Saturday morning buffet

Sample away, folks.

• Seth Emerson gives us a breakdown of some of the position battles now underway in Athens.
• The cowbell compromise inspires a career change for one gentleman.
• This isn’t shaping up as Vanderbilt’s year.
• But it’s not like Herb Hand can say he didn’t have any idea what he was getting into.
• Can somebody explain why Florida State is considered to be on the rise against Florida in their rivalry, yet Georgia isn’t?
• The Ogletree family comes dangerously close to violating the rule about marriages in the South during the fall.
• I don’t find it particularly noteworthy that Urban Meyer has someone who does his tweeting for him, just that Mike Bianchi thinks that’s unusual.
• Tell us something we didn’t already know.

If you can’t make it there, you won’t make it anywhere.

Remember Josh Jarboe, or, as he’s usually referred to, “troubled” Josh Jarboe?  He’s now gotten the boot from Troy.

He’s dead to me already.

Here’s Corch Meyer’s reaction to the McGarity hire:

“Greg has been a tremendous asset to me and our football program in my time at Florida. I remember first meeting Greg when Jeremy flew out to talk to me about the Florida job. He was involved in every discussion with Jeremy and our family and I could tell right away that Greg played a pivotal role in the athletic department. I could also see that his relationship with Jeremy and others in the athletic department went beyond the professional level. He was very well liked and respected among his co-workers. Greg always found a way to get things done, but he did it in a very personable manner.”

Gracious, yet there’s something missing… hmm… oh, yeah, check Billy Donovan’s comment:

“I’m elated for Greg and his family that he is getting a chance to not only direct a first-class athletic department, but in essence, to go home. I’ve known Greg for 15 years, he was involved in my hiring at Florida, and has been someone I’ve always had great respect and admiration for. I echo the sentiments of everyone here in wishing he and his family the best in Athens and we will certainly all miss him. Georgia has made a fantastic hire.” [Emphasis added.]

Maybe Corch is worried about this.

… Richt joked that he might learn a few of the Gators’ secrets.

“I won’t hit him with that right off the get-go,” he said, laughing. “I’m sure that’s a subject that will come up.”
