National Title

Alright, First and Foremost I would like to say that Alabama won the National Championship fair and square. They won it straight up and when you knock a player out on the other team on a clean hit – that’s part of the game. Last night during the game Pulley said that he was sure that I would feel that this Title would be tainted due to McCoy. I was insulted. No, this title is not tainted due to McCoy. Actually I think when you knock players out on the other team that shows just how much more physical you are than them.

That said… If McCoy plays in that ball game Texas wins by double digits. With 3 minutes to go in the game down by 3… there is no way that game should have been that close. And that is even after the ridiculous shuttle pass call from Mac Brown then Texas goes in to halftime down 17-6 with life. Especially when Gilbert Grape started coming in to his own and starts completing passes. If they were not trying to dig out of such deep hole I really think that Texas has legitimate chance to win that game. Hell, they had a legitimate chance with a 24-6 hole.

Mack Brown out coached Nick Saban. That’s right. And if any of you Alabama fans don’t admit that then you are wearing Saban colored glasses. I’m not saying Brown is a better coach, I’m saying that Brown was with in 3 points with a freshman QB on a team that is built around the QB on the bench - with 3 minutes to go - with the ball. You cant draw an analogy on the bama side. Bama is a more balanced team and you can basically plug people in (ie Richardson for Ingram). I understand that is due to coaching that is why I just said that I don’t believe that Brown is a BETTER coach than Saban but he did out coach him in that game.

Overall, the SEC just won its 4th straight Title. No other conference has ever won 4 straight titles and this helps all of us SEC teams out. It basically secures us in the Title game in any “controversial” year. If the 04 season is played next year then Auburn plays for the National title and for that every SEC school needs to thank Alabama, Florida, and LSU. Thank you, hopefully one of us can keep the streak going next year.

todd grantham???

uhhh. ok, i have never heard of him. i googled his wikipedia page and wasnt really impressed other than the fact that he was named assistant head coach by Saban. He is currently with the cowboys but only coaching the D line... i understand that i dont have to know/heard of/ be familiar with who ever Richt hires but i am getting a little nervous about this. Kirby's season is over tonight, i expect that his name will either have UGA DC behind it or he is completely out of the talks. At that point we wait till Saturday night to see if Dallas wins and then get word about this Todd Grantham guy. the NFL has a rule that no other team (NFL team) can not contact another (NFL) coach until the season is over. the rule does not apply to colleges contacting nfl coaches. so maybe we dont have to wait till the dallas season is over to find out about this grantham guy. i do know that the only time he actually held the DC title he was fired, and that was from the Browns. I dont know... i say on here that im happy with how secretive the coaching search has been and yet i jump on any rumor i hear and start critiquing the name right away. i suspect that we will have our man, KIRBY, this weekend and all will be well in the heart of the DAWG nation. i'm starting to have to convince myself this...

As for Richt.. who he hires has a lot to do with how he will go into next season in the minds of the fans. Van Gorder was really a no name and he worked out pretty damn good so richt is really batting .500 while hiring people that are not "proven" in the minds of the fans. Can you imagine how excited we will be with a name like SMART vs. how nervous we will be with a guy named... hold on... yea, Grantham?

Who is hot and Who is not?

All this talk about recruiting and coaching and all that has got me wondering who are the best coaches and who are the guys that need to go? I will provide you a list of my 5 best, 5 most underrated, and  5 most overrated at this time.

5 best.

1. Nick Saban- As much as it pains me to say this being and Auburn fan I have too. Having that much success at 2 different SEC schools, and turning around a program with no depth and thin on talent that quickly he is actually worth every penny.

2. Pete Carroll- If for no other reason he continually gets the best QB in the nation to come sit on his bench for 2 or 3 years then sends them on their way to the NFL(with this year being the lone exception). Not to mention no one is more consistent in the BCS games, yeah I know he lost a big one but how many has he won?

3. Urban Meyer- The only reason I have Urban behind these two guys is that USC and Alabama were in shambles when they took over and Urban took over a team that  already the pieces of a contender put in place. Ron Zook is one of the best recruiters in the nation . Urban was more capable of coaching up the talent that was already there.

4.Mack Brown- Consistently one of the best recruiters and nicest guys in college football. He has had some GREAT players come through there, for years he had trouble converting his on the field talent into actual national championship hopes, I think he has since figured out how to do that.

