Celebration of the year

UGA vs. Ohio State

The Dawgs have scheduled a meeting with Ohio State in 2020 & 2021 home and home.   I know this is a very long time away BUT why the hell do we keep scheduling tough ass non-conference games??  I guess with the decline of Georgia Tech new Georgia AD Mcgarity (sp) is not looking at the nerds as a legit non-conference opponent.

What are some of yall’s thoughts on your team playing tough non-conf games? 

What's this play called again?

I think this play should be called “fuck it we give up” or “can’t win a bowl game” well on second thought Air Force did (bet he misses the good ole days at Navy when he beat AF) so I guess we will go with the first one.

Embarrassing

Come on PJ..  Last night was just flat out embarrassing for Georgia Tech.  Hell, I was embarrassed.  PJ better get his shit together because you do NOT lose a bowl game to Freakin Air Force.  AIR FORCE for Christ’s sake.. 

If he aint careful then he will end up just little north of Atlanta doing this…

Merry Christmas Bloggers

I just wanted to take a minute and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season. This past year on the blog was great and next year it should only get better. Stay classy bloggers!

BP

Mississippi State

Renardo Sidney and Elgin Bailey fight in the stands… In case you didn’t know, they are THE SAME TEAM!! Are you kidding me?  Really?  Two guys one the same team couldn’t find a better place to go at it than the stands.

If the name Renardo Sidney rings a bell, it should.  He was found taking extra “benefits” and was suspended.   I think Miss State should get out of the paying business.  It doesn’t seem to be working out to good for them.

 

"Roll Tide" Commercial

Has anyone else seen this commercial on ESPN? I am not sure if it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but it is quite comical. I like the one at the cemetery when they are finishing the funeral the best. My wife & I got a good laugh out of it.

Leach to MD? What do you think and another topic too?

OK, so we've all heard the rumors about Leach going to MD for over a year now and it finally looks like it's going to happen. Let me know what you think. I'm personally glad he ended up there and not at Da U(by the way, they claim Leach showed up at his first interview with Da U a few years back dressed just like the pic above) where he would have run shit. I still like the hire by MD and think Leach will do exactly what they need(create a brand/great, entertaining football and fan support), but don't really like how they handled the letting go of "The Fridge".

Speaking of "The Fridge", most of you probably don't know much about him and think he's just some fat slob. Well he is just that, but he's also one of the greatest offensive minds in all of football. A little history lesson on Ralphie: It all started when I went to the GT BobbyRoss/Bobby Dodd football camp in '87. Big Ralph was the guy who pretty much ran the show and he was a fat asshole back then. Little did I know this cat was about to lead my team to an NC in a couple of years with Shawn Jones at the helm. Four years after that he would lead the San Diego Chargers to a Super Bowl where they ran into a buzz saw known as the 'niners. Then his old friend George O'Leary(the DC at GT during the Ross years) takes over at GT, after the Bill Lewis debacle, and talks old Ralph into coming back to lead the Jackets on O. Well if you're any kind of a football fan you remember the Joe Hamilton years and just how good Tech was on O. Then comes 2001 when he wins an ACC title in his first year as MD's HC. He had several 10 win seasons which is pretty impressive at MD. Wins coach of the year this year and is told to walk after the bowl game.

With all of the above said, this is how I think Ralph's future is going to pan out in one of two ways:
1. He's either going to retire, get fatter, and ride off into the sunset or...
2. Beamer is going to call him and ask him to lead his talent at VT. If Fridge is pissed and decides to take the position as OC at VT, the whole nation better watch out. We all know what VT has had on D and special teams. We also know they've never had that great of an offense. If the fat asshole takes the job(and this is just pure speculation from me) VT will be fucking tough to roll with.

Best kickoff return in NFL history?

I think so.

Alabama QBs in the NFL

Is there any other State that com pairs to Alabama (ties) as far as QBs in the NFL? There are a total of 87 active NFL QBs and 7 are from Alabama or have ties to Alabama. If there is another State with more let me know.

What would you do II?

What would you do if you were serving on the school board in Panama City?

What would you do?

If you were the referee what would you do here?

Muschamp

Muschamp to Florida..  Feelings?  As a Bulldog it would be impossible for me not have some initial negative feelings about this but after sleeping on it here are my thoughts.

I hope WM does a good job.  The East was horrible last year and it’s a lot more fun when you have at least 3 teams that are real contenders.  Plus, how can I be mad or hate on a guy that takes one of the best jobs in College football and what will probably be a $3 million raise??  Hell no, I’m happy for WM and while I hope he doesn’t Zook it up down there I don’t want him to dominate like I would some where else.  It’s just a little crazy to watch a Dooley in Tennesse and now Muschamp in Florida.  I guess when Steve steps down in South Carolina then Kirby will take that job. 

