Around SBN: Uga VII, Requiescat in Pace: A Tribute to a Damn Good 'Dawg

It was really weird how it happened. We were maybe 15 games into the season, and they started healthy scratching our captain last year. One day I came in for the game, and I had a 'K' on my jersey. I was like, "What the heck?" The coach came over to me and said "cap-tain," and everyone started clapping. And that was it.

Is this anything like Paul Shmyr wearing the “K” for the Oilers in the late 70s?

Great idea, too. I was thinking a few weeks ago something on Dallman would be interesting.
