So Thornton decided he wanted to be a thug instead of a future engineer while winning championships.

Can someone at the AJC please fire Doug and get us Techies an actual reporter. We don’t even have a forum like this to talk on. Dawgs be thankful for Bill and the work he does – we’re dying of thirst on the other side of the CFB landscape …

With sanctions imminent for the Trojans, the talking heads at ESPN’s College Football Live had a spirited discussion last Thursday on what should happen to USC’s vacated title. It appears more and more likely that both the BCS and the Associate Press will strip the school of its 2004 National Championship once penalties are handed out. For Bush it also means a possible loss of his coveted Heisman Trophy.
In the case of the BCS, they have two simple options: force USC to vacate the title and not have a 2004 champion or award the title to either Auburn or Oklahoma. How likely is the BCS to pick a new champion? I’d put it somewhere between slim and none. USC will almost surely be forced to vacate, but a new champion will not be crowned.
The Associate Press is an entirely different story.
Many believe the writers will crown a new champion. ESPN analysts Craig James and Ed Cunningham clearly favor giving the title to Auburn. An undefeated season in the SEC coupled with the throttling Oklahoma took from USC in the championship game, makes it a no brainer – at least according to those two.
James believes it’s quite possible the AP will crown Auburn champions. “In my mind, if USC is stripped of the title, Auburn becomes the national champion,” said James. “For what Auburn did that season, I have always thought it was an injustice.”
Asked whether fans in Auburn should celebrate such an occurrence, Cunningham said, “Absolutely. There will be toilet paper everywhere at Toomer’s Corner.”

Auburn worthy of 2004 title
Could Auburn be on the verge of a national title? Say the NCAA hammers USC, and the BCS and the AP take away the national titles they awarded the Trojans and their semi-pro tailback, Reggie Bush. Say the BCS revisits its policy on the subject and the AP re-votes, and one or both of those organizations decides to correct the greatest injustice of the BCS era by crowning, as the rightful champs, the Auburn Tigers. What should Auburn do six years later? Please. That’s easy. Accept it. Celebrate it. And never, ever apologize for it.

Bill, it is Monday May 24,2010.
You need to see this info from one of the other blog spots. It concerns the oversigning of high school recruits. It is a questionable practice that can be very detrimental to college football prospects, and Nick Saban needs to be dragged into the spotlight and exposed: Warning, Warning, Warning!!!
Over-signing is still an issue:

Walton Dog… I did send Leo an email about a month ago.. NOT about UGA, but about coaching college at the highest level… if there was any interest in the right situation. within 19 minutes I got a response: “Nope. MLB only. worked to hard for it. Thanks for listening”
Like Perno…. Brady HAS to go… if he hasn’t already.
And to the “Dave Perno” poster…. I keep asking the samething about Ga. Tech. Maybe this year they’ll go for their 4th time in school history!!!

I’m majorly dissapointed in you people.
It’s been a week and nobody has wanted to blog about how much of a better coach Richt is than Meyers and Saban??

gRindL88, it was a long year for Georgia in baseball. The only way I can explain it is that we are young in the field and have probably the worst pitching coach in major college. The bats came around late in the seaon.. and the pitching… well that was pretty much terrible all season. Heck, Duke and Baylor were just about the only teams not score double digits against us this year.
Question: what’s going to be Tech’s excuse this season for once again failing to reach Omaha?? I mean that 2 and BBQ in 06 was a while ago… so was the 2 BBQ in 2002… and when was that only other trip the team made… 85???? Talk about doing less with more… my money is on Coach Hall, but he did sweep the worst team the SEC has seen in 15 years, and hats off to Hall for that!!!

Looking way ahead to the next Tech-UGA game. With respect to Tech, I think Groh’s 3-4 will be much improved over Womack’s 4-3 last year (of course, Womack didn’t exactly set a high bar for defensive aptitude last year, especially against the run). For UGA, do you think Grantham’s 3-4 can replicate Martinez’s successful plan against Tech last year?
