Improving speed of service can increase revenue.
Operators who are looking for extra revenue may need to look no further than improving their operations' speed of service. The ability to move more people through serving lines faster can garner profitable results. Just ask Greg Smith, district manager for Metz & Associates, who currently manages four B&I operations, one of which is the 425-employee Siemens manufacturing plant in New Kensington, PA. Smith says the plant has been so busy—it has more orders than it can keep up with—it became important to get workers in and out of the café as quickly as possible so they could get back to work.
"Before, it was basically a '70s-style cafeteria," Smith says. "It had two points of service—a hot well and a cold well—a couple of beverage coolers, a cashier station and that was it. There are two main lunch rushes, one with mainly plant people and then the administration people would come in right after. Obviously, the lines would get backed up because there were only those couple of points of service. So during the course of six months, we redesigned our entire servery into a scatter system. We've got a salad bar, pizza station, a made-to-order station and a pick-up grill station, where you simply pick up your food and go to the cashier. After the rearrangement, sales jumped 25% overnight."
The redesign allowed Smith's team to serve more people in the dining room than before and, he says, it's even easier to do than before. The pre-made grill station is particularly helpful in speeding up service, since "the plant people can just come back, see what we have, put it on their tray, grab a drink, go to the cashier and be out of there in two minutes," Smith says. A similar redesign helped improve the speed of service at another of Smith's accounts, Corning in Harrodsburg, KY.
"My best advice is to do your homework," Smith says. "Take a look at how many people are coming through and then take a look at how many people are in the location total. If you're not getting a high percentage of participation, then there must be a disconnect. Most often it's because the customers can't get through the line because it's taking too long. So you should start looking at alternate entry points and alternate service points. At Corning, the changes have worked so well that during a building extension they're doing, they increased the dining room by 40 seats because there was nowhere to sit, yet the plant population has not changed. More people are simply eating in the dining room, which was just not happening before we rearranged the servery."
A rearrangement of the servery also benefited the wait times at 239-bed Plainview Hospital in Plainview, NY. Director of Food and Nutrition Jackie Smith says her biggest struggle in the hospital's cafeteria is its old-fashioned straight service line instead of a scatter system.
"If all you want is a pre-made sandwich and a drink, you have to wait behind everyone who is being served a hot meal," Smith says. "When you only have a half hour for lunch, this is a problem. To alleviate some of this wait, we removed the coffee service off the line and put it in its own separate area. Coffee is free for employees so it didn't make sense that paying customers had to wait while people were filling up on the freebies. Also, the volunteers eat for free and they like to take their time looking over the selections, so instead of coming through the line on the hour and half hour when the paid employees get their breaks, they have been asked to come through at the quarter and three quarter hour."
Sometimes all an operation needs is a little reminder for its employees that speed of service matters. At 39,000-student Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, Sarah Johnson, director of dining services, says two of her department's restaurants were having trouble with complaints about long wait times. To help student employees understand the importance of keeping the line going, Johnson installed kitchen display units, linked to the POS registers that measure the time each order takes. This way, student employees can compare their service time to how long the clock says it should take.
"The blinking lights and different colors inform and motivate the student employees to get the orders out quicker and let them know we are measuring their performance," Johnson says. "We feel it has helped decrease the wait time for our customers because the staff is more aware. The best measure of its success is the fact that our complaints about the wait time have decreased."
Johnson says the university's "On the Go!" station, a grab-and-go concept, was specifically designed to get students in and out quickly.
"We serve 25% of all meals from three locations of the 'On the Go' concept," Johnson says. "All items except soup and some beverages are prepackaged, so students can get a quick grab-and-go meal. The area is arranged to move in a circle and there are items on both sides of the space. The bags are at the beginning and the customers bag as they go."
When Karen Falder, foodservice director at 1,600-student Mayfield (KY) Independent Schools, first came to the district 22 years ago, the students were still required to carry lunch money with them every day.
"It took forever for students to dig in their pockets for their money," Falder says. "So I put in POS computer terminals and strongly suggested students and parents keep money in accounts. This speeds up the line tremendously. I also do not break big bills for students; it must be deposited in their accounts. Making change holds up the line too and I feel if parents are sending $20, $50 or $100 with their students, they really want it deposited. That much money just invites them to lose it."
Another time-saving tactic for Falder was pre-portioning servings for students on the line, but still allowing for self-service. Falder says the students can pick out what they want and it works well for them to be able to set out an assortment of fruits and salads for students to choose from, in addition to the entrées and hot vegetables. It also saves space on the serving line and makes things faster and cleaner than allowing them to serve themselves out of bulk steam table pans.
Web cam system supplements traditional methods for speedy service.
