Call for the mailbag

Yeah, I know it's been awhile. But now the (men's) basketball team's run is over, and football is (really) starting spring practice. So it's as good a time as any to have some mailbag fun.

You can ask about football practice. You can ask about the basketball offseason. You may ask about other sports. You could even ask about off-the-wall subjects, and if you have movie references, maybe this time I'll get more than just the "Airplane" ones.

Post your questions in the comment section below, or send me an e-mail (semerson@macon.com), and again, if at all possible, please keep the question to a reasonable length.

I'm going to go clean the pollen off my car, and maybe get a workout in. As always, once there are enough questions, I'll make up some answers and post a mailbag. Fire away.

  2. Any idea what numbers the incoming freshmen will be wearing this fall?

  3. If you sub Joe Johnson and Josh Smith for Tompkins and Leslie would the Hawks have lost to the Bulls by less than 20 last night?

    ReplyDelete
  4. The football schedule looks easy enough. What are reasonable expectations for high end and low end for the season?

    ReplyDelete
  5. What in your opinion was the reason for the hoops team's repeated blowing of leads in so many games?

    My impression may be lack of a bench but I defer to someone who might actually know something about roundball.

  6. 4-star Kevin Ware is expected to get his release from Tenn., and he has indicated UGA would be on his short list. However, AJC has reported that UGA is full unless both Thompkins and Leslie move on. Any chance of Ware coming to Georgia? I expect he'll want to make a decision before the NBA opt-out deadline.

  7. As part of the new nutrition program, our players were having to take pictures of their food to get it approved before eating it. How is that going? Did it last?

  8. Has anyone from the NFL been showing any interest in Kris Durham?

    He seems to have the height and speed(see B. Finneran)but after the issues with QB yesterday I don't think he got a fair deal. Most of the scouts left and the ESPN3 feed was focused on A.J. anyway. I will give David Pollack credit for at least talking him up.I think he deserves a camp invite at the least.

  9. What has been decided about UGA? Is Russ to open the season? Have they been working on a new blood line?

    ReplyDelete
  10. What are your thoughts on Alec Ogletree moving to LB? His size would seem to make him a pretty good Safety but not sure if he'd be the same calibre at LB.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Do you feel proud that the Tech Troll and his multiple anonymous sockpuppets obsesses over this place?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I second the question about Uga, please tell me they are infusing some new blood.

  13. Am I reasonable to label all people who disagree with me as a Tech Troll?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Do you think Ealey stays or transfers?

  15. What is Bobo doing to try & improve an offense that only averaged 18 a game against winning teams?

  16. Why has Richt won less games than the year before 7 out of last 8 seasons--what are the top 3 reasons?

  17. Are you single? I have the perfect girl for you.

  18. Against winning teams, how did Murray compare to other SEC QB's last season?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Odds that Murray & Crowell & Jenkins start against Boise?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Will coach Richt ever consider going back yo the real silver britches instead of the dull gray pants?

    ReplyDelete
  21. From the looks of some photos of spring practice on Georgiadogs.com some football players look like they havent made to much headway in strength and or conditioning. Seth have you noticed any differences close up?

  25. Did you hire a hitman to take out the guy that always corrects your grammar, have not seen post by him lately?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Seth,

    "Team's" is not correct in your second line. Please correct. Ok?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Why no arrests this offseason? Are the players more disciplined or has their apathy regarding acheivements finally impacting their criminal tendencies?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Do we have any chances at sec or national titles this spring ? Looks like just softball and mens tennis or is the a under the radar team

    ReplyDelete
  29. So much for grammar guy he has risen from the dead

    ReplyDelete
  30. I like how I was able to summon the Tech Troll just by mentioning him. He's either the Nerd version of the Candyman, or he constantly refreshes his browser at this place. So amusing.

    Here's another: What do you think about the Tech Troll creating fully formed aliases over at the AJC complete with backstories? His "I'm a Delta stewardess" routine was as amusing as it was disturbing.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Who works in the ticket office and why is it so poorly run?

    ReplyDelete
  32. 5 min response wow grammar guy Seth was right you do have no life

    ReplyDelete
  33. I second the question about the silver pants vs. light gray pants. I'm beyond sick of the gray.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Seth was is your favorite away sec stadium to go to for a game?

