I'd like to pour one out on the curb for Erk Russell, an old-school hardnosed sumbitch of a defensive coordinator who was instrumental in establishing success at two Georgia football powerhouses: UGA and Georgia Southern. Erk passed away after a car accident before the South Carolina game, and I hope Willie Martinez is using Erk's legacy as a sparkplug for that defense, because they've not given up a point since his death. Erk is a legend in Georgia athletics, and will be sorely missed.

Also, everybody send your good thoughts to one of the most beloved Georgia players in recent memory, perhaps second all time to Herschel, David Pollack, who suffered a broken neck. I don't know the details, but I'm assuming it happened in Sunday's game. It's heartbreaking to think of someone I watched play with such passion and enthusiasm for four years braced up in a hospital bed. I don't know what the prognosis is except he's out for the year, but join me in wishing him a speedy recovery and a return to the field to continue what was beginning to look like a very promising career.

I hope there won't be too many updates like this, but these two legends of Georgia football should be memorialized here, and should be in our thoughts when they suffer injuries as severe as David Pollack has. Glory glory boys.