I think Florida jumped the gun here.  If you are one of the Top schools in the entire Nation how could a Coordinator be your first choice.  I felt sure they would get a proven head coach so this surprises me.  Not that they landed on him, but that they hired him this quick.   When names that have Super Bowl rings and National Titles are “front runners” it’s shocking when you hear a DC get the job.

Sleep??

The only shitty thing about having a new born is the sleep, or lack of.  And that plays a pretty big part in my sports watching.  Last night was a perfect example of wanting to watch a little bit of Fantasy Football coverage on the NFL network and then my plans were to flip over and check on the Lakers/Bulls game.  I figured Kobe and Rose would be fun to watch…  I dozed off in the chair and missed the FF talk so I went ahead and switched over to the game and zzzzzzzzzz  woke up again and had no clue what was going on.  I then decided to just go to bed.  Then about 12 Audrey wakes up wanting Traci’s breast in her mouth.  Then about 2 Audrey has a stomach ache or something and doesn’t want to lay down anymore.  So I take her in the living room.  about 2.30 Audrey is a sleep so I go back to bed.  at about 3.30 Parker and Rachel come in and tell me that they are scared and can’t sleep.  So I go get in the bed with them until they fall back a sleep and then I go back to my bed about 4ish.  At 5.30 Audrey is ready to eat again so she wakes us up.  Then at 7 I get up and come to work..  This is a regular night at my house right now.  Again, I am VERY VERY lucky.  I could be in B’ham with her praying that she lives.  So these are all shitty things that I am thankful for but wanted to give you bastards that are kid free a night in the life of me. 

Note: Rose finished with 29 points and the Bulls came from behind to win by 4.  DAMN IT that would have been a good game to watch.

Look at these hard sunsabitches we have to deal with in NE GA!!

So hard you can even throw folk nation signs while being booked.

Odds

Here are the odds that Bodog has put out on the next Coach at Florida

Mullen 1/1; B. Stoops 3/1; Strong 4/1; Whittingham 9/2; Petersen 5/1; Malzahn 7/1; Patterson 15/1; Spurrier 15/1

Later Gator......

Anyone else find it suspect that in the same week the Broncos fire their head coach Urban Meyer leaves Florida?

CASH4GOLD

Any of you UFC/MMA fans?

If so, who ya got this weekend? George St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck? These two guys coached the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter and I really like both of them. I want to pull for Koscheck b/c he's from the old USofA, but I really respect St. Pierre even if he is a Canadian. I'll be rooting for GSP, and it would be a shock to the MMA world if Koscheck beats him.

SEC Championship

Alright Boys.  The SEC Championship is tomorrow.  (Reese, stop reading right now)  One of the things that separates the SEC from all other conferences is the loyalty.  You never hear at bowl games any body chanting “Big 10!.. Big 10!”  But it almost seems standard after a SEC team rolls over somebody to not hear chants of the school but chants for the Conference.   We are elite and we know it, so I guess we shouldn’t take offense when we are called elitist.. because we are.   We have the toughest teams.  The the craziest fans.  The biggest and fastest athletes.  We spend the most money on our coaches.  It is our religion.   And we are proud of it. 

The reason a 1 loss SEC team is always the highest ranked team is because when an SEC team plays for it all… they win.  Our reputation as the best conference helps all of us.   We have the biggest TV contracts and we get the most bowl bids and we win the most bowls.   That money is divided up amongst all of us making us the richest Conference.   Hell, we have conferences realigning themselves just to try and compete with us.  

This year is no different that the last 4 years.  Once again we have a team that is 1 game away from going to the National Title.  All they have to do is to get by one of the most successful coaches in all of college football, AGAIN.  Going through the toughest conference isn’t good enough for us.  We have finish it out on a neutral field just make sure. 

If Auburn wins out, do you guys understand what this means?  Do yall have any idea of how this completely cements the fact that College football almost has to put an SEC team in the title game no matter who it is?  We will have 5 National Titles in a row coming from 4 different schools.  Go back and find the last conference to have 4 different schools to even play in the title game, let alone win it, in a 30 year span, let alone a 5 year span.  Hell, find 4 schools in the last 50 years. 

The SEC dominates College football period.   Hopefully next year it will be Georgia.  But this year it is Auburn, since our regular season is over I will have 1 more hope for the SEC.  And that is for the Auburn Tigers to represent us Glendale and keep the crystal football in the Deep South where it belongs. 

