Does Mark Richt discover the cure for cancer in 2011?

I usually dismiss the “unlike last year, we’re all on the same page this season” hokum as typical preseason happy talk, but for some reason the cancer comments that continue to emerge in interviews with Georgia players bug me.

I’m not sure if it’s because they’ve gotten so prevalent that I’m forced to concede that the locker room sucked enough last year to impact play on the field, or if it’s because Richt and the coaches come off as helpless bystanders while the bad attitudes festered.

Either way, it’s another reason the first two games this season are going to be crucial for the fortunes of the program and the temperature of Richt’s seat.  Winning fixes a lot of problems.

See if you can guess what I am now.

Travis Fain brought this to my attention the other day – did you know that if you google “Blutarsky”, this site comes up ahead of the character?

As a huge fan of the movie, I don’t know whether I’m more amused or appalled.  But I am appreciative.  Thanks to all of you who visit here.

Dig in, dig in…

• Lane Kiffin let eighth grader David Sills sit in on a quarterbacks meeting.  I guess next year he’ll take a few snaps with USC’s scout team.
• Stephen Garcia guarantees his behavior.  The good thing is that he’s got less than a year to keep that up.
• In Columbia, they all must look alike.  If by “they” you mean 6’6″ and wear dreadlocks, that is.
• Ralph Nader continues to get boffo reviews for his scholarship proposal.
• Most places are just getting spring practice underway, but Texas Tech finished yesterday.  That’s what Tubs wanted.
• Jarvis Jones talks more about his move outside.
• And Tavarres King is feeling a little pressure.
• Note to NCAA:  Pearl down, Tressel to go.
