Wow, Part II

I forgot about this, but say hello to Grantham's newest LB. I am not sure who the bigger freak is......

Richard Samuel in this play??........




............Or AJ in this play??



All I can say is Wow. I look forward to Richard Samuel at LB for the next couple of years.

Wow

It's hard to not get a little excited about Aaron Murray as our next QB with all the praise being thrown his way. According to ESPN's Joe Schad, Colt McCoy says that Murray is "one of the most impressive players he's ever seen". Then, this video pops up on Rivals counting down the top 10 QB camp performances since 2006 (check out Murray's 1st pass to WR Matthew Stafford). Murray was 2nd in the video's rankings, finishing behind Stafford and ahead of:

• Tim Tebow (anytime the media ranks you ahead of Tebow, you know you've impressed)
• Matt Barkley (last year's media darling at USC)
• Ryan Mallet (IMO, the SEC's best QB heading into 2010, hands down)
• John Brantley (the guy that is supposedly going to make UF fans forget about Tebow)
• Josh Freeman (1st round NFL draft pick for TB)
• Jake Locker (would have been one of the top picks in this year's draft if he had left Washington early)

That's a solid list to be #2 on. And it's pretty damn cool that UGA has the top 2 spots. If half of the hype on Murray is true, Logan might as well start learning the playbook from the perspective of a WR or a CB.

And don't forget to check out the "Debate of the Day" between Champ Bailey and David Pollack that we did last week.

Debate of the Day.... Champ vs Pollack

Our QB debate started some good conversation, so we thought we would move over to defense for the next installment of the "Debate of the Day". These two guys were two of the best ever to wear the red and black. One of them has gone on to a Hall of Fame NFL career and the other's career got cut short due to injury. Here are some stats on Champ and Pollack with our picks below.

Champ Bailey

• 33 total games (24 starts) in 3 years
• 1st team All-SEC in '97 & '98
• NCAA All-American in '98
• Won Bronko Nagurski Award for top Defensive Player in country in '98
• Had 147 total tackles , 2 fumble recoveries, 1 forced fumble, and 8 interceptions
• Played over 950 snaps on offense and defense in '98
• Had 47 receptions for 744 yards and 5 touchdowns
• Averaged 103.5 all-purpose yards with special teams, rushing, and receiving in '98
• Future NFL Hall of Famer

David Pollack

• Only 2nd player in UGA history to be a 3-time All-American '02-'04 (Herschel)
• 1st team All-SEC from '02-'04
• SEC Player of the Year in '02
• Won Ted Hendricks Award (best defensive end) in '03-'04
• SEC Defensive Player of the Year in '04
• Won Lombardi Award in '04
• Won Lott Trophy in '04
• Won Chuck Bednarik Award in '04 for best Defensive Player in the country
• Recorded almost 280 total tackles
• Holds record for career sacks at UGA with 36

DRM's pick...

I think this debate is a lot closer than most people would think. Champ was amazing when he was in Athens. And he didn't get that much recognition until he started playing both ways. He was definitely a corner that would shut down one side of the field. His junior year was one of the best ever by any player in Athens history . BUT , we are talking about one of the best defensive players in NCAA history in David Pollack. He was the anchor of the defense during the best 4 year stretch of Georgia football history. He had one of the greatest defensive plays in history which single handily won the South Carolina game. He ranks 3rd in NCAA history with 36 career sacks. And was the crowd ever louder when he had one hand in the dirt and the other raised up trying to get the Dawgnation on their feet !!! My pick David Pollack

RB Dawg's Pick...

I thought this was going be an easy choice for me - Pollack is one of my favorite players of all time and the 2nd most decorated player in UGA history. But, then I started to really think about it. And it comes down to this - would I rather have the best DE in the country or the best shutdown CB in the country that also lines up at WR? It's the chicken or the egg argument - does the D-Line make the secondary look good because they are rushing the QB into bad throws or does the secondary make the D-Line look good because nobody can get open, thus forcing the QB to hold onto the ball longer? I can't believe I am going to type this, but I am going to take Champ. If he was on Richt's championship contending teams in the early 2000's instead of Donnan's underachieving teams, he would have gotten all kinds of Heisman hype, ala Charles Woodson when Michigan won it all. The dimension that he added to the offense to go along with shutting down half the field for our defense on every single play is just too much for me to pass up. Dude could absolutely fly and has gone on to be the best CB in the NFL over the last decade.

