Georgia Football: Seniors Asked to Return Plaques—Wins Miscalculated

Perhaps Blair Walsh wasn't just speaking for his teammates when he spoke of their feeling "entitled" to win the bowl game against Central Florida last Friday night.

Claude Felton, UGA's spokesman, announced that the seniors would have to return the plaques they received at the teams' annual awards gala—held prior to playing in the Liberty Bowl.

Apparently, the plaques posted a 7-6 record—assuming a bowl win over UCF—that didn't actually happen. According to Felton, it's a common practice at Georgia to include the bowl games as wins and corrections have had to be made at least once before.

How embarrassing.

Perhaps, the idea that the players feel entitled has longer legs than I thought.

We've been hearing a lot about changes coming to the overall culture of Georgia football, and it's obvious that's something that needs to happen across the board.