5. Jim Tressell- I know I know I hate him as much as you guys do, but he owns the Big Ten and even though he doesn't always win the big game he always gets to one. He wins old school with Defense and running the ball and you have to give him credit for changing that a little when he got a QB that could more. The fact he is evolving his offensive strategy ( which has always been the knock on him) means big trouble for the big ten.


5 most underrated. 

1. Gary Patterson- I know he is a hot topic lately but news flash this is not the first year that TCU has been a great team. He has always been a few pieces away from being able to compete in any conference and with two great years in a row and some young players to boot, watch out for the frogs to consistently try and push its way in the top 10 year after year.

2. David Cutcliffe- SEC fans know how good this guy is especially UT fans. I don't know if you noticed but Duke mattered in the ACC this year, and yes I do mean in football. I would say that Duke is on the rise and could compete to win their side within the next 4 years, but I won't, because Cutcliffe will have a much better job by then.

3. Mike Leetch- I know this bad timing for old Mike but if you at his track record he shouldn't be jobless for long. Everywhere he has been they were better when he left refer to Valdosta State, Kentucky, and now you can add TT to that list. Athletes, mainly QB's and WR's will come find the guy no matter where he is, and they are smart to do so.

4. Bo Pellini- Nebraska got a steal with this guy as their head coach and the impact was immediate. The only reason he is number 4 on my list instead of 2 is because it takes longer for defensive genius to build his defense than an offensive guru to build and offense, but I think we all saw this year that the black shirts are on their way back.

5. Houston Nutt- He has never really had a superior team in the SEC with the Razorbacks but no one was excited about playing them. I think Snead's bad was a blessing to him still going to and winning the Cotton Bowl and getting Snead back. Give him a few years to stack some recruits and Archie will be proud.

5 most overrated 

1. Les Miles- The wheels are slowly starting too fall off at LSU there are so many times you can win games by not knowing how much time is on the clock and throwing hail mary's. LSU is a built in recruiting mecca every player in Louisiana( where there are some outstanding high school football player) dreams of playing for LSU is not hard to get players yet he keeps getting the wrong ones.

2. Paul Johnson- I know, I know back to back ACC championship games, so what! Have you seen the ACC lately? The option out dated you don't need speed, or strength, or even athletes to stop it. Only discipline.  I think he has proved he will never win a big bowl game, a month to prepare for the triple option equals complete shutdown of the triple option. Paul will be back in D1AA in 5 years.

3. Mark Richt- This brings me the most pleasure to type, not because of Mark I have met him and he is a great guy, but because of all you obnoxious UGAy fans( thanks Pulley I am using that one now). Every year his recruiting class is surrounded by the likes of Florida, Texas, USC, Oklahoma and LSU. Yet they have one thing UGA does not, a crystal trophy shaped like a football. No team in my opinion has had recruiting classes as good as UGA's for a constant period of time and has no titles to show for it. 

4. Bobby Patrino- Yes he had a couple of years at Louisville. Then didn't cut it in the NFL and the reason is against NFL or SEC defenses you can't throw the ball 60 times a game and expect to be consistent. Which is why he ride the Arkansas thing until he sees the the grim future of what he brought to the program and he will bail for a Pac 10 job long before Arkansas crumbles.

5. Steve Spurrier- Yes I know I hate to say it as much as you hate to hear it. Has SC gotten better, yes they have but they didn't bring in the old ball coach to make them better, Lou Holtz did that, they brought him in to win, which he hasn't done in an awful long time I wonder if he forgot how. The days of Danny W and 5 wide are gone he just won't get those players at SC. I give him years before he practicing his swing to try and make the Champions tour.


Not so fast

Pulley, First of all I do think that Bama is going to win. I do think that Saban is a better coach. I also think that Alabama played a perfect game vs. Florida.... Now for what I KNOW!!! 1) Texas has as much talent as Alabama does. 2) Texas has heard over and over how much better and how much more physical Alabama is than they are and a fella by the name of Muschamp will have his boys fired up and ready to punch somebody in the mouth. 3) you got a D coordinator that every time he is asked a question it is about if he is going to stay at Alabama. 4) you got a RB that has been to New York to win a trophy that all but assures him he will not play well in his next game. 5) if you think for one minute that Texas doesnt match up talent for talent then your smoking crack. Their is a reason your QB came from their state and not the other way around. 6) In Texas’ last eight games when underdogs of 6-points or less, they are 6-2 straight up. AND the last time they played in this very same game they were an underdog to a USC team that was one of the most talented teams that we (our generation) have witnessed and Texas beat them.

