  1. ATHENS — Cash Jones had no idea what to do with his hands. The redshirt sophomore had just scored a critical touchdown in Georgia’s game against South Carolina, as his 13-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pushed Georgia’s lead to 24-14. So Jones, whose first name is short for his mother’s maiden name Cashion, thought quickly and decided to imitate a similarly undersized Texas football player as he rubbed his fingers together to celebrate. “Johnny Manziel,” Jones said of his inspiration for the touchdown. “He carried the legacy of the celebration.” Jones is not going to be a Heisman Trophy winner they make Netflix documentaries about. But he’s become an important piece of the Georgia offense so far this season. Injuries have decimated the running back room, as Branson Robinson is out for the season and Georgia could very well be without Kendall Milton and Roderick Robinson this weekend. “I just try to control the controllables,” Jones said. “I hate it for them, so I’m just trying to do the best for me and the team and just try to help us win whichever way possible.” Jones earned rave reviews during fall camp, emerging as one of the true bright spots at the running back position for Georgia. His pass-catching ability was something that separated him from Georgia’s other running backs. Those skills were on display during Georgia’s win over Ball State, when Jones made a nifty 27-yard touchdown grab on a pass from Carson Beck. Through the first three games of the season, Jones has 7 carries for 29 yards and 7 receptions for 67 yards, to go along with his two touchdowns. His touchdown against South Carolina was a big moment for the walk-on, who at one point during his recruitment was committed to New Mexico State before deciding to walk on at Georgia. “Coach (Dell) McGee, he did a good job throughout my recruitment process,” Jones said. “He called me quite a bit. He said that the scholarship spots were full. I felt like I had the best opportunity to really grow more and into my full potential here. It’s definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I couldn’t be more blessed than to be in this situation.” Daijun Edwards removes all doubt as he powers Georgia football offense on career day Jones was a four-sport athlete in high school, playing baseball, basketball and track at Brock High School in Brock, Texas. Jones says baseball was his second best sport but he also won a state championship as a sprinter. He arrived at Georgia ahead of the 2021 season but was injured and needed ankle surgery. His first moment in the sun came against Vanderbilt in 2022, scoring his first touchdown on a 36-yard run. Jones has shown an uncanny ability to find the endzone, scoring 3 touchdowns on his 19 career touchdowns to this point. “He’s awesome. He’s one of the hardest working people on our team,” offensive lineman Dylan Fairchild said. “He comes in everyday and gets the job done. He’s been a really good player and a good teammate.” But his latest touchdown felt different, Jones admits. It didn’t come during garbage time but at an important junction in an SEC game. Jones is no longer just another successful walk-on for Georgia with a cool name. He’s a key player at a position of need for the Bulldogs. and for completeness - https://www.si.com/college/georgia/football/kirby-smart-details-the-importance-of-walk-ons-within-the-georgia-program
  2. Cash Jones Position: RB Height: 6-0 Weight: 182 Class: Junior Hometown: Brock, Texas High School: Brock 2023: Played in all 14 games for the Bulldogs…rushed for 161 yards and one touchdown on 22 attempts, adding 11 catches for 92 yards and one TD...Caught 27-yard touchdown pass in win over Ball State...ran for 13-yard touchdown in win over South Carolina, also catching an 11-yard pass...recorded three carries for 65 yards, including a 57-yard rush, in win at Vanderbilt...had two tackles and a forced fumble in win over Florida State in the Capital One Orange Bowl. Georgia provided Jones with a preferred walk-on opportunity, one that the back found too good to pass up. “Coach McGee, he did a good job throughout my recruitment process. He called me quite a bit,” Jones said. “I felt like I had the best opportunity to really grow more and into my full potential here.Sep 21, 2023
  3. Bump occurred more than 5 yards past LOS. DPI.

  5. Nah, 1 of one dozens of the other.
  6. That's the way I feel about all the Hamas leaders and the Iranian enablers.
  7. They better be fast because most patients go home the same day.
  8. A man cannot live on rice, almonds and Skittle drinks alone.
  9. At safety we have Derek Williams, Michael Taaffe, and Andrew Mukuba followed by Jelani McDonald, Xavier Filsaime, and Jordon Johnson-Rubell. At star we have Jahdrae Barron, Jaylon Guilbeau, Austin Jordan, and Jelani McDonald and Andrew Mukuba. My guess is that Mukuba will see the field a ton as will Taaffe and Williams. Also, my guess is that safety play will be much better this year.
  10. They are rare unless you include recreational boats. https://www.tuscaloosa.com/__aws/media/6553702_bridge-strikes-.pdf In the period from 1960 to 2015, there have been 18 bridge catastrophes in the U.S. that occurred due to ship and barge collisions with bridges over navigable waterways. United States Coast Guard (USCG) study of towing vessels and barge collisions with bridges located on the U.S. inland waterway system during the 10-year period from 1992 to 2001 revealed that there were 2,692 accidents with bridgesv. Only 61 of these accidents caused bridge damage in excess of US$500,000 (1,702 caused very minor damage with no repair costs to the bridge), and none resulted in fatalities.
  11. But doesn’t history repeat itself? I know on Surly, I hear the same story daily, like it’s being told by a senile old man.
  12. Yes, and overall he probably only speaks for a couple of minutes. - We need to combat low cost drones and we need to develop low cost weapons systems.
  13. Well, we are losing Sweat and Murphy as triple threat blocker, running back, and receiver.
  14. Oh, please, may "shut your white mouth" find its place in the surly lexicon. I believe he meant to say "shut your fucking white whore mouth".
  15. Sorrell is a specimen and has improved each year. Burke is very good. Moore is very good. The younger guys are coming along. We will be very strong at edge.
  16. So if Dindy transfers to an SEC school then he has to sit out a year?
