Thursday College Football Game Night (and Then Some) Open Comment Thread

PrintSo, what would you like to talk about first?
Perhaps the fact that this week’s SEC Power Poll ranks the Georgia Bulldogs third, behind the first-place Alabama Crimson Tide and the runner-up South Carolina Gamecocks? Maybe the fact that this week’s BlogPoll has ‘Bama No. 1 with 60 first-place votes, followed by the No. 2 Boise St. Broncos with 30 nods for the top spot, or that the ‘Dawgs check in at No. 17, behind the No. 9 Florida Gators and the No. 15 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but ahead of the No. 20 Arkansas Razorbacks, No. 21 Auburn Tigers, and No. 23 Palmetto State Poultry?
On the other hand, you might want to discuss Doug Gillett’s questioning of A.J. Green’s four-game suspension, Year2’s explanation and Spencer Hall’s alternative explanation of that same sanction, C&F’s lengthy retort explaining why my position is wrong, War Eagle Atlanta’s take on whether player controversies will be Mark Richt’s undoing, or Les Miles’s extension of a scholarship offer to Zach Mettenberger. Also among our discussion options are the thoughts on the Heisman Trophy race offered by Holly Anderson of Dr. Saturday, Every Day Should Be Saturday, and SB Nation Los Angeles fame, whose fine work in the blogosphere has earned her a much-deserved promotion to the post of college football editor for the SB Nation main site.
You know what? Feel free to discuss any or all of that, as well as this evening’s televised SEC outing. This is your Thursday game night open comment thread, so pour yourself a drink and have at it.
Go ‘Dawgs!

Why, oh why
…do people still count Jordan Love’s “arrest” in our tally?
Overdone... but nonetheless necessary
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't."
- Lewis Grizzard
Curious
I brought this up in response the to the C&F post you reference above, but let me know your thoughts:
Do the bylaws explicitly indicate that a jersey sale is impermissible? What if AJ sold Ealey’s jersey and made $1,000, would that be okay? To me, you would have to prove that the jersey with Green’s name on it garnered a gain of $500+ OVER the fair market value for any game worn jersey by any random player. I would argue that there are many individuals who would pay $500-$1,000 for a game worn jersey by Green, Cox, Ealey, Stafford, Caleb King, etc. Thus, how much more was Green paid by having the name "GREEN" etched on the back?
It’s not as cut and dried as you are making it seem, unless the by-laws explicitly state that an individual cannot sell a jersey with their name on it. Not for $5. Not for $20,000.
In short, since many are arguing that the NCAA is merely following guildines that state $500 = 30% of the season, can’t you argue that the “impermissible benefit” is not the entire $1,000 but only the amount the player gains due to his name alone? Thus, the gain may actually be $200, which would warrant a lower suspension.
"You can't print what I said, but they have to catch us." - Chipper Jones
It can't be that simple.
I have yet to see the actual provision. Some, including you, make it seem as if the rule is an absolute, per se violation that does not allow for any mitigating circumstances whatsoever, similar to DUI violations.
Thus, the rule would go something like this:
“If a player sells any memorabilia of any kind to anyone (agent, friend, sister, another player, etc.) and receives $500 or more, he is suspended for 30% of his season. No exceptions. None. Zero.”
While I am not a huge fan of the NCAA right now, I just do not believe the rule is that simplistic. I could be wrong, but I cannot locate a copy of the rules and bylaws to determine for myself if any mitigating circumstances are considered.
"You can't print what I said, but they have to catch us." - Chipper Jones
As far as I understand it,
it is that simple. Certainly, they are allowed to factor in mitigating circumstances into the evidence, but the rule itself is:
$100-$300: repayment of money and suspension for 10% of season
$300-$500: repayment of money and suspension for 20% of season
$500+: repayment of money and suspension for 30% of season

I may be too depressed to blog tonight.
Unless, of course, a sinkhole opens up somewhere in Indianapolis and sucks the entire NCAA into the Midwest Aquifer.

Thanks for cheering me up. Maybe there will be another barfight in Knoxville before kickoff to cheer me up as well.

it's not my fault
one of my aunts brought some to the funeral meal. I am powerless over that stuff. Then everyone else got some and there wasn’t any left. So naturally i took to craving it last night and nothing would do til I had some.