I will say again. I think Bama wins this game. I will be pulling for Bama in this game. But you can expect a Texas team that will come in ready to play.

And one more thing. If Bama does win, can you and all the Bamar Nation do me and everyone a favor and act like you been there before? you would think with all the tradition that yall are constially talking about that you could act like something other than a Miami fan. The U comes to mind when I hear a Bamar talking after a game because its, "the world against us" attiude. The only difference is they speak ebonics and yall speak.... well most of yall have trouble speaking from all the snuff in your mouths. It is possible to lose a game because the other team played better. It is possible that Saban could get out coached. It is possible that he may not have his team as ready as you toothless bastards think he does. We are only a year removed from Bama embarassing the SEC in the sugar bowl. So WHEN Bama wins their 13th National Title and goes ahead of Notre Dame then try your hardest to act like you been there 13 times.

I thought i was finished but i cant go with out also saying to Auburn Tiger fans that i think if you dont pull for not only a school from your state, but a school from the same conference, then you are more of a embread bastard than i thought. Do you not understand that the kids on the Alabama team are from around here. Their is 59 kids that graduated from a High School in the state of Alabama on this team. These are local kids and if you cant pull for them then you need to really put things in perspective. And the argument that they (bama) wouldnt pull for yall aint workin for me. I understand that they probably wouldnt pull for yall but if you are going to act just like the team that you hate so bad, then maybe you are not as different from them as you thought

from Starrett to Pulley

Fact check....

"Bama has the #1 rated class coming in"....
By what service? Not Scout, not rivals, not ESPN. Bamarecruitinginsiderolltideroll? maybe?

Referencing Kirby Smart...what do you think he's going to say? He may or may not leave to come to UGA but here are the facts, UGA has not named a coordinator, is it maybe b/c their #1 target has not coached his final game? If UGA were targeting someone besides Kirby, I think we'd have an announcement by now. We know Muschamp isn't in the picture and I would guess that we aren't looking at Central Michigan or Troy assistants, so I'll assume we are still pursuing Kirby. "Why the hell would he do that?" Well lets think about it logically, first of all he played at UGA. Most people form relationships at college and tend to migrate back to that area if possible. He is good friends with Mike Bobo whom he played with which would mean he and a good friend are coordinators for a traditional SEC power. He would have TOTAL control of the defense. Does he have that at Bama - don't thinks so as Saban is a defensive guy. He'll name two of his own assistants. Like I said, whether or not he comes, I don't know. But for Bama fans to act like its nonsense further proves your original point about their arrogance Joe. No offense to you personally BP, just calling it like I see it.

John S.

also, if you check ESPN here you will find a story written just today about Kirby to Ga.. so i guess im the not the only person talking about it.

Best of 2009

Going back through some of the blog post from last year i was pretty impressed with how it went. We didnt keep it up daily but we did a pretty damn good job. So i put together a best of 2009 so you guys can go back to some of the highlights in the blog's first year...


(of course all you have to do is click on the link to go to that post)


John Starrett tells everyone how to "slay your bookie" with 3 losers - plus some pretty damn good pics on this post


"Steinhatchee" could have been my best post of the year, to bad i did it so early

"Double Digit dog could win outright"... and did. plus the pictures of Ashley Judd helped this make the list


"Why I hate Ga Fans" from Rusty was just a great post. along with "To Rusty, I'm Sorry" together made October 9th the highest ranked blog hits for the year


"Pretty Good Seats" also made the list


and "calling out Meet Joe Black" could be one of my Fav's (be careful for heavy profanity on this post from Pulley)

A big thanks to Reese, Starrett, Pulley, Rusty, Jody, and Culpepper. AND to all of the blogs fan base, "I promise to make this blog the best blog and I promise to not let any other blog out work me and you will never see another blog push his team harder than this blog will push its bloggers. God Bless."

Thoughts


1st - Mike Leach – Adam James is a spoiled rotten little bitch. When I saw him walking around on the sidelines of the TT/Mich St game with his little stocking cap on bobbing his head, like obviously his daddy Craig did when he went down on the chanclor, I got madder and madder. Mike Leach is the best thing to ever happen to the Tech football program and Adam James looks like the bully in karate kid (do you remember how bad you hated Johnny from the first karate kid?)



2nd - Playoffs – I hate the fact that the regular season ended this way with 3 rematches in the first round but it kind of helps my argument against a college playoff. Imagine if Bama had to play Florida again in the quarter final of a playoff bracket. But, as for the teams in the playoffs, I cant remember when this many teams had a really really good shot to win the superbowl. When you start looking at the teams I could make a case for several, but here is what Im thinking, right now… I may have to many upsets.

