into the batter’s box.
But one of the weekend’s quiet-est hitters came up with the loud-est at-bat.
Auger would come away with the two-out, eventual game-win-ning solo home run to send the Bulldogs home from Oxford, Miss., on a high note.
Freshman relief pitcher Alison Owen (8-0) earned yet another vic-tory in relief for Georgia, blanking the Rebels (21-18, 5-10 SEC) for five-straight innings despite allow-ing runners to reach base in the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th innings.
Owen entered the circle in every game in the series, earning two wins while allowing only one run in 11.1 innings of work.
Auger’s game-winner was the exclamation point to a back-and-forth affair that saw five lead changes.
Center fielder Taylor Schlopy and first baseman Brianna Hesson tallied the remaining three RBIs
for the Bulldogs (31-8, 9-6 SEC), ending a dominat-ing weekend at the plate for the two junior players.
Schlopy, who is still in the running for national player of the year, hit a scorching 7-for-10 with two walks and four RBIs to con-
tinue her quest to repeat as an All-American.
Hesson went 5-for-10 and knocked in a run in each game to reach eight total RBIs.
Hesson’s six RBIs in Georgia’s 9-5 win in Game 1 was a personal best, and one off the school record set by Goler in 2007 and Michelle Tyree in 2002.
Auger, who has earned a start-ing spot in the outfield of late, now sports a batting average of .342 with a slugging percentage of .737 through just 14 games played.
The series sweep was an impor-tant one for the Bulldogs, keeping them in contention for the SEC East crown.

Everyone anointing Aaron Murray as the sure-fire starter at quarterback next season, not so fast.
In Saturday’s G-Day game, the third and final scrimmage of the spring, it was Zach Mettenberger stealing the show among the three quarterbacks. The redshirt freshman displayed Matthew Stafford-like arm strength while completing six of his 10 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
“Zach had a great day. I think today was probably one of Zach’s best days,” Murray said. “He looked great moving in the pock-et. He was really able to find some holes to step up in and find some throwing lanes to make some great passes.”
Mettenberger’s play Saturday further clouds the quarterback race, as head coach Mark Richt attempts to form a post-spring depth chart.
“Everyone wants to know who the starter is and I couldn’t name a starter right now if I wanted to,” Richt said. “But like I said, we’ll at least give the pecking order of where we think everyone is and go from there.”
Logan Gray took the opening snaps, completing 10 of his 17 passes for 132 yards and one touchdown.
“We’ll have to go back and look at it on film. You can always see a lot more things on film than when I’m out there going play-to-play, but I was pretty satisfied with it,” Gray said.
Mettenberger proved he was in it to win it from his opening snap at the start of the second quarter when he dropped in a beautiful 38-yard pass to Rantavious Wooten on the side-line.
“I’m just glad I’m not the one getting paid to make the deci-sion,” said wide receiver Kris Durham.
Murray opened the spring with two solid scrimmages, but had an uncharacteristic day Saturday, completing just eight of his 19 passes for 96 yards. The
redshirt freshman also threw an interception to a waiting Marcus Dowtin over the middle.
“I don’t know if it was the fans or what it was, but it was definitely not Aaron as we know him,” defensive end Demarcus Dobbs said. “But I think he’s going to turn it around and show everybody what he can do.”
With 15 spring practices in the bag, Richt said he and offen-sive coordinator Mike Bobo will begin to evaluate all three quar-terbacks, taking into account all of the work the quarterbacks put in during the spring.
“I think that all three of us really competed throughout the spring and even today there wasn’t anybody that just really did really good or someone that did really bad throughout the whole spring so that’s probably made it tougher,” Gray said. “But we’ll see what happens and obviously it might end up going into fall camp.”
Making things even more dif-ficult for the coaches is Mettenberger’s suspension for “a minimum of one game” by Richt for an arrest over spring break in Remerton, which Richt said will “play a factor.”
Richt said whoever is named
No. 1 on the post-spring depth chart will still have to hold on through 29 practices before the season opener.
The head coach cited two quarterback battles — the 2001 battle between Corey Phillips and David Greene, and the 2006 battle among Matthew Stafford, Joe Cox and Joe Tereshinski — as examples where more than one quarterback played and who-ever started the season may not necessarily finish the season as the starter.