At 24,700-student Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Deon Lategan, director of residential dining services, says his department has struggled with the speed of service at cooked-to-order stations where customers can choose their own ingredients for items like omelets and quesadillas. To tackle this problem, Lategan says they tried several different tactics, the newest being Web cams.
"In our newest dining hall, we installed two Web cameras so students can log on to our Web site and see how long the lines are before they show up," Lategan says. "We're still working out a few technical difficulties with those. It's also hard for us to gauge how much use the Web cams are actually getting, or if the hits are just people scanning our Web site. We're planning on doing a media blitz soon to promote those Web cams and let the students know that they are there for them."
Also on the horizon, Lategan says, is a Web ordering system that will allow students to order from their computer or phone and pick up the order at a designated time. Lategan hopes to have that online by the fall of 2009. Until then, Lategan says his department has been focusing on customer service at its made-to-order stations.
"One helpful way to reduce wait times is to have employees help multiple customers at a time," says Lategan. "Typically, we like to have the strongest server as the first contact in the line. We train those servers to tactfully pull orders out of indecisive customers."
Lategan also recommends pre-plating when the servery starts getting busy.
"When lines form, we start plating popular items such as burgers and fries and put them on the hot decks so the customers can just pick up the plate and go," Lategan says. "It saves time by eliminating the back and forth between server and customer."
Another successful way to improve the speed of service at made-to-order stations is to have some batch-made items available.
"While many customers would gladly wait to get a stir-fry or pasta dish made-to-order, there are always those who are in a hurry, so having food available for fast pick-up is always helpful," Lategan says. "At our Mongolian Grill, we can turn a customer once every 40 seconds. But if you're the 30th person in line, it's not going to seem very quick to you. So we'll batch stir-fry some dishes and put them on the hot deck and display them. Depending on how much time the students have, they may opt to get the stir-fry of the day rather than wait for a cooked to order stir-fry. We do the same with a lot of our lines. This way you can quickly make a decision without any specialized service that may slow things down."
However, Lategan cautions against too much focus on getting customers quickly through the line.
"The more customer interaction, the slower the lines," Lategan says. "However, there is a fine line between friendly service and impersonal service for the sake of speed, and we continue to struggle with this one. We have posted recommended times to eat when we are slower and that has had limited success."
Biometrics improved one operator's speed of service by up to 54%.
During his 21 years in school foodservice, Dan Andrews, director of foodservices for 65,000-student Seminole County Public Schools in Florida, has continually battled tight budgets, nutritional guidelines and frustrated parents. But there is one battle he seems to have won—the one waged against long lines in his cafeterias. Last spring, Andrews launched a pilot program to see if biometrics was a feasible way to increase his speed of service. After the pilot's success, he is working this year to get the system in as many schools as possible.
"I had been considering biometrics for several years because I was looking for ways to improve our line speed and improve the security of our student accounts. Plus, with other payment systems there is always a problem—for example, we've used numbers in the past and kids forget them or other kids overhear the number and use it the next day; we've also used cards and then you have kids that lose them or let other students borrow them—whereas biometrics gives us 100% security.
Siemens pitched our district the idea of using biometrics for computer passwords—we have a district partnership with them. When that happened, the chief information officer called me and said, 'I know you've been interested in all this. Do you want to take a look at it so we can see how it works?' So we took it from there. We started in one elementary school and it improved line speed about 25%. Then, we took it to one of our high schools and it just flat out stopped kids from using from other students' accounts. It also improved line speed anywhere from 23% to 54% in that school's 10 lines. Finally, we installed it in a middle school where it increased line speed about 23% to 24%.
After the pilot was over, it was so successful that we decided we were going to expand the program as our budget allowed. We still only have it in the three pilot schools, but we have plans to expand to at least one other school this fall. The program has been approved for us to install in the rest of the schools during a four-or five-year implementation plan. Overall, we found that it increased line speed between 22% and 30%.
We did have some parent resistance, but not much. We made it optional, so if parents didn't want their kids to participate, then they had that choice. Out of 850 students at the elementary school, we had five parents who said they didn't want their kids to participate. At the high school, out of 1,650 kids, we had 17 students' parents choose not to allow biometrics. The average opt out was less than 1%. It's important for the parents to know that we don't store a fingerprint. It's not a fingerprint, it's a finger scan and the scan is turned into an algorithm. To start, we usually do what's called an enrollment, where we scan or 'enroll' two or three fingers from different hands. That way if a student injures their hand, they can still go through the line.
There were virtually no costs associated with installing the pilot program. We are going to pay for the costs associated with the actual installation with increased sales. At the high school, we ended up increasing sales 6% so it covered the initial costs overall. The implementation of the three schools cost about $700 per serving line. The high school has 10 serving lines, the middle school has seven and the elementary school has two. The implementation of the other schools is budget based, so we're going to see if we can install it in several more high schools this year and as the sales increase, then we'll budget for the rest."

