This interview was from a few weeks ago, but I just found it on YouTube. So enjoy!

Check out a little more than six minutes of conversation between UGA Head Football coach Mark Richt and Rece Davis on ESPN’s College Football Live.

Last UGA video from SEC Media Days today, I promise. This one is defensive lineman Jeff Owens.

As long as we’re posting video of SEC Media days, here’s one of UGA wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi.

UGA head football coach Mark Richt talks, yesterday, at SEC Media Days.

With the 3rd overall selection, the Atlanta Thrashers select defensiveman Zach Bogosian.  He is a hard-nose player who is also a very good passer.  He had 50 assists last year and was the only OHL player to lead his team (Peterborough) in points.  He is a very smart player and could make the roster this upcoming season.

Here are some videos of him playing…

With their second pick, the 29th overall, the Thrashers went offensive and got center Daultan Leveille.  The lefty scored 29 goals for St. Catharines last season and added 14 more in the playoffs.  3 of those 14 were game-winners.

Stay tuned for Day 2 picks tomorrow…

May 22, 1988 - Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals… the scene was the Boston Garden. It is a team game, but it was a battle between two future hall-of-famers…

The Celtics Larry Bird tangled all night with the Hawks Dominique Wilkins. In fact the Hawks had a chance to put away Boston two days earlier, but failed 102-100. The game went back-n-forth and was tied 99-99 with just under six minutes to play. Both stars scored 11 points each in the final 5:57 of action.

The Human Highlight Film finished with a game-high 47 points on an amazing 19-for-23 shooting from the floor. Larry Legend did his part, too. Scoring 34 points including 20 in the deciding 4th quarter. At the end the Celtics were the victors by the score of 118-116.

Here are some of the video highlights…

The Atlanta Thrashers, instead of putting together a playoff run, decided to put together a fan appreciation highlight video. You can watch it here, or go to the Atlanta Thrashers website to see it.

Dean Legge, Josh Kendall and Quentin Grant of Dawg Post talk about Georgia spring football practice and Georgia’s basketball program.

Saturday night’s Atlanta Hawks match-up with the Miami Heat marks an historic epic … well, they’re re-playing an extra 51.9 seconds from a December game where the officiating crew and scoring table forgot how to count. Al Horford wants you to get there early.
