Bobo tries to put positive spin on Georgia's offense
This is the side of college football that coaches hate. When summer rolls around, they lose control of the players. Virtually every letterman remains on campus and participates in voluntary workouts, and most freshmen enroll for summer semester. But NCAA rules limit coaches’ contact with players to almost nothing beyond a casual greeting as they pass in the hallway.
“I don’t really understand that rule, but it is what is,” said Bobo, Georgia’s offensive coordinator since 2007.
It has been a strange offseason for the Bulldogs and a particularly challenging one for Bobo. Georgia hasn’t had any arrests, as has been a problem in some years gone by, but it nonetheless has had more than its share of attrition.
Five players who were prominently featured on Bobo’s post-spring offensive depth chart are no longer with the team. Tailback Washaun Ealey, tackle A.J. Harmon and Benedict, a guard, all transferred for various reasons. Meanwhile, King was unable to pass enough hours to stay eligible, and his backup Carlton Thomas was issued a one-game suspension for an unspecified team-rules violation.
“You tend to lose people during the offseason, and it kind of unnerves you a little bit,” Bobo said. “But things are going to happen. It’s kind of like games, you have to adjust. That’s part of coaching. Now we have to figure out what we do best.”
For Bobo, the bottom line is this: His four most productive playmakers from a year ago won’t be around this season, and he must rebuild around five returning starters. Receivers A.J. Green and Kris Durham, the two leading receivers, are now in the NFL. Ealey and King were the leading rushers.
But Bobo insists enough talent remains for Georgia to be productive on offense in 2011.
“Truth be told, I’m still excited about what we have coming back,” he said. “There [are] a lot of opportunities for a lot of guys. There [are] some talented guys on this football team that are going to have the opportunity to step up. I truly believe there’s plenty of talent offensively for us.”
Here’s some more positive spin from Bobo:
On Georgia’s offensive line, which is lacking experience beyond the five starters: “We’re not very deep, but you only need five. I think we played ’02 with only five the whole year and one other year I know of we played with six. You’d like to have more depth, but I feel good about what we have.

The futility of analyzing “the good” | Oblates of St. Benedict
The more one seeks "the good" outside oneself as something to be acquired, the more one is faced with the necessity of discussing, studying, understanding, analyzing the nature of the good. The more, therefore, one becomes involved in abstractions and in the confusion of divergent opinions. The more "the good" is objectively analyzed, the more it is treated as something to be attained by special virtuous techniques, the less real it becomes. As it becomes less real, it recedes further into the distance of abstraction, futurity, unattainability. The more, therefore, one concentrates on the means to be used to attain it. And as the end becomes more remote and more difficult, the means become more elaborate and complex, until finally the mere study of the means becomes so demanding that all one's effort must be concentrated on this, and the end is forgotten.