Man faces charges in roommate's slaying
Byram police investigate homicide
Byram police said a man has been arrested and charged with murder.
Police were called to 2215 West Ridge Road at 1:15 a.m. Friday after the residents living there said they couldn't find one of their roommates, police said.
When officers arrived, they found a man's body in the yard, Cmdr. Ford Hayman said.
"It was a case of where the body was hidden partially," Hayman said.
The Hinds County coroner identified the man as Leonel Montiel. She said he died from blunt force trauma. Police said Montiel, 50, is from Houston, Texas.
Hayman said another renter at the home, 21-year-old Jarez Cairn Hinds of Concordia, KS, was arrested about 15 minutes after the body was found. He has been charged with murder, Hayman said.
"The incident stemmed from a domestic dispute between the two parties which occurred inside the West Ridge address," according to a news release from the Byram Police Department.
Police said the incident was isolated and "all Byram citizens and Lake Ridgelea residents should not have any concerns for their safety regarding this incident."
Bond was denied during an initial hearing Friday. Hinds was being held at the Hinds County Detention in Raymond, police said.

Well, the news off the field took center stage over the news on the field yesterday. The Phillies lost Doc for 6-8 weeks and then lost the game to the Mets. As reported, the Doc news was good in that surgery isn't needed.
Hang in there, is the team's slogan for now. If they can tread water for the next 6-8 weeks and then have Doc, Ryan and Chase back from the DL. That's three pretty decent players for the pennant race down the stretch.
In the meantime, opportunities will be there. See who can step up.
Draft Time
While everyone was enjoying the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, Marty Wolever, Assistant GM, Amateur Scouting, gathered with his staff in the Draft Room, a large meeting room on the Hall of Fame Club Level at Citizens Bank Park, just around the corner from Ruben Amaro's office.
The process of sorting out candidates for next week's draft is underway. Years ago, the large table in the middle of the room was filled with bulky, three-ring binders containing reams and reams of written scouting reports. Those days are long gone.
Laptops dominate the table scene. Oh, also history are a battery of old-fashioned telephones. Cell phones, iPods and the like have taken over.
The draft begins on Monday evening, June 4 and continues for two days. The first round and sandwich selections will be nationally televised by the MLB Network. Each club sends two representatives to the MLB Network studio for that round. This year the Phillies will be represented by Bill Giles and Pat Gillick.
MLB.com will also cover the entire draft.

Thomas Brown discusses his new role
So when the former Bulldog tailback expressed an interest last month in re-joining the program, it seemed natural to place him in the weight room. Georgia's strength and conditioning staff was undergoing an overhaul, and the former Atlanta Falcon and Cleveland Brown was added as an assistant to new coordinator Joe Tereshinski.
"I want to see us get back on track," Brown said Friday, when he met with a group of media members to discuss his new role. He's been on the job a few weeks.
Being on the strength and conditioning staff was something that Brown said he "came around" to after his discussions with Richt. Being a former player, he said it was tough to watch the team struggle and wanted to do his part to help turn things around.
Brown said he didn't want to compare Tereshinski and Dave Van Halanger, the latter of whom he described as a mentor. Van Halanger, who was the strength coordinator for the first 10 years of Richt's tenure, was shifted to an administrative role.
"I was a product of coach Van's system, so obviously I don't have anything negative to say about that," Brown said. "We're just getting back to preparing, getting ready to play football games, getting in better shape. I think the most important thing is getting guys buying into the system, believing in what we're doing."
Still, there was a reason Richt made the change. Brown agreed that there might have been some complacency in the weight room lately.
"That's tough to say on the outside looking in," he said. "I know personally one of my highest acclaims at Georgia was being known as pound-for-pound the strongest football players in program history. I broke the running back bench record, squat record and power lift record under coach Van. So he knows what he's doing. He's regarded as one of the greatest college strength coaches in history.
"But I think maybe the move had to do with guys getting too comfortable with him, and needed a change. And they weren't responding to him as well as they needed to be."
Some players, such as kicker Blair Walsh, have hinted that the team might have had a sense of entitlement, which contributed to its struggles. From afar, Brown agreed with that.
"I think you can solve most problems with more competition," he said. "I think that's one of the biggest things that's different from when I was here as a player (to) what's here now. I came in as a highly-recruited, No. 1 running back in the state of Georgia, No. 2 or three in the nation, and came in I was No. 7 on the depth chart of eight running backs. And I had to compete.
"I think that kind of makes guys raise their level of expectations. I think it's harder for guys to be motivated when they kind of know they're guaranteed to play."
I'll have more from Brown in a future story on the strength program.