    ReplyDelete
  35. There is fight between Chuck Norris and Herschel Walker who wins and why.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Seth,

    I am super sensitive to anything bad being written about Georgia. I usually label these bloggers as Tech Trolls. Is this a good tactic or would you recommend something else?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Seth,
    There's currently a debate among nutritionists over low-carb vs. low-fat diets. Can you find out which side our nutritionists are on?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Heard a rumor that when Seth goes out in Athens that so many coeds throw themselves at him that he had to go buy a fake wedding ring to wear around to ward some of them off. Is this true or an urban legend?

  39. What is your favorite Katy Perry song and why?

  40. Seth,

    If you need someone, sort of like how I use to be a hall monitor back in grammar school, to monitor these blogs, so I can make sure all the posts sort of agree with me, I'll be happy to volunteer. I tend to only like the posts that agree with me. I have no use for the other ones. Would that be helpful, my teachers used to love it?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Seth,

    If Travis Leslie comes back, we'll have Ware, Robinson, and Caldwell-Pope. Not a bad perimeter but clearly the big boys down low will be an issue. Can address the prospects of John Florveus and Tim Dixon being able to contribute in an impactful way next year? Or are we just looking to run and gun? Florveus sounds like he could have an immediate impact but at 7 foot, 215 pounds, that's rail thin. He's going to get pushed around some.

  42. What's the latest on Richard Samuel? I was really excited to see what he could do at inside linebacker and it seems Ogletree has already passed him on the depth chart without ever playing the position.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Do you think Leslie passes up millions to play another year again? I've read he's a top 20 pick.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hi Seth-

    I have very poor debating skills. So I label people as Tech Trolls, grammar guy, and such. Is this effective?

    ReplyDelete
  45. What's up with Malcome? I thought he'd be starting last year, now with Crowell, Thomas, King & Ealey, will he ever start for Georgia?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Russ for UGA IX in '011March 23, 2011 at 1:06 PM

    Is Pereno on the Hot Seat?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Seth - speculation on who might be the source for Peter King's column about AJ Green on Tuesday? Obviously you have to take with a grain of salt, but comments about his practice habits seem to indicate that it would be a current or former coach/player.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Has ESPN contacted the university yet regarding a 30 for 30 special on Richt's Dream Team?

    ReplyDelete
  49. This, from NC Dawg:

    4-star Kevin Ware is expected to get his release from Tenn., and he has indicated UGA would be on his short list. However, AJC has reported that UGA is full unless both Thompkins and Leslie move on. Any chance of Ware coming to Georgia? I expect he'll want to make a decision before the NBA opt-out deadline.

    I, too, would like to hear more.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Seth,

    Like many Georgia fans, I cannot go more than six minutes without hearing something about football. Can you recommend professional help for me?

    ReplyDelete
  51. What was the deal with that QB Roper not being able to throw to AJ? Buford is closer to Athens than it is Atlanta. Seems trivial to me.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Can you cover the WR issue more? Who do you think will step up more? Wooten or Marlon Brown?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Do you laugh or cry when you read these questions?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Have you checked the Athens jail blotter lately to make sure that none of the players are flying under the radar? You think UGA could be Fulmer Cup champions again?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Seth,

    I think I can answer the question from Anon 12:04 PM.

    - If you were to add Spurrier and Coach Ditka to the mix, then you are talking abou the final (deleted) chapter of Revelation.

    In which case Herschel would force the visor to watch reruns of his 1968 game against Stanfill and the Dawgs, force Chuck Norris into tears in a corner (or against the cage if they are in the octagon together), and have Coach do pushups till he can no longer move his arms. Amen.

  56. LMAO at the Tech Troll. Dude, your syntax/arguments are the same. In every post. Next thing you'll tell us that Georgia lost to Mickey Mouse U, something about Bobby Knight, something about how Washaun should be the starter, something about how LeMay should be the starter, something about how Aaron is short, something about how we ran off ZMett, and on and on while your program crumbles into dust.

    You're so transparent it's hilarious. If it wasn't so sad. And you'd do the same thing over at Westerdawg's and the Senator's, but they monitor comments and delete your nonsense. Seriously, go back to the Hive. Go back to Jeff Schultz. Your game is weak.