Wild Card Round

AFC

4 Cinncy over 5 NY jets

6 Balt over 3 NE (UPSET!!!)

NFC

6 Philly over 3 Dallas (UPSET!!!)

5 G Bay over 4 Arizona

Divisional Round

AFC

(SD would have Cinncy since Balt beat NE )

SD over Cinncy

Balt over Indy (UPSET!!!)

NFC

NO over Philly

Gbay over Zona

Conference Championship

New Orleans over Minnesota

San Diego over Baltimore

SUPER BOWL

San Diego over New Orleans as a 6 point Under Dog.

3rd – Big 10 – if the Big 10 adds 2 teams to form a 12 team conference then what will it be called since the Big 12 is already taken. I’m going with the Big North. I know, its good.

4th – Georgia Coaching search – “just a little patience, yeaaaaaa yea. Just a little patience. Yeaaaaaaaa yea. I've been walking these streets at night, Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeaaaaaaaaaaaa) It's hard to see with so many around, You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) And the streets don't change but maybe the name, I ain't got time for the game!”

all im saying is have a little patience people. If we land smart then it was worth the wait. If we land No Name from No Where University, then we will sing a different song.

5th - Four fingers at the start of the 4th qt. - Am I the only person that this absoulty annoys?

Thursday, December 31, 2009

Not really a lot to talk about right now on the DC hunt. Chavis' name has been the latest to be talked about but when Richt got question specifically about him he dodged the question as good as Ben Stiller did in Dodge ball. I expect that we will see Chavis get a raise pretty soon. Kirby Smart's name hasnt died yet. But!! I'm not sure what names are legit. Richt has done a very good job keeping names under wraps. Richt did say today that Garner is not going to be the DC and Garner is obviosuly cool with that. This is a good thing. CMR did say that the search may take a little longer than the first week of January. Could go on till the 2nd week.

As for the bowl picks I have been doing pretty good. if you notice my cod lock post this year is pretty much going just like last year. take a look and compare last year and this year games.

Calling out Meet Joe Black.....

You talked a ton of shit on this board throughout the season about the Gaytors, but we haven't heard one peep out of you since Alabama made Tim Superfagg cry like a little bitch on national television, gave your coach a heart attack and made him take an indefinite leave and basically donkey punched your fucking national title hopes back to Gainesville. It was easy for you to talk shit when the Gaytors were whipping up on UGAy and the other weaker SEC teams. Hell, you even told someone they sounded like a sore loser/Bama fan. Where you at Joe Black?? Step up to the plate and accept your ass whooping like a man.

Congrats to the Puppy Dogs

So UGAy wrapped up its season by beating up on Texas A&M. On one hand I am thrilled because my office (I work in Dallas) it littered with Aggie fans that try to say the Big 12 is on par with the SEC. However, it amazes me how far the pups and their fans have fallen. Not even 3 years ago, a trip to the Independence Bowl would have been looked at as an utter disappointment and a slap in the face of the "mighty" Bullfagg nation. Maybe the egos have been popped and people realize that Georgia isn't any good and nowhere near the top of the SEC. I mean, 5 losses? Or maybe this just goes back to a post made by Rusty Thomas in regards to UGAy and their fans. Arrogant, obnoxious, classless idiots. If this were any other team playing in the Independy Bowl, these same fans would be laughing and talking shit. But since it's the puppies playing, it is time to celebrate like they just won the national championship. This win will surely spark talk next spring that this is the year the Pups win it all and that UGAy is the most dominant team in the country. So with that I say congrats on a stellar victory over the mighty Texas A&M Aggies. Now go pop your collars, front tuck your khaki pants and have another bud light, douche bags.

3 BOWL COD LOCKS!!!!

Christmas is here and that means its bowl season my friends. Bowls can be a gambling nightmare. Most of the time of time there is only one or two games being played and you do your research and see where one team should actually dominate the other but it doesn’t always work out like that does it?

Last Year on the 7 games that were played before Christmas the Over hit on 5 out of 7 games.

Between Christmas and New Years Day the Under Hit 15 out of 20 games.

Then on January the 2nd when the Cotton, Liberty, and Sugar bowls played we had the Dog win outright in all 3 games.

We had 4 games with a total of 70 plus points and in all 4 games the Under hit.

