Five burning questions as we head into the weekend:
1. Can Georgia Tech even slow down Tyrod Taylor? Cameron Newton is the leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy, but if you’re looking for someone to challenge the Auburn quarterback for the prize, look no further than Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor. This guy is having an incredible season. He is second in the ACC in total offense behind N.C. State’s Russell Wilson (2,129 yards) but he leads the conference by averaging 8.48 yards per play. He is the most efficient passer in the ACC (and No. 4 nationally) with 15 touchdown passes and only three interceptions. He is responsible for 112 points, second only to Wilson. This is the guy Georgia Tech has to at least contain tonight in order to have a shot in Blacksburg.
2. How many running plays will be called for Cameron Newton on Saturday? No. 2 Auburn (9-0) faces Chattanooga at home where the No. 1 goal has to be fine tuning and getting ready for next week’s visit by Georgia. All I know is that when the Tigers played Louisiana-Monroe on Oct. 2, offensive coordinator Guz Malzahn did not call a single running play for his talented quarterback. Despite rushing for “only” 45 yards last week against Ole Miss, Newton still leads the SEC in rushing with an average of 124.67 yards per game. That number will take a hit on Saturday because Auburn will sew up the game by halftime and get the big fella some rest.
3. Can LSU put the game on Greg McElroy’s right arm? There is no big secret about what No. 10 LSU (7-1) hopes to do when No. 6 Alabama (7-1) comes to Baton Rouge on Saturday. LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis is going to commit the necessary resources to keep Alabama’s running game–led by Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson–from wearing the Tigers down. He will force Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy to throw and bet that his best defensive player, cornerback Patrick Peterson, is good enough to keep wide receiver Julio Jones in check. If it comes down to that, watch the matchup between Peterson and Jones every chance you get. Those are two first-rounders who are going to be playing against each other on Sundays.
4. Can South Carolina slow down the Arkansas passing game? I’m probably going to pick South Carolina to beat Arkansas at home on Saturday but I don’t like the matchup for the Gamecocks. No. 1, Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett, who needs just 551 yards to reach 3,000 yards passing again, can put up big numbers on just about anybody. South Carolina is dead last in the SEC in pass defense (259.88 yards per game). The Gamecocks will be without starting cornerback Chris Culliver (shoulder) who has been lost for the season. Arkansas will be without Greg Childs, their leading receiver (46 catches, 659 yards), due to injury. Guess the Head Ball Coach had better give it to RB Marcus Lattimore a bunch and hope for the best. Also, by the time this game is kicked off (7 p.m.), South Carolina will know if Florida has beaten Vanderbilt. If the Gators win, South Carolina knows that even if it loses to Arkansas, it can earn a trip to the SEC championship game by winning next week at Florida. I’ve seen teams let down because of a lot less.
5. Will Miami go into the tank against Maryland? The Hurricanes lost QB Jacory Harris to injury (helmet to the chin) last week and fell at Virginia. It was a bad, bad loss for Miami. Still the Hurricanes (5-3, 3-2 ACC ) can win the ACC Coastal because they have Georgia Tech (Nov. 13 in Atlanta), and Virginia Tech (Nov. 20) to play. But this team had better not look ahead because on Saturday they host Maryland (6-2, 3-1) which has suddenly jumped up and become a contender in the ACC Atlantic. Ralph Friedgen’s Terps hung 62 points on Wake Forest last week. And it looks like the Fridge has found a quarterback in freshman Danny O’Brien (13 TD, 3 INT). I’m hearing from a lot of upset Miami fans about the direction of this program. Harris will not play nor will Miami’s best running back, Damien Berry (690 yards).
BONUS QUESTION
Whatever happened to Warren Morris? Warren Morris was Vince Dooley’s long time trainer at the University of Georgia and will be among those honored Saturday when Georgia recognizes the national championship team of 1980. Morris and his wife Debbie sold their home in Athens and have moved to Montana. Warren is technically retired but he has come up with a new invention, The Morris Boot, that can be used treat sprained ankles and foot injuries right on the sidelines. The Boot basically allows trainers to put the injured foot into a big, form fitting plastic bag, pack it in ice and seal it. In the past trainers have just taken an Ace bandage and wrapped a bag of ice around the foot, which was kinda messy and inefficient. This allows the player to keep his shoe on, if necessary, while getting ice immediately on the foot.
It sounds really simple and looks really simple. Some of the best inventions are. Anyway, having had my fair share of sprained ankles I thought it was cool.
If you’re interested in that sort of thing go to his website at www.morristechnologies.com.

