Well, the Red and Black has answered a number of my questions. The R&B did a recent article on Matt Bucklin and Connor Nolte, and the story explains a little bit on how Bucklin and Nolte come up with the shots, how football coach Mark Richt came to appear on the video as a guest, and what has happened since then.
Let's save at least one clutch shot just in case we need it against Florida tonight.

Ten Questions on Bucklin and Nolte
Okay, I'm impressed. Very much so.
This is not the "Kobe Bryant jumps over the fast car, but it's all fake" kind of trick. Matt Bucklin and Connor Nolte have come up with some incredible shots, and they are hitting them. No splicing. No fancy editing. Just real basketball-- kinda, I guess.
After I got over my severe case of envy (my kids would think I was real cool if I could hit those shots, but I'd probably throw my shoulder out on the first attempt), several questions surged to mind... Ten questions, to be exact:
1. How do these guys come up with these ideas?
2. How do they have time to practice?
3. How do they make the shots, once conceived and practiced?
4. Who is doing the filming?
5. If Bucklin really is "the second coming of Steve Nash," as claimed back before the season by Corey Butler in a radio interview, can he help the team advance the ball against pressure defense?
6. With all due respect, but you know UGA fans wanna know: Can either one of them shoot the ball, like regular shots, like with a defender within ten feet, like when the clock is on, like in normal games (see question #7)?
7. What's up with the lay-up drill?
Just a tip: If you convince your buddies, Dai-Jon and Julian, to sign with Georgia, I bet you could exact a measure of pick-up basketball revenge against the student managers in 2011.
8. Can they use some of their "Mojo," or "English," or "spin" to help Georgia beat Tennessee this afternoon?
9. Does the SEC League Office know about this?
10. Why don't we make HORSE an official NCAA team sport?
I mean, we have run out of other stuff to beat Tech in ("Just like football, basketball, baseball, women's basketball, Academics, HORSE, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap"-- On second thought, let's leave it like it is. I have to have time to catch my breath).

Corey Butler Pre-Season Interview
I hadn't seen this before, but I listened to it this evening. Corey Butler does a great interview, except for his love of the Yankees. Unless you're a Yankee fan, skip the first 7 minutes or 7 minutes and 30 seconds. After that point, Butler starts to talk about basketball.
One of the most intriguing parts of the interview was Butler's opinion of Gerald Robinson. Really good news for next year.

Butler was one of my favorite players over his career, and I hope he and WUOG will team up in the future for other interviews as he moves on toward his medical career.
