This, that and the other:
- One of college football’s life lessons: “Squeeze your butt cheeks.”
- One of Phil Steele’s power rankings: Plus/Minus ratings. Georgia is third in the SEC and eighth nationally.
- As a ‘Hoo, I appreciate Virginia Tech embracing its inner gobble.
- Good to see there’s as much happy talk coming out of Missouri’s fall practice as there is out of Georgia’s.
- Merritt Hall, who was invited to walk-on at Georgia Southern and Jacksonville State, is Georgia’s #1 fullback right now. He’s also got a scholarship.
- John Lilly says Georgia doesn’t need a dedicated special teams coach. (Interestingly, no team in the SEC has one.)
- A bulldog blogger predicts an undefeated Georgia will win the SEC.
- Oh, Lord.
Get The Picture 
Bama has a special teams consultant, so they don’t need a dedicated coach.

“A bulldog blogger” indeed, Senator.

Well, that’s not true at all.

I’m pretty sure AL.com wrote that crap because they didn’t have to get talked down to by Saban for a quote on that one.

Those Missouri stats make it look like we will be seeing a thousand little dinky-dunk passes, a la Boise St. I hope CTG learned how to defend against that gameplan.

That is exactly what I was thinking. And a quarterback who went 18-22 (even in a scrimmage, though it sounded like it was vs their #1 D) and is basically claiming the gift of ESP in reading defenses is troubling..
With half their starting OL injured, and against our monster line, what else would make sense but a buncha Boise State type dinky-dunks?
Thinking about re-living that Boise State game – plus our tendency to lose bellweather / historic games of our opponents – is making my stomach hurt.

ps – Dinky dunks is my new favorite phrase, thanks. I’m either going to come up with a retro kids toy for the Sears catalog or write Dunkin’ Donuts and ax them to change the name of munchkins to dinky dunks.

That would help. A few sternum crushing hits would shorten up those receivers’ arms.

The Hokies have been around the bend since 2010 with all this oddball uniform business — from white hats to 700 uniform varieties to color-coding shoes — but chicken feet goes beyond the pale. Those are truly the daftest helmets I’ve ever seen.

“Gobblers” moniker refers to when the university was a military college known as the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College (VAMC). As future military officers and gentlemen, cadets were not allowed to look at their
plates as they ate. To do so was termed “gobbling” your food and was a cause for punishment. Athletes were given increased portions of food and in consideration of the limited meal time, were allowed to “gobble” their meals. Because of this, the sports teams for VAMC became known as “The Gobblers”

I don’t care if there is some remote/random tradition or not, turkey feet on your helmet is just plain awful.

But I did check on the stats a little while ago and the Gobblers have won double-digit games for the past 8 seasons; so within their fishbowl they are something special.

That is funny stuff right there, and another apt argument for the college game’s superiority over that of the NFL.