I’m so sorry for your recent loss. I didn’t get a chance to speak up on Saturday as I was only able to briefly join the game day thread from my trip overseas.

thanks dear
been a tough week.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
I'll be honest:
After reading Year2 and C&F’s arguments supporting the NCAA’s decision, I have to say I’m okay with what they did but not so okay with them reducing the penalty on Alabama’s DE, though on the latter all I know is “He was really honest and his mom was very sick.” (I’m not sure if his mom has passed away since then, so I’ll try to be tasteful.) None of those, in my honest opinion, is justification for reducing the defined penalty for what he did.
______________________________________________
I will give my North Carolina for Tennessee Today. Apparently.
Agree.
I have more of a problem with them reducing Dareus’ penalty than them slapping a 4-game penalty on AJ. Thus, if they do not subsequently lower AJ’s suspension, the whole situation seems biased and arbitrary.
"You can't print what I said, but they have to catch us." - Chipper Jones
I think I'm in a similar position.
I don’t think I’ve heard any Bulldog fan say that they believe A.J. did not know he was breaking an NCAA rule when he sold the jersey. The compliance staff goes over this stuff every year, and by now A.J. has been exposed to that spiel 3 times. It’s a dumb, hypocritical and (in this blogger’s opinion) immoral rule, but a rule nonetheless.
If the book says 4 games, then give him 4 games. But don’t give him 4 if someone else gets 2 for an offense just as egregious. Maybe I’m a homer, but I cannot imagine a college athlete more deserving of some dispensation than A.J. Green. He is, by all accounts, the most respectful, likeable kid you’ll ever come across. Even respectful, likeable kids should be punished when they do wrong. But it’s as if the NCAA used up all their compassion on other cases and had to 86 it on this one, a case which seems taylormade for some understanding. The fact that they did not hew to the rules in other cases creates the illusion that they’re not doing so in this one.
the War Eagle Atlanta was very good IMHO.
It desribed the issues and appearances without attacking or slamming. Lot of credit given to CMR without getting hate on, yet saying “hey, what’s going on there?” which is something i would like to understand too.
"One thing I will never do as long as I’m at Georgia is lose to Florida." - Herschel Walker
He was very good
As usual, the commenters at TET not so much. That blog’s commenters have the largest lack of respect for others and other programs of any of the other SB Nation blogs I frequent. Sad that they have such great authors and such piss poor examples of commenters.

Thursday Night Football 2010
I think more is expected of McCluster Dexter Jones. Jamaal Charles is the most dynamic leader and heads back to get fans want to see most of the carries. I think Thomas Jones will be more important than people realize, but only in a less flashy than guys like McCluster and Charles. Jones is here to get the tough yards and move the chains.

Oh good. Another one of these.
I think most of you know better, but just in case you’re one of those folks that sees a link and just has to click: It’s self-promoting spam.
Besides… who gives a crap about the NFL?

So...
You don’t want to read my comment calling for the upset of Man. U. by Everton this weekend? Bollocks!

If the 2008 game was confused for a baseball score
I’m betting that people will confuse tonight’s result with a basketball score. I’m going to go ahead and call 88-86 in three overtimes. Cam Newton sinks the buzzer-beating two-pointer . . . I mean scrambles for the two point conversion to win it for Auburn.
Leaving insightful football commentary and analysis to other people since 2006.
LSU fan here
what are we getting into with the Mettenberger offer? I’ve read the columns on him, but I was hoping for a local’s take.
Cannon for an arm. Improved his footwork and decision-making greatly during his redshirt season.
His mother actually worked in the football office at Georgia, everyone I know who’s met him said he’s a great kid from a great family. But you simply can’t get fall down drunk, grope a lady in a bar, then not tell the truth about the situation when the coach asks about it. If he comes to LSU, I’d bet you’re getting a solid football player who has hopefully learned from his mistakes and will be a solid citizen from here on out.
Haven't had much time to get too much of a take on him
He competed hard for the starting job against Murray and Gray. Had a good G-day game and threw the ball well. Not sure how great of a leader he’ll be nor can i say his decision making will be great as a QB. Great arm like MD said and has all the physical measureables you want in a QB.

