National Game of Disinterest (Week 3)

Having discussed our non-UGA SEC Game of Interest and our National Game of Interest, it is now time to identify this week's National Game of Disinterest.

Let's go out there and win the South Carolina state championship. Let's put ourselves firmly in control of the SEC East. Let's put this thing away in the first half. Let's score more points in Columbia than Texas A&M did. Let's put the rest of the country on notice that we're the team to beat in this conference. Let's whup the Ole Ball Coach into an early retirement. And most importantly, let's
