Richard Samuel may have some big shoes to fill.

The smart money out of Athens coming out of spring practice was that there was going to be a running back by committee coming out from between the hedges. Caleb King may have been the lead dog, but yesterday’s scrimmage may change things altogether. Richard Samuel rushed five times for 108 yards and a touchdown and took a pass 70 yards for another touchdown.

“Richard ran the ball well, but he definitely had more space to work with than any other back,” coach Mark Richt said. “There is no question about that. You can’t let the amount of yards Richard got today fool you, but he was impressive.”

So this obviously doesn’t end the conversation, but with a team that’s been practicing live as much as Georgia has? This definitely means Richard Samuel is firmly in the conversation to be the heir apparent to the Bulldog tradition.

Lane Kiffin is a Bozo, Pic

Lane Kiffin is a Bozo, Pic. Add this to the tally of pregame banter before the CBS game of the week 3:30 PM Eastern in Gainesville Florida 9-19-2009. In an interview, with the Gainesville Sun, Gators player Matt Patchan was asked what he would do if he passed Lane Kiffin on the street. He said

“I probably wouldn’t say anything to him. I’ve got nothing to say to that guy. He’s a bozo.”

This is a little different than Lane Kiffin saying “I’m really looking forward to embracing some of the great traditions at the University of Tennessee, for instance the Vol Walk, running through the T, singing Rocky Top all night long after we beat Florida next year, it will be a blast”

It is different because I don’t see the Vols putting “Lane Kiffin is a Bozo” on the bulletin board. Call me crazy. On top of that, what else do Vols fans/players expect? Their coach has had calamity after calamity since the day he stepped on to campus. They are used to Kiffin being made fun of by the national media, who cares what one random player from Florida says?

I say all of that to point out the Vols sad state of affairs. A player from one of your biggest rival can call your coach a Bozo and it is not a big deal. That’s close to rock bottom, but if the Vols start winning, it will all be coming up roses. All of this preseason gibberish and trash talk will be a funny distant memory if the Vols start 3-0.
