UGA Media Guide Recalled Due To Damon Evans; Buy Our Book, Too...

((HT: AJC-Tucker))

Some periodicals get caught in time... some don't... and some get caught some of the time...

For that, the HQ introduces you to the 2010 UGA football media guide...

And for the low, low cost of $50,000 the University is going to reprint the guide after getting around to omitting a section having to do with a certain ex-athletic director...

From Tucker:
"The timing made it a very unusual circumstance,” Georgia associate athletics director Claude Felton told the AJC. “After discussions among Alan Thomas in the development office, [interim AD] Frank Crumley and myself, we felt like the best thing under the circumstances would be to do a partial reprint.”

14,000 copies will go under the knife. 21,000 were in the original printing and most of them are in boxes...

The HQ told you that other publications weren't necessarily so lucky..?

Like this one... ((pictured, thanks Triumph Books))

Just so you know the book, "100 Things Bulldogs Fans Should Know And Do Before They Die" is available on pre-order through Amazon.com and other such outlets.

It's due for a release next month...

There is a section in the book on Damon Evans, and we couldn't get an addendum in there in time for it to hit the presses as a corrected work. That's fine with Brother Phil, Brother Wilkie, and myself. You just won't get the paragraph on his demise since it happened right at the time it went to the printers.

He's still important in UGA folklore... just for two entirely different reasons...