 

I you are choosing to hate on a school because of their fans base.. then why are you choosing to be more like their fan base?

Villians

Last nights game got me thinking about players & coaches that have left teams - on their own or by being forced out - and the reactions that they have received upon returning to the city/arena. Who or what are some of the more memorable events that you can recall? Some of the more obvious - and most recent - in my mind are the following:

- Brett Favre
- Nick Saban
- Lane Kiffin
- Tiger Woods

Haven't put much thought into this as I am trying to be more productive at work today. To quote Culpepper: "The blog is the worst thing since Myspace and Facebook in regards to productivity at work."

This is what a guy looks like that ends his arguments with lol

Disturbing blog news....

Dateline NBC is on the lookout for the guy pictured above. Its been reported he likes 14 year old girls. I'm just reporting the news, not making it.

Southern Fried as AD

Southern Fried just got hired on as the hiring firm to help Miami hire its next Football coach.  Lets get started on making our short list. 

To start with I would like for us to just brain storm and throw out names and then we can sort through them and prioritize them. 

Jon Gruden is out.  So don’t mention his name.  Lets here some “obtainable” names.

After about 19 comments

1 Dan Mullen

2 Mike Leach

Kyle Whittingham, Mushchamp,Gus Malzhan, Georgie O’Leary, Dana Holgorsen, Randy Edsall,

The main reason you can’t find what Miami coaches make is because it is a private school.  I am under the impression that the school only pays a very VERY small portion of the salary and the boosters take care of the rest with “fund raisers”

This guy better dog tick Gus and hang on for dear life.

I love this blog!!

I love this blog, all the bloggers, all the shit talking, all the senseless drivel and all of the people that stop in to read what we have to say. The past two days have been some of the best I have seen.

How it went down

If it is not totally obvious by now that I am stuck in a hospital room then it will be now.  I have resorted to doing a post about posts… But anyway, it’s 11:30 at night and I have been up for about 20 hours straight so who gives a shit.

I think it got lost that Pulley did start off by recognizing that he has been WAY one sided and needed to make a post that wasn’t so Alabama biased.   Then shortly after removed all doubt in everyone’s mind that he not capable of that by saying, “Alabama is God.”  (the context was very sarcastic though which does give me hope that he is capable of posting on something other than Bama – and he even did do a little Cliff Lee post that got totally lost in all of today’s activities)

Then Pepper answered some questions about Cam and for some reason threw in a “28-27 ‘take the money and run’ straight through the Bamar defense”  Which I thought was very creative and a pretty damn good jab.

Then Pulley, surprisingly, does not go straight to personal attacks, he states - “I don't want to slight or cheapen the Auburn victory” – which was shocking. 

At this point Pepper obviously smelled blood in the water and attacked like a sting ray swimming near Steve Irwin.  Dropping heavy profanity and a huge slap in the face with a “you finished 4th in the SEC west. Nice season!”

Pulley was being punched pretty hard and why he decided to try to involve Starrett here I will not understand.   It seemed he had his hands pretty full with Pepper.

Then out of the blue Anthony Jumps in wanting to know why starrett gets called out and he doesn’t with a pretty good little jab of his on “Cam got your tongue” comment. 

Pulley was backed into a corner and came out swinging and swinging hard.  Asking really good questions and personally attacking Auburns best player in typical Pulley fashion with “He is a cocky ass punk”

Then the shit hit the fan.  Traci laid the wood to Anthony in what I thought was the best post of the day.  to much good shit to quote, find the comment yourself and read the whole thing.

Pulley voiced his admiration for Traci.

Anthony then responds (to pulley not traci.  Anthony has to see traci ) with some pretty damn good questions of his own.  Anthony at this point became a member of the blog in my eyes.  He was just a tweeter (or cleeter as pulley calls it) man and this was his first good sit down thought provoking comment. 

I just realized how much meaningless bullshit i have typed out and it would be easier for someone to just actually read what happened so I am stopping now.  again, i have been up way to long and they just came and took the baby so i am going to try and sleep for an hour or 2.  expect a good bit of blogging from this week.  hopefully they will be better than the shit i just typed out. 

