Fuel up, folks.
- The Georgia Way – it’s not just for the athletic department anymore! (h/t Lrgk9)
- How was this kid not ejected from the game?
- Add Iowa State to the coaching carousel list.
- They’re just now getting around to figuring out how to fill all the bowl game slots?
- Les Miles’ fate at LSU sounds like it’s moved from the if to the when stage.
- Stuff like this probably doesn’t help.
- Does playing Georgia Southern’s triple option help the Dawgs prepare to play Georgia Tech’s version?
- Speaking of Tech, the season’s been disappointing enough that even the denizens at StingTalk can’t work up much an argument against Georgia being installed as a 4.5-point favorite.
Get The Picture 
Does the “Georgia Way” actually mean anything? Is reporting fraud not just, you know, the right thing to do in general? Are you referring tot he fraud itself as the “Georgia Way”?

I’ve certainly been in a company that let you set your own time at the executive level. Putting in extra time is a personal endeavor that could have two meanings: Too obtuse or lazy to get it done in an 8-hr period or really dedicated to work that is likeable and downright fun most times. Until I consulted, I didn’t think much about the extra time, but was aghast when I added up my weekly consulting time. Consulting or otherwise , my employers never questioned my hours which exceeded 60 hrs in most cases. When salaried, if I wanted to do something out of the ordinary during midweek, my boss was notified and in some cases asked why I hadn’t just taken it as comp time, something I don’t believe in. The company’s work was not pressing when I took time off for a special occasion and didn’t take it as vacation days.
I kinda agree with DawgPhan on her situation. It’s up to the person responsible for her production and not an outsider. Further, if she goes, her boss oughtta go also.

Actually comp time and flex hours came out of my work generation so not only do I have no issue at all with that, I helped grow it. But the idea of having employees specifically dig around to find questionable “marks” to tie into her agenda and not work by what is needed for the corporate good is more than just poor form. And anyone that will cheat the company for purposes of satisfying their personal agenda, is cheating you in many other ways.

Comp time is normal for a lot of people. Working in something fun on a work trip is often encouraged. If she was charging the entry fee for the marathons to her work, thats a problem. If she was running races while on work trips, not really an issue.

We were at the VT/UNC game (my nephew plays at UNC so I’m taking a hiatus from UGA while he’s there: and 8-1 to boot. Good timing!). If we think SEC refs are bad, don’t watch ACC, they’re worse. Never thought I’d be thankful for SEC refs. I was surprised he didn’t get ejected at the time but glad Frank Beamer’s career didn’t end with a player ejected.

it is absolutely insane to me that LSU is thinking about firing Les Miles. Or that anyone at UGA thinks firing Mark Richt is a great idea. Vince Dooley wouldn’t last 10 years at UGA today.

Dooley did essentially the same thing Richt did in his first five years, so yeah, he would have lasted 10 years.

Haha, and what about the next 6 where he finished ranked only once and the other 5 seasons were as bad as anything Richt has ever put out?
Dooley not only would be fired today, he would have been fired ten times at various points in his career.

He would have been feeling some pressure after the ’70 season, and then he went 11-1. Maybe they would have fired him as he struggled through ’72 to ’74, but Richt was given a chance to right the ship after ’09 and ’10, so it’s not a given. Beginning in ’75, Dooley had the most successful stretch of his career, so obviously he wasn’t going to be fired then. It’s also worth noting that Dooley and Eaves rebuilt the Georgia program from basically scratch. It is in such good shape now because of what Eaves and Dooley did.

Considering the more than obvious attempts by the officials to get Beamer a win in his final home game, it actually didn’t surprise me at all. We also took into account the rest of the season watching these guys make blunder after blunder and sometimes defend themselves with a completely different error.

Well, at least one of the nerds was realistic. He said the game would be a 17-14 cluster#$%@ given the two offenses. And the line at 4.5 seems about right. I honestly don’t see how we can count on more than a couple of TDs from the offense. We’ll have to rely on the defense to manufacture some short fields or maybe even some scores.
I think the defense will do well, except that Tech typically throws the ball fairly well for the few times they throw it. If the bust a big play or two, that might be all they need.

Assuming Miles has a good attorney he needs to negotiate a lump sum buyout of his contract so that he can take another HC job immediately and the money he gets from the new school won’t count against his buyout from LSU. I feel pretty sure that LSU would do that although they might want a stipulation that Miles won’t take a job in the SEC or maybe the SEC West because of concern that he might show them up in the future.

I would assume Georgia -4.5 against this Tech team would be a lock. I figure Georgia wins by 7. What that means is that Tech +4.5 is the lock. I suck when it comes to the spread. But this does seem to be the shittiest Tech team I have seen in many years. My God they are terrible.
