I agree ! with halwelch.

College football players shouldn’t be booed by their ‘so called’ fans. IC’ expectations were very high coming into the season. I think every UGA fan has been looking for the next Herschel for over 30 years now. Ain’t gon happen okay y’all. If Samual could have stayed healthy and so much pressure not put on IC maybe he would have done more. I have to admit he was a little disapointing at times. Like I said we needed someone to step up. Could have beat USC and maybe Michigan State with any kind of bruising running game at all. Oh well? We’ll be back out there cheering them on come fall in Athens. That’s what we do!!

GO DAWGS!!

Yeah right dude. Kniles is good but he’s not nearly as dominant as latti. Latti puts his numbers up when defenses are ready for it. He doesn’t have the comfort of Arkansas passing game. And to call his instincts better is ridiculous. Marcus’s vision on the field is completely incomparable to any other running back out there.

again, he was not booed in mass by UGA fans. I like ADB went to every home game, 3 away games, the cocktail party and the SEC CG and HE was NOT booed the way its been described. Did some lame ass boo him? I’m sure they did… but what people heard on TV was the ENTIRE UGA fan base “booing” for Boo Malcome. Any fan UGA or otherwise who boos an athlete like IC deserves to be held up by the fans around him while the athlete he boos kicks him in the nuts… he should also have his team colors stripped off his back and sent home naked, with bruised nuts but I digress… UGA fans including myself were not terribly happy at the end of the season with IC for a myriad of reasons, but booing as it’s been reported did not happen.

Knile Daivs is a better RB than Lattimore. Davis is faster, stronger, has better instincts, and will have a better team around him.

I know nothing about Crowell being booed by his own fans. If UGA fans are booing him, they should be ashamed of themselves. I don’t see their butts dressed out and on the field!
As for Crowell “Running for the Heisman”….what Div I-A college football player ISN’T running for the Heisman?! That’s like saying “This year I this I’ll run for a championship”…..EVERYONE wants to win a championship! Big whoopty-do! Isaiah Crowell wants to win the Heisman! GET IN LINE!

Isaiah can run for whatever he wants. However, Marcus Lattimore should win the Heisman this year. Admittedly, UGA has a cupcake schedule and Crowell will probably have some nice stats. But Lattimore is going to be the real deal in the SEC this year.

I saw 6 UGA games live this year. Including the SEC championship. I certainly heard Crowell being BOOED at The Georgia Dome during that game. I’ve been a fan since 1979 and have been to hundreds of games. I would recognize fans booing a player when I hear it. Also he was booed in other games as well. Let’s get the FACTS out there.

Crowell’s first season was Okay. He had some moments. He had some not so good moments. We certainly could have used him to step up a couple of games and he simply wasn’t there. I personally never boo a college athlete. I think it’s kind of ‘low class’ boo the pro’s all you want. They’re getting paid. Boo coaching staff calls they’re being paid millions. Booing a college player who’s more than likely playing for nothing more than a scholarship. And is playing at UGA etc because he really does want to represent that school. I would never boo a player.

Crowell needs to know the football team needs him. To be there and to act like a ‘star’ on and off the field. I think he may do this. We’ll see.

well hell I’ve seen every player and coach on the team get booed… and that’s not exclusive to UGA or Crowell. But this example of what happened at the SEC CG has been blown waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of proportion.

Good point about the names that sound like “boo”, because that happens often. However, I have personally witnessed UGA fans booing Crowell as he left the field, especially coming from the student section. Not the sec championship specifically, but at other games.

for the umteenth thousandth time… he was not booed by Georgia fans in the Georgia Dome. He exited the field and Ken “BOO” Malcome came on. We have always “Boooed” when Boo Malcome took the field or did something good, as we have when several others who had that same sound in their names– Musa Smith always heard “Mooooosa”, Bruce Figgins hears “Bruuuuucce”. Stop being a sensational writer and make the transition to journalist… you’ll feel better about yourself when you do.
