Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie each scored 17 points for the Bulldogs. Leslie pulled down 8 rebounds while Thompkins finished with 7.The Dawgs got some decent help from the bench from Vincent Williams (7 points) and Jeremy Price (8 points).
Georgia held a 10-point lead in the first half, but then fell behind by 8 with 15:06 remaining in the game. From that point forward, the Bulldogs outscored the Commodores 42-20, proving that they actually can grab the lead late and keep it.

Warren Belin has been named the new linebackers coach at Georgia, the school announced Friday. Belin held the same position with the Vanderbilt Commodores since 2002.
Belin, an alumnus of Wake Forest, has coached college football for 20 years. He was praised by UGA head coach Mark Richt for his linebacker teachings at Vandy. Listed below is his coaching history:
- 1991 – Cornell; linebackers
- 1992 - East Tennessee State; linebackers
- 1993-94 – Cornell; linebackers
- 1995-96 - William & Mary; defensive line (1995); linebackers (1996)
- 1997-01 - SMU; linebackers
- 2002-09 - Vanderbilt Commodores; linebackers; recruiting coordinator (2008-09); special teams coordinator (2006-07)
Mark Richt (from UGA Sports Communications):
“Warren has had some of the best linebackers and tacklers in the league for years,” said Richt. “I’ve always admired his work at Vandy and people have been talking to me about him for quite a while. When Todd (Grantham) and I interviewed him, we were very impressed with his knowledge of the game, schemes, and fundamentals. He’s going to be a perfect mentor for our players as well.”
Warren Belin (from UGA Sports Communications):
“I’m looking forward to the next step in my career with Coach Richt and the opportunity to compete for SEC and national championships. I look forward to working with Coach Grantham, Coach Garner and Coach Lakatos in installing the new defensive package. My wife and family are excited about the opportunity to become part of the Athens community, Bulldog Nation and the great tradition at UGA.”

A new 2028 Georgia Bulldogs football recruit is on the way! My son, and first born, is due on Signing Day, February 3, 2010. Due to his impending arrival, there will likely be no Sicemdawgs.com coverage of Signing Day 2010.
Although we have been providing updates for years now, I know most Georgia fans use other sites and services on Signing Day.
The Dawgs currently have 18 commitments who should sign a National Letter of Intent. Georgia is also waiting on several other recruits to announce their decisions between now and Wednesday.
Check out the list of sites below for coverage of Signing Day 2010:

The Georgia Bulldogs lost a late lead again and fell to the South Carolina Gamecocks 78-77 in Columbia. Dustin Ware missed the front end of a one-and-one with 3.5 seconds left that would have tied the game.
Georgia is now 9-10 overall and 1-5 in the SEC. Of those five SEC losses, the Dawgs have lost four of them by an average of four points. They also had the lead late in the game and a chance to win each.
But again on Saturday, the Dawgs couldn’t convert when it mattered. Trailing 78-77 with 26 seconds left, Trey Thompkins missed a rather easy layup that would have given Georgia the lead. Then with only 3.5 seconds left, Dustin Ware was fouled and awarded a free-throw (one-and-one). He missed the tying shot, effectively ending the game for the Bulldogs.
With the loss, the Bulldogs now own an 0-7 record on the road this season and 0-4 in the SEC.
Travis Leslie led the Bulldogs with 21 points and 7 rebounds. Trey Thompkins had 18 points and 6 rebounds while Ricky McPhee chipped in 12 points.
Georgia returns home to face the Arkansas Razorbacks on Wednesday at Stegeman Coliseum. The game will be televised by CSS at 7:00 p.m. ET (Buy Tickets).

Georgia basketball was sky high after their huge win over no. 8 Tennessee. But the Florida Gators sent the Dawgs back to earth in an 87-71 beat down in Gainesville.
This wasn’t too unexpected if you are an avid follower of Georgia hoops. Mark Fox’s Bulldogs are young and inexperienced. They also commit way too many unforced errors. In this game alone, the Dawgs turned the ball over 19 times and only benefited from 7 fouls called against the Gators (home teams usually get that advantage it seems).
The Bulldogs, who have played poorly on the road the last few years, are now 0-6 on the road this year and 0-1 in on neutral courts outside the state of Georgia. The Dawgs’ lone win away from Stegeman came against Illinois at the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth.
Trey Thompkins led the Bulldogs again, this time scoring 24 points. Ricky McPhee scored 21 points and Travis Leslie was held to only 11 points, but he did grab 8 rebounds. The Bulldogs bench was a disappointment, scoring only 7 points in 49 combined minutes of play.
Georgia travels again this Saturday and will face South Carolina in Columbia. The game will be televised by FSN at 7:00 p.m. ET (Buy Tickets).