I got tired of reading about all the dawgs that disagreed with your article yesterday about Todd. It amazes me that the dawg fans want to oust Urban for using his “thug”, when UGA was playing a whole group of thugs, including their defensive coordinator! It was the Thug bowl, and Florida came out on top. The whole season has been an embarrassment to the university, and I’m not talking about the win/loss record. It’s not the good research that UGA is now known for, it’s the thugs they have as student athletes.

FYI Tony — LSU may be able to rattle Greg McElroy, but if it comes down to a full through-the-air attack, Bama will bring in AJ McCarron, known as Mr. Laser by the receivers. I’m not making this up — McCarron will be an option for LSU this Saturday, and they won’t like what happen after that. You heard it here first. Big Question? Can LSU score more than 17 on Bama? I’m betting Bama can score one more touchdown than the Tigers.

I think GT can beat VPI tonight in Lane Stadium. I don’t know if Tech can stop Tyrod, but maybe slow down the running game down and GT does have a shot to win.
Cam Newton will be out of the game at half time.
McElroy will not use his are too much to beat LSU.
USC and Garcia just have to not lose the game. If Garcia just makes smart passes the USC Defense will take care of the rest.
I think Harris is still a lil urt’n and Maryland needs to hit him a few times and then the Terps can win.

1…Any stats compiled in the ACC should only be given half credit. LOL!
2…I’m sure they’ll rest Cam after the first half for the big showdown w/ Bama.
3…Expect a tight game with Bama coming out on top late in the 4th. LSU’s defense is a test for anyone not named Cam.
4…As much as I hate to say it, I expect Arkansas to beat USC. The East is a notch below the West this year from top to bottom.
5…Once again, it’s the ACC. Who really cares? They’re all waiting for the first tip-off. That conference needs to forfeit their automatic BCS bid until they can put a team (any team) in the top 10 at the end of the season. ONE TEAM RANKED 22nd IN THE BCS DOES NOT MERIT A BCS BID!

I don’t have any respect for TONY BARNHART anymore, and as a Georgia graduate, I’m extremely disappointed in his judgement, which is far worse than TODD GRANTHAM’S. Anytime a commentator writes “that is so far over the line that it can’t even be debated”, that is HIS OPINION, and where does get get off telling me that what HE said cannont be debated. How ELITE Tony has become after going “national” and it seems that political correctness comes with more than one trip to New York City, and moreso if the visit is to CBS. Barnhart the AJC have “always been separated at the hip” — but not anymore. He fits right in with the POLITICAL CORRECTNESS oozing out of that place, usually from Jeff Shultz — and NOW FROM TONY BARNHART. GATA Todd Grantham. (Incidently, I don’t read Tony anymore, so the placement of this comment may or may not “fit”. But surely that is debatable, too).

The Morris Ice Boot. As a runner, I’m all into medical helpers for the lower extremities. Although it wouldn’t be prudent to toss in a running bag when heading out to run rocky trails, I can see the benefits on the BB courts, football fields etc. Sounds like a good tool for treating an acute or cronic case of Achilles tendonitis, too. Hint to all : Do not neglect your ankles if you participate in a motion sport. Strengthen those suckers as best as you can..! If you’ve ever had an ankle injury, you won’t want a second one but if you move, it’s always possible.
Peterson locked on Jones would be worth the price of admission. I give the nod to Jones if he has the same burning fire against LSU he had against Tennessee…

BUT….. in the next year or so, IF UGA gets assigned a Thursday night game (and after this year it is possible)…… Tech will be hooting and hollering while making fun of UGA for playing on a Thursday.
Watch…. wait…… it MAY happen.

