Plenty of nourishment this morning…
- Bruce Feldman says this about AJ McCarron’s rising Heisman chances: “… AJ McCarron is your guy that people look at as your default character.” Hey, it’s not like that hasn’t worked before. Which is one reason the Heisman is pretty worthless at this point.
- Josh Harvey-Clemons shook off the end of the Auburn game to play well against Kentucky. “The arrow is up on him as a player…”
- On Saturday, Auburn will be trying to score its first touchdown against Alabama since its winning score in 2010.
- Mark Richt wants you to know that the No. 1 sport for ACL injuries is girls soccer: “It’s not really a high-contact sport but a lot of change in direction. And that happens a lot.” That tells me somebody’s been doing his research. Wonder why…
- Richt also would like for Dawgnation to get over Will Muschamp coming to Athens.
- Guess what Todd Grantham is using as a teaching point for this week’s game.
- This bowl season looks like it’s shaping up as MACtion’s world, and we’re just living in it.
- Beau Bock just got a woody.
- Of all the quarterbacks Nick Saban’s seen this season, Nick Marshall is one of them.
- Michael Carvell has more on those five-year schollys Georgia’s offering.
- Do you think Greg McGarity has any days where he wakes up thinking, “there but for the grace of God go I”?

FSU is going to drop the hammer on BOOM! and the Gators. They want to put some more distance between themselves and Urban’s Flawed System #3 team. If the Noles make them quit by the end of their first score in the second half – something Georgia should have done – then the dam will break and it will get U-G-L-Y. Then BOOM! may be irredeemable.

Tuesday, I just had my morning check of StingTalk and the answer is Tuesday, that’s how long it took for them to break out the “yeah but we make more money!” argument. They also are saying football has little to do with the rivalry. Then why is this the week both sides of the rivalry call hate week? Shouldn’t they wait until finals week to really talk trash?

Maybe you could run a poll to find out how many of your followers work for Tech grads. According to them, we all do. But, I honestly don’t know a single UGA grad who works for a Tech grad. Surely there are a few to add a scintilla of truth to the myth. In my experience, I have done business with Tech grads in which I was paying them to do work for me. Doesn’t that mean they were working for me?

Really interesting article on the ACL injuries. I’ve always just worked under the assumption that ACL tears were just something that can be attributed to dumb luck as much as anything. I grew up playing soccer and I knew it was very common in girls/women’s soccer, there was a point in time where among the top players, it was hard to find a woman who had played for a significant length of time who had not had at least one ACL tear. I had no idea about the changes that have been seen by implementing this guy’s techniques.

you can always find experts on both sides of an issue . Previous studies actually indicate that ACL injuries in women’s soccer actually are gender/genetics based . Different hip/pelvis placement puts more stress on the knee resulting in more ACL injuries. Jury is still out IMHO

I don’t agree that FU’s loss to GSU was their “low point” or most embarrassing loss, the clubbing they got on national TV in the Sugar Bowl against Louisville was much, much worse. They were 11-1, ranked in the Top 5, healthy, and had a month to prepare. They didn’t just lose, they got dominated by a mid-major who would struggle every year with Georgia Southern, and would have lost to them several times over the past 25 years. GSU has led FSU, Miami, Auburn, Ore St., and Florida, all in their home stadiums, before when each were ranked teams, they just never held on before. Not saying this wasn’t bad, but this is less surprising to me than what I saw on January 1.
I realize this was an unusually weak Eagle team, but they put up 300+ yards of rushing against UGA last year in Athens, and over 300 yards against Bama in Tuscaloosa two years ago when the Tide led the nation in rush defense. Gaytors had no defense for that exhibition they put on against Louisville, they can blame injuries and the unique, HS offense for the loss last Saturday. But they could have been trying against GSU, they were at least at the end; they never put any effort against Louisville from start to finish. They should have been very concerned at that point.

C’mon, Mac, unmotivated teams lose bowl games all the time. ‘Bama did it against Utah. Big Game Bob lost to Boise State.
SEC teams don’t lose to 1-AA teams. At least, they shouldn’t.

I agree unmotivated teams can lose at any time, especially in bowls ( I recall two particularly bad ones in Nashville under CMR). But this was a stand-alone BCS game in Nawlins. Shouldn’t happen there, imo. Of course, I never felt they should have been ranked that highly last season anyway. I was more embarrassed for an SEC team getting drubbed that badly in a major bowl than I was with GSU whipping them last weekend. We simply have different opinions of the significance of the surprise, mine due to it being a game everyone should show up to play with an exclusive, national spot light on them. This an obscure throwaway game with nothing to be pumped about.
