Jake Fromm Suffers a Broken Hand

The university of Georgia’s starting quarterback, Jake Fromm, suffered a broken hand following a boating accident on the 4^th of July. Fromm isn’t expected to miss any of the season and still plans on being available to run summer workouts (wearing a splint).

Off the field accidents aren’t unfamiliar waters to Fromm as he also made news earlier this summer when he made an unexpected trip to the emergency room to have a fishhook removed from his leg.

These freak off the field incidents have some Georgia faithful up in arms about what players do in their free time and quite frankly it isn’t any of their damn business. Crazy accidents like these happen all the time and are simply inevitable; spending time with family on the 4^th of July isn’t a sin. Jake Fromm gives Tim Tebow a run for his money in terms of off the field motives. He is one of the most down to earth kids that has ever came through Athens. I’m honestly surprised he wasn’t off in the Philippines or some other third world country on a mission trip for his week off. To question what he does when he’s not putting his life on the line between the hashes is laughable. To tell a nineteen-year-old kid to live in a bubble during the golden years of his life is cruel. There’s an abundance of worse things a college kid could be doing; Just ask Jameis Winston or Josh Gordon. Going fishing once in a while shouldn’t source this type of uproar.

With this minor injury to Jake Fromm’s non throwing hand, the gates slightly open for (the number one overall class of 2018 prospect) Justin Fields to showcase his talent and fight for the starting job. The quarterback battle will be intensively intriguing on the field in it’s own right. It would be shameful to see fans continue to pick favorite because of off the field, low probability accidents. Shit, I’ve first hand witnessed Justin Fields passed out outside of an Athens bar but no god forbid Jake Fromm goes fishing.

Preseason College Basketball Rankings and Players to Watch

*From NCAA Official Website Players to Watch: Grayson Allen(G, Duke): Fasten your seatbelts because we're coming in for a landing. The most polarizing player in the NCAA is back and he's ready to perform for the top ranked Blue Devils this year. Allen finished his junior campaign averaging 14.5 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 3.5 APG, and 1.0 TPG(trips per game). As demonstrated during his sophomore year, Allen has all the skills to be a top player in the NCAA, but if his behavioral antics continue then it could be another down season for the senior. Whether you love or hate Duke, Allen is a player that you cannot hide from your eyes. Allonzo Trier(G, Arizona): Returning for his junior season, Trier finished his sophomore year averaging 17.2 PPG while shooting 46% from the field and 39% from 3-point range. Trier made the smart move in returning to Arizona for his junior year and not entering the NBA Draft. After missing Arizona's first 19 games serving a drug related ...

Personally, I couldn't agree more as Georgia has had the most impressive resume of all of the above ranked teams. A very deserved rank. Notre Dame #3: Notre Dame at three? This, as well as the Georgia at 1 ranking was the biggest shock. Year after year we see the same bias towards Notre Dame from the committee but I must admit, their lone loss is against number one ranked Georgia. We will see how real ...

Wolverines show progress heading into 2018-19 season

Is the University of Michigan simply a shell of what it used to be? Yes. Is Jim Harbaugh the most overrated coach in college football history? Possibly. Can Michigan contend for the College Football Playoff in 2018? Easily. While I understand Michigan has been preseason top-10 damn near every year since Harbaugh took the reigns and hasn’t done anything to legitimize these projections; this year is different. Michigan is being kicked to the curb with 3 months still left until kick off in South Bend (which will make for a classic). With the unfair expectations lifted off the shoulders of the program this year, they should be poised to make a run. I know the words Michigan and College Football Playoff just sound f*cking absurd together but hear me out on this one. The Wolverines are losing only 7 starters on what was already a talent filled roster. Pair that with the additions of Jim McElwain, a proven head coach taking an offensive coordinator assista...
