Georgia suspends two
Bruce Figgins and Justin Houston have been suspended for violating team rules, coach Mark Richt announced Saturday. Figgins, a junior tight end, was suspended for the first six games of the 2009 season and Houston, a redshirt sophomore defensive end, for the first two games. A third player, junior wide receiver Tony Wilson, also violated team rules, Richt announced, but he was not suspended because he is in the process of being medically disqualified from competition because of a slow recovery from a severe ankle injury suffered in spring 2008. Richt did not disclose the rules violated.

Not sure what these guys did, but it musta been somewhat serious. UGA can ill afford to lose any more people from a D-line that, from what I hear, is already thin. For Houston to get suspended, it must not have been a minor infraction.

UGA had an OL in the 1984 Cotton Bowl that was a great tackler. ****ing got away with it too, I still think the refs were paid off. But anyway, that was 25 years ago, so he might have a kid that's about college age. UGA should consider recruiting him for their D-line. If daddy taught him how to tacke, he should be really good at it.
.......... not that I would hold a grudge for a quarter century or anything.

Good lord! Wasn't that in 1965 or so? Not sure what the statute of limitations is on grudges, but.........
But to sneak in an "on point" comment, does anyone know how big a deal the "rule violation" was? How long is this suspension expected to be for? What does UGA's D-line depth chart look like without Houston? Could they stop a running attack by Tulane? Or even Texas A&M? They're in a ****ing brutal conference.

I stand corrected (actually "sit" corrected). I didn't expect Houston would be sidelined for more than just the Tennessee Tech game, but Richt surprised me.
Having him out for the Ok St game might hurt more than having him out for the South Carolina game, unless the Gamecocks improve a good bit on offense.

As rhythm & blues evolved into mainstream rock & roll (I was and still am hopelessly addicted to both), the genre was condemned wholesale by older generations. Swore I'd never do that. I do not care for hip hop. I do not care for other popular music styles that don't harken back to the soul of Robert Johnson. But I don't claim that my not liking something precludes it from being good.
Exception is disco. It sucks. Always sucked. Always will suck.

Tin Man picked out the song "Get Your Hands out of My Pockets".

Perhaps, South Central Cartel was inspired by the autobiography of Malcolm X. Twice emphasized in the film version, SOP for Nation of Islam assassins was a diversion by an accomplice positioned opposite the gunmen. He would shout, "Get your hand out of my pocket!" The crowd (and target(s)) would turn their attention towards the person shouting, and the gunmen would open fire.

Hip hop started in the late seventies. While some were going punk and others going disco, DJs from the Caribbean were setting up in the mean streets of New York City. From this scene sprung up rythms, sounds, and dance moves. Lythe street urchins wearing "goodwill" pants several sizes too large not only improvised unseen moves, but started a new fashion trend still plaguing the US to this day ("Pull you pants up!").

So "crackers" is PI but "honkies" is okay. Hard to keep track of these things.
