Weekend Picks
Post by William
Happy Friday All!!! 1-1 last night. 16-19 for the year.
Good Thursday night of football. Falcons just showed off. Not sure why they're such a great home team and so bad on the road. That offense could be something special.
Really surprised Auburn didn't produce more than they did. One thing I did notice.... Auburn is beatable. K State's last 4 drives all started inside Auburn 30. 3 missed FGs and an INT. Bad.
Here are the picks for the rest of the weekend. Picks are in ALL CAPS
VA TECH(Home) minus 8 vs Ga Tech
BAMA(Home) minus 14.5 vs Boom
LSU(Home) minus 10 vs Miss St
SPURRIER minus 22.5 vs Vandy(Home)
Florida State(Home) minus 12.5 vs CLEMSON
Georgia(Home) minus 41 vs TROY Uga wins easy but they never cover a big #. Maybe we'll get to see Brice Ramsey chuck it around the lot a little bit. Also, maybe the direct snap to #3 going to the left. Give Smokey the Vol something else to think about for next week.
On to the Pros
SEATTLE(Home) minus 5 vs Denver
Carolina(Home) minus 3.5 vs PITTSBURGH
New York Jets(Home) minus 3 vs CHICAGO
Have a great weekend.

Thursday Night Picks
Post by William
Hello all. Hope you're having a great week so far.
3-6 last week. Gross. 12-15 for the season. Grosser.
Here are the picks for tonight. Picks are in ALL CAPS
AUBURN minus 8.5 vs Kansas State(Home) Heard a stat this morning. Since 2006, TOP 5 teams are 8-7 on the road on Thursday night. Not tonight. Luckiest team ever rolls late.
ATLANTA(Home) minus 6 vs Tampa Bay Only reason I think they cover is b/c Bucs D is ravaged with injuries.
The rest of the week's picks will be posted in the morning.

What I like and dislike about Saturday's game.
Post by Mike
Okay I’m nervous… confident… but nervous. It was easy to
jump on the Georgia band wagon over the past two weeks. And why not… the Dawgs
did destroy an out of shape, talent depleted Clemson squad at home on a 200-degree August
afternoon.
What’s not to like?
I can’t come up with much… the special teams looked vastly
improved. UGA, for the first time in recent memory, didn't have players falling
out with conditioning cramps, Clemson did. Our defense played great! We swarmed
to the ball, tackled well, and the secondary was serviceable.
Our O line looked great in the second half. Gurley’s numbers
were huge because the holes in front of him were huger, and now Bobo has four
horses he can use to wear down Carolina.
Mason looked like a game manager. He isn’t gonna win the
game for us, but I also don’t think he will lose it. If there is a weakness, it
has to be our deep ball attack. Hopefully we won’t need it.
Another thing I like is that Carolina played a tough game
against East Carolina last Saturday while our guys were resting. That can’t
hurt.
So what do I dislike?
Spurrier, his O line, and Mike Davis.
It could be worse… he could have Wuerffel - Doering - Clowney - Latimore type talent - he doesn't… but
that beefy bunch up front is gonna try to do to us in their home stadium which
we did to Clemson in ours. If it is close late in the game, the Visor will try
to pound Davis out for the win. So… Bobo has to get us a 10 point lead… Pruett
has to keep it. Simple as that.
Playing from behind is no way to go through a
Saturday in Columbia.
Week 3 picks
Post by William
Hello all.
Bad week last week. 5-7. NFL saved that. 12-12 for the year.
Random thoughts...
Falcons looked FANTASTIC. Gonna have to outscore everybody this year. Possible.
Week 1 games were great. Other than UGA/SC, no good games this week. Scheduling needs to be addressed.
Could be a big weekend!!!
On to the picks.... Picks are in ALL CAPS
GEORGIA TECH(Home) minus 17 vs GA Southern Mikey is on a roll. He said Va Tech would beat Urban last week. He says GSU beats GT this week. Not seeing it . FYI... would be the best thing that could happen to GT. Paul Johnson has to go. GT sent back 2000 tickets to UGA for the UGA/Gt game in Athens b/c they couldn't sell them. They only get around 9000. You're telling me they can't get 9000 people to go to that game? When the HC starts costing you money, it's time for him to go.
TEXAS TECH(Home) minus .5 vs Arkansas
Bama(Home) minus 48 vs SOUTHERN MISS too many points
BOOM(Home) minus 18 vs Kentucky Talent prevails
Oklahoma(Home) minus 20.5 vs ROCKY TOP Not upset special but Stoopes will lose his mind vs an SEC team
Uga minus 6.5 vs JACKASS(Home) This started at 4.5. Weather could be a factor. Friend said could be good for UGA to take the crowd out of the game. UGA wins but it's gonna be close. #3. (Please let me be right) FYI... the last UGA TD pass thrown in Columbia was by #14 David Greene. That's gross.
PROS
GREEN BAY(Home) minus 8 vs Jets
SAN FRAN(Home) minus 7 vs Chicago
Indy(Home) minus 3 vs EAGLES
Cincinnati(Home) minus 5,.5 vs FALCONS Falcons D isn't the 1985 Bears but the Bengals don't have enough to stop MY TEAM!!!
Have a fantastic, safe weekend.