Good Stuff. I've alway liked Brown. It takes alot of hard work in the weight room to do what he did. It's not all natural. What's the word on our OL coach? And will this person also be the running game coordinator?
- January 21, 2011 at 11:58 AM
Couldn't agree more about competition.
It was plain wierd the way Georgia wouldn't bench Murray, regardless of how he performed, like the first half against Florida, and the first half against Central Florida.
It looked like Murray felt entitled to start regardless of how he performed.
If Lemay and Mason don't ever get a chance, they'll transfer.
- January 21, 2011 at 12:53 PM
I hope that was a joke... Bench Murray? Mason transfer? Lemay knows the deal and will complete for the job. He will redshirt giving him two years as a starter. The only way Mason sees the field is through injury next year. Plain & simple.
There is a difference in being "entitled" and being the only guy qualified. Murray is the last person on the team with an entitlement problem. Wasn't he the hardest working guy on the team according to the coaches last year.
I believe the entitlement issues lie with the OL, DL, and RB positions. Everyone else had competition at their respective position.
- January 21, 2011 at 1:49 PM
Bench Murray? Yeah that was one of the dumber things I've heard in a while.
- January 21, 2011 at 2:02 PM
Bench Murray after starting out 1-4why, that's an outstanding record as a starter!
murray, like Cox, will never be benched, regardless of how many game she loses or interceptions he throws.
- January 21, 2011 at 2:29 PM
Yeah... I won't lay the 1-4 start on Murray. I will lay the Florida and UCF game on him, though. If you bench someone for performance issues you better have someone who is just as good or better than him to come in. I don't get the feeling Mason was ready to take the reigns last year. Murray has room to improve, especially in the 4th quarter crunchtime, but he was our best option this year and will probably continue to be our best option for the next 3 years.
- January 21, 2011 at 3:14 PM
I just listened to recorded audio of the T. Brown interview. I must say that he has me impressed. I think he will be a valuable addition to our S&C staff and a good influence to these younger guys.
- January 21, 2011 at 4:05 PM
why should murray be benched after going 6-7 as a starter and not beating a single team with a winning record?
i'm sure the alltime td record holder for the state of Georgia, Mason, or Elite 11 QB Logan Gray could have done no better, right?
6-7, that's outstanding!!
- January 21, 2011 at 4:16 PM
You throw the 6-7 record around as if Murray was the only player on the field.
- January 21, 2011 at 4:25 PM
Murray touched the ball more than any offensive player, by a mile. So he's the most responsible. Murray played above average against the below average teams, and below average against the above average teams. Make all the excuses you want, but if your QB can't beat a single team with a winning record, he's not a clutch QB. Georgia doesn't need a QB who excels against La Lafayette and Idaho State, need a guy who doesn't make 4 to's against Florida and can beat Auburn, SC, Miss St, Col, UCF, and Ark.
- January 21, 2011 at 4:45 PM
Wow. Never thought I would happen to come across the one Georgia fan in the world who has a vendetta against Aaron Murray, but I think we found him folks!
If Murray had been benched after a horrible first half against UF, do you think we would have come anywhere close to tying the game and going to OT? He came back in and looked excellent in the 2nd half and almost got us the win.
I have no idea what this guy's problem is with Murray. Mettenberger, is that you?
- January 21, 2011 at 4:46 PM
joe cox didn't get benched in 2009, depsite his record, and depsite all his interceptions.
UGA has an entitlement mentality when it comes to QB, Brown's right about that.
- January 21, 2011 at 4:47 PM
Take away 4 offensive to's, win the TO battle against Florida, and Georgia wins that game.
Take away Murray's 2 to's and fumble against UCF, and Georgia wins that game.
The 2 most important game sof the year, when the pressure was on, and Georgia chose to stay with a guy, regardless of his performance.
Steve Spurrier would have benched Murray after game 2. That's why SPurrier won the SEC East.
- January 21, 2011 at 4:51 PM
- Seth Emerson said...
Okay, lemme step in here.
I covered Steve Spurrier and his QB chicanery for four years. If the Head Ball Coach had a slower hook with guys like Blake Mitchell and Chris Smelley, they might have been in Atlanta before this year. And his hook of Garcia at Auburn this year may have cost them that game.
I won't step into the pro- or anti-Murray argument - which seems a bit inane to me anyway. But Spurrier ... bad example. Trust me.
- January 21, 2011 at 4:59 PM

