PrintAt noon, the Central Florida Knights take on the SMU Mustangs in a game that likely will determine the Georgia Bulldogs' bowl opponent. At 3:00, the Civil War (as opposed to the War Between the States) kicks off when the Oregon St. Beavers host the Oregon Ducks. At 4:00, the Auburn Tigers begin their clash with the South Carolina Gamecocks for the SEC championship. The showdown for the Apple Cup gets underway at 7:00, three-quarters of an hour before the Florida St. Seminoles and the Virginia Tech Hokies square off with the ACC crown on the line. After the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Oklahoma Sooners add the concluding chapter to their storied rivalry, the UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans meet to settle hegemony in the City of Angels.
No, Georgia isn't playing, but that just means it's a pressure-free weekend. Your thoughts on the day's action are invited in the comments below.
Go 'Dawgs!

C-USA Championship game
Just because, I would rather play SMU than UCF.
RiverGreenDawg
I'm interested to learn how people feel about that one.
Personally, I’d rather play Central Florida, because of the George O’Leary factor and because the Knights have a better record than Southern Methodist, so beating UCF would count for more.
How do other folks feel about that, and why? Do you agree with RiverGreenDawg, or are you like me?
Go 'Dawgs!
I’m conflicted.
I’d like to defeat George O’Leary, but I really enjoyed the last time we played a June Jones team.
So all things being equal, let’s go with a Famous Alumni battle: Daniel Tosh vs. Laura Bush. While the former librarian would likely be a formidable opponent, I am more concerned about Tosh and the Knights surprise trust falling all over our defense.
So I have decided I’d rather the Dawgs take on Craig James and the Fighting Moneyhats.

Good point on the June Jones factor.
I’m torn. On the one hand, the Bulldogs’ last game against a former Atlanta Falcons coach resulted in the most gut-wrenching home loss of the 2010 season.
On the other hand, that Sugar Bowl marked the end of the Bulldogs’ latest glory run and the start of three solid years of suckitude, virtually across the board. Perhaps a second showdown with a June Jones-coached team would reverse whatever funky surfer island mojo hex the Warriors put on us in New Orleans.
Go 'Dawgs!
Would rather play SMU..
so we can say we’ve played against two of the cheatingest football programs of all-time and if we lose, there’s always a chance that the game will never count anyway.
Oh, and because we also haven’t stopped a running quarterback all year and I’m a’skeered.

“War Between the States”, IMO.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Actually, I prefer "War for Southern Independence," but I'll agree to "War Between the States" . . .
. . . as a reasonable compromise.
In any case, that was quality work, vineyarddawg. I’d be very interested to hear what General Lee had to say about “the battle of the webbed feet.” Oregon, after all, produced Senator Edward Baker, the namesake of one of Abraham Lincoln’s sons and a man who served simultaneously as a staunchly pro-war senator and as an officer in the U.S. Army.
Edward Baker’s 1861 Senate debate with Kentucky’s John C. Breckinridge (who served as vice president under James Buchanan, finished second in the four-way presidential election of 1860, and who later served in the C.S. Army), which was recounted (in somewhat modified form) in William Safire’s Freedom, was one of the great Constitutional debates in American history. (It will interest vineyarddawg to learn that Jayson Akridge and I once recreated that debate at a Phi Kappa anniversary meeting.)

Well, the Ducks look like they're made out of green cheese...

In a contest between the Ducks and the Beavers...
conventional military wisdom suggests that air power can overcome static defensive fortifications almost every time. I tend to agree.