Vanity Fair with John Isner

Here is the article that Vanity Fair did with former bulldog John Isner while in Memphis last week....

The professional tennis circuit isn’t just about the Grand Slams. In this new series, VF.com goes behind the scenes at the many tournaments that lead up to the U.S. Open, in August.

One of 32 men playing in this week’s Regions Morgan Keegan Championships, in Memphis, Tennessee, is John Isner, currently the No. 2-ranked American player on the A.T.P. World Tour. You might remember this six-foot-nine-inch ace as the kid who knocked out Andy Roddick in an epic match during the 2009 U.S. Open. Born in North Carolina, the 24-year-old played collegiate tennis at the University of Georgia before turning pro in 2007.

WHAT I MOST LOOK FORWARD TO ABOUT TRAVELING TO MEMPHIS is the great food. Corky’s BBQ is something I always go to. Blue Plate café for breakfast. I don’t get that type of food in Tampa, Florida.

MEMPHIS DIFFERS FROM THE REST OF THE TOURNAMENTS because this has more of a down-home feel. It’s in the South, which is where I’m from. It’s really the only tournament of the year that’s kind of in this region. The people are so nice here in the South. It’s a tournament I look forward to every year.

MY FAVORITE TOURNAMENT is the U.S. Open because the atmosphere is great. Everyone always roots the American on. It’s just a great thrill to play in that tournament.

THE MOST MEMORABLE TOURNAMENT I’VE PLAYED IN is probably the U.S. Open. I’ve had some good wins there before. Made the final 16 there last year. That was the first time I’ve done that. And I think I was also the last American left in the draw, so that was a good accomplishment.

MY BIGGEST CAREER WIN is Andy Roddick. I beat him in the U.S. Open. That’s my best win so far.

I USUALLY TRAVEL WITH my coach, Craig Boynton. I’ll usually check two bags and will carry my computer bag and tennis bag on the plane.

I HAD A TRAVEL DISASTER WHEN just this year I won the tournament in Auckland, and I had to play two days later in Melbourne, but I got to Melbourne and didn’t have any bags. Fortunately they came the day of my match, and I was able to put my shoes and clothes on and go out and play.

THE HARDEST PART ABOUT TRAVELING FOR WORK is that I’m a big guy, so traveling is sometimes uncomfortable for me. It’s also expensive because I have to buy the really nice seats, which kind of sucks.

THE BEST PART ABOUT TRAVELING FOR WORK is that it’s better than sitting behind a desk! You get to travel around the world and play a game, so it’s not too bad.

Debate of the Day...Stafford vs. Greene

Who would you rather have as your starting QB? Matthew Stafford or David Greene? The stats and our picks are below...

DAVID GREENE

• 42 Wins in 4 years (most ever in NCAA until Colt McCoy broke record this year)
• Gave UGA its first SEC title in 20 years
• Named SEC Freshman of the Year in 2001
• Named to 1st Team All-SEC in 2002
• Named MVP of the SEC Championship Game in 2002
• Named to 2nd Team All-SEC in 2003 & 2004
• 11,528 career passing yards
• 1,440 attempts, 849 completions (58.96%)
• 72 TD, 32 INT
• 138.30 QB Rating

MATTHEW STAFFORD

• Named to the 2006 SEC Coaches All-Freshman Team
• Named Offensive MVP of 2006 Peach Bowl
• Named All-America by Pro Football Weekly in 2008
• Named to 2nd Team All SEC in 2008
• Named MVP of the 2009 Outback Bowl
• Threw school record 25 TDs in 2008
• 7,731 career passing yards
• 987 attempts, 564 completions (57.14%)
• 51 TD, 33 INT
• 133.30 QB Rating

DRM's take....

This debate isn't even close. Greene played in 2 SEC Championship games in 4 years and in 2002 was the MVP of the game. He won more games as a QB than any other QB in the history of college football until Colt McCoy broke the record this past season. Greene also brought the Dawg-Nation back to the level that we all wanted as he passed for more yards than anyone in SEC history. Despite all the yards and many more games (and pass attempts), Greene still has one less interception than Stafford in his career. During one stretch of his career, Greene threw the ball 214 straight times without throwing a pick which is also an SEC record. Has Stafford ever gotten to 100 attempts without throwing a pick?? I will sleep just fine knowing that David Greene is running my offense.