And What about this… of the TOP 10 Scoring offenses in 2008 only 1 went Over and 9 went Under.

After looking at all of this here is what I have come up with..

Boise State playing TCU with a total of 55…. UNDER!!!!!!!!!!

Cinncy playing Florida with a total of 57…. UNDER!!!!!!!!

And now for the COD LOCK pick of the bowl games.. this one cant lose and you can watch it on Christmas EVE while your all boozed up and trying to put together some bullshit toy that your wife bought that has 1800 pieces and none of them are colored coded and your trying to find piece AA to put in 1B and you need to use the 3rd smallest screw in the world before you have to decal the bastard. Anyway, take the under in the Nevada/SMU game. The total is 73, remember how all 70 plus totals went under. AND you have the 5th highest scoring team in the nation, remember how 9 out of 10 highest scoring offenses went UNDER. The only thing that concerns me is that the game is played before Christmas and we did have 5 out of 7 go over last year before Jesus’ Birthday and it was in this bowl but it was Notre Dame and if your remember they had a field day out their and they did have baby Jesus on their side. TAKE THE UNDER ON CHRISTMAS EVE and after you completely screw that toy up that you were trying to put together… you can go buy you another one on me.

And the search goes on

Who the hell knows who are when anything is going to happen on the DC job. Richt said that we should have moved on something by the first week in January but maybe not, but hopefully so, but there is a chance they we want, but a good possibility that we will, but maybe not. Again, its very frustrating to not have a clue about what is going on but I do appreciate the fact that we are not publicly getting turned down. Who thought Mark Fox was going to be the next basketball coach?

I’m going to continue giving you names that are still being talked about in Athens. Keep in mind people that there is absolutely no substance to any name or any list. But these names are not just who I’m making up, I am actually hearing or reading about these names.

Kirby Smart (his name will be flying around until he actually comes out a publicly says something a lot more concrete than what he said at the award ceremony)

Brain Van Gorder (I’m not sure why he is still being talked about. I kind of threw his name out of the mix but for some reason his name is not dieing)

Ellis Johnson (this is another name that kind of want go away, and I’m kind of glad. He is not my 1st choice but defiantly some one that I wouldn’t mind falling back on)

Dick Bumpas (again, still being talked about but Gary Paterson just got a raise and if im not badly mistaken he is getting all of his assisatances raises also – but I would love this guy. I’m not sure I wouldn’t put him #1 on my list. For real, his stache alone is motivating)

Now for some guys that I have just recently heard about… instead of me telling you about them, just click on their name and you will go to their bio. Or wikipedia page

Reggie Herring -
Bob Sanders - be sure to click "more" to read his full bio.
Manny Diez - this guy may be worth taking a gamble on.

Dont Hate the BCS

Before you go off on some tangent about how much better a playoff system would be than the BCS, be careful what you wish for… The NCAA tourney that everyone just loves has 65 teams in it and every year we watch teams that you know are better than some 15 and 16 seeds that don’t get in. Now with 65 teams you would have to think that surely to god that this enough teams to determine a true National Champion, since that’s what everybody is bitching about.

Well here is my concern my friends… While I would just absolutely love a 4 or 8 team playoff I know that it wouldn’t stay that number for long. And eventually it would grow and grow to the point that it would be about a 24 team tourney. Before you tell me that would be ridiculous, before you tell me that the reason there is so many teams in the March Madness is the amount of teams there are in D1 BBall. There are 347 teams in D1 basketball and 65 make the tourney. That’s just shy of 20% of the teams. There are 120 D1 (It will always be D1 to me) teams and 20% would be 24. You see where I’m going with this? The NCAA tourney started out with 8 teams and has grown slowly to 65 and I don’t want to see College football go from 4 to 24. All you would need to do is make the top 24 and you got a chance to win the National Title. Ask yourself how lame the non-conference schedule would be then. Ask yourself how many Bama-V Tech, USC-Ohio ST, Ga-Okl St, etc… how many of those games would you see if all you needed to do was make the top 24? College football has the best regular season of any sport by far and because every single game counts. Every single Saturday something happens that closes doors for somebody and opens up doors for others. We would lose all of that just so we could have a “clear cut” national champion. As for me, the National Title has been pretty clear cut. I mean, just as clear cut as the NFL. Last year the Arizona Cardinals got their asses handed to them the last 3 games of the regular season and it didn’t matter one bit, still had a chance to play in the big one. The New England Patriots beat the New York Giants in New York and then a month and half later lost to lose the Super Bowl. Imagine if Florida and Bama got matched up again this year in a playoff National Title and Florida wins by 2 points. Would Florida be the “clear cut” National Champion? Hell NO!!!!! So if you think for a second that a playoff solves all problems then you are wrong. The only thing that gives you a clear cut Champion is a best of series and you cant have that with football.

