A little heavy on the SECCG servings, but I doubt you’ll mind.
- Scarbinsky points out that most SEC title games haven’t been particularly close.
- NCAA gives Georgia Tech a waiver so the Jackets can fight for the right to go 6-8.
- CFN goes with the upset tomorrow.
- As expected, Junior throws Daddy under the bus, which is kind of ironic since Daddy was the bus that got the Laner on the gravy train to start with.
- I’d like to know who said this and why: “This will not be the same Georgia team in this game,” said one SEC coach.
- You gotta love the BCA’s grading system: “Texas A&M, even though it hired Sumlin, was the only FBS school to receive an F because it did not participate in the study.”
- Too bad Alabama doesn’t blitz much.
- Gentry Estes, who has a unique perspective after spending the past few seasons as a beat writer in Tuscaloosa and Athens, compares the personalities of Nick Saban and Mark Richt in this story.
Get The Picture 
Richt gets angry, Georgia wins. It’s as simple as see ball, get ball.
We need Evil Richt on Saturday.

CMR is such a Saint. Saban not so much.

So now some of the sportswriters and pundits have gone full circle again. Make or break Richt game for the Dawgs? Baloney!!
How many teams and coaches have the Dawg’s record of the past 12 years. Sometimes I wonder about the importance of titles. Is it not better to win a lot of games and be consistent about it. That is CMR. When you leave a stadium a winner how does that go. For winners it is another and you feel pretty good about it.
Do we want a 6-3 game, three field goals. Hope not. Defense is said to bring home champions. A game like that leaves everything in doubt even though one walks out a 3 point winner on the board. Bring a play book and wonder what is going on. Nope, want to see some points on the board and a back and forth game of plays,emotions, coaching decisions, game management and plans. .
Want the Dawgs to win, but I do not want to see a sloppy game. Not like in the Dome last year or in Columbia.this year. Just want to see a solid effort and play by the Dawgs in all phases of the game. They just need to remember what got them here and not what happened in Columbia or the Dome.
They can pencil us out, but I feel good about this team and coaches. They are Bama…but I’ve seen the Dawgs win in the flea flicker, the 21-0 beat down in Athens, and the man’s game. It is not like the Tide owns us. Check in with the old ball coach, he thinks the Dawgs can win and I even would bet he would like that, a team from the east and a team he beat.
Time to have some fun and another memory.

Absolutely! I was struck by that “now or never” for Georgia angle. We’ve been top-echelon for most of the past decade, and the immediate prospects look promising as well.

According to reports they have to go to one of the ACC bowl tie-ins likely Sun Bowl. The bigger no freakin way moment will come if they win and are in the Orange Bowl.
