Sit, sit… eat, eat.
- Three teams in the SEC West with eight home games this year… and none in the East. That seems fair.
- Steve Spurrier, pioneer of the fist bump.
- Deck chairs on the Titanic.
- Rex Robinson makes a good point about why Georgia isn’t always going to be on the mind of five-star recruits.
- Teryl Austin’s resume. Sometimes the old saw is true – it is whom you know as much as what you know that counts.
- David Hale sums up the salaries for Georgia’s new assistant staff. Outside of Grantham, things really haven’t changed.
- Disney thinks the WWL is undervalued. Prepare to open your wallets further, gang.
- Is anybody really interested in what Stewart Mandel thinks about Lost?
- Given that Mack Brown just bragged about the fact that Texas signed every kid in the ’09 class who took an official visit to Austin, does this really matter as much as they’re complaining it does?
- More on the ‘Horns: I understand the inquiries about switching conferences and I understand listening to them, but what’s in it for Texas?
- Mike London’s staff is about as Virginia-centric as you can make it.
- Another SEC defensive coordinator gets a big raise courtesy of an opposing head coach. This time it’s not Mark Richt’s fault, but Derek Dooley’s.

My favorite Steve Spurrier-related fist bump …

I agree with Texas on the new recruiting rule. I think out of all the things the NCAA could improve or clamp down on- especially about recruiting, why make this rule? Why not penalize Kiffin for offering to a 7th grader? That seems like a bigger problem to me. And what about Assistant Head Coaches? Wouldn’t they technically be in a higher position than a coach-in-waiting? It’s a crappy rule that really doesn’t improve the game or the integrity of the game. But what can we expect from the @$$hats whose biggest concern is players being excited about the game they play.

Very good points. Why create more rules when you don’t even enforce the ones you have.

I don’t see how the number of home games played by any school affects us negatively. As long as the SEC keeps the conference playing field somewhat level (impossible to be perfectly level every year with fluctuating team strengths and a pre-determined rotation).
At ages 18-22, the travel impact on the players is something I don’t buy into. I am more concerned about the timing of bye weeks. It can never be mandated to play all conference games in an 8 game block and that is the only way to totally avoid teams finding a way to get the break before an expected key game. Hate that Florida has the week off before us, that is beeen a pretty reliable indicator in the series, but since they overcame that edge last time, I think we turn the tables on them in 2010.

Re. co-coordinators.
It’s a lot like having co-managers at the Scranton branch. And all that worked out well for Dunder Mifflin, didn’t it?
