The football team has been hunkering down for spring practice over the past month to try and improve for the upcoming season. Mark Richt and his staff will take part in the annual G-Day scrimmage this Saturday. Fans will pack Sanford Stadium for an early preview of this year’s team.
Keep an eye out for middle linebacker Amarlo Herrera as he will be replacing Alec Ogletree. Herrera has game-time experience, and it should be interesting to see how defensive coordinator Todd Grantham utilizes him in his game plan.
The University of Georgia Athletic Association and Nike are now in a partnership to provide state-of-the-art jerseys for the football team, men’s and women’s basketball teams and track and field teams.
The updated uniforms offer the university a “consistent, distinctive” look for all the athletic teams with an updated letter and number font. Even though changes and improvisations were made, Nike still implemented the rich tradition of the Georgia “G” as the university’s primary logo. The changes appear to be a hit with the team.
“I feel great in them,” said Aaron Murray. “When you put them on you feel like you’re not wearing much. It’s a lot more flexible and breathable. I really enjoy wearing them.”
CHANGE NEEDED …
The Diamond Dawgs have a chance to stop the season-long bleeding with a winning streak this weekend. Ever since Georgia won an early March series against Liberty, the team has not been able to put together a winning streak. Georgia has just four wins since March 9. After beating KSU Tuesday, the team welcomes in Missouri this weekend.
LADY DOGS BOUNCED …
Playing in its first Elite Eight game since 2004, the fourth-seeded UGA women’s basketball team lost in overtime to the second-seeded California Golden Bears 65-62 in Spokane, Wash., on Monday night. Georgia had three players eclipse double-digit points and even led by double digits at one point in the second half, but the team could not hold off a fierce rally by the Golden Bears.
When regulation ended and overtime began, California looked like a different team, scoring nine straight points to put the game out of reach. Georgia made the final score look more respectable with a couple of free throws in the final seconds.
The loss ended the Lady Dogs’ run in March Madness just days after the team upset the top-seeded Stanford Cardinal.