Murphy, the Tigers do have some offense as the running game has improved over last season. The passing game is the problem and it’s not just all on Jefferson and Lee, as the receivers have been dropping balls.
LSU will need a balanced offense by throwing the ball downfield with some success in order to have a chance. Nick will likely play man to man with his corners so that he can blitz and also use a safety to stop the run. Our receivers are tough to lockdown but the problem is getting the ball to them and them consistently holding on to it. We haven’t been able to do this all season so I don’t see this changing now.
Also, Julio Jones gets the hype but Maze would be a number one WR on many teams.

The question for him was this: Is it his offensive scheme that is great or is it because he has Cam to run it.Dont know if thats a fair question.Cam could make any system look great.

If yall can have success running the ball it will be a good tight game.The 4th qtr is were this game will be decided and my money is on Bama. I believe this is a must win for Les.

The dawgs are in the SEC right? The SEC signed a contract with ESPN right? Do you think UGA will not be playing Thursday Night JV games as you call them? The Dawgs can’t go to Sherveport because now that bowl has an ACC tie-in. Don’t talk about Tech and Thursday nights you will know the feeling very soon. If you don’t like the Thursday night JV game then never watch it when it is a SEC team playing. I love the games. Tech at night, downtown after traffic, and our running Offense burns the clock so we still get home at a nice time. UGA on ESPN Thursday night will not allow the MUTTS to get S..tfaced drunk and they will have to leave work(if they have a job) around 2 pm just to get through Traffic on I-85 and 316.

Murphy,
I’m with you on McElroy. Aint no way in hell Saban is going to put in AJ over McElroy if mac is struggling. He’s been in the big games for 2 years now, he’ll be playing against a great D and there is no way Saban is going to put in a freshman just because gmac may struggle a little against a great D. AJ really is that good, incredibly accurate on the deep ball, he will be the next great Bama qb. But his time has not come.
Matchup of the day. Julio vs Patrick Peterson. Julio won round 1, Peterson round 2, round 3 coming up. Watch Julio on the slant- assuming he can catch the ball and not drop it. Bama vs LSU should be the best game of the day- maybe another OT game like 2 years ago.

I can’t imagine a better offer for him initially. I guess UGA could be a possibility (though not this year I don’t believe) but I think they’d be in the Whittingham/Patterson/Mullen mindset as would any of the “major” programs. I guess Missy State could come calling, but is that appreciably better than Colorado? Granted, they’re having a good season but Starkville isn’t terribly conducive to sustained success. I would think CU is as good as any offer he’ll get, but I have been wrong before.

Wow, the jealousy does run deep doesn’t it? I have covered this before but here are the high points:
1) Loyalty in a contract based relationship is non-existent
2) Saban didn’t like the NFL and took a significant pay cut to get back to college
3) He isn’t the most attractive NFL head coaching prospect anyway with Gruden and Cowher around. I personally think Chuckie gets that gig.
4) He just turned 59 and his daughter is currently enrolled at UA.
5) There is no better college program in America for him to jump to.
These are the reasons I believe Nick stays, and none of it has anything to do with loyalty.

Todd Grantham got caught up in the heat of the moment, and it appears that young Mr. Henry suffered no permanent psychological damage. You and your AJC buddies are quick to bash UGA,Mark Richt, and now Todd Grantham on discipline issues. When are you going to write a whole column on the lack of discipline at Tenn. and UF.

Just depends on how big Saban’s ego really is. He has to have an unsettled feeling in his gut due to the “perception” of failure in Miami. If his ego is still in tact where better than Dallas, with Jerry Jones money could he go to “redeem” himself.
Common sense tells me his is not the type personality that deals well with professional attitudes. Anyone else come to mind, like SS? Saban likes things his way, or the highway. That’s not conducive to the melding the “high maintenance” attitudes of today’s atheletes.
If he’s smart, he stays at Bama and enjoys his success.

Mobile Dawg, that’s exactly why he hated the NFL.

The millionaire pro players do what they please when they please to some extent. He only has one style and it has made him the premier college coach in the country. It just doesn’t work in the NFL though, and I don’t see him changing in his 60s.

