Go ahead and get you some.
- Pete Fiutak’s succinct description of this year’s Georgia Tech offense: “Square peg, meet round hole.” (Although he does predict a six-win season for the Jackets, which, should it happen, should vault Collins into serious consideration for ACC Coach of the Year.)
- I know folks try to make hay about Nick Saban’s age on the recruiting trail, but he sure sounds credible denying he’s ready to retire.
- Here’s a list ranking ACC schedules by difficulty, and, no, Clemson’s isn’t the easiest.
- Kirby Smart, on last year’s team’s mentality: “Players are taking ownership, which we didn’t have as much of that last year at this time. There was a lot more entitlement.”
- Mike Leach’s class wrapped up, with a final assignment to design three plays, under the premise that he might use one of them in Washington State’s game next season against Houston. He reviews five of those here.
- Details from Rush Propst’s personnel file ain’t pretty.
- Good point from Groo: “What stands out among this smaller senior class is that a good chunk of them are defensive linemen. Georgia returns six seniors along the DL next year…”
- North Carolina and Wake Forest have scheduled a non-conference home-and-home series. That’s got to be cheaper than what cupcakes are demanding these days.
- C’mon. You know you want to read a StingTalk thread entitled “Why do we hate them?”.

What about the guy that went on the vulgar rant about how stupid we all are, and then starts his last paragraph “Upon GENUFLECTION, it’s not just hate…?” I suppose he could really have meant kneeling in worship allowed him to get to the base reason he hates Georgia, but it’s much more likely he’s just not as smart as he’d like to think.

Oh, Mother take down your service flag,

Instead of fighting battles, He’s raisin’
A lot of heck.
He’s either playing softball or swimming
In the pool.
Mother take down your service flag,
Your son’s gone back to school.
Oh, Mother take down your service flag,
Your son’s gone back to school.
He’s not out fighting like he ought to do.
He’s never seen the ocean,
He’s never swabbed a deck,
Oh, Mother take down your service flag,
Your son’s at Georgia Tech.
Oh, Mother take down your service flag,

Instead of carryin’ a new M-1
He carries an old slide rule,
He’s raisin’ Hell in college,
He’s just a Ramblin’ Wreck,
Mother take down your service flag,
Your son’s at Georgia Tech.

I have two favorite kinds of Georgia Tech message board posts, both of which were on copious display in that StingTalk thread.
The ones that go on for paragraph after paragraph, each insult more florid than the last, but ends with a claim of “I don’t care about them at all.”
The ones that sniff about how they “have no respect for UGA fans,” as if that’s supposed to keep me up nights. Auburn fans like to hammer on this one too. My response is always the same: I don’t need your respect when I’ve already got your tears.
