Well, maybe it is a little.
“My mentality going into this game is that they’re trying to prevent me from doing something that I was born to do,” said Jenkins, a 6-foot-4, 350-pound senior. “I feel like they’re trying to keep me from feeding my family. I don’t really think less of Buffalo, but I think of them as the enemy. They’re going into the game thinking they’re going to run over us and they really can’t. We don’t take anybody for granted.”
If Big John feels that way about Buffalo, I can’t wait to find out what he thinks about South Carolina.
Three things we didn’t have last year against South Carolina that I hope we’ll have this year:
1. A healthy Alec Ogletree
2. A beast in John Jenkins (he was still behind Kwame at this time last year)
3. Solid special teams.
If we have all that then I think we win this game by 2 touchdowns.

Many many years ago, Johnny Carson once referred to some conservative politician as being “to the right of Jimmy Dean Sausage.” Made absolutely no sense, but somehow worked. So does “to the left of tofu.”

As most of you know, or at least should know, I’m dead now and somewhere with Ron Reagan and Dick Nixon and, for some strange reason, a fleet of sailboats instead of yachts.

In the top 10 worst experiences of my life was riding the ‘shuttle’ bus from the Carolina game in 2003 back to the K-Mart parking lot on Broad St. where they had visiting trailer parks for a year or two.
We were living on the Westside and thought that grabbing the shuttle would be better than a cab. That was the turning point in my life on understanding that some things are worth what you pay for them…the smell haunts me.

Which acronyms gave you so much trouble, Mr. Land Grant Education? Was it LBs or TDs? Not familiar with them, eh? I know – it’s tough. After all, this is primarily a football blog and we’re on the eve of the football season – talking about two football teams. Or did “LMAO” stump you? I’m sorry you profess to have had comprehension difficulties, but actually I think we all knew you understood exactly what was being said, but had to come out with a nifty little snob attack. Well, if you’re going to lay that card, be an alumnus of Vandy, Virginia or Duke. Or even Georgia Tech. But please don’t get all high and mighty with a UGA degree. The best you can do mocking a South Carolina grad is to be a kettle claiming he’s an ever so lighter shade of black than the pot whom he looks down upon.

And if you don’t recall.. which I am sure you don’t.. Lattimore wasn’t exactly gaining yards up the middle.. rather on counter plays that CornWash was a bit slow to adapt to. But no worries, if you actually thought y’all were the better team last year then you can actively disagree with you coach.

I thought Jones was an OLB. That’s how he is listed on the UGA website. Guess he wasn’t good enough on the outside to contain Lattimore;s 176 yards, including his long of 26.
