Happy SEC Conference Championship Game Eve, everyone. It's December, there's a chill in the air, and the faint hint of a corn dog front that I detected earlier this week has become unmistakeable in Atlanta. If you've fallen behind in getting Too Much Information about the Bayou Bengals, no worries: T. Kyle King can hook you up with TMI One and TMI Two (check back for TMI Three later). And don't forget to get your drink on, brush up on your Pelican State knowledge, and dream big.

But we can't possible cover all the details here at Dawg Sports, so we are pleased to point you in a few directions so you can get your Friday fill of UGA news.

Our friends at SB Nation's SEC Blog, Team Speed Kills, reminds you that the SEC Championship game is not a mere formality for LSU, but still predicts a score in the Tigers' favor that's eerily similar to the last two times these Dawgs and cats met for the conference crown, in which games the programs are 1-1.

Our distinguished friend the gentleman from Get The Picture has an apt take on UGA President Michael Adams's remarks about whether Coach Mark Richt has done enough to hang around after the season.

The always reliable Seth Emerson gives us some details on the offensive line's performance this season, and his colleague Mike Lough writes about Mike Gilliard, one of this season's most pleasant surprises.

How cool is this?

Our Dawgs get a little attention from the Gray Lady.

Mark Bradley offers his interpretation of how Munson might have handled tomorrow's game.

Football's not the only thing going on in the world, though. The Gym Dogs are tapped with a preseason No. 9 ranking; the men's basketball team hosts the Cincinnati Bearcats in the SEC-Big East Challenge tonight at 7:02 p.m. on ESPNU (and you can watch with all your friends here in tonight's live comment thread); and Hall of Fame Coach Jack Bauerle and the UGA swimming and diving teams host an impressive slate this weekend for the Georgia Invitational.

Happy Friday, and GO DAWGS!

I think it's the old corn dog sticks in your pockets.

You don’t have to hoard those things, you know.

Editor, Dawg Sports.

I for one like how nobody gives UGA a chance

I have yet to read a single national “expert” give Georgia a chance in hell of winning tomorrow. Apparently we have no running game to speak of (even though we average 180 yards a game), our offensive line is terrible (even though we’ve had numerous SEC offensive lineman of the week awards and we outweigh every other line in football – including the NFL), and we don’t have a legitimate passing game (Murray’s league-leading TDs and passer rating be damned). And…our Defense isn’t nearly as good as LSU. Did I mention that Mark Richt can’t coach either? (Forget about winning ten or more games 7 times in the past 10 years….)

The bottom-line is that the national commentary surrounding this game has gotten comical. There is absolutely no actual honest analysis taking place. Perhaps this is due to our poor effort against Boise, but regardless, these guys need to actually watch some film of Georgia. They’d see that we have a very good team that is more than capable of beating LSU. In fact, from the quotes out of Athens, our boys fully expect to win tomorrow. Here’s hoping they do so Mark May, Lou Holtz, and the rest of the ESPN clowns, along with the intellectual fraud that is Dennis Dodd, and even the Guys at SI, can wipe egg off their face.
