Athens sculptor completing Herschel Walker statue
Stan Mullins is at it again, and he has some really big plans this time.
The local Athens artist and sculptor known best for the statue of Vince Dooley on South Campus is already at work on his next project – a statue of Herschel Walker. He’s well under way on the clay work and figures he ought to be done before the end of the October.
“The hope is to get Herschel down here to help me finish it himself,” said Mullins, a UGA art school grad. “He said he would. He’s such a hands-on guy and he’s totally down with it.”
Stan Mullins is well on his way toward finishing his Herschel Walker sculpture in clay.
Mullins said the sculpture he’s making is from a picture by Athens photographer Wingate Downs of Walker as a freshman against Auburn in 1980.
That’s not all Mullins is working on. He has also completed clay sculptures of Georgia’s other two Heisman Trophy winners, Frank Sinkwich and Charley Trippi.
Where might these works go, you might ask? Well, Mullins has some big hopes in that regard.
In what Mullins calls his “Crowns of Glory Project,” he envisions statues of the Bulldogs’ great tailbacks being on the four corners of the property housing Sanford Stadium.

UGA WR Isaiah McKenzie investigated for alleged verbal threat
By STAFF REPORTS
[email protected] – updated Tuesday, September 29, 2015 - 4:18pm2 comments
Athens-Clarke County police Tuesday said they were investigating a woman’s complaint that University of Georgia wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie directed a death threat at her.
The woman, identified in a police report as a UGA student, told police McKenzie told her he was “going to call some friends and they were going to come out and he was going to kill her.”
McKenzie starts as a wide receiver for the Bulldogs, but also is making his mark on special teams. Considered by some to be among the top punt returners in the country, he returned a punt in the Vanderbilt game this month 77 yards for a touchdown. That left him one punt return touchdown away from Georgia’s career record of four held by Buzy Rosenberg (1970-72).

"Barkin' up the wrong tree"
Tough for me to asses this piece without wearing Red and Black glasses so I'd love some BP take. Sounds like they're already making excuses for us if we lose to Alabama. :(
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...ards-missing-national-championships/73099452/
It starts out with this suicide inducing opening:
Draw a 350-mile circle around this idyllic college town, and within it you’ll find seven college football programs that have won a combined 14 national titles since the last time the Georgia Bulldogs reached the pinnacle in 1980.
Obligatory "We try to do things the right way" fragment:
And though the drought may be mostly a product of happenstance, it is also true that Georgia’s nearly endless supply of natural resources has been counterbalanced by an institutional ethos that makes it more difficult for the school to be a year-in, year-out superpower in the hyper-competitive SEC.
“Georgia football has tried to do things the right way,” said Richard Tucker, a member of the University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents and a prominent supporter of the school’s athletic program. “UGA is more to me than just football.”
Whether it’s academics, commitment to building high-end athletic facilities, marijuana testing policies or intolerance for off-field behavioral issues, the perception — and in many cases the reality — is that Georgia holds itself to a slightly higher standard than the programs it is compared with annually on the field.
FAX AND EVIDENTS:
Three recent high-profile examples speak to the differences between Georgia and its Southeastern Conference counterparts. In 2013, Auburn came within one play of the national title led by a quarterback, Nick Marshall, who was dismissed from Georgia along with two other players over an on-campus theft. That same year LSU started quarterback Zach Mettenberger, a former Georgia player who was kicked out after groping a woman and pleading guilty to sexual battery. Earlier this summer, Alabama was willing to take on another dismissed Georgia player in defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor, whose offenses included a pending domestic violence charge. He was accused of another domestic incident at Alabama and dismissed shortly thereafter.

He really needs to learn how to talk to a woman properly. Maybe he should transfer to Florida State:
"They kept telling me they were football players," the woman said. "They kept telling me to Google them. They told me they were football players and they could buy me in two years."

No. Reads to me like they're applauding Georgia for remaining competitive without selling their soul & spending recklessly.

Bien. Bien chiludo.
I thought you were taking this thread a whole new Romper-type direction.
As for the content of your post, it remind me of something along the lines of what @Jaxbuck used to comment regarding the Tressel years (paraphrased): "Yes, the defense is good, but that doesn't mean we have to have a just-good-enough offense. Why not score a shitload of points?"
People/Groups that have success in some areas, but not others will attempt to justify their sucktitude in other arenas by spouting off their greatness elsewhere. That's what I take away from the points you posted above.