Are you Mason's father or something?
- January 21, 2011 at 4:59 PM
Seth, since you mentioned Spurrier, I've been meaning to ask you something since you took over for Hale.
Do you have any really good stories about Spurrier? I know from experience that sometimes funny stuff happens in the media conferences with coaches. Richt is Mr. Cool so he isn't too exciting, but I have to assume Spurrier did/said some weird or crazy things while you were there.
Please, tell me your stories.
And if you won't here, then I'll give you my e-mail.
- January 21, 2011 at 5:12 PM
- Seth Emerson said...
That would require a very long blog post, one I don't have time to post right now, or a few beers' worth of time. But suffice to say there are plenty of stories, and hopefully sometime I can get a chance to share some.
- January 21, 2011 at 5:17 PM
That's too bad.
Well, if I ever come back to Athens I'll be happy to buy you a beer if you tell me some good tales of Spurrier.
- January 21, 2011 at 5:26 PM
Spurrier holds his QB's accountable, if they stink up the joint like going 1-4 as a starter, or 4 to's against Florida, or 3 TO's against UCF, I don't think Spurrier would allow that. If you're a QB playing for Spurrier, you know you better perform, there's no entitlement mentality like there has been the last 2 years at QB at Georgia. Richt continued to let Cox start despite Joe Cox's interception problems and continued to let Murray play in games like Florida or UCF, where Murray didn't earn it, and it cost Richt the season. I do think Georgia owuld have gone 9-3 with either Mason or Logan Gray.
- January 21, 2011 at 5:33 PM
The Florida game, UCF game, and Colorado game, were all winnable, those teams were not better than Georgia, would have all been W's if Mason or Gray had been the QB all year. Mason probably could have stretched the field on the deep ball better than Murray in the SC & Miss St games to get 8 out of the box. And Mason or Gray would have won the same 6 that Murray won, not a real good team in any of those 6 wins anyway.
So, 9-4, easy, without Murray, 6-7 with him.
I just hope the entitlement culture I've witnessed at QB for 2 seasons changes, if it doesn't, Richt won.
Look at last 2 seasons, no other quality coach in the SEC would have stuck with Cox and Murray.
Spurrier won the SEC East, so right now, what he's doing is working, and what Richt's doing isn't working.
- January 21, 2011 at 5:48 PM
The only people big on Murray, are those caught up with his td's, but they probably havn't broken down what kind of competition those td's came from. If so, they'd see that only a small percentage of Murray's td's were against teams with winning records. I'm not impressed by his td's against the likes of La Lafayette, not sure why anyone else is.
- January 21, 2011 at 5:52 PM
Look, Mr. Crazy-pants Anonymous, I'm going to do something that will explode your head:
I'm going to give you statistics to consider, not your untrained, unprofessional, football-ignorant 'gut feelings'.
Aaron Murray, for the season:
QB Rating: 103.8
Yards Passing: 3049
Passing TDs: 24
Ints: 8
Completion %: 61.1
All in his FIRST YEAR as a starter in the SEC, the toughest conference in America. (oh, and the TDs do not include his 5 rushing TDs.)
Yes, you can pick nits that the completion percentage could be higher, but I guarantee you any coach in the nation would take that kind of production from their QB.
The bottom line is that YOU ARE WRONG: ask any football expert, and they're going to say that Murray wasn't the problem, and to try to claim differently just makes you look like an idiot who doesn't understand football.
- January 21, 2011 at 5:54 PM
Posting multiple times anonymously does not convince anyone that you are more than 1 person who dislikes Murray. We all know it's just you. Thanks.
- January 21, 2011 at 5:55 PM
Oh, and an update, you're wrong again, anonymous:
Murray had 3 TDs against Florida, and Auburn, 1 against Arkansas and Mississippi State, and only pulled the bagel on South Carolina.
So against the 5 winning teams we played, he put up 8 touchdowns.
Huh. That's not quite as bad as you were trying to make it out to be, isn't it? Or were you expecting Murray to put up at least 2-3 touchdowns against superior teams (and again showing you have no clue about football)?
- January 21, 2011 at 6:04 PM
Brown said the entitlement mentality is where big time recruits (like Aaron Murray for example) come in thinking they'll be the starter.
Murray scored 67% of his td's against teams like Idaho State & La Lafayette. Murray only scored 8 of his passing td's against teams with winning records.
- January 21, 2011 at 6:20 PM
If QB's like Murray or Cox KNOW THEY'RE GUARANTEED TO PLAY (Brown's words), regardless of performance, then they WON'T BE MOTIVATED, like Brown said.
I though Brown made an excellent point there, hit nail on head.