In completely unrelated news, SPENCER HALL IS AWESOME.
He’s in Boise today to watch the Broncos in action, and just tweeted the following:
Doing the event today with Jared Zabransky. Don’t think I won’t ask him what tastes better, vanilla ice cream or Athens Bermuda grass.
There is no sweeter gig in blogging than being Spencer Hall.
My ambition as a blogger is one day to match half of Spencer’s success in the field. In the meantime, I’ll just have to content myself with sitting in my parents’ basement wearing my Orson Swindle pajamas.
Go 'Dawgs!
I have the Conference USA game as my primary game . . .
. . . with the snow-strewn Cincinnati-Pitt game on the flipback. Others?
Go 'Dawgs!
Maybe the Big East has kept their football team count down on purpose...
That way they can stack up the final saturday with games while everyone else is playing single championship games…shooting for the quantity over quality angle.
I call it the "Civil War"
They did win. Saying “War Between the States” makes one sound like one has issues. Like this old dude who calls it the “War Between the States” and who lives down the street from my parents in Buckhead. He has paintings of generals and battle scenes. I’m fond of the South, but that doesn’t mean I have to turn my home in the the Museum of the Confederacy.
I'd be interested to know how Robert E. Lee was rooting in this game, too.
A team from Ohio versus a team from Pennsylvania. Tough call there.
Go 'Dawgs!
I know it's not quite halftime, . . .
. . . but, so far, neither UCF nor SMU is impressing me a whole heck of a lot.
Go 'Dawgs!
That’s good for you if indeed the “dawgs” are playing one or the other in their bowl. I’m not watching it. These piddling games don’t interest me much. I’ll wait and perhaps watch you play one in the bowl. Don’t forget to watch Auburn trounce Columbia this afternoon!!
I can't say I'm really interested either..I'm just making an effort.
And I’ll be watching Auburn this afternoon. I can’t say that I’ll be rooting for them, but I’ll be watching.
Did Florida fire this "old ball coach"?
I saw on TV that he used to be the coach there, and that he is now the coach of South Carolina. Or did he quit and assume his new post on his own accord?
Went to the NFL and pulled a Nick Saban...
although I think he might have done it before Nick, so maybe Nick pulled a Spurrier.
They're all just emulating the original:

Crap Auburn scores
*Just Chill* when things start to look a bit difficult-don't panic as you take away your ability to think straight. Go Braves! Go Dawgs! Go Falcons!
Well, that was a revolting set of developments...
…actually, two: The fact that Auburn scored and the fact that I’m cheering for the ’Cocks.

Thank you!
I haven’t gone through the entire thread, but I signed on precisely for the purpose of commenting on that.
He was an injured player with an open wound. The sideline reporter expressly stated that he was still bleeding because the trainers didn’t have time to get a Band-Aid on the wound. CBS showed a close-up of his bleeding arm while he was lined up behind the center. Between plays, Cam Newton was shown wiping blood on his uniform pants on the field of play.
Remember Aaron Murray having to change jerseys on the sideline after Nick Fairley split open his chin? Players aren’t allowed in the game with blood on their uniforms. It’s a health risk, plain and simple . . . yet Cam Newton is allowed to bloody his uniform during a game, and no one says a thing?
The level of rule-ignoring preferential treatment this kid is getting makes me want to puke.
Go 'Dawgs!
It's okay T Kyle...
If they had made him stay on the sidelines, the NCAA would have just over-ruled it and sent him right back out.

This may sound silly - but do goal posts give a different visual (look) in a dome versus outdoors? lights and lighting can really affect aim. plus a tighter seating arrangement.

my question of the night
this is cam’s last year right? He goes away after this year and like tebow, I get to pretty much forget he ever existed. Now if he is done after this year – who gets to be the object of the media love next year? It does tend to favor the SEC QB – so who’s up next?
I can bake like a demon.
Murray will definately get a lot of love from Phil Steele
and the SEC coaches. Question is, will the World Wide Devil Leader spurn him? They carry alot of weight, unfortunately.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Does the Bobo rule apply?
In other words does the QB only get the love when the team is winning?

makes me even more embarrassed that we lost to SC. They look turrible.

think my opinion was pretty established.
"One thing I will never do as long as I’m at Georgia is lose to Florida." - Herschel Walker
I do think
Coach T will hire an outsider with a very contemporary approach to S&C, FWIW.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
and that is fair - and I appreciate that Dave
my concerns (in no order) are that we 1) shuffled chairs 2) are getting nice little “talks” about things 3) are going to work on things (it hurts me) like nutrition and tapes,things that should be a given, not an improvement and 4) kept to the good old boy network rather than get outside of the UGA Lettermen team.
"One thing I will never do as long as I’m at Georgia is lose to Florida." - Herschel Walker
It’s fair that they should be a given, but the fact of the matter is that they’re currently not, and implementing them is an improvement. I’m just hoping there are lots of other improvements as well.
"It'll only be reviewed because the guys up in the booth want to watch it a few times too." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf16_mw0nxs
You could be 100% correct...and are valid concerns
and I have no idea what the end-game will be…but Richt had to make this move as if his job depended on it because it does.
If no significant additions to the S&C staff are made, then I’ll worry…but one indisputable aspect of this is the Erk Russell connection. To me, that has clout…but we’ll see.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
I hope you're right, Dave.
I’m reserving judgment, but my default position is “underwhelmed.”
Go 'Dawgs!
I get it...
but sometimes an organization has always had the “right” guy right under their noses the whole time, and I really feel strongly about this regarding Tereshinski. I don’t know the man, but I just get the impression that this is a guy who loves his school, wants to win, has been a winner and this is his mission.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
I hope you're right, and I can't say for sure that you're not.
I certainly can’t quarrel with the notion that Coach Tereshinski loves his school, wants to win, and has been a winner. Optimism hasn’t served me well lately, though, and I was hoping for a bold move. We shall see, though.
Go 'Dawgs!
We'll see
My initial reaction was that it was an uninspired move, but from what I’ve read I’m starting to com around to it.