He threw some downright pretty balls on the GDay game.
Has a rocket, great size. Looks like a prototypical QB. I think you could confuse ’em with Mallett if you saw him take some snaps in the pocket.
Whether or not he can be a true SEC QB is hard to say. I thought he would be our starter on opening day though.
thanks for the info
LSU obviously has some QB issues that will carry forward to next year unless we get something going and this may be the answer (or maybe it is our O-line or our OC. let’s just not talk about it). Some of the articles I read make Mettenberger’s off-the-field issues sound like a misunderstanding; others make it sound like he is Johnny-23 in a polo shirt. The fact that he got dismissed gives me reason to pause, but was that for telling Richt a story more than what actually happened?
by haveagreatday on Sep 9, 2010 4:22 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes
As far as most people can tell, he got axed for lying about it. If he’d have come clean, he might very well be UGA’s starter this week.
I was hoping to be able to participate in the Auburn-bashing tonight...
… but I just got a call and have to get into the car and drive 5 hours down the road for work. So, I’ll just settle for joining in the fretting and hand-wringing in Saturday’s in-game thread.
Could you maybe scatter the goat ashes along the highway while you're at it?
One can never be too thorough.
Don't know what took me so long...
to find a quality site giving this Las Vegas-transplanted Georgian good scoop on the Dawgs. Y’all provide insightful, intelligent commentary, and help me feel at home. The closest fellow fan out here is my dad, and he’s a damn Gamecock! LOL
Needless to say, we’re both ready for the 9am gametime, and regardless what happened to Green, I’ll be smack-talking the ole man…unless Spurrier’s boys get the best of us. Then I assure you, that ole man will give me hell! GO DAWGS!
Welcome aboard.
I would think the good thing about your location as a college football fan is that you can watch games literally from the time you get up until 9:30-10 p.m. if you can make yourself watch Fresno State home games on ESPNU. And since you’re not up yet there’s little temptation to flip over to College Gameday even though you know it will just make you mad.
This was one of the few cool things about living in Hawaii...
On Saturday and Sunday the football watching was over by ~6pm local time and you could still go to the beach or out to dinner and not miss anything.
Of course the bad thing was that I had to get up at 6am to watch the Dawgs play in the Outback Bowl in ’98.
Good to have you around
Do you have any particular thoughts about butter? (It’s sort of an inside joke around here…)

Thanks.
I’ve actually debated adding Boise State to my fave teams, because a lot of my co-workers are BSU fans/alumni. But then I remember the butt-whooping we gave those boys a few years back. However, I just can’t get myself to pull for UNLV.
Alright...
Completed the weekly NCAA College Football 11 Ritual. In typical Georgia/South Carolina fashion it was a nailbiter. Georgia won 22-21 on a 37 yard pass from Aaron Murray to Marlon Brown over the middle (with 37 seconds left) and Ealey ran in the 2 point conversion. Its now my #1 ESPN Instant Classic.
Tavarres King scores his first TD of the season in the 2nd Quarter. He thanks the out of position Gamecock DB by using his face as a booster seat.

I did the same and my game finished 30-7 UGA. The big play was a 71 yard corner route to Orson Charles from Aaron Murray. If that actually happens Saturday I may eat my hat.

I have to say, “Penguins of Madagascar” is actually entertaining, and I’ve come to enjoy “Big Time Rush” now that I have come to the realization that the show is the 2010 version of “The Monkees.”

Worth noting...
Retweeted by Seth Emerson: South Carolina has a received a letter of inquiry. Spurrier says he’s “not too concerned”.
Now where have I heard that before?
(Also… as Seth points out, Georgia received a notice that the NCAA would interview a player. The South Carolina letter of inquiry is in reference to the program.)
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't." - Lewis Grizzard
While this may be viscerally satisfying, . . .
. . . it does us no good. The appeal of A.J. Green’s suspension, even if successful, will not get him back for Saturday’s game, and no ill that befalls the Gamecocks will do us any good on the field.
Go 'Dawgs!
Agreed...
And I wouldn’t wish the last few days on my worst college football enemy. Spurrier’s response just gives me this odd feeling of deja vu.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't." - Lewis Grizzard
i don't like the timing
if AJ’s suspension is reduced, it will look for all the world like AJ ratted out SC, whether he did or not.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
From reading the Gamecock site, it seems this is about the Whitney Hotel...

