- Which teams play the toughest schedules? Phil Steele tells you.
- I wonder if Dan Mullen felt this way about recruiting when he was at Florida.
- Bronco Mendenhall thinks the SEC is corrupt because its coaches make too much money.
- Yup. (h/t numerous readers)
- If you have this much trouble describing Mark Richt’s hot seat, maybe he’s not on as much of one as you suggest.
- Uncle Ron is gone.
- LSU paid Willie Lyles six grand to get access to film clips that were available on YouTube. Nice work if you can get it.
- If Nike Pro Combat gear is so great, why does Greg McGarity sound defensive about it?
- Georgia gets its first Samoan commitment, but I was kind of hoping there would be a lot more vowels in his last name.
- I guess winning brings out the wisecracks from the OBC. I bet he misses Fulmer.

The first blackout was one of the top 2 most fun UGA games I have ever attended, but I do believe the uniforms shouldn’t be trifled with too much. I like that it’s either red jersey or white jersey. But for God’s sake, don’t mess with the helmet! Please don’t let the helmet be what he describes in the article. Otherwise, if they win I probably wouldn’t care if they were wearing jock straps out there.

Ditto (although he was already on mine for the scheduling changes.) We owe Nike nothing, they have disrupted college traditions all over the nation all in the name of Phil Knight making more money for his company by selling “specialty” jerseys to fans who actually think wearing a jersey is cool. Smacks of taking advantage of the weak-minded to me.
Even as a traditionalist I support the Black jerseys being worn every 2-3 years, but that is as far as I go with tinkering with the UGA unis. We are in a high profile game and wearing an alien uniform, cannot see any positives to that.

Was watching the Dawgs on tv last week when my wife walked by and muttered what sounded like “asshole”. While taken aback, I knew my BAC wife would never use those words. During halftime I approached her carefully (I always approach my wife carefully) and asked what she had remarked. “Asshos” was the sound. Now she’s mentioning the entire team cause our cats and dogs weren’t watching with me. Have I mentioned the Dawgs and watched games too many times and exceeded her level of patience for those activities?
My wife’s mother was Phillippino (who consider themselves to be Polynesian in origin) and her father was an American from Colorado. She grew up in the Phillippines and speaks Tagalog, some Spanish and English. Sometimes when she is vexed, she will give a stream of utterances that I am totally unfamiliar with and have taken to reading her face as to continue the conversation or to flee for my life (as when I make the mistake of telling her that her cultural derivation makes her an Amnesian from birth). After her utterance, I realize that she is at peace and tentatively ask what she is upset about. She thought for a moment, laughed and said, “No, silly. “Aso” is the Tagalog word for dog”.
So fear not Senator, we don’t need the vowels. Now we can call him “Our Big Brown Aso”! Boy, will he be proud using a polynesian title for him while at the same time demonstrating our worldly class.

I was at Clark AFB with my father in the 60’s while he was with SAC. I guess we were about an hour outside of Manilla. I learned several choice Tagalog words and phrases while there. Years later after waking up in the recovery room post orthopedic surgery, I was surprised by the recovery room nurse’s sharp reprimands for my language while I was coming out from under the anesthesia. She was from the Philippines and was quite offended by my “thought to be forgotten” Tagalog.

Boy, I wish to forget some of the Tagalog spoken AT this old dog!
When she threatened that a “Phillippino haircut” was done with a knife and below the waist line it has been tough to sleep. I was sleeping with one eye open, but discovered that she was too! If she ever discovers that the Dawgs don’t play 52 weekends, I’m a dead duck.

Can’t. There are rules about jersey length nowadays. I want plain silver helmets & pants with red jerseys with plain white numbers, just like the 1942 national champions.

As a matter of fact, the Georgia “G” isn’t preserved in its rightful spot, if the details in the article are correct. The “G” belongs on a red helmet with a white stripe, the most iconic and recognizable symbol of our university and our program. It doesn’t belong on a black helmet, nor a silver helmet, and history be damned on that point.

I am in the middle on the uniforms. Overall I wish they would just be left alone but at the same time I can see the value in the changes from time to time as recruits seem to like them. At one point the G as we know it now was a major change and that worked out ok for us.
