Revenge of the Nerds – Vandy is for real

Posted by mdr on October 5th, 2008 under Football

The Atlanta Journal Constitution, the paper of record for southeastern sports, has a headline proclaiming that Vanderbilt stunned the Auburn Tigers and the SEC yesterday. What Vandy did yesterday should not be shocking to anyone that's been paying attention this season. First of all, Auburn isn't very good. This is an enormous win for the Commodore program from a credibility and name recognition standpoint. It just so happens that this
We begin with this report from Saturday's Notre Dame game. Can you imagine if they started these practices in the South? Or at Wisconsin for that matter? Saturday's UGA game drove a former player to drink (and get arrested for his troubles). Believe me, if they sold liquor in the stadium, I would have been right there with you Danny. Bonus points for the face logos in the mug shot. The first Harris poll

I changed my mind, the game should’ve been cancelled

Posted by mdr on September 27th, 2008 under

I have done a complete 180 on this issue. When oil man Tex Pitfield suggested that Georgia governor Sonny Perdue call off the UGA - Alabama game to save gas, I like many others scoffed at the thought. After all, this was a huge game in the SEC, a boom to the local economy, and you know, like a really big deal and stuff, and we wanted to wear our black shirts,

This guy must be a Bama fan

Posted by mdr on September 25th, 2008 under

The president and CEO of Saraguay Petroleum, whose name is actually Tex believe it or not, has a suggestion for Georgia governor Sonny Perdue. Ole Tex wants to cancel the UGA-Bama game to save gas. The governor, who is a UGA man, is ignoring the suggestion. In other news, evil Richt made an appearance at yesterday's press conference. Like I said before, this is gonna be a fun one.

A few afternoon links (SEC edition)

Posted by mdr on September 24th, 2008 under

Just a few things I found interesting in my daily perusal of these here interwebs. For openers, the heat just keeps turning up in Knoxville. Secondly, we are reminded of the classiness of South Carolina fans. In actual football related news, Matthew Stafford has thrown 108 passes without a pick. Chris Low, who lived in Nashville long enough to know better, believes in Vanderbilt. Alabama assistant coach Scott Cochran doesn't think much of Georgia's blackout

Effective immediately. :-( I may be the only one here who cares, but this sucks.

Has Fulmer finally worn out his welcome?

Posted by mdr on September 22nd, 2008 under Football

The fat man fell to Florida once again on Saturday and the Volunteer faithful are not happy. After last year's blowout in Gainesville, the Vols had a lot to prove on Saturday in Knoxville. What they proved is that the Tennessee Volunteers are a program in decline. Everyone pile on.....now! We begin with Gary Parrish of CBS Now to Andy Staples of SI Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sun-Sentinel has seen a

“Gold Out” = Gay. “Blackout” = Awesome.

This may not mean much in the grand scheme of things. But if it gives the Dawgs any kind of emotional edge I'm all for it. Plus, with Gameday coming to town I have a chance to break out my "Chris Fowler Blows Goats" sign again. ;-) Not the least bit intimidating.

That’s 11 in a row, but who’s counting?

Posted by mdr on September 21st, 2008 under Football

The University of Georgia Bulldogs posted their 11th straight victory with a dominating performance against Arizona State in Tempe. This game saw the UGA pass rush finally making some progress, albeit against a lesser quality OL than they will see in the coming weeks. There were still far too many penalties, even discounting one or two that were completely fabricated by the ridiculously incompetent Pac-10 crew, and the UGA backfield is still

Please don’t boo the Tigers….they are very sensitive!

Posted by mdr on September 19th, 2008 under Football

I'm heading out of town in a little while, but I wanted to share this little nugget before I go. Apparently the admins on the Plains are worried about their sensitive little boys getting booed this weekend. I can't imagine why anyone would boo them though. Who doesn't like a good baseball game on a fall Saturday?