CU is not that good of a job. Boulder is a very nice place but they don’t have very good facilities and they can’t afford to pay as much as some other schools do.
Also, I believe that when they had the controversy with recruits going to strip clubs when Barnett was the coach, the university put in a rule that visiting recruits could only be on campus for 24 hours, whereas other schools keep recruits 48 hours. Thus it is a challenge to recruit there.

If Nick Saban would come to Athens I would welcome him with open arms and pocket book. He would rebuild this program within two to three years just like he did at Bama, and LSU before that. Every school has their problems, but I don’t recall any major character issues coming out of Bama since Sabans’ been there.
UGA is a gold mine in college football. We have money, facilities, fertile recruiting grounds, we just don’t have the mentality, or leadership right now. With the right guy we would be perenial contenders.

This squad just does not execute the offensive scheme and unlike previous years, GT survived on ball control and scoring to win. This year we leave the D on the field too long and the D simply isn’t that good. Without the time of possesion and scoring working on our favor we see days like we did at Clemson. Not sure we will be bowl eligble in 2010? We’ll see.

Sanford,I agree that Michigan is an equal program to Bama but the only reason I see him going there would be if he was caught up in being the only coach to win a NC at 3 different programs.
I don’t necessarily disagree with that assessment though I think Bama rates a bit better historically. That said, let’s say UM and UA are equal jobs. Why in the world would he want to live in a cold weather region with less available talent to recruit from? The man has already bought his retirement property on Lake Burton and vacations there regularly. I think he’s quite comfy in the south.

Don, I just call a spade a spade. Don’t mind giving credit where it’s due.
My biggest problem with NS are his communication skills. He always looks shifty when he’s on camera. I was always taught, and it’s a natural thing when you’re comfortable communicating; look your subject in the eyes.
I wonder how he communicates one on one with the parents and kids in their living room. Obviously he’s doing something right.

Saban regreteed leaving LSU after getting a taste of the NFL. I don’t see how any of you can think he’d want to go back, I mean he could’ve stayed in the NFL if he has an ego like some think.He took a pay cut to come back to coach at Alabama, so NO! he is not all about money like some think too.
He has built a monster at Alabama and has a chance to greatly improve his coaching record in Tuscaloosa. If he has an ego you know he’d like to go out as one of the greatest coaches in college football. Now if he left for some other team like Michigan it would set him back from improving his coaching record, I just can’t see that hapenning.
Oh yeah every coaching change until the NFL gig was a step up to a better job so no real need to do that anymore because there is’nt a any higher or better job than Bama in college football. Can you name a team bigger and better team than Bama? I can’t, I mean we are talking about Alabama that has one hell of a winning tradition in college football.
In conclusion – No! Saban won’t be leaving Alabama anytime soon unless he decided to retire to his Lake House in Georgia. Oh Yeah! That Lake House is along way from Ann Arbor too and it is COLD up there too..

Good luck tonight Jackets, you will need it. Look forward to the “clash of the titans” later in the season. Hokies tonight.
AU rolls Saturday, Cam gets a lot of rest. AU’s focus is already the future. Beast of the East, if you’re still out there I caught your slight against UGA in your earlier comment, “Auburn tunes up for the Tide”. I think the Dawgs give Auburn all they want next week but the Tigers will prevail. There is a battle of destiny waiting for them.
Bama at LSU will be a tough, hard fought, emotional game. LSU at home could pull this off, but, Bama has the superior team and I think Saban has them focused, and prepared. Bama wins a tight one, and looks ahead another week, to another potential war, with Missy St.
South Carolina has it going I think, they win at home vs Ark, and take the Gators down along with the SEC East crown. There will be a rematch for someone in Atlanta.
Miami vs Maryland, who cares about this one other than CMR? Maybe he lands in one of the desolute places.

