That was Doug Gillett writing the piece about Georgia’s high preseason ranking, not Elkon.

+1 Awesome.
I think McDonaugh/Spielman could be great! I think Tessitore is underrated, don’t wanna see him with Millen. Lovin’ some Pollack – I think he’ll be great (totally biased and totally don’t care, but really tho…). Jemele Hill gets to be a border-line racist and then gets to be on tv more?? Go figure…And for the record, anything with more Jenn Brown – I’m all for.

All these announcing teams look horrendous. The Thursday night team is an upgrade by omission, though I’d like to hear what Pollack does.

Considering their lame-ass schedule, USC shouldn’t be to worried about being compared to 2008 UGA.

Here’s another one I’d guess they probably won’t have to worry about – when they win their first two games I’d say they won’t drop in the polls, unlike the ’08 Dawgs. I know it didn’t matter in the end, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t still piss me off that the Dawgs got punished for winning the first two. Who else does that happen to(being retorical here, I really don’t want to know)??

If the Trojans lose their starting left tackle before game one, then lose their top D-lineman during game one … then have Alabama and LSU absolutely hammer their first two opponents … then, yes, they will feel some punishment. But not like UGA did.

Awful Announcing interrupts its coverage of Olympic nsfw Sailing to say how thrilled it is with “your 2012 ESPN college football commentator assignments.”

I could be wrong, but is that the same Maria Taylor who has been working as the reporter for UGA’s G-TV? If so, good for her.

Oh, Jemele Hill. Now there’s a good race-baiting journalist. Remember sending that one a scatching email a couple of years ago over some e-mail that invoked race into some completely unrelated controversy. This is a quality line-up indeed. What, no Andrea Adelson?

Not much
“The departure of Ms. Ward now leaves just two female announcers on ESPN’s college football roster: Beth Mowins and Mike Patrick.”

I miss Uncle Ron too, but even when he did the Independence Bowl a few years ago when we played TAMU, he ain’t what he once was. Also, he’s an idiot who couldn’t figure out how to keep his mouth shut.
