    Senator,

    Check the props Mark Richt gets from Ivan Maisel (#1 under the 3-point stance) for his strategy in the GSU game.

    Usc sucks, pac ten suck ten sucks.

    you are all that they have though.

    every real poll has them moon walking, now #7 and thats being nice.

    but Usc knows they can lose every game this season, and the Las Vegas joke poll will keep them #1.

    something tells me the creater of this joke poll is a Usc fan, don’t you think…Ha,Ha if Usc is #1 than oakland will win the superbowl.

    What are your thoughts on Georgia hiring a new coordinator for just special teams? A lot of people are giving Martinez a hard time, but no one is really talking about Fabris (I think he’s in charge of ST) and his work with the special teams. I read your blog almost everyday, so I’d like to know your opinion…

    The first big question is, if you’re going to hire a new ST coach, which existing assistant coach are you going to let go to open up a slot? Georgia already has the maximum allotment of assistants.

    Besides, MR has already said that he’s not replacing any staff.

    I think the best we can hope for is that he takes a hard look at this year’s shortcomings and reassigns responsibilities amongst the assistants for the special teams. Almost anything would be an improvement over the status quo.

    Senator,you will find below an excerpt from one of your recent post. I find it absurd that you have to lobby for a chance to be #1, which is exactly what a coach has to do. Also, you do realize that there are coaches out there that do not like each other and would refuse to vote for their team #1 regardless. And just how many games to you think a coach has watched to determine who has the best team?
    This system is hysterical. Can’t wait for the first time there is 4 undefeateds from the power conferences and lets sit back and watch the uproar.

    Your quote below.

    I feel for Mack Brown, to some extent: a play away from being undefeated and a screwy conference decision about which school plays in the conference championship game are the things keeping his team from a shot at the title.

    It will be interesting to see if he tries to lobby any of his fellow coaches to vote with him in the event Oklahoma beats Florida. If the Gators win resoundingly, though, I expect this whole thing to quietly fade away

      The point I was making, Keith, is that Brown’s team can’t be #1 in the coaches’ poll. Any lobbying would be a futile gesture.

      As for your argument that there are inherent flaws in the coaches’ poll, you’re spot on. That’s why I started the Mumme Poll experiment this season.

    On your Mumme Poll, how many games do you watch to make your determination? Do you watch games involving the top teams every week? I am sure you must be missing a couple of good games while Georgia is playing or do you Tivo them? You of course know where I am coming from. Voting is subjective(and biased and political) and playing on the field is not.

    And spare me the diminished regular season argument.

      Between DVR and weeknight games, I watch anywhere from 6-8 games per week. I also try to catch some snippets on Sports Center and I also review the NCAA and SEC stats weekly.

      What helps with the Mumme Poll is that I’m not trying to decide which team is 23rd best and which team is 24th best. That’s clearly a ludicrous exercise.

    Well, voting is still subjective and political and biased. You watch the games, but I can assure you the coaches only have time to watch film, but yet thats how they decide who plays for the MNC. Oh and we also have a couple of computers that don’t take head to head into consideration. Man that makes a ton of sense.

    Here comes Congress to the rescue on the BCS!!
    http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hV4mOJQgUsQthrydU_Vty4iVgC5gD9759GG00

    “In the House, Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee, has sponsored legislation that would prevent the NCAA from calling a football game a ‘national championship’ unless the game culminates from a playoff system.”

    I thought the NCAA didn’t do that? They are the BCS national champions, right?

    Dr. Saturday compared Josh Nesbit to Reggie Ball Friday. Might be good fodder for a post later.

    Senator,
    I just read your comment on The Dawgvent about our guys being hurt and tired. I think you are spot on- this so called spreading awareness of the brand can back fire big time on us. While other teams are “tuning up” – we are having to play! It may work out- We have been poised and battle tested while others are just beginning a real schedule. The physicality could hurt badly long into the season. We may be mentally tougher than all of the others but not able to compete as well as expected. I think you have the best incite and blog site preiod. Great Work! RWM

    Dogs 3, cowboys 1, and ref’s 1, we would have seen better results from school officials. I think maybe we should let the officials take a bow before the game and get it out of the way.

    Senator,
    I love your blog. It’s different, funny, and most importantly readable.
    I have you on my non-Vol blog roll, and your’s is the best of the dawg blogs.
    Mine is a fledgling Vol blog but is a labor of love.
    Give it a try.
    I’ll be reading you this week with a lot of interest.
    Big game for both squads. But, when isn’t it?

    Thank you for your Carl Bernsteinesque posting of nasal phlegm at the college level.

    We are, as one, edified yet again by your style and grace in print.

    Can a BO posting be far behind? Go ahead. Call Rich Brooks for a quote.

    Dare ya’.
