- There is a Chris Conley-Georgia Tech-Dragon*Con joke lurking somewhere in this story, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna be the one to make it.
- On the other hand, I think we all know this is something else Mark Richt has lost control of.
- Another tale of amateurism: “To be honest,” he said, “I didn’t feel like I was doing nothing wrong.”
- Can you guess the only SEC head coach who wasn’t employed when he was hired for his current gig?
- How smarmy is Urban Meyer? Smarmy enough that I can’t mock a John Feinstein column related to college football.
- Now this is some world-class trolling.
- Shilling for himself in South Carolina, Rick Perry makes a funny about TAMU failing to beat Missouri. Well, I’m sure somebody thought it was funny.
- And here’s Athlon’s list of college football’s 20 worst coaches at great programs. Georgia has fewer on the list than Alabama, Florida, Notre Dame or Southern Cal.
- Loran Smith has a nice write-up of the Georgia Tech game.
Get The Picture 
Does that mean we can expect Nick Marshall to go down with an ACL injury in the SECCG or the bowl game?

It has to be the year of the blown up knees. I rarely wear my good luck, never fails, red eel skin cowboy boots to games. The one time I do (yes they still work) I slip and twist just a little walking down the stadium steps. No big deal. But it’s bothered me for a while. A little swelling on occasion. Last week I see the ortho PA. Monday their office calls and tells me I Need to come in Wednesday to see the doctor. You know there is something wrong with telling anyone I blew an ACL making a hotdog and coke run at the game. 😦 My son tried to console me with “Pop, they make Nikes in red too ya know.” It has been a weird season.

Urban Meyer has always been a total douchebag. Shortly after being hired by Florida, when I read that he had BYU stickers placed in the urinals in the Utah locker room I knew we were dealing with a true piece of shit. He has not failed to live up to his reputation at any point since. I would put all of my Mojo into pulling for Sparty Saturday but I need most of it for Mizzou. Damn I loathe Meyer.

Pat Dye coached AU for 10 years. Terry Bowden QUIT in his 5th year . Tuberville spent 10 years at AU, his leaving was a mutual agreement, and Chizik, well it all fell apart due his believing that HE was the reason for the NC, not Fairley, Cam, and all those seniors on that team. Tuberville hates Auburn so much, he was in Auburn (wearing his Bearcat Black, which is really cool ) for the bama game making the rounds with tailgaters, laughing, giving smiles and “War Eagles” to all..and to visit his son Tucker that transferred to Auburn from Texas Tech to be a scout team QB. For anyone to say Auburn “runs coaches off” is just not true.

How did Gene Chizik not make the “bad coaches at great programs” list? It should be pretty obvious by now that Malzahn and Cammy Cam were the only two things propping up that regime.
Unless the makers of the list don’t even consider Auburn a “great program,” in which, OK, Athlon, we cool.

Chiz is a perfect fit for the “bad coach” part, but the “great program” part is what disqualified him from consideration.

Thank you Loran Smith. Some people do not see what they think they see and they do not hear what they think they hear.

Love the Aubbies comments under the SI Malzan article. Someone has a bit of a complex.
Malzon to UT would be great for him. He seems like a really good coach.
I did kind of lose a bit of respect for the article when it talked about how clean cut his program is and then lauded GM for recruiting Nick Marshall.

How does John Mackovic make a list of worst coaches? He was ACC COY at Wake, Big 10 COY at Illinois, and Big 12 COY at Texas. Think they might have imploded over that UCLA game? As I recall it was a “roof collapse” game where the 3rd string QB was all that was available. Hardly a “worst” coach performance. Seems Texas has several candidates though, not sure how much research this guy did.
