Are You Georgia?

As always, feel free to agree or disagree. And for future recommendations, shoot me an email at originalblawger@bulldawgblawg.com.

I'm Olandis Gary, and I'm Georgia

Olandis Gary is one of my all time favorite Georgia tailbacks. He came to Georgia as a transfer from Marshall when Jim Donnan was hired. He sat out the '96 season, and then was a solid contributor in '97 and '98. He eventually won the starting job in '98 and was named MVP of the 1998 Peach Bowl, rushing for 110 yards and two touchdowns. My favorite play of his career was his late touchdown run against Florida in 1997. It was only about five yards, but it was straight up awesome.

I'm Jasper Sanks, and I'm Georgia...kind of

This one really pains me. I liked Jasper as a tailback; however, it's hard to be Georgia when you are dismissed from the football team. When Sanks signed, he seemed destined for stardom, but it just never panned out. I don't think he ever got over his two fumbles in '99. The one that ended our shot at beating Florida, and the fumble that wasn't. The Deaner says Jasper was a star-crossed Bulldog, and I'd have to agree.

I'm Brandon Williams, and I'm not Georgia

Brandon Williams brought new meaning to the phrase coming out of the closet. He was also friends with Tony Cole. Enough said.
