Wednesday Morning Dawg Bites: 76 Straight Wins Lead the Big Parade
In this, the season of mixing it up here at Dawg Sports, I am going to use this morning’s midweek edition of "Dawg Bites" to offer links of interest and personal observations I considered worthy of note. Think of them as truth bombs, and enjoy them with your morning cup of coffee as you get up to...
Conference Expansion, Contracts, and Commitments: The Problem of a Nine-Game SEC Schedule
We interrupt Hate Week (or, if you prefer, "Hate Week II: This Time, It’s Historical") to bring you this SEC expansion update. As you may have heard, the Missouri Tigers will be joining the SEC East in 2012, which poses the immediate problem of scheduling with seven-team divisions. Though Greg...
How to Implement an 18-Game SEC Basketball Schedule Without Doing Away with the Divisions
As noted here recently, change is in the air regarding SEC basketball scheduling, as the league is considering doing away with divisional play and adopting an 18-game conference slate. The primary purpose of doing away with the divisions in basketball is to avoid the incongruity caused by allowing...
Why the Georgia Bulldogs Can and Should Play the Clemson Tigers in the Georgia Dome to Open the 2015 College Football Season
As I noted earlier, I recently was interviewed by SB Nation’s Clemson Tigers weblog, Shakin’ the Southland. When asked about the possibility of a neutral site meeting between the Classic City Canines and the Fort Hill Felines in the Georgia Dome, I had this to say: Georgia’s new athletic director,...
Thursday College Football Game Night Open Comment Thread
It’s Thursday night, there’s high-flying point-scoring Big 12 conference action on ESPN, and we have plenty to discuss, from the release of the new BlogPoll to the release of the new SEC Power Poll to Big East expansion (seriously?) to the latest on Brian VanGorder to the latest on Odell Thurman...
A Look Ahead at the Georgia Bulldogs' 2013 Football Schedule: Back to the Future
We need to play Clemson more…some of those names, Igwebuike in particular, raised my blood pressure just a tad. DavetheDawg As an emphatic advocate for reviving the rivalry, I could not agree more wholeheartedly with the above sentiment. I was, therefore, most pleased when Georgia and Clemson...
Quality and Quantity: A Look at the Georgia Bulldogs' Non-Conference Record
(Warning: It is not a stretch to suggest that the posting that follows easily could be read as an optimistic assessment reaching the conclusion that the glass in Athens is half-full. Proceed with caution, and with the understand that I’m not any happier about that fact than you are.) Earlier...
Why College Teams Should Play Tough Non-Conference Opponents
While I’m sure my good friends at Garnet and Black Attack will disagree with this statement, I believe we all could benefit from following the example of Clemson. More specifically, we would do well to emulate Frank Howard. Between 1930 and 1957, the Country Gentlemen began 28 straight seasons...
Kyle Gets Contrary: Why I Don't Like Mike Leach
I believe the success of the "Kyle Gets Contrary" series is attested to by the reaction the first two installments have garnered in the blogosphere, so I am moved to go out on a limb in this third installment, in which I part company with the overwhelming majority of college football bloggers. Here...
Kyle Gets Contrary: Despite the Name of the Building, the Georgia Bulldogs Do Not Belong in the Georgia Dome
We recently debuted a new segment here at Dawg Sports called "Kyle Gets Contrary," and, without being overly contentious, I have to say that there is more than adequate grist for future postings in this series, starting with this one. It is possible, however unlikely, that the Bulldogs will play...