In the meantime, fans will have their favorites — Mettenberger gained a lot of steam Saturday — and the start-er will have to prepare for the pressure cooker that comes with being a starting quarterback in the Southeastern Conference.
“In the end, it’s not the fans who are making the decisions. It’s the coaches,” Murray said. “It’s whatever they see in their mind is who they believe is the guy. You can’t worry about all the people talking.”
The waiting game begins for the three quarterbacks, the team and Bulldog Nation as Richt begins the decision-making pro-cess on the third quarterback battle in his 10 years at Georgia.

Murray threw the day’s only interception and completed 10 of his 22 pass attempts.
“I think all three showed a lot of promise,” Lynch said. “I’d say the quarterback race is dead even right now. I have no idea. I don’t know what the coaches are think-ing. All three quarterbacks stuck out a little bit today in certain parts of the game. In my eyes, I think they’re all doing real well.”
Wide receiver Rantavious Wooten and Mettenberger con-nected for 45 yards of offense on Wooten’s three catches, includ-ing 38-yard completion.
“We’ve been taking reps together in practice,” said Wooten, who went to Georgia football camp with Mettenberger when they were seniors in high school. “He has a big-time arm. Whenever we have a play that goes deep I told him, ‘Throw it out there. Let me go get it.’ And he says, ‘I got you. Let’s go play.’”
Wide receiver A.J. Green had a relatively quiet day with three catches for just 28 yards, as running back Washaun Ealey rushed for 22 yards on seven carries and reeled in three catches for 26 yards.
Speedy tailback Carlton Thomas — who played for both sides — broke out for the game’s longest run of 30 yards and fin-ished with 54 yards on eight car-ries.
“They’re a good offense. They got a lot of people returning,” defensive end Demarcus Dobbs said. “The quarterbacks are good. They had some great throws. We got a couple great backs in Washaun and Carlton. I think they just gotta get more comfortable with the new quar-terback and try to come together as one. But I think they’re gonna do their thing like they need to.”
Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham experienced his first matchup between the hedges and was pleased with the mid-game adjustments the defense made. Grantham puts emphasis on making adjustments on the fly and adapting to what oppo-nents do.
“My big thing is, you gotta work the game,” Grantham said. “You gotta come over and you gotta adjust to what’s just hap-pened to you. You gotta go over the plays you just saw and you gotta be able to handle them next time because if they were
successful they’re probably gonna run them again.”
While the defense made mid-game adjustments, the offense was forced to adjust as well. Since the defense didn’t want the entirety of its new playbook on film for opponents, that forced the offense to limit which plays it ran.
“Offense had to cooperate with the defense because ... dif-ferent [defensive] personnel groups would’ve had to show our hand as to how we would react to these things,” Richt said. “We didn’t want to show too much defensively because everybody’s gonna try to study this film, but we also had to do less offensively so the defense wouldn’t have to make their adjustments.”
The defense was not allowed to hit the quarterbacks, about which Richt said “we’re not gonna let them get hit” to preserve the health of the three Bulldog field generals.
The referees were told to whistle a play dead if a sack would have taken place under normal game circumstances.
Richt said he told the referees “If you’re in
doubt, let them play. Sometimes [the referees] miss a sack, and it does make a difference when you can hit a quarterback and shake him up.”
Dobbs had to pump the brakes in order to avoid tackling his teammates in the black jerseys.
“The referees wasn’t calling sacks. They weren’t giving it to us,” Dobbs said. “It was kind of hard just to try to attack some-one off without just running into them ... It’s an advantage for the quarterbacks and it puts us at a disadvantage that we can’t really go full speed how we want to.”
The defense forced two fum-bles on the day — one by Dobbs and one by defensive back Shawn Williams — had one interception by Marcus Dowtin and was the culprit of the game’s only penal-ty, which was an offsides call to start the second half.
“We did have a couple guys fumble the ball, but in a G-Day game I guess you’re happy the defense caused the fumble. You’re not happy that the offense had the fumble,” Richt said. “I don’t know how to react to turnovers in a spring game. But it was nice to have very few penalties.”
