Hell, even Charleston Southern deserves a game day post.
Feel free to say… something.
And then get ready to watch Missouri-Tennessee tonight along with everybody else.
Those of you going, have a fun day. I’m out of here.

Not to be redundant (I mentioned this yesterday), but the quarterback for Charleston Southern, Austin Brown, is from up here in Habersham County.

Plus 33 others from Georgia on that team and a bunch of’em are starters. They are my intangibles (Weizer-borrowed) for this game. They could come out and play like banshees; throwing, hitting, running. I would love to see Douglas and MacKenzie in the backfield. Douglas cleans out the hole started by the line and the Crazed Bowling Ball rolls through. Once in the secondary he can take care of himself and this team.

As a Georgia fan I have two games today. One is done, the other begins in about an hour and a half.
I have consulted the Oracle, spoken with the Kharmic Bitches, touched hats, read the entrails of a goat and so forth.
I got bad news.
Tennessee has lost the spiritual and temporal leader of its defense, A.J. Johnson due to an incident involving…well, lets say it is something considerably more significant than signing autographs.
Johnson is also one of the leaders of the Vols whole football team and a helluva football player, arguably the best player the Vols have (or had) on either side of the ball.
Despite all the blabber about Vols quarterback Josh Dobbs being the second coming of Peytie Poo, at some crucial point in the game, according to the Kharmic Bitches, Tennessee will make a mistake on defense that will cost them the game.
I hope my reading of the tea leaves is wrong, I surely do, because I think Georgia needs to have the trip to Atlanta in the bag when they play Tech to give Georgia that prideful edge.
Again, I will be the happiest Dawg in the pound if I am wrong, but if I am not, well Sooooooooeeeeeee Pig!!!!!!!

So, here’s how I fear it will play out. We crush Tech, but Mizzou wins out. Ole Miss loses today, but then waxes Miss St. in the Egg Bowl. Auburn squeaks out a win against Bama, and Tech surprises FSU. Ohio State loses sometime in the next couple of weeks, and according to the rankings, we’d move up into the top 4 of the playoff rankings (assuming the traditional logic). But ESPN will invoke the Herbstreit rule once again and we’ll sit at home.
Note that I’d agree we wouldn’t necessarily disagree with the rule, but it would still suck just the same.

1) the west isn’t as bad ass as everyone claims. It’s Bama and Mississippi State. 2 teams. The SEC has generally always has a couple contenders from each division. Ole miss reminds me of the new York Yankees trying to buy championships and flopping.

Missouri came into the SEC as a mediocre big 12 team. They’re about to go back to back as SEC east champs. Where have their recruiting classes been the last five years? Most likely outside the top 40. But they still put together better seasons than UGA. So keep tellin yourselves we have some sort of great football program and we can’t win without Richt. Keep watching highlights of Herschel running and pretending we are something special. This program is a joke given the talent we have, the money that comes into the program, and what we pay our coaches. Enjoy a loss to Tech and a bowl against Michigan State.

Is mizzou legitimately going to be the worst east team ever to go to Atlanta? This defense that Herbie and his buddies like so much gave up 34 to a flawed UGA team at home and Mauk is mediocre at best. He’s had a horseshoe up his ass in several games they should have lost.
And I kinda doubt that they do very much drug testing over there bc I’d be willing to bet Mauk smokes rope every night.

Well, we finally found an SEC HC who is worse at end-of-game clock management than CMR. Butch Jones is a complete idiot. UT had 3 TOs. His team was down 16 with 1:50 or so to go and first down on the Mizzou 1 yard line. On first down the UT QB slipped and fell. The kid got up and was trying to get the second down play off. 20 seconds tick off the clock and just when the center is about to snap the ball, Jones calls a timeout. He then calls everybody over to the sideline where he berates them for not going fast enough. The UT O then trots back on the field and next play runs it into the endzone. Then they scored a 2 point conversion–now an 8 point game–but they only have 2 timeouts now. I will not go into the clusterf#ck onside kicks but after the dust cleared UT has recovered to onside kick–only they touched the ball before it went the requisite 10 yards. Mizzou ball. But wait!! Butchie decides to challenge that the ball went less than 10 yards. He loses the challenge, thereby losing his second timeout. Now all Mizzou has to do is run out the remaining minute. If Butchie hadn’t squandered 2 timeouts UT could have gotten the ball back with about 1 minute to go with at least a chance to tie the game. But NOOOOO. I’m actually glad UT lost that game. They don’t deserve to win with a dope like that running things. Now, after they beat Vandy and go to a bowl, at least if they lose the bowl they will continue their streak of losing seasons. Arky is going to beat Mizzou next week anyway.

Richt’s clock management has been fine since his first Auburn game in Athens, that running play cost us a game. No biggie ever since, a 20 second lapse recently that had no impact, but we usually manage clock as well, or ,than our opponents.
Jones did butcher that one but here is the big surprise: the SEC refs completely blew the call on the onside kick. First they missed the Mizzou player touching the ball, that got corrected. Then they never called an offside penalty, then declared one. Now a screen grab shows every TN player on that kick and no one was offside (except the kicker’s left foot which I believe is allowed. There was no off sides at all on the play, should have been UT’s ball. Now, I don’t think they would have scored again with that offense, but who knows? A Hail Mary with receivers their size always have a shot….assuming that deer in the headlights QB knew which end zone they were going for,)

It will be interesting to see how the Vol Nation (such as it is) reacts to Sgt Carter’s complete Herbieization over his clock management at the end of the game. Herbstreit, who clearly knows more about coaching than any working coach in the biz, just could not stop second guessing every decision Carter made after the 2-minute mark.