RB Dawg's take...

This will probably go against the popular vote as the obvious sentimental choice is David Greene. And, I give Greene all the credit in the world for staying in Athens for 5 years as opposed to Stafford's 3 years. I know that #7 never led us to the GA Dome, much less to an SEC title. But, there is a reason that the guy was drafted #1 overall in the NFL Draft. And has anyone taken a look at the defensive players that were on Greene's teams? David Pollack, Greg Blue, Sean Jones, Thomas Davis, Odell Thurman, Jonathan Sullivan, Boss Bailey are some names off the top of my head (Stupid question - who gives a team a better chance at success - Brian Van Gorder or Willie Martinez??). Not to mention having Jon Stinchcomb and Max Jean-Giles on the offensive line. Of course, Greene had the intangibles and knew "how to win", but I always thought Stafford got a bad rap on that. Dude looked like he knew how to compete pretty damn hard a few times this past fall in Detroit.

What do y'all think?? Let us know in the comments below.

Looking Ahead... Way, Way Ahead

I was going over our depth chart by class heading into the 2010 Spring Practice. Wow - we are really young. I'm not sure what that means for 2010, but Richt has us lined up to make a serious run in 2011. Check out who we lose after the 2010 season by position...

(NOTES - All recruiting stars assigned to the 2010 commits are according to Rivals. Also, I have combined all the defensive tackles and the defensive ends into one category - DL. I did the same with all of our safeties and cornerbacks - DB.)

OFFENSE....................

QB - We lose nobody. Logan Gray is a Junior, while Aaron Murray, Zach Mettenberger, and 2010 commitment Hutson Mason (3 stars) are all Freshmen

RB - We lose nobody. Caleb King is a Junior, while Washaun Ealey, Dontavious Jackson and Carlton Thomas are all Sophomores. We also have 2010 commits Ken Malcome (4 stars) and Alex Ogletree (3 stars) listed on the depth chart as Freshman. I have also read that Ogletree could possibly be a FB in Athens...

WR - We lose Kris Durham and you might as well go ahead and consider AJ a Senior also. But, we have a lot of talent being developed behind AJ. Israel Troupe is a Junior, while Marlon Brown, Tavarres King and and Rontavious Wooten are all Sophomores. Michael Bennett (3 stars) will be a Freshman.

TE - We lose nobody. Bruce Figgins and Aron White are Juniors, while Orson Charles and Arthur Lynch are both Sophomores.

FB - Fred Munzenmaier and Shaun Chapas are both Seniors. And Charles White is the only player sitting behind them and he is a Junior. Looks like the rumors of Alex Ogletree moving here make some sense.

OL - We do lose Clint Boling and both Davis boys (Chris and Josh). BUT, we have lots of depth here (not that you can ever have enough depth in the trenches). Our Junior Offensive Linemen are Trinton Sturdivant, Justin Anderson, Ben Jones, Cordy Glenn, Tanner Strickland and Ben Harden. Our Sophomores are AJ Harmon and Jonathan Owens. Our Freshman are Chris Burnette, Dallas Lee, and Austin Long. The 2010 commits are Kolton Houston (3 stars), Brent Benedict (4 stars), and Kenarious Gates (3 stars).

DEFENSE..............

DL- We will lose DeMarcus Dobbs, Kiante Tripp and Brandon Wood as our Seniors. DeAngelo Tyson and Justin Houston are our only Juniors and Abry Jones, Cornelius Washington, Montez Robinson and Jeremy Longo are the Sophomores. Kwame Geathers and Derrick Lott are both Freshman, while Garrison Smith (4 stars), Mike Thornton (4 stars), Brandon Burrows (3 stars), TJ Stripling (4 stars), Dexter Morant (4 stars), and Jalen Fields (4 stars) are the 2010 commits.

LB - We will lose Akeem Dent, Akeem Hebron and Daryl Gamble. Our Juniors are Marcus Dowtin, Nick Williams and Richard Samuel (can't wait to see him at LB!!). Our only Sophomores are Mike Gilliard and Christian Robinson. The Freshmen will be Chase Vasser and 2010 commit Demetre Baker (3 stars).

