BlogPoll Preseason College Football Top 25 Rankings: Why Limit Ourselves to Looking Ahead to 2012?
(Author’s Note: The rankings following the jump are intended in jest. Bring your sense of humor with you. You have been warned.) Our good friend (and soon-to-be conference coeval) Bill Connelly, of whom I made mention earlier today after he gave Mark Richt the credit due him (and thereby almost...
Georgia Bulldogs Now Finding It Easier to List Which Running Backs Are Playing
I would like to strangle thank DavetheDawg for bringing it to our my attention that Carlton Thomas will be suspended at least for the Georgia Bulldogs’ season opener against the Boise St. Broncos. As the perpetrator of two recent exhibitions of something resembling optimism, I assume full...
Why Did the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Drop the Ball on the Demaryius Thomas Story?
As I noted following the announcement that the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets had been placed on probation following a 20-month investigation that managed to occur without even a whisper of media attention, it has not been a proud week for old media. I was not alone in making this observation. Paul...
Georgia Bulldogs v. South Carolina Gamecocks: The Haphazard Ill-Informed Roundball Preview
I have to tell you, I’m feeling pretty good about this weekend’s game---well, as good as someone with my disposition is capable of feeling, at any rate. The stars appear to be aligning in a favorable way for the Classic City Canines. First, and most obviously, the Georgia Bulldogs are playing at...
Mark Richt and Vince Dooley: Georgia Bulldogs Head Football Coaches on Parallel Courses?
Yesterday, I compared Mark Richt’s fourth down decisionmaking against the Clemson Tigers on August 31, 2002, and against the Central Florida Knights on December 31, 2010. The more I thought about that analogy, the more I was reminded of similar disparities in the calls made by Vince Dooley against...
Why the Georgia Bulldogs Can and Should Play the Clemson Tigers in the Georgia Dome to Open the 2015 College Football Season
As I noted earlier, I recently was interviewed by SB Nation’s Clemson Tigers weblog, Shakin’ the Southland. When asked about the possibility of a neutral site meeting between the Classic City Canines and the Fort Hill Felines in the Georgia Dome, I had this to say: Georgia’s new athletic director,...
A Brief History Lesson About University of Georgia Athletics and Goats
Because of the non-existence of opponents in the area, no matches were arranged by Georgia for the fall of 1891, but Mercer College agreed to organize a team to meet the University after Christmas. The game, the first intercollegiate football contest in the deep South, was set for Saturday...
Are the Tennessee Volunteers Now a Bigger Rival of the Georgia Bulldogs' Than the Clemson Tigers?
My belief that the Georgia Bulldogs and the Clemson Tigers have an ongoing rivalry that needs to be revived more regularly is well-documented, as is my ulterior motive for emphasizing the series. However, recent discussions concerning the prospects for SEC expansion and the possibility that Clemson...
Christian LeMay Might be More Likely to Play for the Georgia Bulldogs in the Wake of Zach Mettenberger's Departure, but Don't Forget About Nick Marshall
Those inclined to search for a silver lining in the wake of Zach Mettenberger’s dismissal (a) have come to the wrong weblog if they’re looking for anything with an upbeat tempo, and (b) have pointed to North Carolina gunslinger Christian LeMay, the prep quarterback the Bulldogs hope to land in the...
Why I Have Been So Fixated Lately on the College Football Rivalry Between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Clemson Tigers
(Author’s Note: There will be no postgame baseball report this evening. My wife and children are out of school this week on spring break, so I am taking a couple of days off to spend with my family and attend to some responsibilities at home. My son and I will be traveling to Clemson, S.C., to see...