As I said earlier that I would LOVE to see a 4 team playoff or a “plus one” kind of deal… but its not worth the chance of getting some 24 team playoff in the future. So be careful what you wish for.. once you get it, it will be here for good.

Friday

Mack Brown gets a $2 million raise? i couldnt find any recent facts but i found that in 2006 that texas had the highest revenues of any college football program but Georgia topped the list at profits. this is because we are not paying out as much as schools such as texas but we have the opportunity now to see if we (Damon Evans) wants to be a top tier school and is welling to pay top teir money. This year Georgia ranked 6th in the SEC on assistant coaching salaries with UT, LSU, and Bama being at the top.

speaking of coaches Billy Gonzales is no longer part of the Florida football staff and with multiple players leaving early for the draft... who knows but we obviously will get to see a Urban Myer that we havnt ever seen before.

KER - BEE!!! KER-BEE!!! KER-BEE!!!
on the Kirby watch we have had what appears to be more rumors than anything but at least we can still see smoke and normally you dont see this much smoke with out some fire. The good thing about this is that obviously Richt is going about this in the most professional manner that you can imagine. its nice that we haven't publicly been turned down by 3 or 4 people. Richt is doing a great job keeping this out of the rumor mills but is the reason no other names are surfacing because we dont want them to? Are we all completely selling out on the idea of Kirby or nothing? I hope not. dont get me wrong, i want the kirbster more than anyone but some of the other names that were being thrown around earlier weren't to shabby either... with the Gayterds needing to replace strong and who knows about other coaching jobs that are about to come open, im about to start to get a little nervous!

I have been told by someone who considers them self a "insider" that the Smart announcement will come by next wed. PLUS Travis Jones has already been contacted and offered a postion on Smart's staff. I have not confirmend this but i just sent Bobo a text and im waiting for his reply.

Thursday

I think im further away from knowing who the next DC is than i was before Richt fired Willie and the boys. Here are some links that may help you guys that didnt give me much help... (just click on the RED words and they will guide you to the site)

Jeff Schultz of the AJC manages to say abouslty nothing in GET SMART?

On Line Athens wrote a entire article that was summed up with the head line Smart 'happy at Alabama'

the Junkyard Blawg actually makes some good points that you may not want to read....

the Bleacher Report actually has a pretty good letter to Mark Richt that kinda of hit me in the face.

3 COD LOCKS!!!

FLORIDA –5 ½
ALABAMA 41

Last year I was very fortunate to be able to attend this ball game and I felt that it was one of the better ball games that I have ever seen live. In 4TH qt I witnessed a man take over a ball game like I have never seen before. Tebow completed passes in that quarter that I didn’t think were possible. Having said that I have been reading things this week about how dominant Florida and Tebow was last year in this very same game. What I am not reading is how less dominate Tebow has been this year after he was laid out in the Kentucky game. Lets just look at the scores alone. (NOTE: ONLY SEC GAMES WILL BE FIGURED IN ALL OF MY STATS AND AVERAGES) The Gators have scored 255 points in all 8 games this year compared to 360 last year. That’s 2 TD’s per game that they are scoring less this year than last. And on the defensive side of the ball the gators are giving up almost the exact same with 12.4 in 08 and 12 in 09. I honestly feel that this can be contributed to a couple of things. I think that when Florida played UT that Myer had a very conservative game plan and new he didn’t need to score many points to win, same against LSU. The LSU game alone Fla scored 38 points less than the year before. And in the So Carolina game the gators scored 32 points less. They are a much more conservative team this year and Vegas obviously agrees seeing that both of these teams on defense are not that much better from the year before but yet the total in the game is 2 TD’s less than last year. Alabama on offense is scoring just 1 point less per SEC contest and giving up just 2 points less than last years D from 12.6 in 08 and 10.6 in 09. And Bama is scoring 6 points less than last years team even with a heisman contender in Mark Ingram, even though I think Coffee is a better RB than Ingram.

