Another day, another buffet line.
- Bill Goldberg and a bottle of Wild Turkey. They don’t make recruiting stories like they used to.
- On the other hand, this type of recruiting doesn’t surprise me in the least.
- The SEC spring meetings are next week, and autonomy is at the top of Mike Slive’s agenda.
- Speaking of autonomy, the big boy choir is singing from the same hymnal.
- Arkansas is number 96 in the Orlando Sentinel’s CFB rankings.
- It sounds like Brian Kelly still has Georgia on his mind.
- Joe Alleva has some advice for Alabama fans who are planning to attend the game in Baton Rouge: “They’re going to need telescopes to see the game.”
- It’s about damned time, CFB Hall of Fame.
Get The Picture 
Speaking of the Hall of Fame, when is it set to open here in Atlanta?

Sure it takes some time for Joe, the Pedro of Athletic Directors, to get over losing a vote. That means Florida fans undertaking the hazardous duty of going to Tiger Stadium are going to have to be equipped with, at the minimum, Orion Resolux 15×70 Waterproof Astronomy Binoculars.

Goldberg’s other great recruiting story is when one of our coaches came to visit him (Cavan maybe?) and Bill wanted to impress the coach by eating the biggest steak on the menu at a local Tulsa eatery. He ate the entire thing, which was impressive, though not good timing. He had a game that night and on the first play from scrimmage he ran down the QB, sacked him, vomited much of his steak and then spent the rest of the night on the bench nursing an upset stomach.
Classic Goldberg.

The only reason why Brian Kelly wants to play Georgia rather than Bama, LSU, Auburn or South Carolina is he thinks his team can beat the Dawgs. It ain’t a compliment.

Crazy, they never have, nor has he. The best team he ever had got humiliated by a team UGA played to a virtual draw in the prior game. Why would he think that? If he does he is laughable. Can they beat UGA? Of course, anyone can on a given day but day in and day out, ND loses to UGA.

Re: Wild Bill, I think it’s just as notable that he received the WT while “standing on top of a bar.” I can only hope he was also clutching a comely wench. Probably a good thing he and Jake Scott weren’t on campus at the same time.
And me, I’m all up for a UGA-ND thing–while I don’t see the logic intellectually, I viscerally agree that there seems to be something natural about such a series. And so many other teams invade our state for talent that they’re at least as likely to take someone away from Bama, UT, Clemson or FSU as they are from us–maybe more likely, since guys who wanna stay home are usually gonna stay home, and those who are gonna leave will leave but who knows where?
