Ke...Thanks for all the comments and compliments. <br /><br />Ken, that's tremendous you have that memory, but most of all, you actually knew Hugh.<br /><br />Anon 9:38- yep, I contacted the parents and, nope, none of us were invited to the awards, although I would fully expect the parents to be invited WAY before I would be. I could complain how UGA didn't even call the parents to notify them; however, I'm just so please the award was reestablished, I'll remain appreciative to the program.<br /><br />jsobasky- Curran wasn't omitted. The players' names listed from 1976-1989, 1992, and 2014 are the actual recipients of the award, not my personal opinion of who should have won the award. Of course, if the award had been given out from 2007-2009, I agree, Curran should have, and probably would have received it.<br /><br />Thanks, everyone!<br />--Patrick Patrick Garbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356915340772134104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-13354428747670493012014-04-17T09:07:48.631-04:002014-04-17T09:07:48.631-04:00Patrick - Thanks for this article.

I really appreciate your efforts to bring back this prestigious award and the honor to Hugh Hendrix a D.G.D!<br /><br />- Matt McCormickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-28700567362615467042014-04-16T14:44:47.617-04:002014-04-16T14:44:47.617-04:00Great work getting this done Patrick!Great work getting this done Patrick!South FL Dawgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-72762709717470654902014-04-16T13:09:03.575-04:002014-04-16T13:09:03.575-04:00Good job Patrick.

Some of us were lifting and Hugh said he felt bad and was going to the apt. When we got back there he had gone home to Atlanta. He was gone a couple of days later.

He's as deserving as anyone on this list. He's one of the hardest working people I've ever met in my life and he busted his tail day in and day out for UGA. He was the leading tackler several years in a row despite his height disadvantage. Please edit your list to include him.jsobasky@uga.edunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-18114198429258851632014-04-16T09:38:39.182-04:002014-04-16T09:38:39.182-04:00Awesome article Patrick.

Although Uga did the right thing, it seems they did what was convinent for them and still don't quite get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-10178839277896616812014-04-16T08:25:42.547-04:002014-04-16T08:25:42.547-04:00Accolades to you for your effort and success in he...Accolades to you for your effort and success in helping to realize the reinstitutuon of the Hugh Hendrix Memorial Award.