With all this said I feel the game will come down to McClains ability to read the misdirection plays that Florida will be throwing at him. I don’t think he did a very good job against Auburn and if the Bama nation thinks that Auburn runs a high school offense and that’s the only reason why they were able to score on them then what do you call Florida’s offense when Tebow pitches it inside to a TE or Demps runs around for a reverse or when Tebow fakes a run up the middle and does a F’n jump pass? What do you call that offense Tide fans? What ever it is it works when you have talent and Florida has plenty of that. As for my pick…. I started this blog out with full intentions of picking Bama to win out right. I even called the radio show this morning and picked Bama but the more I look into this game the more I realize that Florida is a better football team and they flat out know how to win ball games. In the 4th Qt when the game is on the line, who would you pick Tebow or Mcleroy? I think Bama may keep it close, may even cover but the Gators go back to the National Title and my pick on the game is the OVER!! Something like a 27 – 23 type ball game maybe 27 – 20. either way the game goes over.

THE PANEL AS A GROUP WAS A COMPLETE TOSS UP. WE WERE ALL OVER THE BOARD.

BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP

Cincinnati –2.5 wins BIG, REALLY BIG. I mean come on, who is Pitt? Who is that guy with the porn star mustache on their side lines that calls himself a coach. I know with all the hype around Kelly going to Notre Dame everyone thinks it’s a distraction but I can assure you that he has this team ready and Cinncy wins by double digits as a small favorite.


PAC 10 - 7 point dog that wins out right Washington beats Cal out right as a 7 point dog. With Best out Cal has shown that they cant do anything, take the Huskies and win BIG!!

Def. Coordinators

My list of Defensive Coordinators that I told Coach Richt to go after last night when he called me after I congratulated him for the firing. That was tough on Richt and I assured him that I didn’t suggest him do that with out a solution to the problem. So here is my solution.

(click on the name of the coach and you will go to their Bio)
1st Choice
The sexy pick is Kirby Smart. Coaching with Nick Saban and helping Alabama to one of the best Defenses in the nation is the reason why Kirby is the sexiest pick out there. BUT some people believe that Kirby is going to FSU under his Ole pal Jimbo Fisher and others believe that he isn’t planning on moving till its to go to a head coaching job. My feelings are that no coach under Saban has gone to become a head coach on his next move and FSU is in a lot more trouble than Georgia talent wise. Kirby could come into a talent infested team that was horrific last year and only move up. Plus he would be under Richt so he would get full credit for the Defense. Throw in the fact that he can hire two of his coaches and you have atleast a shot at getting him.

2nd Choice
Ellis Johnson’s name has been thrown out there a good bit and I think he would be a great fit for the Bulldogs. His contract does run through 2011 but his past shows that he will leave a program under contract. The thing I like most about him is his aggressive style and when I watched South Carolina play this year I was just amazed at how hard the defense would get after the ball on every play. Ellis is obviously not looking at becoming a head coach so he wouldn’t be just a quick fix.

3rd Choice
Im going out a limb here and looking at someone who’s name hasn’t even been mentioned. Everett Withers of North Carolina served 6 years under Jeff Fisher at Tennessee and now is serving under Butch Davis. UNC is landing big name recruits left and right and their Defensive back field had 20 picks this year with 4 being returned for TD’s. GA had 8 total.

4th Choice
If we don’t have one of the top 3 then at this point im starting to panic and I go with Charlie Harbison of Clemson. Clemson ranked 21 Nationally in Defense and at this point I really don’t know who the hell else is out there. I want to stay close to home because of recruiting and Charlie ….. Wait a damn minute, this guy finished 4th in the weak ass ACC so if we don’t land the top 3 then we are just shit of luck.

Rival Week

Before I get into my picks I would like to first say that If Head Coach Mark Richt does not fire the following people then he needs to join the ministry because he sure as hell don’t need to be coaching the Georgia Bulldogs.

FIRE!! Willie Martinez – really don’t need to explain why, just look at the points everyone puts up on us. OR look at the amount of forced turnovers. OR just watch a game and see how wide ass open the wide receivers are when they catch the ball.

FIRE!! Jon Fabris – Special Teams is a F'n joke this year. our kickoff coverage is pathetic and we have our second string QB Logan "fair catch" Gray fielding punt returns. is he the only kid smart enough to understand when to catch it and when to return it? Javar Arenas from Alabama is one of the best punt returners in the nation. Mike Dumbass Shula found him and Fla Atlantic was the only school to offer him a scholarship other than Bama. My point (which is hard to understand sometimes) is it cant be to hard to teach someone when to fair catch and when to run.

