Crap.
***UPDATE***
You know, sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a Dawgs fan. In the aftermath of Asher's announcement today, the Dawgvent and the blog comments are full of people condemning Asher, as well as Stafford and Moreno in some cases, for their decisions to leave school early (although, to the credit of the Dawgvent admins, they are trying to nuke some of the more mean-spirited comments as soon as they can). Posters are using words like selfish, not a team player, no leadership, etc...
Are you KIDDING ME????!!!???!? These young men have busted their butts their entire life to get to this precise moment in their lives. They have spent the last three years of those lives sweating, bleeding and generally giving everything they have for the team and university that these "fans" supposedly pull for. They are now making decisions that affect their lives, their livelihoods, and the future for themselves and their families. If they feel that they are at the point that they are ready to leave college and enter the workplace, they don't owe ANYBODY another year of their lives...not the coaching staff, not their UGA teammates, and CERTAINLY not me. Who's really being selfish in this situation?
Good luck and God bless to all three of these men, and if I ever got the opportunity to meet them, I will either thank them for the great memories they gave me as a Dawg fan and for the hard work and effort they put forth during their time in the Red and Black, or I will keep my mouth SHUT. I sure as heck won't condemn them for making the decision that they felt was best for them and their family, no matter how disappointed I am that I won't get to see them between the hedges in '09.

AMEN, well put my friend. These guys owe us NOTHING. How many "so called Dawg fans" are even awake most days that these guys are bustin' their humps in the offseason and camp to get ready for Saturday. These are the same fans (that always seem to get within earshot of me) that start screaming at all of the coaches after every play. And yet probably couldn't tell you the difference between a dime, nickle, or a cover-two, L O S E R S !
Yeah, if only Timmy from section 214, who has never coached football or even played above Pop Warner level, was our defensive coordinator...things would be so much better!
Wait...that may actually be true...
