WTF, James Franklin?
You know, between Corch, Harbaugh and Franklin, the Big Ten East has the greatest concentration of douchebag head coaches in college football today.

You know, it’s one thing to gloss over the breathless hype of the recruiting sites or to count the stars in the 247Sports Composite. It’s quite another to see the aggregation of talent Kirby Smart has to deploy at his fingertips. It’s an embarrassment of riches.
That’s my takeaway from a brutally hot day in Sanford Stadium (and bless whomever had a hand in the mercifully sensible decision to shorten the fourth quarter by five minutes). In a game when the Dawgs’ offensive line play was sluggish — and with the weather, that was understandable — it seemed like every time the offense was on the verge of bogging down, there was a skill position player to step up and make a big play.
The story was similar on defense, as the middle of the line wasn’t at its best, but the outside speed cleaned up a lot of problems. As far as special teams go, if you were worried about Nizialek’s departure, don’t be. Camarda appears to have a bigger leg.
I’m not here to say Georgia looks like it’s ready to scale even greater heights this season than it did in 2017, but it sure as hell looks like Kirby’s carrying a loaded toolbox.
On to the bullet points:
Taking care of business is kind of boring, especially on a furnace of a day. Now, it’s on to the next furnace… oops, game.

A total of 27 new faces saw the field for Georgia yesterday, including a whopping 18 true freshmen.
An impressive minor detail about that is that the team only committed three penalties on the day. Intilling discipline at an early stage, for the win.

Yesterday, we were informed that seven Florida players were being suspended for the opener for “not living up to the Gator standard”.
Considering that Dan Mullen was around during the height of the Urban Meyer era, that’s one helluva selective memory he’s got there.

On Sunday, an Orlando-based lawyer took to Twitter to announce he would fly a UCF national champs banner over Camping World Stadium, the site of the Alabama-Louisville game.
Chad Barr, a 2004 graduate of UCF, made good on his promise Saturday…
“This isn’t an advertising scam where I’m taking an advantage for an opportunity,” Barr told ClickOrlando.com earlier this week. “It’s about pushing the brand farther along. So as long as we are in people’s mouth’s, they are talking about UCF, then we are in the picture and that means more than a trophy could ever be.”
Barr is a self-proclaimed Knights’ fan. “Just about everything in my life is UCF,” he said.
The lawyer, though, pointed out earlier this week that this is about sharing the spotlight with Alabama, the winner of the CFP national championship, not stealing it.
“We specifically chose to put the word ‘co’ in there so that everyone knows that we aren’t taking anything away from what Alabama did,” Barr told ClickOrlando.com. “We are just celebrating our achievement with them.”
Bless your heart, bud. I’m sure Alabama appreciates that.

TFW your wife picks up something hideous at last week’s garage sale and you won’t let it in the house.
That’s… really something.
