Nice rally yesterday with the NFL picks. 5-1

Here are today's bowl game picks. Picks are in ALL CAPS

Vandy minus 7.5 vs NC STATE

USC minus 7.5 vs Georgia Tech                      Not sure on this one. USC would probably rather be covered in honey and thrown in a fireant bed than be in El Paso Texas on New Years Eve. However, talent ususally overcomes, even with hat idiot Lane Kiffin coaching.

IOWA STATE minus 2 vs Tulsa

LSU minus 6 vs Clemson

Murph is a Hall of Famer.... Part Two

More on Murph for Hall of Fame

Jeff Schultz gives more reasoning for Murph for Hall of Fame. This one's good.

Murph is a Hall of Famer

Post by William

Why Murph is a Hall of Famer

This is written by the Braves Beat writer for the AJC, Dave O'Brien. Best thing he's ever written. He makes the point that if you're keeping Bonds, Clemens, Rose, et al out for integrity and character, Murph should go IN because of integrity and character along with his stats.

I know it's a tad lengthy but PLEASE read the whole thing. The letter Murph's son wrote is outstanding.

Quick Pick

Post by William

Real quick pick today

Falcons minus 3 at Carolina.    Some jackleg DE for the Panthers(3-9) says Panthers are "much better" than the Falcons. You just keep thinking Butch. That's what you're good at.

Falcons cover fairly easily

Trying to wean... this may help.

It is going to be balmy Saturday for most Georgia sports fans, but not all. The Valdosta State Blazers play in Mankato, MN at 3:00 PM. Expected high of the day.... 36 degrees.

Now for the million dollar question... what will Murray do next year?

Post by Mike

The Dawgs will lose a lot of players to NFL. Jarvis is projected to go top three, John Jenkins will go in the first round, and according to CBS Murray would go in round two.

I find it hard to believe E J Manuel would go higher than Murray, and these things often change after evaluations are done. So if Murray is projected to be high second round (55th overall), what does he do?

Can't say I would blame him for taking the dollars. After all he hasn't been treated by many with a great deal of respect, and the Dawgs will have a hard time rebuiding that defense. If he does return, his O line will be more experienced, and he'll have plenty of targets.

Life goes on... and there is still football to be played.

Punched in the gut... ugh. Dawgs going to Capital One Bowl to squash Nebraska.

Georgia Southern advances to Quarter Finals - Faces ODU.
Valdosta State advances to Semi-Finals.