DB - The only Seniors are Quintin Banks and Vance Cuff (I was shocked to read that 2010 will be his final season in Athens - time flies...). We only have 2 Juniors as well - Brandon Boykin and Jakar Hamilton (can't wait to see this guy play 'Tween the Hedges). The Sophomores represent the biggest class at this position with Branden Smith, Makiri Pugh, Sanders Commings, Bacarri Rambo, and Shaun Williams. The Freshman class is made up Jordan Love along with 2010 commits Alec Ogletree (4 stars), Marc Deas (3 stars) and Derek Owens (3 stars).

P/K - Our depth chart is full with 3 juniors - Brandon Bogotay, Drew Butler and Blair Walsh.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN???

Out of the 84 players on scholarship, we only have 14 Seniors in 2010. You read that correctly - Fourteen!!! I think it is safe to say that AJ will be gone after this year also. So, we only lose 15 players off the 2010 roster (plus whatever defections we have between now and next spring). 23 players are Juniors (that includes AJ), 21 are Sophomores, while 26 are Freshman this year (I am not including Lonnie Outlaw, who will not be in Athens until 2012). Obviously, a handful of those 26 will red-shirt this year and be Freshmen again in 2011.

All in all, we really don't lose much off of the 2010 team. Take a look at the players we are losing:

Munzenmaier

Chapas

AJ (assuming he leaves early)

Durham

Boling

J Davis

C Davis

Wood

Dobbs

Tripp

Hebron

Gamble

Dent

Banks

Cuff

Obviously, losing AJ will be a huge loss. But, other than that, I am not sure that I can find a gaping loss that we can not overcome in 2011. Clint Boling has been great at OL, but we have a LOT of experience behind him and I think Searles will continue to develop the young talent. The other position of concern is FB - we must find the heir apparent at a position that has served Mark Richt's teams very well during his time in Athens.

I think we will be a good team in 2010, with a chance to be a great team in 2011 that makes a serious run at a title. What do you think?

Thank You, Kirby

I'm a little late on this, but I still wanted to put it out there - THANK YOU, KIRBY!!

We might have backed into this, but who would you rather have? A guy that has learned under Nick Saban, Frank Beamer (and Bud Foster), Romeo Crennel, and Wade Phillips while scheming against the top offensive minds of the NFL? Or a guy that may or may not make his own calls as the DC for the world's biggest control freak in Saban?

If you were to put the resumes side-by-side, its not even close - Grantham blows Kirby out of the water. During the weekend of Kirby's big decision, I had heard that Kirby and Grantham would both be DC's in the SEC - we just didn't know which one would be in Athens and which one would be in Tuscaloosa. I got really worried that Saban was gonna pull one over on Richt. While most of the DawgNation was upset with Kirby for using his alma mater for a big payday @ Bama, I was thanking him for staying put while I remained hopeful that we would hire Grantham. Luckily, our search finally ended a few days later.

So, once again, Thank You, Kirby - I am glad you are still in Tuscaloosa. I am looking forward to the product that Grantham will put on the field every Saturday.

Dawg Bites

Well, one of them is dawg related and the other is just plain eye candy. First here is an interview done with Men's Tennis Coach Manuel Diaz back at the US Open. Inside Tennis does a very nice job with the interview that you can find HERE.

This isn't really sports but it was found in the Wall Street Journal Sports section, so it counts. And it is easy to look at. Wall Street Journal catches up with new sports illustrated cover girl Brooklyn Decker to discuss some sports and other things. Although Brooklyn is a Carolina fan, there is some six degrees of separation with dawgnation. Brooklyn is married to Andy and Andy's brother John was an All-American tennis player for the dawgs and the assistant head coach. Anyway, check out the article HERE.

Georgia-Florida Tennis Recap

The Georgia tennis team got shutout for the second day in a row. I am sure it has been a very very long time since the dawgs lost back to back days without getting on the scoreboard. I have the utmost confidence in Coach Diaz and Associate Head Coach Will Glenn that they will get the guys going in the right direction. And this Georgia team will be a force in the NCAA tournament in May when the tournament comes to Athens. HERE is the post match article and some good quotes from Coach Diaz.

UGA-UVA tennis recap

Click here for an article with a quick recap of last night's 4-0 tennis loss to UVA.... I did pull an interesting quote from Brian Boland (UVA's head coach) last night in another article from virginiasports.com - "The atmosphere was absolutely electric tonight. We have always said that we have the best fans in college tennis and they proved it again tonight." If he thinks he has good fans, I can't wait 'til he gets to hear 5,000+ rowdy Dawg fans barking at the NCAA's in Athens this spring.

