Why the Georgia Bulldogs Will Win the 2011 SEC Football Championship
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the Georgia Bulldogs are going to win the 2011 SEC championship. (Yes, in football.) The bad news is that the ‘Dawgs are going to suffer an embarrassing loss in a BCS bowl game afterward. If you disagree, consider this: In 2005, the Boise St....
Week Fourteen BlogPoll Ballot Draft
The time has come to cast my final regular-season BlogPoll ballot---or, at least, I think it has; I’m assuming we’re not submitting new top 25s after next weekend’s Army-Navy game---and here is what I came up with after starting with a blank piece of paper: RankTeamDelta 1 Alabama 2 ...
It's 2009 and Congressman Jack Kingston is Still an Embarrassment to Bulldog Nation
It was petty and small two years ago and it’s petty and small today. Here’s a really simple rule, whether you’re a Georgia Republican, a Texas Republican, or an Illinois Democrat. If you have a Washington, D.C., mailing address by virtue of having won an election, butt out of college football! I...
Don't Bet On It!: Bowl Edition (Part VII)

Bowl Attendance, Expectations, And How To Blame Everything On The Recession
So last year the bowls did alright: Bowl Attendance: Four of the Big Ten's eight bowl games drew sellout crowds, including packed houses for the BCS National Championship Game and the Rose, Capital One and Valero Alamo Bowls. The conference's eight postseason games attracted 525,679 fans for an...
"Playoffs?!?!": A Reply to Garnet and Black Attack's Modest Proposal (Part III)
In retrospect, perhaps it was an overstatement for me to insinuate that Brandon and DC Trojan, inter alia, were communists (although ardent playoff proponent Brian Cook admits to being a college football socialist); as it turns out, self-confessed pinko and Barack Obama supporter Doug Gillett is a...
"Playoffs?!?!": A Reply to Garnet and Black Attack's Modest Proposal (Part II)
Ere the weekend’s baseball action got underway, I offered a partial response to the playoff proposal put forth by Garnet and Black Attack’s Brandon before he went fishing (metaphorically, of course). I was pleased to see this subject generate some discussion, particularly since Brandon’s...
