I’m about 20 minutes outside of Charlottesville, riding with former esteemed colleague Dave Fairbank of the Newport News Daily Press.
We’ve passed the time talking about Chairman Groh, the fun of Paul Johnson, etc.
When I get to the press box, I’ll start posting some notes.
In the meantime, tell me about your favorite places to go on the road, stadiums, cities, eateries, etc.

XMEN i don’t care about old men picking up a check. I asked if the ACC or the SEC has more playerd drafteds in the last 5 years? You keep trying to change the #’s THE ACC wins and you know it. CRY the REFS made the SEC lose right?

I’m sad to say I have retired my Government Issue 1911 Model 45 Colt.
I could hear it rattle with every step I took.
I now carry a Glock Model 22, 40 caliber.
No I will not change ny handle.

7-1 is nice but would you trade the record over ours the last 8 years or would you trade their offense over our ..i wouldnt..that offense is being run in high school..not the pros..and there is a reason for that..that offense will not win national titles..and after chans players are gone they will barely win 6 or more a year..im so glad uga runs a pro style offense and recruit big time players year in and year out..tech can keep there losing ways and 3 star players ..i will take richt and company every time…when was tech even near the top in recruiting? no wonder they avg 8 wins a year

now the gators are showing how powerful they are. lol. gt beat msu what? 42-31? 7 Red zone 1 td and 3 fg for fla. yeah that’s a #1/2 team. give me a break. cf needs a playoff. else you get stuck with these crap teams that don’t belong where they are. 2 blocked fg’s. lol. if that happened to tech, the idiot ga fans would be ragging us for months. yet when it happens to an sec 1/2 team oh they are great. they stuck it out. no td’s against tenn. 2 LUCKY blocked fg’s. yeah what a team

Okay. I’m gonna go against my own preaching.
atl xmen, if it makes you feel better, I do think the SEC is the best conference. I hate it that Tech has to play the teams they play in the ACC, but that’s the way it is.
With that being said, you are still not very bright. Even other uga fans on this blog are hinting to you that Tech is better than you give them credit for. In past seasons Tech may have been 5-3 or even 4-4 at this point in the season. But facts are facts and arguing over schedules or power ratings still doesn’t change the fact that Tech is a good team and is playing better football than uga is right now. Maybe a fair barometer in your eyes will be how Tech does against Vandy next week, so we can compare apples to apples.
So until then, just take a hint (even from your uga brethren) to just be quiet.

lsu will beat bama. they have no offense and tenn scored a td against them.
sec is an overrated joke this year. miami clem gt and vt would win 3/4 against TODAY against bama uf lsu and sc

The best in the SEC can’t score more than 10 points in 30 min. agaist what all the SEC fans call the worst teams in the SEC. WOW the SEC fans are just STUPID or the FANS just STUPID along with the POLL VOTERS. Well, the SEC is in the small southern cities. I think the FANS are just STUPID and the media know how to get EZ money from STUPID black/white poor country folks.

thats problem with you nerds you compare games with teams you lose to beat..its all about match ups and the acc just doesnt match up with the sec..thats why you get beat 95 percent of the time when you play a sec team..really you guys need to stick to basketball…

Lane’s wife IS smoking hot, even after two or three kids. How could she not be hot with a name of “Layla”. I actually think she is the hottest NCAA coaches wife in the land. Can you think of any other coaches wife who could top her PoaD? She may smoke most of the NFL coahes wives, as well.