For the rest of the conversation here: As a hardcore Georgia Bulldog fan and one who recognizes it, Saban is a footballer. He has been everywhere he’s been. He’s made a lot of money and while he’s expensive, money isn’t his motivating factor. The guy is good. I hate what he has done to us buy, give him credit. He knows what the hell he is doing. Bama fans are feeling real good right now and they should be but, if they think they are looking at another era like the Bear, they are not being very realistic. In fact I will go so far as to say Bama will lose again this year. But, next year they will be better. USC punched them in the mouth. Make noo mistake, no matter when they played that game or where, Carolina was/is the better team

VT under the CPJ regime hasn’t been able to break 25 points (granted there are only two data points used to make any sort of judgement) but I think that it is emblematic of CPJ’s offense and the mental advantage CPJ and GT has over Beamer and VT (i.e., beamer last year complaining about blocks and Foster feeling the need to travel to Iowa City to get some help in learning how to slow CPJ’s offense) – GT’s defense was terrible last year and they showed up against VT. I don’t think GT will win by 20, but I do think they will hold VT to under 30.

Maybe not the best X’s and O’s guy but, Saban knows how to beat you. I’ve rarely ever seen a Saban team that wasn’t ready to play hard a full 60 minutes. I respected him when he was at LSU and still do at Bama. IMO he is “one of” the best college coaches in America. He’s not flashy and he doesn’t run his mouth. He lays it all out on the field with the “beat me if you can” attitude. You gotta respect the hell out of that.

You honestly think VT would the number one team in the nation right now when they are only returning 3 starters to a defense that lost to GT last year? Bama lost alot on defense too and they are a much better team than VT and where are they sitting right now?
I’m not comparing last year’s teams to this year, but what I am saying is that the 2+ weeks to prepare crap is just that…crap. I agree that misnomer won’t be dispelled until CPJ wins a bowl game, but uga in 2008 is a good example of the 2 weeks to prep model not always leading to success.
And how is it that you criticize GT fans for being Florida fans for one week out of the year when you (a self-admitted UGA fan) is sounding like the biggest VPI fan this side of the Mississippi.

Never made fun of UGA, it’s just that the loudest chest thumpers rarely attended the school that they are thumping their chest over. The alums tend to have a bit more decorum and perspective. That’s all. And as I said, there is no loyalty in a contract relationship. As far as Bama’s “awesomeness”, well… the numbers I stated previously speak for themselves. As far as Saban goes, he ain’t the Bear and certainly won’t be around as long as Bear was (I say he hangs ‘em up in about six years) but he’s already accomplished some things the Bear never did, namely two consecutive 8-0 SEC seasons.

LSU won’t be able to run on Bama if we don’t have some success throwing it downfield. The Tide’s cornerbacks are not as effective as last year as Arenas and Green (?) were solid for them last season. Over time they may be as good as those guys. Potentially we could have an advantage there but…we have had the advantage over most of the secondaries we have faced this season and just haven’t executed.

Tony, how can Tyrod even come close to being considered for the heisman? Look at Virginia Tech’s schedule! They lost to Boise St., which shouldn’t be held against Tyrod. But, a heisman candidate (especially a quarterback) at a “Big Boy” football school simply does not allow his team to lose to James Madison. Period. End of heisman talk. Since then, the only somewhat strong team Virginia Tech has played is NC State. And NC State more gave it away than Virginia Tech won it. Otherwise, VT (and Tyrod’s numbers) have feasted on the likes of East Carolina, Boston College, Central Michigan, Wake Forrest, and Duke. Let’s see if Tyrod’s great numbers hold up over the next 3 weeks against GT, UNC, and Miami. I’m willing to bet his numbers take a bit of a hit over the next 3 weeks.

What are your thoughts on Derek Dooley’s disciplinary measures (or lack-there-of) when his players get into trouble? Jacques Smith was arrested for assault for apparently sucker punching a guy from behind and then kicking him while he’s down–yet he’s not even going to be suspended for a single minute of a game. The same level of discipline was handed out (i.e., zero games missed) for every single one of those involved in the cop-beating before the season started (e.g., Da’rick Rogers), save Myles. If this were Urban or Richt, would you or the others at the ajc not be taking him to task? Just yesterday, you wrote that Grantham should be suspended for a game for his actions during the Fla game. Shouldn’t Smith (and for that matter, Rogers and the others) garner your scrutiny too?

