Earlier today, Senator Blutarsky meticulously set forth the reasons for optimism, pessimism, and skepticism regarding the Georgia Bulldogs’ 2011 football season, and I find it hard to believe that anyone would take serious issue with any of the Senator’s points.

We all are wondering whether Stacy Searels is going to Auburn and whether Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Rockwell Moreno are headed for the N.F.L.
