Georgia coach Mark Richt says offensive tackle Kolton Houston is still ineligible because he continues to test positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance he was given for a shoulder surgery more than two years ago. Houston was Georgia's No. 1 right tackle at the end of spring practice. Richt says Georgia, which opens practice on Thursday, must prepare to be without the third-year sophomore. Richt says Georgia's medical staff hopes the substance, 19-norandrosterone, will eventually leave Houston's system. Documents released Thursday by Georgia included an email received Tuesday from NCAA president Mark Emmert, who denied Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity's request for a special exemption for Houston. Richt said Georgia's staff is ''100-percent certain'' Houston ''has not continued to take this thing.'' Houston can practice with the team.

One Day Closer to Houston?

Via Leather Helmet Blog  |  August 03, 2012
There is not enough bandwidth available for me to list all that is wrong with NCAA. The Kolton Houston case is one more example of institutional failue. Mr. Houston's only hope is that the banned substance that he was given by physician over 2 and half years ago falls below the threshold level for a positive test. If not, he will not have a college athletic career. Thankfully...

Georgia fans received more bad news today. Kolton Houston will remain ineligible to participate due to a positve test for a banned performance enhancing substance.  Houston, a redshirt freshman offensive tackle from Buford, was ineligible last season due to what Georgia would say is only was “an NCAA issue.” But according to 10 pages of documents and letters released to...

VIDEO: Mark Richt Talks About His Expectations for Malcolm Mitchell

Via The Lady Sportswriter  |  August 03, 2012
By this point we all know that Malcolm Mitchell—Georgia’s breakout star on offense last season—will be playing defense this season as well. However, to this point, it was tough to say how much his defensive duties would take away from his offensive ones; Richt gives a little more insight here—although it’s easy to tell he’s not trying to give away too much.

Georgia Recruiting: Does 2013 WR Marquez North Favor the Dawgs?

Marquez North hasn’t made his college decision just yet, but with the depth chart at Georgia looking pretty thin at wide receiver, the addition of North to the 2013 class would be a good one. At 6’4″, 200+ pounds, North offers good size to go with his above-average speed (4.4) and playmaking ability; and despite his lanky frame, he has as much ability to play physical at the...

(h/t carlmilton) I love vintage videos like this one—the Larry Munson factor alone makes it worthy of my time. Said Munson at the time: “…this was a championship team, Alabama was supposed to be the team that we had to beat that year—at least as far as the conference was concerned—and we did. I remember the game was played at  our place. And I also remember that particular...

Yesterday's announcement that a reserve outside linebacker (Chase Vassar) will be suspended for the Missouri game has caused an exodus from the Georgia bandwagon.  It is a good thing that pundits don't play the game.
