Bulldogs look to establish themselves as contenders at National Indoor tournament

By on February 16, 2012

When asked about Friday’s match against California in the opening round of the ITA National Indoor Championship in Charlottesville, Va., Georgia men’s tennis player KU Singh had a simple message. “Yeah – just got to win it,” Singh said. That’s the idea anyway, for the No. 4 Bulldogs, who have their sights on nothing but the [...]

Sanders Commings

Commings’ absence cause for concern against Missouri

By on February 16, 2012

The 2012 football season is still months away, but the Bulldogs are already at less than full capacity. Georgia head coach Mark Richt announced on Wednesday that defensive back Sanders Commings will be suspended the first two games of the 2012 season.

SEC regular season title race going down to wire

By on February 15, 2012

Last year, Tennessee went undefeated and won the Southeastern Conference by five games. That won’t happen this year. With four games left in the regular season, seven teams still have a mathematical chance to claim a regular season championship. In the 2010-2011 season, the Georgia women’s basketball finished third in the conference with a 10-6 [...]

JASMINE JAMES

Lady Dogs’ James happy to ‘get back into the swing of things’

By on February 11, 2012

Sometimes it seemed it was never going to end. Speculation grew with every passing game that point guard Jasmine James spent on the sidelines for the Georgia women’s basketball team. And last Sunday, it finally did. When Meredith Mitchell fell as she competed for a rebound in the second minute of the Lady Dogs game [...]

JOHN ISNER

Bulldog to pro, Isner defeats Federer in Davis Cup

By on February 11, 2012

He’s tall, lanky and the tennis racket in his hand looks oddly minuscule by comparison. The goofy grin that almost never leaves his face is reminiscent of a fraternity boy downtown on a Saturday night, not a professional tennis player who has established himself as one of the best Americans in the sport. And though he is [...]

Georgia/Auburn rivalry could be victim of SEC expansion

By on February 10, 2012

Could Georgia’s longstanding rivalry against Auburn be coming to an end? That was the question posed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Jeff Schultz on Wednesday. The “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry” began in 1892, and the only seasons the two didn’t face off against each other were 1917, 1918 and 1943. But the rivalry’s long history will not mean much [...]

DAVID PERNO

Diamond Dogs ‘overachieved’ in 2011

By on February 9, 2012

Georgia’s baseball team accomplished ends beyond its abilities last season, surpassing its own expectations. And that’s high praise from their head coach, David Perno. “What you want to do from a coach is reach potential,” he said. “Without a question, hands down, that team overachieved in getting to a regional.” In their 2011 campaign, Georgia [...]
