A few odds and ends for your sampling pleasure…
- Four SEC teams, including two with a loss, in the top ten in the polls.
- In a rational world, news like this would mean there would be something in it for Johnny Manziel.
- Of course, we’re not in a rational world.
- Will we see Georgia’s reserves play this week?
- Louisville’s schedule is an abomination. I’m just glad we don’t have a four-team playoff this season, because the Cardinals would stand a decent chance of falling into that.
- Now we know what ESPN will be beating the drums for. Resistance is probably futile.
- The gif that keeps on giving. (The best part is that Spurrier told Holly Rowe at halftime that he’d quit tossing his visor.)
- Rennie Curran’s new project is worth your attention.
Get The Picture 
Please…Spurrier was yanking his headset off…knocked off his visor…that does not count as a throwdown.
Reserves?…North Texas?…I just hope you experts know of what you speak.

I would love to see UGA raise even half that amount in one year.
I really doubt that JFootball is as responsible for the increase as you want him to be.

I really doubt that JFootball has as little to do with the increase as you want him to be.

I dont care how much of the increase he could be responsible for. The only point I care about is that UGA hasn’t raised even half of that amount in a single year, ever.

No, no… I meant if you don’t care about Manziel’s contribution to the bottom line, why comment about Manziel’s contribution to the bottom line?

because I thought that the note at the bottom of the article about the energy markets was more important than the Johnny Football aspect.
Obviously having a good football team is good for the bottom line. Having a great player like Manziel is also good for the bottom line. I doubt that UGA could expect that sort of increase if Gurley II gets the needed votes in December.

I don’t see how the energy markets explain the highlighted difference between the two schools.

seems like you are confusing causation and correlation.

So how do you explain the difference?

If that number is correct, aTm raised in one year an amount that is almost equal to UGA’s total endowment.

1) Energy markets have been as strong or stronger before. AM still 70% over previous high water mark. So something else is clearly in the mix.
2) Texas donations are down. Way down. Last I checked, lots of donors there making lots of money off energy markets, too. They are just not writing checks at the moment.
What’s different about Texas and AM right now? Hmm. That might take some research.
Or maybe Andy Fastow got back into accounting.

Any guess on the LSU game time?
LikeLike
Georgia-LSU is a match of top ten teams, so I think that’s the way CBS will go. But if CBS exercises its six-day option today, that would make me think the network is leaning towards ‘Bama-Ole Miss.
LikeLike
Bama-Ole Miss is my guess. One reason is to check out the 10/5 SEC slate. If UGA loses to LSU, CBS could be forced into taking 2-2 Georgia at 2-2 Tennessee. The 10/5 slate is terrible.

I think CBS is going to lose its taste for Tennessee football after this week.

We’ll see. While Tenn is a hot mess, UF could be bad enough on offense to keep them in the game long enough. Either way, the choices are slim. It could very well be Ole Miss-Auburn. Both a 3-1, but both unranked.

Ole Miss@Auburn or UGA@Tenn are the only options for 10/5.

“JFootball®, I used to walk the circuit around Syria holding services for those who served Baalim (h/t Cosmotose), and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines as well as South Lebanon for healings that some non-Seat 37F writers called miracles but were just day-to-day for me. Your folks came from that same arena. We’re probably kin to each other. I ran a ‘Do You Feel Lucky Today?’ contest for them about those Manziel Greys? Did he crow once, twice or thrice?

It’s not like Oregon hasn’t gotten their shot against the SEC champion recently. And, Oregon should probably beat Stanford (which, btw, they play at Stanford on a Thurs night) and win their own division before calling out their BCS championship game opponent. Edward Aschoff is a hack.

That Louisville schedule IS downright pathetic.
I think Kentucky proved how problematic playing decent competition would be for Louisville. This is a team that started with basically nothing, playing it’s second game, and they have no offense.
But I doubt many voters will put that together.

“The team that got left out” is a stock character in the morality play that is CFB sports media and one with real benefits. Ask Brian Kelly is he prefers being the program that got left home for the MNCCG (Cincy) or the program got left in the dust in one (Notre Dame).
I think Louisville could play the part well, but right now they are an alternate. Looks like someone(s) with a really strong 11-1 record is(are) going to get left out in the cold this year.

Georgia and LSU will play on Sept. 28 at 3:30 p.m. in the showcase CBS national game of the week, The game between the No. 9 Bulldogs and No. 6 Tigers in Sanford Stadium would be the third top-10 opponent for Georgia already this season, assuming LSU gets by Auburn at home this Saturday.
