Don't Bet On It!: The College Football National Game of Disinterest
We have taken a look at what is, to be blunt, rather a weak college football slate on the national scene, so, before we turn to the much more intriguing matchups to be found in the SEC, I would like to take this opportunity to identify the national game of disinterest. On a weekend as bland as this...
Four Things You Need to Know About Texas A&M's (Apparently) Impending Move to the SEC
The first thing you need to know is that it’s all Texas A&M’s fault. We know that, because the Texas Longhorns told us so. The Aggies are breaking up the Big 12 that the Burnt Orange tried to save; it’s silly to suggest that the ‘Horns are using the depleted league as a...
Would Gary Patterson Make a Better Head Coach for the Georgia Bulldogs Than Mark Richt?
I am sick and tired of hearing people say "Well I mean who would we get to replace Richt" When I hear those words I immediately dismiss the speaker as someone that the State should have euthanized at birth not only for population control but also in an effort to de-muddy the gene pool. I have...
Big 8 Farewell: Oklahoma State
When Nebraska's baseball season ended on Saturday, that also closed the book on Nebraska's time in the Big XII. Technically, the Huskers remain a conference member through the end of June, but with the regular season for all spring sports now over, there are no more conference matchups this...
Where Should Greg McGarity Turn If Jay Clark is to be Replaced as Head Coach of the Gym Dogs?
I see no need to mince words here: Jay Clark’s two-year tenure as the head coach of the Gym Dogs began in disappointing fashion, has featured absolute disasters, and, in my opinion, needs to end as soon as this gymnastics season concludes. Because I am completely off the fence where Coach Clark is...
Don't Bet On It!: Week 14 College Football Forecasts for the National Games of Interest and Around the SEC
A pitiful 4-3 mark in last week’s SEC predictions dropped me to 52-13 for the season in conference forecasts, while a middling 3-2 ledger in last week’s national games of interest doomed me to limp into the final weekend of the regular season sporting a 36-22 record in non-SEC prognostications....
How Do You Solve a Problem Like the Gators?: Notes on Restoring Balance in the Georgia Bulldogs' Most Important College Football Rivalry (Part II)
In an effort to turn Bulldog Nation’s collective angst into a productive discussion, I have raised the issue of the Georgia Bulldogs’ ongoing struggles with the Florida Gators in the modern era of college football. Simply stated, the central impediment to Georgia’s gridiron success is the inability...
Too Much Information: Georgia Bulldogs at Colorado Buffaloes
Fans of the Colorado Buffaloes want to know when we are going to start talking about their team. Have no fear, Big Eight Big 12 Pac-10 Pac-12 football fans; with the Georgia Bulldogs Boulder-bound for their last regular-season interregional game for a while and the Red and Black faithful primed for...
Preliminary Week Two BlogPoll Ballot Draft: Idle Boise State Drops, Impressive Alabama Advances to No. 1
Although I have not not yet cast this week’s BlogPoll ballot, I have compiled my preliminary top 25, which I wanted to submit for your review and comment. I used last week’s ballot as a guide, but there has been considerable movement, as six teams dropped out, six teams jumped in, two teams moved...
How Big Ten Expansion Could Force the Texas Longhorns to Join the SEC
I’ve generally stayed out of the conference expansion conversation except for saying that I want Clemson in the SEC East (both to renew the rivalry and, with any luck, to boost future book sales), but the discussion is just getting good now that the openness of Colorado, Missouri, and Nebraska to...
