CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Cindy Dukes father went to Georgia. She has a daughter currently at Georgia. Shes been a Georgia football fan for her entire life.But when Georgia opens its season in Atlanta -- where she lives -- on Saturday, Duke wont be there.Shell be at her first Miami game instead.Mark Richts hiring at Miami, after his successful 15-year run at Georgia came to an end last fall, has already brought something that the Hurricanes werent necessarily expecting. Theres a slew of new Hurricane season-ticket-holders from the Peach State now, people who apparently decided that they can simultaneously be Richt fans and Bulldog fans.Since Mark Richt came to Georgia, Ive been a fan of his, Duke said. We saw so many changes in the way the program was handled and just were really impressed with the way he straightened it out. Making things more about the players and the students as a whole person, not just football players. To watch him handle things the way he has, its been very impressive.For his part, Richt seemed flattered to hear that plenty of people from Georgia bought Miami tickets in the weeks and months after his hiring. His debut as the coach of his alma mater -- Richt graduated in 1982 -- is Saturday night, when the Hurricanes play host to Florida A&M.He got plenty of calls and letters from Georgia fans wishing him well after his move back to Coral Gables, and was warmly received when he appeared at a team end-of-season event after his departure from Athens and subsequent hiring by the Hurricanes.Its not impossible to be a Georgia Bulldog fan and a Hurricane fan, Richt said. Its two different leagues. How many times has Miami played Georgia in the last 25 years?That would be none -- and none for the 25 years before that, either. The last Miami-Georgia game was in 1966.There may come a day when we play each other and hopefully itll be a significant moment, Richt said. I think a lot of people appreciate how I went about my business at Georgia. You have a fan base, alumni, you get attached to your team, to your people. You take a personal interest in them.Duke said she chatted with Richt from time to time, and that they would sometimes attend the same church in Athens, Georgia.Hes the real deal, Duke said. Its about more to us than just Georgia football. I wasnt real happy about the way things ended at Georgia, but Im happy for him ... to be able to go back to his alma mater. So we just want to keep following him and be supportive of him.Richt isnt just bringing in new fans. Hes bringing some old ones back as well.Chris Novack held the school record in the 5,000-meter run for 27 years, from 1986 through 2013. He was a scholarship runner at Miami, graduating in 1988. He spent most of his life living in South Florida, though he now calls Savannah, Georgia home.On Saturday, for the first time in years, hes going to a Hurricanes game. He had season tickets when Miami played home games at the Orange Bowl and now has them again.I cant underestimate how the loss of the Orange Bowl hurt so many people, Novack said. Mark coming in, and the new stadium, I think its rejuvenated the program. I can tell you theres people in Georgia, my co-workers, who are now Miami fans because of Mark Richt. Marshall Faulk Rams Jersey . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. Eric Dickerson Womens Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. http://www.footballramsshop.us/authentic-eric-dickerson-rams-jersey/ . Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. Greg Gaines Youth Jersey . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.

James Maloney knows plenty about grand finals and the Cronulla star reckons his halves partner Chad Townsend is primed for the game of his life in the NRL decider against Melbourne.Townsend bounced back from his week one finals sacking in emphatic style, starring in Fridays win over premiers North Queensland.Maloney will play his third decider in six seasons on Sunday and he says Townsend is ready to lead the Sharks to their maiden premiership win.He had one game that wasnt perfect, (but) I dont think it was as terrible as everyone was saying, Maloney said.We knew hed been outstanding for us all year so I had every faith he was going to come back and do the job. Hes very important to this side and no doubt hes got another big 80 in him.Maloney said Townsend had shown his character by not letting the hooking by coach Shane Flanagan in their qualifying win over Canberra affect him.He was in a goodd space, I just had a chat to him to make sure he was sweet and he was, he said.ddddddddddddI wanted to make sure he realised how important he was to the team and he did.He knew that and he knew exactly what he had to do and he came out and did it tremendously against the Cowboys and hell come out and do the same next week.The Sharks lost 26-6 to Melbourne in a round 26 battle for the minor premiership - on a night Maloney admits the Sharks were not at their best.While the scoreline looked pretty convincing I thought we played good footy, we created opportunities, we just didnt finish them. That hurt us, he said.We probably leaked some points that we probably shouldnt have but in general the performance was right where we wanted to be to springboard us into the semis. ' ' '
