Mike, I hope you don’t miss the start of the game. You keep reporting it’s at 12:30 but espn announces it at 12:00.
opt out=quitting
Man, hearing the news about Azeez Ojulari playing really lifted my spirits! That's awesome! I sure hope the rest of the guys that were planning to opt out, also decide to play with their brothers one last time. One more game, guys. Let's take care of business.
Thank you, Azeez Ojulari! And all the rest of you who decide to play. One last time!
GO DAWGS!
Hopefully, Azeez also sticks around one more year and plays with his brother in Athens.
Happy to learn that Ojulari will participate in the Peach Bowl and that loyalty and brotherhood are part of his character. He's quite a player!
I noticed that CKS said that of the 64 who were drafted "players drafted" only 6 players didn't play in their teams bowl games. What about the uncounted players such as Holyfield who weren't drafted. It seems that this unknown number has to be a much bigger number and demonstrates that these "OPT-OUTs" are becoming a sever problem for colleges and universities that spend millions of dollars each year to provide them with a college education not to mention a path to the NFL.
I see Kirby's back to treating the media like they're wrong for not knowing what he didn't let them know, and acting like it's none of the fans' business, really, who's opting out. "I just want to talk about Cincinnati." Yeah, Kirby, you did that in your opening statement, and it's not like you're going to give away your gameplan, so what is the point of anyone asking questions about Cincinnati? We don't care how many of the top 64 players from last year's draft opted out, as that doesn't matter since that won't affect Friday's game. And, even though he's pretending they're the same thing, an "opt out" isn't the same as an injured player not being a go. Kirby can be a real "___" when he chooses to be, and he chooses that option for addressing the media, and thus the fans, far too often. Winning and being polite aren't mutually exclusive.
I wish Mark Webb was not playing. I feel he is a liability on the deep ball and would rather see a player on next year's team get the reps in his place.
Everything in this article is encouraging about this team and the young men across the nation that are playing ball. I pray the injured players recover fully, quickly regardless of whether they play again for UGA.
God bless America and our beloved Dawgs. Beat the Bearcats!
The haters always want to talk about a player opting out of an exhibition game
Exhibition games don't count in final records. Bowl games do. The Senior Bowl is an exhibition game.
That is not a lot. 6 of the first 64 players drafted, opted out. Now tell the other side, that's because half of them were probably in the playoffs.
GO DAWGS!!!!
Thank you Azeez .. ball out , be a leader , show them young pups coming in how to be a dawg .. and show the nfl what they bout to get
Just because someone disagrees with you does not make them a "hater".
“I’m super proud of the guys that are (playing) and want to finish it off and are committed to Georgia,” Smart said. “And they are finishing it off the right way.”
Pretty much sums it up, thinly veiled, to the point.
Very proud of Azeez! Lead the D!