Week 1 picks and some random stuff
Post by William
I'm guessing everybody is all jacked that cfball has started. Just think, when you wake up in the morning, your food will taste better, the air will be cleaner, your whole attitude will be better.
Couple of things from last night before the picks.....
Besides UGA winning, is there anything better than watching Spurrier get boatraced?
Anchor down is over
Just watched interview w/Matt Kuchar. His caddie's wife died Wednesday suddenly. Kuch is a solid dude.
Palmetto Bacon Pimento Cheese is a gift from Heaven.
On to the picks. 1-2 last night. I'll take that with those 2 losing. Picks are in ALL CAPS
OHIO STATE minus 14.5 vs Navy in Baltimore very low #. Go Navy.
Bama minus 25.5 vs WEST VIRGINIA at Ga Dome Bama wins easy but that's a big #
NOTRE DAME (HOME) minus 20.5 vs Rice Yawn
LUCKIEST TEAM EVER(HOME) minus 19.5 vs Arkansas
FLORIDA(HOME) minus 36 vs Idaho Boom trying to keep his job
FSU minus 19 vs Ok State at Jerry World
Lsu minus 5 vs WISCONSIN in Houston Badgers win outright
TENNESSEE(HOME) minus 4.5 vs Utah State You get 3 points for being at home. So they're saying Vols would be 1.5 fav vs Utah State on neutral field? Not a chance. (Does make me giggle though!!!)
LOCK OF THE WEEK #1 Louisville(Home) vs Miami OVER Don't know the # I've seen Grantham coach
UGA(HOME) minus 7.5 vs Clemson #3 & #4 will have big days with short passes out of the backfield. Coach Pruitt will not have Floyd and Jenkins in coverage. Get the QB. Secondary will be a little sketchy but it'll be ok. New freshman returner McKenzie will have big day. Dogs cover easily.
LOCK OF THE YEAR #2 TW will not win the FedEx Cup. Sorry. Had to be snarky.
Have a fantastic Gameday. Remember... if you're cooking, fat side up.

73 Days And Counting Down!
| Post by Mike The way the Braves are playing we need college football to get here and soon! I have no idea who will win the first week, but I can pick a few that will not cover. They are in BOLD. Saturday - August 30 -2014 Arkansas at Auburn (-24) | |
| Colorado St vs Colorado (-4) (Denver) | |
| Clemson at Georgia (-9) | |
| California at Northwestern (-9.5) | |
| UCLA (-21.5) at Virginia | |
| Ohio St (-14) vs Navy (Baltimore) - OSU lost a lot of players! Navy returns a lot. | |
| Penn St (-2.5) vs UCF (Ireland) | |
| West Virginia vs Alabama (-27.5) (Atlanta) That's a big week one number with a new QB. | |
| Florida St (-17) vs Oklahoma St (Arlington) Just a hunch, but the ego may need deflating. | |
| LSU (-7) vs Wisconsin (Houston) |
UGH.... Another reason why Auburn will be hard to handle.
Post by Mike
Maybe we can reverse Goudy the Tigers/War Eagles/Plainsmen into a losing season, but so far the annalist are making a strong case for them repeating as SEC Champions.
This next Phil Steele breakdown shows the 2 deep rosters giving higher points for more experienced players.
Auburn ranks highest among the SEC with 79 points:
Phil Steele's 2 deep breakdown
Between that and UGA being favored in every game except that road battle at Carolina, the November 15 match up in Athens is looking HUGE!
Right now Georgia is favored by 1 point over Auburn. Hope we remember to knock the pass to the ground!