We play vs. the hated 12th-ranked Gators tonight at 6:30. You can follow the live scoring here.

Coach Fox is on the Right Track

When Damon Evans hired Mark Fox last spring, most reactions were along the lines of "Huh, Who? What? We hired a search firm to find this guy?" Almost a year later, he has all UGA fans starting to wonder if he can do what Tubby did in the mid 90's. We have an opportunity to have a great basketball program to go along with all the other great programs in Athens. He won me over with all of his quotes upon taking the job last April 3rd - it all started with a workman-like, take-no-excuses attitude. From Day 1, he has talked about how the team had to win the fans back by going out and playing hard. We still have not heard one word out of him about needing a new arena. In fact, he has gone so far as to say that Stegeman already offers everything that we do need. And, when you get down to it, he's exactly right - It doesn't matter how state-of-the-art or pretty or fancy our place is - we just need to have a team being cheered by 10,000-plus fans going absolutely bonkers every night. And, it has been proven in the past - the crowds will fill Stegeman up if the product is on the court.

Don't forget that basketball is different than football too - all we need is to pluck 1 or 2 of the kids from the fertile recruiting grounds of Georgia and we will be a legit top 25 team as soon as next year. Considering that Fox sent 4 kids from Nevada (friggin Nevada, people) to the NBA in 5 years, I would bet he can convince a kid or 2 to take their chances playing for the state's flagship University.

Obviously, we aren't there yet - but we are on the right track to getting back to where Tubby had us going before he took his dream job in Lexington. The question now becomes this - "What will Damon Evans do to be sure we don't lose Coach Fox?" Given the $$$ that Evans was throwing around looking for a defensive coordinator, I think we are going to be able to hold on to Fox and finally see what will happen when a real coach stays in Athens for more than 2 years.

Mens Tennis-Friday 3pm

The UGA men's tennis team begins play at the National Team Indoor Championships Friday at 3 pm on the campus of the University of Virginia. They are seeking their 3rd indoor national title in 5 years. The Dawgs are the 7th seed and they have a very familiar opponent in the 1st round, SEC rival Ole Miss. Ole Miss beat the Dawgs 4-3 last season in Oxford, but Georgia holds the overall series record of 31-9. Head Coach Manuel Diaz had this to say about the tournament and match up. "We’re excited to be here. It’s such an elite field once again competing for a national championship. We’re excited about the way our guys are playing and their preparation to date. It’s going to be a fantastic challenge going up against a team like Ole Miss who had such a great season last year. It’s going to be a preview of a big match coming later this year in Athens.”

Chris Low's Pre-Spring Rankings are a Joke

Chris Low has his pre-spring SEC power rankings out. For all his details and explanations, click here to read his post. But, if you just want to get straight to his point - he has UGA 7th behind Bama, Florida, LSU, Arkansas, South Carolina and Auburn.

I am generally very optimistic, but let's take a quick look at the Dawgs for 2010...

On offense, we return 10 starters to a unit that was pretty good last year. We return our entire offensive line, the best WR in the country and 2 tailbacks that just really found their groove and broke out in the final 5 games of last year It is going to be nice to see Washaun and Caleb play an entire season with some confidence. The one and only knock on the 2010 offense is we are going to have a rookie QB running the show. But, what everyone seems to forget is that our 2010 rookie QB (whomever ends up winning the job) is going to be replacing a less-talented rookie QB. And, 1st year QB's have had success in the league...... David Greene had a pretty good 1st year as a red-shirt freshman QB. Greg McElroy was good enough for his team to win a national championship as a 1st year QB. Bottom line - I will take my chances and say that our offense in 2010 with an extra year of experience at every position and a trade of Joe Cox for Aaron Murray (I think he is a lock to start next year) will clearly be better than it was in 2009.

On defense, the negatives are we made a bunch of changes and we are switching to a whole new scheme with a whole new staff. That is the big knock on our defense. On the positive side, we made a bunch of changes and we are switching to a whole new scheme with a whole new staff. Granted - we lost some talent to the NFL. But, the young talent that we have stockpiled over the last few recruiting classes should be able to step right in. Combine the potential of the talent on our roster and the fire of a great new staff - I don't believe there is any way we can be any worse on this side of the ball than we were last year. Not by a long shot.

