Rambo, Rogers going at it verbally

When Bacarri Rambo and Da'Rick Rogers meet on the field, let's hope it's as good as their jousting on Twitter and Facebook.

Tim Tucker of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a blow-by-blow account.

Rambo, Georgia's sophomore safety, got the ball rolling when he expressed displeasure on his Facebook page with all the recruits backing out on the Bulldogs at the last minute. He added that he was going to "knock fire" from them when he caught any of them on the field.

Rogers was one of those recruits who backed out on the Bulldogs despite being committed for seven months. He had a change of heart and signed with Tennessee, where his Calhoun, Ga., high school teammate, Nash Nance, also signed.

Rogers' initial response on Twitter was, "Who is Bacarri Rambo?"

Needless to say, a few more exchanges occurred, one in which Rogers made light of Rambo being injured in the Auburn game last season.

Rambo's comeback was that he covers the best receiver in college football every day in practice (A.J. Green), so why should he be worried about Rogers?

The date to remember is Oct. 9 when, Tennessee visits Georgia next season. Something says Rogers won't receive a warm welcome at Sanford Stadium.

If he plays as well as he talks, the Vols might have found that dynamic playmaker at receiver they've been missing the past few seasons.

On second thought, whatever happened to at least running a route in the SEC before you engaged in any smack talk?