There's word that AJ's family is
working on getting a 10 million dollar insurance policy for him and that he’s set up housing arrangements for the school year. Not sure I’d believe any of that but it’s intriguing.
Granted, I still don’t believe AJ would stay. But with news of a lockout…
Setting up housing arrangements doesn’t mean much. I can’t really recall, but I think Curran did something similar last year.

what's the premium on a $10M policy? holy greenbacks!
"One thing I will never do as long as I’m at Georgia is lose to Florida." - Herschel Walker
if Nationwide is really on their side...
is that an impermissible benefit???
well the premium
on a 5 million policy for a much much much much older white guy with some health problems is something like 15k per year for 5 yrs…….
and a 400k policy for a much much older white female without real health problems is $720 per yr for 15 yrs
so i’d say a 1 yr 10 million policy for a really young healthy athlete is probly somewhere in the middle of those two, but on the lower side.
I can bake like a demon.
This is all true...
… but the calculus is pretty different for this particular kind of insurance policy. I’d imagine the premiums would be much higher than just a life insurance (or even a disability insurance) policy. The risk of having to pay the policy off on a Division I-A athlete if he were permanently injured would be much higher than if it were a life insurance policy.
I'd love for that to be true, but I'd be surprised if it was.
A.J.‘s family is not in the best of shape financially—-I suspect that had quite a lot to do with A.J.’s willingness to sell the jersey—-and I don’t know where they’d get that kind of cash. Frankly, I don’t think it makes a lick of financial sense for A.J. even to consider coming back for another year.
Go 'Dawgs!
Agreed.
Not to make light of anyone’s situation but if my mother has had to work at Walmart to make a living, I’d be gone right after the bowl game.

but USC didn’t have FBI agents digging around until 3-4 years after the fact. The G-Men have been and are still digging around now, and they’ll find something.
I don’t think Auburn’s that smart to conceal everything; there is no honor among thieves. We’ll see. I also believe the NCAA might expedite things because they made an unhealthy decision that I’m not so sure even they’re comfortable with. There’s a lot of moving parts at play in this.

Highest rated officials and their reward is...
the ACC Championship game. The one with no national championship implications. Hmm.
I think the biggest mistake everyone in the world is making...
is assuming that today’s results mean that the BCS Championship Game will now automatically be Auburn vs. Oregon.
I would not at all be surprised to hear the BCS Chairman, Bill Hancock, announce on Sunday that the #1 team in the final BCS standings is:
Gah! I hate their home field.
It’s all sand-colored and with their home tan uniforms, it’s clearly an unfair advantage.

By the way, are they ever going to give us the Aflac trivia question answer? I think the answer is Ralph Friedgen, but I’m sticking around the ACC championship game to find out for sure.

They just answered the question about his glasses...
Apparently he has some eye issue, so his doctor told him to…wear sunglasses at night.
By the way, what was the trivia question from the ACC game?
No, that was the longtime assistant coach for Virginia Tech.
Sean McDonough was wearing the 3D glasses to pimp ESPN’s 3D coverage.
The question was, “Which head coach won the ACC championship in his first year in the league?” (The tie-in was that Jimbo Fisher got Florida State to the conference title game in his first year.) I’m pretty sure it was Ralph Friedgen, but I’m not sure, and, frankly, I’ve been sitting here waiting patiently for the answer, and I’d like to bail on this crappy game. Did they give the answer and I missed it?
