Georgia WR George Pickens apologizes to team: 'he can't let that happen again'
Georgia WR George Pickens apologized to the team for getting himself ejected in the win over Georgia Tech last Saturday and drawing a first-half suspension in the SEC Championship Game

There you go. For you fans defending Pickens, this has been coming all year and has finally caught up to him. Could be that’s the reason the ref flagged him Saturday against Tech when it was obvious Swilling threw the first two punches. Could be the word has gotten to the refs to keep this guy in check. I cannot defend Pickens as some of you can because there have been too many instances of his disregard for the “team first” philosophy. Taunting players after a catch, attempting to do a throat slash until Woerner wrapped him up and several other instances. He’s young and hopefully he’ll learn or he’ll either be gone by dismissal or transfer. The locker room is an important aspect of a teams success. Personally, I hope he learns. Go Dawgs!
well, I've been as critical of Pickens' behavior as anyone, but hearing that he apologized to his teammates makes me feel somewhat better. Now my fear (other than we'll be down 30 points at halftime) is that just like Tyler Simmons said, now other teams KNOW that Pickens is a hot head and they'll try and bait him. LSU is DEFINITELY going to be chirping. And the thing is, he can't lose his composure if he happens to drop a pass or get tackled hard because that's when he's really going to hear it. He just has to get up, get back in the huddle and run the next play.
GA has much bigger offensive problems besides missing Pickens for a half. Even a Herculean effort by the defense would still most likely only slow down LSU's offense. I just hope we don't end up looking like A&M did this past weekend. That would be embarrassing.
Words must be defined by action. That is the difference. Pickens is a young thunderbolt! He seems a bit of an anomaly though. I have not noticed this ongoing type behavior on other teams? Sporadic, yes...persistent, no. Here's hoping he has quickly matured because this may prove a costly punishment. GO DAWGS!!!
"Now my fear (other than we'll be down 30 points at halftime)"
I keep seeing statements like this all through these post. My gosh with that kind of attitude why even bother turning on the game.
Does LSU look very good yes, I am realistic but I also think we have a very good team and every game is and individual game and I for one expect us to win. I am pumped and every UGA fan should be just as pumped as we are in our 3rd straight SEC championship game and the playoffs are there for our taking.
If you think LSU is so good and UGA is so bad that we are going to get spanked by 30-40 points then why do you even care to post other than some of you people just like complaining.
You could be a BAMA fan and be sitting at home now stewing in the realization that you are not going to be SEC champs and NOT going to the Playoffs.
UGA has everything in front of it that BAMA does not. Every UGA fan should be pumped and optimistic that we will win. I guarantee everyone of the players and coaches feel they are going to perform and WIN on Saturday.
Good post! Would read again! Go Dawgs!
Does all the fans that keep worrying about a blowout really watch football. AU certainly didn’t light it up on offense against LSU and they held the tigers to 23 points in Death Valley while losing the turnover battle. We have the best defense in the conference have some faith we may not win but this will be a dawg fight to the finish.
LSU is good. Granted. But they will have faced no team the likes of UGA. Defense playing lights out and getting better. Running game is good. Passing game is a problem for Dawgs. Will have to lean on the running game. But if the great wall of Georgia can control the LOS, might not need a passing game. Remember, Fromm had many games last year where he had no need to throw the ball 20 times, the running game was so dominant. True, you had Chubb and Michel. But I'll counter that Swift is every bit the back as Michel. And has a healthy line. Too many people get upset at runs up the middle that get no yards. But those of us who remember the 80's games, know that the DL getting pounded every play eventually wears out. 4 yards and a cloud of dust. Would like to see Swift, Herrien, Zeus, and Cook make the LSU front 7 look like an FCS defense, by the time the 4th quarter rolls around. If Dawgs can keep LSU under 28, they have a chance. Dawgs stand no chance in a shootout. GO DAWGS!
George, grow the hell up son, it's bigger than you!
Dawgs, just win the darn game, ****, i don't care but you're three games away from glory!
If because of this episode Pickens learns a lesson and leaves the foolish behavior in the vault until he gets to the NFL, he and the Dawgs will be much the better for it. We certainly don't need to take this garbage into next season when he and Blaylock will have the opportunity to become UGA's version of LSU's sophomore WRs Marshall and Chase next year!
Pickens should come out in the second half like a "house of fire", as Gordon Solie used to say when a wrestler finally tagged in after his partner had been taking an extended beating.
Pickens could have been arrested for assault, when he tried (or pretty much did) throw the guy headfirst into the wall. YIKES! That was crazy. Not a good look.
Self defense does not translate into assault. Watch the film. Swilling instigated and continued his assault on Pickens. Too bad he picked on the wrong man, "Warrior George."
