Dawgs on Scooters

ATHENS – Nobody over 300 pounds should be on a scooter.

That’s Georgia offensive lineman Fernando Velasco’s theory.

“I’ll just stick to driving my truck around and I’ll be fine,” the 318-pound Velasco said.

Velasco, certainly, would be troubled to learn that it was a 300-pounder who started the scooter craze that has enveloped Georgia’s football team. Guard Kevin Breedlove, who lettered from 1999 to 2002, was the first Bulldog to use the motorized bike to get around campus.

“He was 340 pounds maybe,” Coach Mark Richt said. “He didn’t have a pretty body. It was like this big ol’ giant round thing with his face sticking out a helmet and everybody used to make fun of him. Now, all of sudden people realize that’s not a bad way to go and then all of a sudden everybody got one.”

Now, there are more than 30 scooters outside Georgia’s practice facility anytime the team is there.....

And because we have 2 scooter arrests this off-season along with another ticket....Richt has implemented a "Scooter Driving" class mandatory for ALL PLAYERS

Not kidding