- King Jericho said...
Don't feed the troll. Anyone that has a clue knows Murray is a stud. Someone that's unreasonable enough to put the record on Murray, you're not going to be able to convince them. At that point, they're either trolling or just so stupid they couldn't handle any amount of conversation with an open mind.
Many highly regarded experts in the field have praised Murray for his play, don't get caught up in a forum troll.
- January 21, 2011 at 6:36 PM
Georgia does bench SOME positions who make errors, like Running Back and Wide Receiver, I can think of Caleb King, Branden Smith, and Washaun Ealey getting less otuches for fumbling.
But SOME positions, like Offensive Line & QB, fit Brown's description because they know they're guaranteed to play, regardless. And that effects their motivation, no doubt.
- January 21, 2011 at 6:53 PM
My impression of Brown's comments is, for example, maybe you judge whether a guy continues to start by how he plays in the 4th quarter, not by where he was ranked coming out of high school.
I know Murray, for example, only passed for 4 td's all year in the 4th quarter.
- January 21, 2011 at 6:57 PM
Ealey was tied for 3rd in the nation among rb's in 4th quarter td's.
It would be cool if players had to earn playing time by what they do when it counts vs. their hype coming out of high school.
- January 21, 2011 at 7:00 PM
I could have predicted the whole season based on G-Day this year.
If Mettenberger starts, 10-2
If Gray starts, 9-3
If Murray starts, 6-7
Wish Richt would have based it on what they did in competition, as Brown pointed out, as opposed to an edited video highlight reel.
- January 21, 2011 at 7:10 PM
Georgia did a good job of holding DB's accountable, the guys who blew it early, got benched, and it really helped as the seaosn went along.
- January 21, 2011 at 7:12 PM
I'd like to see Georgia hold guys at every position, including QB & O-Line, accountable for what they do in the pressure times against the best teams.
Who cares where they were ranked coming out of high school or how good they looked on a slick video?
Red zone, foruth quarter, third downs, how you play in THOSE times against the BEST TEAMS with the BEST RECORDS.
It requires you to develop a deep 3at every position, but if so, you can really send a different message.
Brown knows what it takes to win.
- January 21, 2011 at 7:29 PM
I bet Murray the midget has a terrible year next year. Like ole Kyle Parker over at Clemson did. All you heard was Kyle Parker this and that and guess what happened. Kyle Parker is a real Stud. Murray? I'm not so sure yet after we have NOBODY to throw to now.
- January 21, 2011 at 8:35 PM
@ Anon 7:10
How do you know Richt didn't base it on "what they did in competition"? I must've missed the hiring of Anon 7:10 as QB coach this past off-season. So you're counting the spring game as the competition and all the practices before that as "the edited video highlight reel"? Yeah, that makes sense...
Also, it's pretty hard to be a QB with a 10-2 record when you're not smart enough to stay out of trouble.
- January 21, 2011 at 8:43 PM
Know why I sucked? I felt entitled after I got that $1.4 million bonus from the Rockies to play baseball. Why should I even bother putting any effort into playing QB when I already made bank?
- January 21, 2011 at 8:54 PM
Love the idea of Beers with Seth! Would make a great night out in Athens after a BB game! Someone should sponsor.

Did Murray steal anon's girlfriend or something?
- January 21, 2011 at 10:12 PM
"Murray touched the ball more than any offensive player, by a mile. So he's the most responsible."
That's the dumbest thing I've read all week.
The OL and the RB play was not to standard last season. Period. To do as well as he did indicates that Murray has a LOT of potential.
- January 21, 2011 at 10:16 PM
Lack of depth, experience, and competition at QB hurt Georgia in 2010.
There won't be a lack of cometition at QB in 2011. Hutson Mason was ready to go last season, so Richt moved Gray to WR. Mason will REALLY be ready this season and if Murray falters or slacks off, or slips up, Mason gonna get the starting job. Lemay will bring Murray more competition than he has ever seen in his life. Let's duke it out in the 3 Spring games, and may the best QB win the contest.

You can't be serious about Murray. Logan Gray???!?! Are you kidding me?? Clearly Anon is just trying to stir things up because he/she can't possibly be this stupid.

Anon thinks Hutson Mason should have been brought in to "stretch the field"????
Are you kidding man? Shows how much you know.

Good to see that another former player knows UGA is in deep trouble. Glad Thomas Brown can help. We need more former players like him and Fran to recognize the crap that has been going on for the last 5 years to try to get something done. Go Dawgs !

