Wednesday morning buffet

It’s probably not as good as the spread the Dawgs are seeing this AM, but you take what you can get.

• In his defense (pun intended), a pass rushing defensive line would make Willie Martinez look a lot smarter.
• Here’s a good breakdown of the top 25 teams’ non-conference schedules.  And, yeah, even in a field of crap, Ole Miss’ really stands out.
• This stuff is growing extremely tiresome.  In college football, there’s a reason the rich get richer:  they nurture a product that we want to see.  It’s not like the SEC, Big Ten or Big XII are trust fund beneficiaries sitting around idly clipping coupons.
• As clichés go, SEC defenses trumping Big XII offenses is one I’ll take.
• Yes, someone has actually written a column about his favorite Independence Bowl memories.  Goosebumps!
• David Ching takes another look at Mark Richt’s new attitude about playing true freshmen.  We’ll see.
• Bernie notes that Mike Gundy’s a man – except when it comes to that pesky discipline stuff.  I can’t say I’m particularly surprised.
• A great historical note from one of my all-time favorite games in Jacksonville – Kerwin Bell, MVP.
