NCAA president Mark Emmert should immediately reconsider his decision regarding Kolton Houston's eligibility. Here the facts:  Houston has never played a down in college. He arrived in Athens early as a freshman following shoulder surgery and tested positive for the anabolic steroid Norandrolone. This failed test for PEDs brought on a one-year suspension, which he served in year one. The following February, Houston failed a drug test once again for the same exact substance and was immediately ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA. The school appealed this ruling providing copious results from self-administrated drug tests that demonstrated the amounts in Houston’s system had been gradually decreasing (or at least they plateaued.) With detailed testing provided, the NCAA ruled in favor of Georgia and removed “permanent” from Houston’s ineligibility.

This is the time of year when Richt can let himself go. “I usually grow it...

It's hard to tell if Richt is losing it because the latest arrest of a Georgia player or something else that's finally made Richt snap. And yes, someone's already...

Georgia Football: Aaron Murray Must Mature Fast

I remember a quotation by Rudyard Kipling; “If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. . . . the world will be yours and everything in it; what's more, you'll be a man, my son.” Most quarterbacks don't understand this in today's football.

Image by BassinDawg Watts Dantzler: Richt said Dantzler has a more serious edge mentally this year, and he added that Theus may be providing some of the motivation. The 6-6, 309-pound Theus was a top-five tackle prospect nationally according to Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPN.com. "John and I have been good friends for three or four years now," Dantzler said.
