Read this in the Tennessean today. I now know who I'll be pulling for to win the SEC.

Allen's support: Injured Tennessee cornerback Jason Allen said he hopes to be running a full month before the NFL Combine in February and doesn't regret coming back for his senior season.

"God has a plan for me, and it's all going to work out," Allen said. "I don't ask, 'Why?' when I make a big play or make a big tackle, so I don't ask, 'Why?' about this."

Allen, who dislocated his hip against Georgia, said he may undergo an arthroscopic procedure to clean up the hip, but he remains confident that he will be able to resume his football career in the NFL.

Allen, a two-time captain, thanked all of the fans for their cards and words of encouragement. He also said he received a letter from Georgia Coach Mark Richt and that the entire Georgia team sent him an autographed football. Several of the Georgia players, including tight end Leonard Pope, have called Allen personally.
Pope was the player Allen was trying to tackle when he suffered the injury.

"I've had so much support from those guys, and I really appreciate that," said Allen, adding that DeMario Minter, D.J. Shockley, Max Jean-Gilles and assistant head coach Rodney Garner also called him personally.

Allen said he's only watched the play one time, the Sunday after the game.

"I watched it with my family," Allen said. "It was pretty disgusting. I don't think I'll watch it again."

That's awesome. Come to think of it, we didn't have many, if any UGA flamers come on the board before the game.

The players and coaches have a respoect for each other that is not known by the fans. That is an awesome story.

Come on USAF_Vol, you mean to tell me you don't want fans of other teams jabbing at you a little before the game? That's part of sports. Trash talking is fun, especially if you get beat and you're willing to comeback and take your beating.
On another note, that was a classy thing to do. I've always hated the Dawgs, but I've always respected them. Richt is a good coach and is setting a great example for his guys. I still hope we give em a pounding this weekend.

You could see it when he was carted off the field and they came over to Jason. They respected him as a player.

In carrying those sentiments off the field you can see they respect him as a person too.

:post-20645-1119625378: to the character of the UGA players and coaches. Beat the Gators!

I will tell you something. Since Mark Richt has came to UGA he has done alot of things but I think the most important is teaching this team about how to act with class and to respect the people around them. I am glad to see them talking to these injured players and wishing them well. Because it seems that sometimes when someone is lost for the year us fans seem to forget about them sometimes as we concentrate on the team's upcoming schedule and its nice to see our team letting them know that they are not forgotten. Its acts like this that make me VERY PROUD to be a DAWG.

Wish Coach Richt would teach some of the GA fans how to be more classy, I have to live amongst them and get sick and tired of remarks said to me... I am a believer in sportsmanship and not being ugly to other fans... you couldn't pay us to go to Athens,,,, have some GA Tech friends that were treated horrible in Athens... name calling to the guys mom and you can imagine what was said..
I was impressed with the Dawg players shaking Jason Allen's hand, that was class....

GO VOLS.... GO BIG ORANGE..

I guess it's about the players. I think it was real nice when all the Georgia players went over to the strecher and spoke to Jason before he left the field. That's the first time I can recall seeing that. I respect them for doing it. It made me feel better on an otherwise sad day. Forget the fans. Give credit where it's due.

The team may may have class and that's great, but their fans were HORRIBLE when I visited there for a Bama game a couple of years ago...horrible on an LSU scale. I was totally shocked because I expected so much more. Maybe Richt can teach his fans a thing or two.
