I had to laugh earlier today when a colleague at work pointed out that the independent blog "SportsByBrooks" was reporting that Mark Richt had placed his Lake Hartwell home up for sale.


QuoteWrites Brooks: "Normally, I don't subscribe to a coach putting a home up for sale as a sign of anything, but in this case, it might be applicable. . . . Richt doesn't strike me as a guy out to flip houses, so I think it's reasonable to surmise that last year's 6-7 record — and the subsequent outcry emanating from Athens — may have something to do with the coach making over his real estate portfolio."

I found this funny because Richt told me several weeks ago that he and his wife had decided to place their second home on the market and he told me why. He revealed that to me in an off-the-record meeting...

With the cat out of the bag, so to speak, I called Richt Wednesday and asked him to explain again — this time on the record — what he and wife were thinking when they decided to sell the lakehouse. I'll just let him tell it:

"Within the last year, I read this book, "The Hole in Our Gospel," written by Richard Stearns. He's the president of World Vision, U.S. I think people understand who World Vision is but, basically, they help the poor. Through their organization, you can help children, you can help build wells, you can buy them donkeys, whatever people need. World Vision helps people across the world. Well, anyway, there was a lot of statistical data in there about the amount of people that live on a dollar a day around this world. Billions of people. So I'm reading this book and it really affected me. It helped me realize that what we have is way more than we need and that our ability to give is hindered by this property. I guess that's the best way to tell you. We just wanted to be in a better position to give and bless people that don't have anything. We felt like this was one way to be able to do that."

The house and surrounding acreage was listed for $1.99 million on May 17. Richt had the Hart County home built in 2009, about the time his oldest son Jon Richt signed a scholarship to play football at nearby Clemson University.

Richt has shown himself over the years to be a really good man.
Inside every "older" person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened?

"Compassion for animals is intimately associated with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man."
― Arthur Schopenhauer, The Basis of Morality

Saban's $10.95 million Lake Burton investment property sold to 'extremely excited' family

QuoteThe 9,600 square foot, six-bedroom, nine-bathroom estate was quietly sold last week in an auction that included eight bidders, according to a press release from Concierge Auctions. Neither the name of the winner nor the amount of money it took to win the auction were disclosed, but it was apparently one of the area's largest in recent memory.

A realtor noted that the Saban's actual vacation home was located nearby on "another great lot on the lake" in Georgia.

Everybody needs an escape. That's the theme of an ESPN story

QuoteHugh Freeze of Ole Miss, who also has a place there, says Saban "just shows up at my place on his Jet Ski." The six-time national champion explains: "I have two normals. I have football normal, and I have lake normal."

Vince Dooley, the former Georgia coach, also enjoys to retreat to Lake Burton [sic].

LSU Football Coach Ed Orgeron has purchased a $900,000 home in University Club

A 22 acre golf course?   That seems extremely small.   University Club Course is the home for the LSU golf teams. It's an 18 hole 7,700 yard course with an additional 4 practice holes.  According to wikipedia its a 300 acre course. 

According to Golfweek an 18 hole course usually takes 110 to 190 acres.  They estimate 31.9 acres just for fairways.

The headline last month read, "Former coach McElwain sells home, takes another loss."


QuoteMcElwain sold his 11,000-square-foot home in Gainesville in late January for $1.4 million, $400,000 less than he paid for it in May 2015.

So, clearly, Gators fans had some fun with the former Gators coach taking the loss.

However, the reason for the loss was a gain for one Gainesville-area family.

According to The Tampa Bay Times, the family who bought the house has two disabled kids, and the house came equipped with ramps, lift and wide hallways for wheelchairs.

"Because the McElwains have a good heart," said their real estate agent, Daurine Wehbe told TampaBay.com. "No one knows that. No one appreciates that."

The Staab family have two children who suffer from dystonia, which is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary muscle contractions.

According to the report, Tyler, 20, needs a wheelchair and can't use the left side of his body. Samantha, 17, has trouble walking.

The Staabs could only afford so much for the house, and McElwain decided to work with them on it when he was made aware of their situation.

I can't believe this guy.

Lands his first College HC job, buys what I think is the largest house in town of said job and lives in it by himself, then has a historically disastrous tenure and is subsequently fired before he can live in the house long enough to avoid a capital gains tax if sold for profit.

It's hard to be humble as some Hogs say, right?
