1.  Athletic director Damon Evans had to come to the defense of Mark Richt yesterday.  (Good thing he’s not on the hot seat, eh, Dawg fans?) 

“… Our head coach is very good at what he does, and I have the utmost confidence Mark Richt will continue to lead us in the right direction. … I know (Richt) will evaluate his program at the end of the season, as he always does.”

2.  Mark Bradley of The AJC interprets Evans’ comments to mean, “I’m with you, Coach, but I also want action.”

3.  At least one Georgia player thinks criticism of Richt’s calm demeanor is silly.

4.  Former UGA quarterback Buck Belue took on the Georgia fanbase yesterday. 

“How do you leave early, when the LSU-Georgia game outcome hangs in the balance?  What’s up with the showing up tardy?  How lame is all that garbage that was left behind by tailgaters?  Embarrassing.  Have another 6-pack and scream about firing (Willie) Martinez and (Mike) Bobo some more.”

Wow.