I just think they will have a hard time repeating that performance. Stephen Garcia was 17-for-20 thanks to some amazing catches by Alshon Jeffery. Three or four big plays to Jeffery in the passing game decided the outcome (completing 85% they were almost perfect on deep balls) and it seems unlikely to repeat itself.

My preseason assessment on VT. Start with the last line, and then read why I said it.
Delbert D.
August 6th, 2010
2:51 pm
“My assessment of Virginia Tech, based on factors stated here:
“Virginia Tech potentially has a very good offense returning. Senior QB Tyrod Taylor will be a 3rd year starter. He had a Passer Efficiency rating of 149.4%, 2,311 yards passing with 13TDs and 5 INTs. However, he was inconsistent, with 4 games under 50% and 3 over 60% (77.3-Duke, 70.0-BC and 71.4-GT). He had 2 games less than 100 yards passing and 28 sacks. His backups are RS-soph Ju-Ju Clayton, who had a few snaps last year or Logan Thomas, a 6-6, 238 RS-freshman.
“The running game should be superior, as soph Ryan Williams returns with his 1,655 yds/21 TD/ 7.8 ypc freshman stats, and Darren Evans returns with his 1,265 yds/11 TDs 4.4 ypc from 2008. Taylor also ran for 370 yds and 5 TDs. Co-starting FB Josh Oglesby returns after 78/335 and 2 TDs as a tailback last year. Kenny Younger may start this year, having split time as the starter last year. Overall, the 2-deep backfield returns 13 letters.
“The OL is not huge, averaging 6-4, 293 for the starters and the 2-deep. The first unit has a 8 combined letters, but the 2nd unit has only 2, with 1 RS freshman projected to start.
“The top 5 WRs return, and they are big, averaging 6-2, 214 lbs.
“The defense is another story. The D-line Starting 4 returns 8 letters. The DEs are both 6-4, one at 255 and 1 at 235. The DTs are 6-1 and 6-3 at 294 and 278 respectively. The problem is depth. The 4 backups return 1 letterman, 2 RS sophs and 2 RS freshmen. The backups average the same height and weight (within 3 lbs.) as the starters.
“The top 7 LBs return 3 letters, 2 for 2 starters, and 2 backups. The starters average 6-1, 230 lbs. The backups are lighter. 4 RS sophs, 1 RS junior and 1 projected true freshman backup. Barquell Rivers or Bruce Taylor may start at ILB.
“5 Cornerbacks present 7 letters of experience; the 2 starters are Roger Carmichael (3-year starter) and Jayron Hosley (1 letter, a soph).
“The starting Rover (safety) is senior Davon Morgan with 3 letters, and the starting FS is junior Eddie Whitley, 2 letters. Both of the backups are RS freshmen.
“It gets worse. Overall, Virginia Tech is #101 among FBS schools with % of lettermen returning. From the 2009 team, only 339 tackles out of 937 return. ILB Barquell Rivers is the leading returning tackler with 96 last year, 2nd on the team. 12 of 36 2009 sacks return, led by Steven Friday with 3.5. Rashad Carmichael had 6 INTs, and Antoine Hopkins had 1.
“Defensive players with starts in 2009 include the following players:
LB Barquell Rivers (13)
CB Rashad Carmichael (13)
DT John Graves (8)
LB Lyndell Rivers (5)
ROV Davon Morgan (4)
CB Cris Hill (2)
This defense has a major challenge ahead for Virginia Tech to end up the season in the Top 10.”

You and I rarely dis-agree but I think Spurrier can do it again.
I don’t have ny doubt about Spurrier’s ability, it’s his QB I’m not so sure about. The kid absolutely played the game of his life and got boat loads of help from his receivers. Football is a game of inches- say those three sideline deep balls just missed (or two of three). The game is completely different in that case, especially since two of them happened in the first quarter and essentially put 14 points up (one was a TD, the other was a one-handed grab with one foot inbounds on third down). Again, all the credit goes to the kids making the plays, but I have a hard time believeing it happens again. They are the only team to put up over 20 on us.