This belief on my part is based upon everything that has happened for three years running.

Grousing by son that it’s only 7:58 and he should be allowed to hold off going to bed until the end of Miranda Cosgrove’s “Kissin U” video . . . done.

SEC football on the HDTV . . . check!
Unfortunately, a dead battery derailed my morning routine, so I didn’t get to spend my daily 27 minutes on the elliptical, so excuse me while I spend the next half-hour watching the game while using exercise equipment. Fun!

Can somebody please hit Jesse in the head with a hammer? I love how he concludes the play two seconds before the replay shows the exact opposite of what he concluded.

Somebody other than Georgia can kickoff from inside their own 20?
Well played, Bizarro Dawgs, well played.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
3 consecutive sacks
And 7 points to show for it. I mean, Auburn had some trouble with fumbles on Saturday too, so there’s really no reason for Miss St to think they need to advance the ball by traditional offense to win this game.

My weight’s been between 140 and 160 for the last 20 years, and I get a complete physical every year, so I know I’m healthy, but a half-hour of aerobic exercise a day promotes the production of new neurons and improves brain function.
Frankly, reading Barbara Strauch’s The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain depressed and motivated me. My 41-year-old brain is in a truly troubling decline, and I’m trying to arrest and reverse its downward trajectory . . . if only to keep up with y’all in the comment threads! :)

we will all be drinking enough no one will have to worry about keeping up with our brain functions….

I had my knee drained today, had my first ever prostate check (couldn’t help but think of the Chevy Chase scene in “Fletch”). I’ve got to lose 20 lbs. Impossible during football season.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Yeah, the prostate check is no fun.
Here’s a tip: get the person performing the DRE—-the “D” is for “digital,” and not the opposite of “analog”; the “E” is for “exam”; I’ll let the rest of you figure out the “R”—-to let you lie down and roll over onto your side rather than make you stand up and bend over. It makes a real difference.

Go 'Dawgs!
Oh, this was a follow-up exam
on a kidney stone from March of last year. I’ve got another forming. The whole prostate thing was just “while we’re at it” type thing.
I’m getting old. I’m no longer getting those “extended warranty” letters either…so something is up.

In re: the Braves, they started tinkering too much…I’m afraid we might be in trouble.
I’m impressed w/ MSU so far. Mullen’s a good coach.
And I can definitely say this—The last time I was at Scott Field was 1982—it looks a helluva lot better now. As a young boy, I remembered seeing a bent and rusted chain-link fence behind one of the end zone stands and thinking, “this isn’t like how it is at Georgia .”

I would love for the Saints to lose.

You're a better man than I am, AuditDawg.
I’ve hated Drew Brees’s living guts since he was named MVP of the 2000 Outback Bowl.
His team lost the game. By definition, there were 85 scholarship athletes for the other team who were more valuable than he was. If they wanted to name a Purdue player MVP, they should have given that honor to their kicker.
Go 'Dawgs!
You start seeing things a bit differently

I think turnovers...
and run blocking. Our O-Line last week against a patsy was inconsistent. We need to run the ball.

-Erk Russell
Spurrier and his sandbagging ways
He emptied the playbook last week against Southern Miss. He was known to do that the game before Tenn when he was at Florida to force them to prepare for everything and then would run something completely different against them. I fear he’s trying to do that to our new guy.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
I have two main concerns:
1. The earth may open up and swallow us all.
2. The earth may not.

I'm anxious to see how Murray does under pressure
he appeared confident and in control in his first start. I hope our O line gives him time to make his passes, and he continues to play with confidence against a “real” team.