About some of the other teams in Low's rankings...

#3 LSU - Why are they in the top 3? Coaching - nope. QB play - nope. Defense - nope. They have a bunch of talent but where has that gotten them the last 2 years? They have had a worse 2 year run than our Dawgs have.

#4 Arkansas - Bobby Petrino is always going to have an offense that can put some points on the board. 2009 was no different and 2010 will be another great offense as Ryan Mallet will still be slinging it around.... But, what has anyone seen that makes them think the ARK defense is going to be worth anything in 2010?? I see a much better chance of the UGA defense bringing the noise in 2010 than I do of the Hogs defense.

#6 South Carolina - Really?? Do you know what their record is down the stretch the last 2 years? It is 5-9 over the last 7 games in each of the last 2 years combined. That is god-awful. I don't even want to take the time to try and explain why UGA should be ranked ahead of them. Every year, the media seemingly gets together and picks a dark-horse team to come out and challenge for the league title. 2010 South Carolina has become that team, replacing the 2009 version that was Ole Miss.

#10 Mississippi State - Teams with good coaches are always pretty dang good in the coach's 2nd year. Not sure why that is but take a quick look at the 2nd year of these coaches - Stoops... national title; Richt... 13-1, #3 in country; Tressel... national title; Meyer... national title; Saban (at Bama)... undefeated regular season, won SEC West. It remains to be seen if Mullen is as good as those coaches, but he turned Miss. St into a threat in his 1st year and the FL offense took a big hit after he left Gainesville (and that's with all-world Superman Tim Tebow running the offense). I don't think they will be the 3rd worst team of the SEC.

Last year was the worst team we have ever had under CMR. And, he made a lot of tough decisions in the off-season to change that and get the Dawgs back on track. I just don't see how we are going to be any worse than we were last year. I honestly expect to better in all 3 aspects of the game and I think we will head into Jacksonville undefeated next year. Look for 2010 to be a much better season than 7th in the SEC and I expect to compete with Florida for the SEC East next season.

Rambo vs. Da'Rick

I am not a big fan of trash talk, but Bacarri Rambo is having a war of words with Da'Rick Rogers via Facebook and Twitter (gotta love the Internet these days). Check out the conversation going back and forth...

Rambo on Facebook - "Bacarri Rambo thinks [it] is messed up how all of UGA high school commitments back out on us but I’m telling you now when I catch you on the field I’m going to knock fire from you.”

Da'Rick on Twitter - “Who is Bacarri Rambo?”

Rambo on Twitter - “Tell Darick ‘pretty boy’ Rogers he doesn’t have to know me but I bet he will feel me!! Lol”

Da'Rick on Twitter - “don’t worry about me ha … that’s your choice … last time i checked a big hit =’s you getting knocked out.”

Rambo on Twitter - “I compete against the best receiver in the nation everyday at practice. Why should i worry about that guy.”

If Da'Rick is able to qualify and suit up next year, something tells me he will be greeted with lots of boos in Sanford next season. As for the whole Da'Rick recruiting situation, I think the only thing that Dawg fans should be upset about is how Rogers handled it. I am not upset that he changed his mind - it's an 18 year old kid changing his mind in what is the biggest decision of his life up to this point. It happens to every school, every single year. My beef with Da'Rick is the fact that he could have let CMR and co. know what was going on before Tuesday night. Instead, he dragged it out insisting that Georgia had nothing to worry about - he was not going to flip and go to UT. If we had known what was going on, we might have shifted our recruiting efforts to someone else. And that appears to be the big problem that Jakar Hamilton and Bacarri Rambo had with Roger's last minute flip-flop decision. Either way, UT @ UGA on October 9 just got a little more interesting.

UGA vs GEEKS

Dawgs clinch match. UP 4-1 now. The Streak is ALIVE!

UGA Men's Tennis Is Streaking

When the 7th ranked Men's tennis team takes the court later today vs. the Geeks, they will be going for their 24th consecutive win over GT. That dominant streak dates all the way back to 1989. Going back to 1969, UGA men's tennis is 49-1 against the Tech-Geeks. Wow.

The other streak on the line will be our home winning streak of 64 consecutive matches, which dates back to March 25, 2005 vs. Mississippi State.

Go out and support the team if you are in Athens. The match will be at Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Facility on Sunday at 1 pm.