The rap on Spurrier for years was that he couldn’t win without a great quarterback to implement his offense. This year he seems to be doing it with a great tailback, an adequate quarterback and a stolid defense. Of course, everyone forgets that most of the years that Spurrier’s Gators did well, they also had one of the the best defenses, if not the best defense, in the conference (e.g. 1990, 1991, 1996).
This year’s Florida-South Carolina game could finally be the one that Gators fans have been expecting since the Evil Genius took the job in Columbia, but I think Urban Meyer knows better than to take the Evil Genius lightly. Spurrier lives for games that others don’t think his team can win.

I wish I had tickets. All the talk about how Spurrier was never a good coach, he’s over-rated, he’s lost his touch, he can’t win without Florida-level talent, etc., is complete hogwash. You should read the comments about his game-planning that his 1978 Gators made about him when he was the QBs coach and de facto OC (they were only 4-7 and switching from the ‘bone the previous year), and also from his former Duke players. His ex-players remain in awe years after the fact. The biggest problem Spurrier has had in Columbia has been the talent disparity between USC and UF, UGA and UT. This year, USC has better talent than UT, at least the equivalent of UGA and has more game-time experience than UF. Tends to make things a little more competitive. Never bet against Spurrier, especially when you can take the Evil Genius’ team against the points spread when they’re the underdog.

Tony,
Heard an interesting rumor yesterday about Mark Richt going to West Virginia. Apparently the new AD knows him and respects him a lot. If Bill Stewart doesn’t win out, he is gone. If Richt loses to Auburn and Tech and finishes 5-7, McGarrity will have to fire him. Richt goes to WV.
Personally, I’m not buying it. I don’t see Richt getting fired and I don’t see him moving to Morgantown.
It was a new one that I had not heard.

I’m really happy for Cam Newton, and I’m glad that he has found a new home and success at Auburn, but let’s just say that his story regarding the laptop lacks a certain element of believability. I suspect, at the very least, he knew it was stolen when he bought it. Why else would he chuck a perfectly good computer out of the dorm window? As usual, the cover-up appears worse than the actual crime. If I were Cam, I would quit talking about it and move on.

Do the Dawgs play all the starters the whole game against Idaho St to get some extra practice or do the coaches pull them to rest for the Auburn game? I would think the coaches will leave the DBs in the game to pad stats and get some picks, but I would think the O-line gets a pass and let some of the Younger guy that have to carry the load next year get a lot of game ime as a unit. Sorry no puncuation and break just stream of thought.

I agree. why would Richt leave for WVU? Would he win there? Ofcourse. No offense to UGA (it’s more of a complement to the SEC) but I think his chances of winning a BCS CG are probably better at WVU though.

Murphy, Being under fire as the head coach at Georgia is in no way as hard as his walk with Christ, if he hasn’t quit serving the Lord, I don’t see him quitting as the head coach at Georgia, Christians go thru adversity all the time, what he’s going thru as the head coach, is by far his lightest burden, I would have thou, if he would have quit Georgia, it would have been when his wife was going thru her cancer treatment, but he stayed the course, just like a true Christian, people like to run him down because of his beliefs, but how many of them have every lived a Christian life, or even gone thru his dilemma, thru Christ all things are possible, Coach Richt believes this, and if he said he’s going to turn the Georgia program around, I for one believe him, he would not say he’s going to turn the program around, and then quit, Coach Richt is not a quitter.

Good luck tonight 5150, my Brother graduated “class of 84 or 85″. Curry offered him a walk on try out as a full back but after HS he decided he just wanted to enjoy the college life. I will have a glass of Red Wine with some good chili tonight during the game….Catch you later….

If the religion of the Head Coach has anything to do with which teams win then Jesus has a definite preference for Catholics. Both Nick Saban (named after a Saint) and Urban Meyer (named after a Pope) are devout Catholics.

Dad will be 80 and I hope he is still able to go to games. Moms Cancer has made it hard for her to go to many out of state games, but Dad loves to ride when he can. I wanted the Bama game as it was for the 2012 game I think. I am mad the Vols will not have a game with us. The biggest SEC game we have coming is back to is Vandy in 2016 at home then we have to wait until 2019 to go to Bama. Tulane is a nice trip. BYU is not a big draw for me to travel too. All the women are taken by 2 guys after they turn 12. No Party at BYU.

