We keep wanting to hate him simply because he coaches the team whose blonde, baseball-capped fans always seem to be cutting us off in Atlanta traffic. But Mark Richt continues to earn our grudging respect by suspending two players from two meaningful games for their role in acting like asshats in public.
Several hours north of Athens, Phil Fulmer dropped his donuts in shock on hearing the news, and promised to crack down on player discipline by giving each one of the eleven Vols arrested this offseason a big, sloppy wet kiss whether they liked it or not after a free champagne brunch at the Cumberland Avenue O’Charley’s.

We have to give him credit, even if his fans attempt to kill us on a daily basis.
