evening update

The 8:30 p.m. practice was canceled, so there's not a ton to report.

I've seen some really good pictures from the afternoon at the pool. Brant Sanderlin from the AJC got some great pics. Dean Legge from the Dawgpost had some hysterical shots of Demiko Goodman battling the fear of jumping off the three-story-high diving platform. I told Dean he's got to do a photo story of that Demiko stuff and not let it go to waste. He'd step up to the edge and jump back and try to psyche himself up, with all of his teammates up there egging him on. He went as far as sitting on the edge before backing off again. He finally jumped off, arms and legs flailing the whole way down. There were really a lot of laughs in there this afternoon. It was fun to watch.

Here's an official UGA photo of Demiko sitting on the edge.

I wish someone had taken pictures of Ramarcus Brown, who started with a little floatie vest and then went and put on a full life jacket before he'd get in the pool. Also a funny sight.

If you want to check it out, here's my notebook for today. It's got some stuff on the tight ends competing for playing time, the trip to the pool, Brandon Miller at middle linebacker (I've been holding onto that one for a few days...probably too long), and injury report and a few other small things.