Pulley vs Lee Round 100

Why do you keep blaming Saban for the loss? Please explain to me - finally - this sick infatuation that you have with him. Last I checked he wasn't suited up & playing in the game. Did Saban fumble the ball into the end zone after a 50 yard catch & run? Did Saban drop the wide open play action pass in the end zone? Did Saban fumble after being sacked and cost Bama a field goal? Did Saban overrun the pass on the second play of the second half and give up the touchdown? If you answer yes to any of those questions, please do the following: Open mouth, insert gun and pull the effing trigger. Ingram, Richardson, McElroy and Barron would be the responsible parties. I had hoped to play nice with the Auburn fans the rest of the year, but it seems impossible now. The Barns are very quick to point out how many times they have won the Iron Bowl, so why don't you fucking act like you have been there before? Its like your boon ass qb running around acting a fool after the game. If that was an Alabama player, you would be all over him. So don't tell me about his winning personality, megawatt smile or any other line of bullshit. He is a cocky ass punk. The best player in college football - HANDS DOWN, but a cocky ass punk all the same.

Sincerly,

Crimson Colored, Mouth Breathing, Opinionated, Asshole....................

Pulley

Pulley Pepper fight Round 1

Just incase anyone doesn’t read the comments on my post about my child i thought i would give the cliff notes to what is turning out to be a pretty good fight.

Pepper: 28-27 "take the money and run" straight through the Bammer defense!

Pulley: I have some comments on the Bama - Auburn game, but as I have stated previously I don't want to slight or cheapen the Auburn victory. In the end, a win is a win no matter how I or anyone else sees it.

Pepper: If I were you I would have some comments too like FUCK, SHIT, DAMN, and JESUS CHRIST!
Let me guess the 2 best RBs in the world shouldn't have fumbled and caught a TD pass your probably right but they didn't and that is why you finished 4th in the SEC west. Nice season!

Pulley: I have never - EVER - stated that Richardson and Ingram are the two best RB's in the world. Kind of thought you would give me a little more credit than that Pepper. Guess you have been sipping from the same cup as John. My comments are as follows: That wasn't a win, it was a gift. You know as well as I do that Auburn didn't deserve to win that game. But, as I said the night of the game, it cheapens it all to say that. Bottom line is that Alabama didn't deserve to win that game, but neither did Auburn. Anyway, luck has to be on your side and the breaks have to go your way to go undefeated in college football. Alabama had several last year, Florida had then during their run and Auburn has had a few this year. The trick now is to finish it. SC will be a tough game. It would be a shame to get caught looking ahead.

Pepper, your up.

Cliff Lee to the Yankees?

Would it really surprise anyone? Back in the playoffs it was reported that Lee's wife was spit on and verbally assaulted by Yankee fans. Did anyone actually think that this would stop him from (potentially) signing with the them?


Now I don't know her from the next famous trophy wife, but I don't see the following conversation taking place:

Cliff Lee: Honey, should I take the $160 million that the Yankees are offering me?
Wife: No dear. The fans spit on me and called me a whore.
Cliff Lee: You are right babe. I should take less money and stay in Texas. Thanks for the advice.

I picture it more like this:

Cliff Lee: Packs you bags trick. Daddy is getting paid and we are heading to NYC.

I am not even sure how many of the bloggers follow baseball. Just thought I would see what anyone had to say.

Audrey Lynn and some other stuff

Thanks Reese for posting the pic.  I got more.  And I really don’t care if you bastards don’t care anymore, I’m pretty sure that if this wasn’t my child that I would have lost interest by now also.   but it is my child, and I do have access to the blog so here is an update. 

Audrey was born at 7:01 central time this morning and was healthy and everything went perfect.  Traci is doing great and we are already settled in.  Parker and Rachel have both loved on her and the baby hasn’t really cried yet.  I mean a little of your typical shit when we put her down but all and all this is looking to be another great baby.  I’ll put up some video a little later after some people clear out.

Tomorrow night Prince James is going back to Cleveland and I look forward to seeing some of the worst fans in all of sports (next to philly) greet him back.  should be some good greetings.  and even better posters.

The Duke game I mentioned yesterday that was coming on “tonight” wasn’t last night, it is tonight.  They play Michigan State and it will probably be a doozie.  K and Izz are head and shoulders above everyone else in college basketball as my 2 favorite coaches and I look forward to them meeting tonight. 

FSU got spanked last night by Ohio state in Tallahassee.  the Noles typically play pretty good b ball at home, i don’t know if they are bad or if Ohio St is going to move right on after Evans departure. 

I am going to try and work on a post about Mike Vick.  I just read a really good article about him in SI and it said alot of stuff that I had been really hoping for.  I think he has potential to be really good story and I want to share some of the things that I think some of you guys would like also.

finebaum just tweeted that Auburn has been cleared in the Newton deal.  I don’t know to what extent but would love for Pepper to share some things – I know he is following it very closely.