No i live on a farm in Chatt Hills/ Palmetto. Dad doesn’t party like dawgs do. Dan and I go to som of the out of town games, but Mom only goes to a few of them. mom is not a big football fan since I no longer play. She was more in to the game when I played through high School. Mom is into her Grand daughters Vollyball games. Mom paid for her to go to the Tech Volleyball camp the past 2 years. that is why I said to some fan on the blogs that attacked Nicki Meyer he was an Azz. I hve met Urban’s daughter and she is nice.
My Neice is a HUGE UGA fan because of her dad but she has been to GT Volleyball camp and is learning TECH ain’t so bad. My mother attended O’ Keefe which is not the GT Vollyball court. If you want to meet me I have no issue with that. Try the Chevron on Hwy 29 at hwy 154 in Palmetto. Call me of shut the f up.

Just about 45 min until the Venison Tenderloin is done. I hope the dry rub has soaked in with the Pork Wrap on the Venison. To BBQ venison you have to add some Fat to keep the meat from cooking and drying out too fast. Lay a couple of pieces of Pork Fat on the Venison and wrap it with bacon. The flavor of the Dry Rub soaks in and the pork fat keeps the meat tender.

@gdawginkalamazoo, what Mettenburg did was worse and UGA had another QB that was probably going to beat him out for the starting job anyways. There is no chance AJ would be kicked off the team for what Rainey did. Especially while Richt is on the hot seat. Maybe Kris Durham would, but not AJ.

One of the reasons Brother chose Tech, the other was it was close and a good education. He’s done well in life, to be a North Avenue Nerd. Later….MD

Paul in RDU – An answer to your earlier question about successful college-NFL head coaches, right off the top of my head, Jimmy Johnson, ‘Canes and Cowboys. Another is Barry Switzer, Oklahoma and Cowboy. He succeeded Johnson and won the Super Bowl one time. Short career in the pros, though.
Dick Vermeil was HC of the Eagles when I lived up there, and he had won a Rose Bowl with UCLA.

I’m a Tech fan, but this year is a write off. I expect Va. Tech to deliver a serious beat down tonight. Luckily there’s a mini marathon of Two and a Half Men on FX from 8 to 10. I hope this season tanks from here on out so we can get a real football coach next year. This dime store novelty offense doesn’t work in I-A. If it did every team would use it. Worked ok until the rest of the nation figured out how easy it is to stop it dead in its tracks. Prediction: VA. Tech 48 — GA. Tech 9. No td’s just 3 lousy field goals tonight.

On the Cam Newton story, it is coming out that Urban Meyer is the source of the story. Here is what is being reported:
* Florida coach Urban Myer, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen and former Mississippi State quarterback John Bond had a telephone conversation recently to discuss the allegations.
* Meyer had an interest in this story getting out and encouraged Bond to do so.
* Mullen told the two he thought they should move on, let it go, regardless of what was being alleged. Meyer said no, that it needed to get out to the media.
* Kenny Rogers, who is alleged to have sought money, is a desperate individual that was trying to get Cam Newton to go to Mississippi State. Rogers has a checkered past that includes an ongoing investigation by the NFL.

This just in…
Cam Newton had no knowledge of the agent shopping him for 6 figures. He simply did what his father wanted and signed with Auburn…
He is the best player ever and will win then next 5 Heisman’s…
Cam Newton is unstoppable and innocent…. he was just going to go where his agent told him to. He had no knowledge of what the guys was asking for..
As a side note, I’ve sent a request demnading that Greg McGarity and the University of Georgia immediately terminate the employment of Todd Grantham effective immediately or I will not like them anymore.

A gesture for what the entire dawg nation was hoping is not an offense, Grantham wished no physical harm on fla. kicker and owes no apology. kudos to fla kicker for saying as much, the dawg nation is behind Richt no matter how badley ajc wants him fired so they can pick apart the new coaching choice by Mcgarity. tabloid journalism Tony! if only you could get fined and suspended for that .