"Murray touched the ball more than any offensive player, by a mile. So he's the most responsible."
"He came back in and looked excellent in the 2nd half and almost got us the win."
I like to comment on these 2 posts above.
There is a lot more to Aaron Murray than just being a ball hog, and he is a ball hog. He led the team with 9 fumbles this season, and contributed key interceptions to derail the season, a total of 9 interceptions as well. He played 8 teams who finished the season not in the Top 25. He lost to 2 of them. Those 2 losses derailed the season. Colorado which he lost with AJ Green and Florida he lost with AJ Green too. Aaron Murray stole 87 rushes from his teammates at running back this season, averaging 1.9 yards a carry. He was # 62 in the nation at being sacked. # 72 at getting 1st Downs even. # 55 at 3rd Down Conversions. # 56 at Total Offense for Georgia this season. Dismal is how this Offense played this season. We beat no one. We played 13 games while the top teams again played 14. We didn't get to The SEC Championship for the 5th Consecutive Season in a Division of The SEC which sucked.
Aaron Murray did not beat Florida; he Lost. The reason for the Loss was Aaron Murray's alone.
Aaron Murray did not beat Colorado; he Lost. The reason for the Loss was Aaron Murray's alone.
Aaron Murray did not beat Central Florida; he Lost. The reason for this Loss, too, was Aaron Murray's alone.
He threw fuel on the fire of not having a running game, taking 7 carries a game away from his running backs. He averaged 1.9 yards on these 7 carries a game, all season long. They instead averaged 5 yards a carry. They would have had 35 yards; he got us 14. Actually, less than 14.
In crucial situations, he looked like he didn't know what he was doing.
Wearing gloves in 72 degree day game against Central Florida. That was the last game for us, by the way – while you sit there with your EXCUSE MACHINE searching for an EXCUSE.
ALL THESE TEAMS have a LOSING RECORD for 2010 :
Louisiana Lafayette – 3 TD passes
Colorado – 3 TD passes
vols – 2 TD passes
Vanderbilt – 2 TD passes
Florida – 3 TD passes
Idaho State – 3 TD passes
Georgia tek – 3 TD passes
19 TD passes of his 24 against 7 teams with a LOSING RECORD.
5 TD passes of his 24 in the remaining 6 games. Lost 5 of those 6.
- January 22, 2011 at 8:00 AM
42 yards rushing vs Louisiana Lafayette
-15 yards on 6 carries in the Loss to South Carolina
9 yards on 14 carries in the Loss to Arkansas
7 carries he stole from RB in Loss to Missy State
7 more carries he stole from RB in Loss to Colorado for 12 yards total
7 carries vs the vols
6 carries vs Vandie for God's sake
3 carries for 7 yards total vs Kentucky
8 carries for 16 total yards in Loss to Florida not Top 25 like Colorado wasn't
3 carries for minus 4 yards against Idaho State
6 carries for minus 4 yards in Loss to Auburn
4 carries for minus 10 yards vs Georgia tek
12 carries for 4 yards total in Loss to Central Florida
There is no excuse for that. He would tuck the football and take off running like he at 4.7 was going to outrun even the average speed defender. He did not. He is not capable of that at 5' 11" and 198 lbs. at 4.7.
David Greene was great here at UGA because he Won games as Starting QB. He was NOT a 1-man band. He gave the ball off to his running backs. He got the ball out to his receivers. We won games, as a result. Aaron Murray is 6-7 by the same EXACT measure which made David Greene great here.
429 plays 33 plays a game, Aaron Murray CALLED HIS OWN NUMBER. He either checked out of the play called to calling his own number, or called his own number from the sidelines, stuck with calling his own number.
20 percent of the running plays this 2010 season, little Aaron Murray called his own number. 20 percent. 87 of 455 running plays 2010 by UGA are Aaron Murray being a ball hog.
1.9 yards a carry is what he has to show for it.
And, Nine (9) Fumbles.
MORE THAN HALF the total plays by UGA this 2010 season, are Aaron Murray calling his OWN NUMBER.
Ball hog.
LOSING Ball hog.
6-7 as Starting Quarterback and damn sure responsible for the 7 Losses where all Seven (7) Games the Opposing Quarterback was better than he head-to-head.
- January 22, 2011 at 8:02 AM
Uh oh. I think we figured out who this anonymous character is: our beloved BullDawg poster. He's smart enough to post anonymously, but not smart enouh to not capitalize every other word.
- January 22, 2011 at 8:45 AM
South Carolina and Miss St both had one of the worst pass defenses in the country (ranked #90 or worse).
Murray passed for 1 td against Miss St, and 0 against South Carolina.
Joe Cox lit up Arkansas for 5 or 6 td's.
When you get a poor pass defense, if you're good, you can help your team out.
- January 22, 2011 at 11:10 AM
- Will said...
Ah, the ol' "back-up is always better" delusion. Nice to see it's alive and well. You were probably wanting to bench Cox in favor of Murray last year, huh?
- January 22, 2011 at 1:56 PM
To the other Anon...So our defense getting torched by Colorado and the worst Florida O I've seen in years is of no consequence whatsoever?

Who: Mirror Mirror star Lily Collins
Where: Out-and-about in Los Angeles
Wearing: A wool-blended leopard print Panthera Alice by Temperley scarf, casually teamed with jeans, a jacket and shades
Verdict: This scarf seems to be very popular, Beyonce was spotted wrapping up baby Blue Ivy in it back in February, and I have even spotted one of my favourite fashion bloggers Ella of Coco's Tea Party wearing it, and I have to admit this is a perfect animal print to rock up any outfit.
Buy Her Style: You can pick up this beauty for just £55 from Temperley London, a great investment scarf as you will wear it all the time.