-Erk Russell
Exactly.
Get this:
According to sources familiar with the NCAA investigation, Chris Hawkins, a former North Carolina defensive back, befriended Green through the receiver’s Facebook page. According to the source, Hawkins identified himself as a financial adviser and memorabilia collector in Facebook messages to Green, who eventually agreed to sell his jersey to Hawkins for $1,000.
The NCAA, which handed Green a four-game suspension on Wednesday, ruled Hawkins qualifies as an agent. . . .
The NCAA also is investigating whether Hawkins arranged for the players to make trips to Atlanta and Las Vegas to meet with potential agents. The source said Green didn’t attend the agent-related trips.
Hmph.

Can anybody remind me when Mark Sanchez became a good NFL QB?
He’s the Terrelle Pryor of the NFL. Way more hype than accomplishment.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Almost identical stats to Stafford
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't." - Lewis Grizzard
Stafford was running for his life most of last season....
Just like in college
Which is why I'm convinced ultimately
That Stafford will be better than all three of Bradford/Tebow/McCoy at that level. He never had the luxury of keeping his jersey clean unlike those guys that never got touched.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
What I was getting at is
Why is Sanchez the wunderkind if their stats were the same? Stafford’s stats are more impressive considering the circumstances.

Brick hands! That would have been a nice play
Miss St’s Defense is not all that bad.
Our secondary, on the other hand...
probably makes that play. They seem to catch the ball pretty well.

Lol
Craig with the huge praise for Newton after that pass. Yeah…not like Adams was given a 15 yard cushion or anything on that play. I’d be more worried if Newton didn’t make that pass.

Just an update on the ex-UNC player...
he’s adamant now about being “not an agent” I think Chris Low’s earlier article has been updated. Hawkins contends he was just collecting jerseys. Whatever.

That's what Leonard Pope proved to us in 2004
In that Tenn game when Bryan McClendon had a kickoff return back to the Tennessee 3 yard line and it was called back b/c of a Pope hold that was on the opposite side of the field and didn’t impact the play whatsoever.
/Nope. Not bitter about that at all.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Yep
As bad as it is to lose to a true freshman QB at home, it’s doubly worse to lose to two true freshmen QB at home.
/How in the bloody flipping hell did we lose to Erik Ainge three freaking times??!!!
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
The first one...
over confidence and a bad call.
The last two: Willie.

hmmm
someone must’ve told them they both play in the SEC
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
On the other hand, both teams are still playing just about as well as they were in their opener cupcakes. Just against better defenses.
And Auburn is fumbling a little less.
so neither team learned anything
from last week?
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
I don't care what anybody says
Auburn still gave up 366 passing yards and 26 points to Arkansas freaking State.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
With their top WR playing like crap no less.
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't." - Lewis Grizzard
So let me get this straight
Relf has been the best QB tonight and led the only two scoring drives against Auburn, but Miss State is playing the true freshman QB in the fourth quarter in a conference game. Does Dan Mullen know what he’s doing at all?
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Did he take the Mississippi State job?
"I want anything wearing red and black to tear the head off anything that isn't." - Lewis Grizzard
Looked to me like Newton crossed the line of scrimmage
Maybe it was the angle.

Auburn has looked susceptible
on rushes off the edge at times…which is our strength.

I was thinking the same thing.
Hope Grantham is watching this.
I'm sure he will see it
in time for that game :)

Yep, I hope he's watching the SC S Miss game again just to be sure

We have a few more fish to fry before then
Well at least some Chickens to fry and Hogs to BBQ on the horizon

Does nobody else see the irony in that play?
Cam Newton – the perfect QB for the Malzahn offense looking for Kodi Burns – the perfect QB for the Tony Franklin offense.

How was that not a penalty?

You know, I understand
not taking the cupcake game too seriously, but to have no recognition of the fact that our D is much improved is just wrong. Is it perfected yet, probably not, but it is still much improved. Add to that fact that AJ is not the only player capable of making plays and well, I still feel relatively good about our chances. Will the USC game be close, of course, it’s the SC game.

I honestly feel bad for MSU
Last year I thought Mullen was going to get something together, but right now I can see State losing every SEC game. The play calling struck me as god awful, the lines were horrible overall, and they dont have much of a star at QB. No hate, but they just couldnt get it done when Auburn kept giving them chances.
UGA should do well against both teams as of today.
