Mark Richt denies sending taunting letter to Clemson fan.

On Thursday, Deadspin posted a story about a Clemson fan who had allegedly sent a "trash-talking" letter to Georgia head coach Mark Richt earlier in the summer.

Following the Bulldogs' 45-21 romp over the Tigers. The fan reports receiving an equally trash-taunting reply from Richt in the mail.

While many of Georgia fans probably cheered the return of "Dark Richt" (the dark, twisted, version of Richt behind the infamous 2007 Georgia-Florida game "Touchdown Celebration"), their glee was a touch premature. On Thursday night. Mark Richt (or whoever handles his Twitter account) denied he had written the letter.

The deadspin article with a letter from me is bogus!!

The envelope should have been a dead giveaway to Deadspin that this was fake.
