Sorry guys, not a big fan of the new UGA helmets.
Yes, we respect Georgia’s country fanbase, but puhleeze – we much prefer the classic red ones as it has been since time and memorial.
If they ARE going to change it, why don’t they simply change to a black helmet for the ‘black out’ and nothing more, nothing less?
What do you think?

Georgia has added its 19th recruit of the 2013 season: Rico Johnson.
Johnson, out of Swainsboro, Georgia, accepted after being offered a place at Saturday's Mark Richt camp, the AJC reported.
He told the paper: "That was my dream school; I always wanted to go there," he said. “I told myself if I ever got an offer from Georgia, that would be the school I would go to.”
He isn't listed in any of Rivals' rankings after swapping high schools, the AJC said, but added Appalachian State and Marshall had both offered him scholarships.
Thankfully, the 'Big Dawgs' came calling.

We normally don't do de-commitments, but when it's one of the nation's top high school running backs, we're happy to get some words in.
Derrick Henry, formerly a commitment for the Georgia Bulldogs, decided Athens is not going to be his home after all.
He said in a statement - covered by the AJC said:
“This has been a great experience getting to know so many great coaches and visiting some of the best college football programs in the country. Even though I’ve worked really hard to put myself in this situation, I know I’m blessed to have this opportunity I’m very thankful for that.
“For

Just when you thought it was safe to put away your cowbell, Mississippi State has just received three more major commitments - both on the attacking side of the ball.
First of all, four-star running back Kailo Moore, who hails from Rosedale, Mississippi, opted to play for Dan Mullen's 2013 class. Moore ran for nearly 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns for West Bolivar, and he's got frightening speed. He's Rivals' No.12 running back in the nation, and the second in the state.
To make matters worse for in-state rival Ole Miss, he originally committed to play for the Rebels, but decided to go to

Georgia has beaten Georgia Tech to the commitment for 4-star linebacker Naim Mustafaa, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported.
He told the AJC: “I made my decision about a week ago; I just had to come down to Georgia and tell them face to face. It just came down to where I wanted to be, really. Georgia Tech and Georgia are both great schools. I had to choose one.”
Mustafaa is the son of seven-year NFL veteran Reggie Rutland, who played for Georgia Tech.
However, Saturday was not all good news for Bulldogs fans.
They had battled it out for in-state offensive linesman JP Vonashek

The Atlanta media is already fretting about Georgia recruiting, and it isn't even football season yet.
On the AJC's website, the paper says: "Derrick Henry: Should UGA be worried about 5-star tailback visiting Alabama?"
Henry, you remember, was seen as one of Georgia's biggest recruiting coups when he plumped for the Bulldogs in July.
But Alabama has four things in its favour. Firstly, the Tide have just won a National Championship - its second in three years. Secondly, the school's last two running backs were Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson - who ended up being quite good, by the way.

The Georgia Bulldogs have extended the contract of their sometime under-fire coach, Mark Richt, the school announced today.
The three-year extension will mean that Richt - who still has two years running onto his contract - will stay with the Dawgs until the 2016 season - if he's not let go (which is always a risk in the SEC).
Last year Richt led Georgia from a 0-2 hole to winning the SEC East. They played well in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta before dropped passes eventually got the better of them and LSU won handily.

It's been widely reported but this is the news out of Florida - the Georgia Bulldogs have gone down south and grabbed wide receiver Reggie Davis.

Giant Georgia recruit John Atkins will not be able to report to his first UGA training camp after failing to get the required score on his ACT, the Atlanta Journal- Constitution has reported.
The 6 ft 4, 325-lb defensive linesman, who signed for the Bulldogs in February told the paper that he failed the test by "just one point", and will therefore have to be redshirted for his first season.
He said: "I’m going to get it [the test score], and I feel like I can get it. I’m going to tutoring all week on how to take it. I’ll be ready for it.”
He will be working out at his high school,
