Georgia puts on white bones for Athletic/on-field achievement, and black bones for Academic achievement/community involvement. Not a terrible idea for a school that touts it's 100% grad rate. But then again, if you are going to do it, the players should know what they are for and why they received them.

I don't really care for it. I like a clean look. And Ed Davidson made sure those were applied only by him so they didn't look shoddy. Back in the Cavan days , seems like guys had them out the wazzoo, and what was our record? Did we win a Conf. Championship? Go to a bowl?

Not a lot of black bones on the helmets in the pictures.

even if it means little, UGa makes it something of a priority and a visible milestone, not just an "atta boy" that you passed some class.

I hope we aren't recruiting athletes that still need stickers as motivation to do well in school...but if that's the case...horseshoe stickers?, why not just give them smilie faces or scratch and sniff stickers? those were the most coveted in grade-school...
