Profound. When he retires from coaching, he ought to teach philosophy.

When meteor games just mean more
Really, if you need a total reminder of why we feel the way we do about Florida and Tennessee…
Gawd, I love college football.
What is the opposite of a decided schematic advantage?
That would be this.
That’s some bad shit there, Booch.
I’m beginning to think I’m going to be offended if Georgia loses in Knoxville in a couple of weeks.
The answer to a question I never knew to ask
Yes, Virginia, there is a perfect way to end a meteor game.
If somebody’s gotta win, at least do it in the way that inflicts the maximum amount of pain on the loser. Mission accomplished.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a game where you run 90 plays, get 655 yards and lose.”
You lost to a coach who uses a friggin’ trash can as a motivational tool, genius.
Best get used to the feeling.

UPDATE:
Wednesday morning buffet
Hot, steaming chafing dishes… yum.
- Georgia’s young defensive linemen are “hungrier” this season.
- Unbridled optimism, part one: Pete Fiutak has Georgia going 10-2, beating Florida and winning the SEC East on the tiebreaker with the Gators. I’ll take that, happily.
- Unbridled optimism, part two: Barrett Sallee ups that by predicting that Georgia wins the damned conference. I’d take that, too, except I can’t quite wrap my brain around it.
- “I think Tennessee is headed in the right direction, a statement I won’t make for Georgia and Florida.” There’s always somebody.
- What makes a great college offensive line? That’s something every Georgia fan would like to know.
- Something else Sallee is bullish on: “That will change, though, because the SEC is about to be hit with an offensive explosion in 2017.” I’ll believe it when I see it.
- Bill Connelly gets deep in the weeds with this post about big plays, but the tl;dr summary is this: “Efficiency is everything in college football. Explosiveness is too random to rely on without efficiency.”
- “We’re the leading edge of a much larger iceberg when it comes to what’s coming in youth athletics.”
- This made me laugh.
Tennessee, I’m not sure you’re doing this slogan thing correctly.
Forget Booch for a minute and check out this metaphor:
Before the start of preseason camp, Kelly compared the Vols to a “snake in the grass” and said that “our goal is to end up biting somebody at the end of the day and making them pay.” Taylor made a similar reference in describing Tennessee’s underdog approach.
“I feel like we’re laying in the grass waiting to strike,” Taylor said. “Our team isn’t talked about as much now. I feel like we’re just waiting for our opportunity to shine.”
Gentlemen, I am not sure that phrase means what you think it means. Feel free to knock yourselves out with it, though.