FIRE!! Clay Walker – Why is it that every year we get the “injury bug” as the Reverend Richt likes to say? Ill tell you why, because this queer isn’t getting our guys tough enough. Bring in some body that will shoot these guys up with some HGH and lets get it done.

FIRE!! The water girl. We don’t need Richt’s stupid wife on the side lines. Put her ass up in the stands with all of her adopted kids and maybe her husband will grow a set of nutts.

On Saturday night I will smile and cry at the same time. I will smile when the Dawgs finally man up and beat this group of over achievers from the ACC and I will rejoice when I watch all of those 1600 S.A.T.’s get crazy as hell and maybe say, “shit” out loud and then giggle because their gay asses feel bad for cursing. I will on the other hand shed a tear when I see Reverend Richt embrace Wille Martinez in his arms and I will then start to pray asking the good Lord, “please Oh Lord give Mark Richt the courage to fire as many people on this Georgia staff as he can and Oh Lord please help Damon Evans to threaten the Reverend Richt that if he doesn’t grow the balls to fire at least the 4 people previously mentioned that his ass will be gone with them. Thank you Lord.”


The picks that you will think were delivered after the game was played.

BONUS PICK!! BONUS PICK!! BONUS PICK!!
TAKE THE 7 POINTS THAT THE QUEERS FROM ATLANTA ARE LAYING AND WATCH THE DAWGS KEEP THIS GAME WITH IN 7 POINTS.


Arizona –3 @ Arizona State

Zona is coming off a hard double overtime loss to the Ducks of Oregon so this week should be a let down right? Next week Arizona has USC so this is a look ahead right? NO AND NO!! this is why the line is a RIDCULOUS 3. Zona has wins against ucla, Stanford, and a really tough Oregon state team and came close to beating one of the hottest teams in the Nation in Oregon. Arizona State has wins against Idaho St, Louisiana-Mon, Wash St, and Washington, that’s it… that’s the only teams they have beaten this year.. and they are only getting 3 points against a team that like the wild cats who actually had a chance to win the PAC 10 this year? Home dog in a in state rival screams take em, right? No sir re bob, not in this one my friend, not in this one.. zona is 5 and 2 against the spread in the last 7 games played @ Arizona State and last year won this game at home 31-10 as a 13 point favorite. This year Zona is better and State is worse..

Wild Cats (MEEEYAHHHOOWWWW)


Mizzo vs. Kansas

Alright MANgeno is on his way out the door and your not going to see a “win one for the gipper” because the team hates him. HATES HIM!!! The team wants his fat ass gone and he has lost complete control of this locker room. Not one player has come forth and stood up for the fat guy and what on earth makes Vegas think that this will be less than a touchdown ball game.. Mizzo is coming in on a 2 game winning streak while the gayhawks are on a 6 game losing streak (after starting 5 and 0 by the way). Its been all down hill as of late for the hawks and Mizzo comes in and takes advantage.
Mizzo –3

THE DAWGS

I got a call this morning from a douche bag that asked that I make Georgia one of my Cod Locks so that Auburn would win…. Alright, as bad as I hate to say it the Dawgs need this win to become bowl eligible and we need all the extra practice we can get for next year. Auburn beats a mediocre Ole Miss team and a couple of Bullshit Ball States and now Chizik is everybody in Auburns Facebook friend. Well maybe he well make his status Sunday morning this…”I’m sorry my team quit on me in Athens yesterday, Little Trooper tried to keep them fried up with his little towel but it didn’t work. I love Gus’s penis.” (also if you want to read where i ask if chizik was the right move, click HERE or if you want to read where i picked UK to beat Auburn outright as a double digit road Dog then click HERE)Auburn has no chance in this game after Georgia got healthy on Tenn Tech. (oh yea, had someone try and justify why Auburn gave up 31 points to Furman) The Dawgs are healthy, the Dawgs are Hungry, and the last time Auburn came between the hedges Soldier Boy was my ring tone for the same Douche Bag that asked me to pick Auburn today.

Maybe I’ll have time to get some more picks up today

No Picks from me this week

I will be hog hunting all day Saturday and it should be an adventure. The guys we are going with told me not to bring a gun….uhhh ok. Then what do I kill them with? We will be using knifes and bulldogs. WOW!! Ok, so here is what we do. We will send bay dogs to run the hog down and bay it up and then release a catch dog to go in and grab it. Then one guy goes in and grabs its back legs, flips it over, and then someone else jumps on it and stabs it in the chest. I’m sure I will have some pretty good stories for you guys soon.