The GLOBEC International Programme completed its activities in January 2010 after ten years of sustained and coordinated research. Some national programmes have completed their research agendas, while some national and regional activities will continue under the umbrella of the IGBP-SCOR IMBER programme, www.imber.net. This website will remain active as a repository of documents and information on GLOBEC international, but will not be regularly updated after July 2010. The GLOBEC International Project Office, which supported the programme and this website, closed down in March 2010. A final report of the GLOBEC activities can be downloaded here.
GLOBEC, a study of Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics, was initiated in 1990 by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, and incorporated into the IGBP Core Element structure in 1995. The GLOBEC Science Plan was published in 1997, which set out the GLOBEC goal as:
"To advance our understanding of the structure and functioning of the global ocean ecosystem, its major subsystems, and its response to physical forcing so that a capability can be developed to forecast the responses of the marine ecosystem to global change".
GLOBEC considered "global change" in a broad sense to encompass the gradual processes of climate change as a result of greenhouse warming and their impacts on marine systems, as well as those shorter-term changes resulting from anthropogenic pressures such as population growth in coastal areas, increased pollution, overfishing, changing fishing practices and changing human uses of the seas.
Throughout GLOBEC the programme was managed by a Scientific Steering Committee and GLOBEC research was organised around four foci. The work was initially developed within four Regional Programmes and in 2004 two additional programmes began their research activities. A final regional programme, ICED, grew out of Southern Ocean GLOBEC in the final years of the programme.
Now that the project has ended, many of the continuing activities and outstanding scientific questions are being taken forward by IMBER. This website forms part of the legacy of GLOBEC with records of meetings, newsletters, reports and other useful information we hope that it will continue to be used for many years to come.

As long as there is blood flowing in Milla Jovovich's trigger fingers, there will be more Resident Evil movies. Shock Til You Drop is reporting that a sixth Resident Evil movie is in the works and will be released on September 12th, 2014.
But long time director Paul W.S. Anderson has already pledged his time to the thriller Pompeii (which stars Game of Thrones' Kit Harington) there's no way he can do both without moving the dates for Pompeii. Then again, maybe it's time for someone else to take control of this picture and try something new? Something besides putting Milla in a CG maze and throwing monsters at her? Not that this integral part of this franchise should be dumped entirely. Or wait, maybe that's a good idea — just dump the franchise entirely.

Jesse Spencer Puts On His Sexy Fireman's Outfit for 'Chicago Fire' – Hunk of the Day
Among the new shows coming to us from NBC is 'Chicago Fire,' which we can only assume is trying to fill a hole in the firemen-centered drama category that FX's 'Rescue Me' just couldn't. If you check out the new video promo, though, you can tell right away that this might become your new favorite guilty pleasure courtesy of Jesse Spencer… and to a lesser extent Taylor Kinney.
Watch the NBC First Look of 'Chicago Fire'
Ha! We're just kidding. Kind of. Kinney certainly steams up the screen with his ab rack and numerous shirtless moments, but Spencer is Australian and has a gentlemanly air about him that makes you want to tear off those fireman suspenders. Sorry, we got a little carried away for a second.
We loved watching this guy in 'Uptown Girls' with Brittany Murphy and as the half-naked Olympian Tony Fingleton in 'Swimming Upstream' — oh, yeah, and he was in 'House,' too — but did you know that he's also a musician? Yup, he plays violin in the group Band From TV with his 'House' co-star Hugh Laurie. We don't think Kinney can do that.

Kristen Stewart Dropped From 'Snow White 2'?by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Universal Pictures, the studio behind 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' is planning on moving forward with a sequel to the 2012 fantasy-action film, but without Kristen Stewart.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that 'The Walking Dead' show creator Frank Darabont has been hired to direct the sequel which will instead focus on Chris Hemsworth's character, the Huntsman. Charlize Theron is also expected to be back as Ravenna, the evil queen.
While the film's script has not been finalized, it was reported that Stewart could make a cameo appearance or at least appear in a handful of scenes.
In all likelihood, however, Stewart might want to avoid the film all together as she will surely face questions about the first film.
After the release of 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' the focus turned from the movie to Stewart and director Rupert Sanders' personal lives, as tabloids discovered that Stewart had been cheating on Robert Pattinson with Sanders, who was married at the time. Sanders, the director of the first 'Snow White' film, was married to Liberty Ross who filed for divorce shortly after the scandal was discovered.
What do you think, PopCrushers? Would you see a 'Huntsman' film starring Chris Hemsworth?