Career O Line Starts Returning
Post by Mike
William and I promised an old friend we would get back to
regular posting on the Blog for this college football season, so here goes.
As a Phil Steele believer I am a bit distressed over his
favorite stat, “Career O Line Starts Returning”. Or more basically, how
seasoned and deep is your o-line? I clicked on his link expecting UGA to be in
the top 20, but my hopes were shattered to find us ranked at 81, and tied with
Notre Dame, with 54 combined starts.
Even more troubling is the fact that FSU ranked 10 at 114,
Auburn 11 at 113, and South Carolina 10 at 112.

Monday observations:
Post by Mike
A few observations:
Nothing went as planned. A failed two point conversion kept
Ohio State alive while a failed field goal killed the Tide.
Saban was outcoached by a “high school” guy, Tech became
passing efficient, Florida stunk out loud… again, and a football game between
Duke and Carolina Northern was significant. The apocalypse can’t be far away.
To make things even more interesting, consider the
possibilities of the BCS matchups.
BCS Standings as of 12/2/2013
1 – FSU ACC Championship vs. Duke
2 – Ohio State Big-10 Championship vs. Michigan
State
3 – Auburn SEC Championship vs. Missouri
4 – Alabama Sitting in Tuscaloosa.
5 – Missouri SEC Championship vs. Auburn
6 – Oklahoma St. host
Oklahoma.
The easy part and most certain of the equation is this – if FSU
beats Duke, they play for the title. Other than that, we will have to wait and
let “the process” play out. (By the way… is teaching your field goal unit how
to cover kicks a part of “the process”?)
If Michigan State can beat Ohio State – very possible – then
the door is back open to the SEC. Auburn could slide into the title game on tipped
passes and greedy dumb play calls, but they will have to beat Mizzou to get
there. A Buckeye loss and Mizzou win and
guess who could be invited to dinner? That’s right – Bama.
Think that would burn up the Auburn faithful?
Want some real craziness? What if FSU (highly unlikely) and
Ohio State lose, and Auburn wins in Atlanta – can you say rematch?
The highlights of last weekend’s crazy ending were on the
Today show this morning. The Today show…
How much hype would there be if we got an Iron Bowl
re-match?

Monday observations
Post by Mike
Monday
observations:
- The injury
to Murray is typical of this entire season. While we aren't mired in the
depths of hell with Florida, we are having some very bad luck. Fumbles on the
goal line against Mizzou. Special team brain farts. The Auburn game. It’s just
one of those years when Lady Luck gets to kick your butt even when you are
down.
There is,
however, in all this pile of poop, a bright spot.
Hutson Mason will not take his first big game action snap under the lights at Sanford Stadium on August 30, 2014 against Clemson. Instead he’ll enter next season with one half of the Kentucky game, the Georgia Tech game, fifteen bowl practices and the bowl game under his belt. Can anyone say “Silver Lining”?
Sorry about that
knee Murray, but this may be the turning point for ole’ Lady Luck.
- The Buckeye and
Auburn lobbyist are out in full force on Facebook and Twitter.
Which one is
more deserving of a shot at the BCS... yada yada. I’m certain Satan the Elf’s (STE henceforth)
head is about to explode over that discussion.
- For a brief
moment I feel kind of bad for Boom. He is, after all, a Georgia alumnus. That loss
to Georgia Southern was another reminder of just how much of a mess “Soft on
Crime” (SOC henceforth) left behind when he quit, didn’t, then quit again
because his tummy hurt. I guess his tummy doesn’t hurt when he gets to play Indiana
and Illinois.
Please give
Boom one more year Florida! We kind of like him being in Gainesville.
So at the
moment we have four teams that could play in Atlanta for the SEC/National
Title. Auburn or Alabama out of the West, Mizzou or Carolina out of the East. Personally
I would prefer to see Spurrier vs. STE.
Bama would likely win, but the chess match would be epic.
Monday, November 18, 2013
A few observations.
Post by Mike
- - On a positive note, Georgia is young and talented. Sure we lose Murray, but everyone else on both sides of the ball returns. Remember what happened to Tennessee the year after Peyton went to the big leagues?
- - Not sure if the coaching staff has thought about this, but it might be time for some situational coaching. For example maybe our receivers should hear – “If the clock is below 10 seconds and you are not going to be able to score, don’t catch the ball. Bat it to the ground.” Maybe our defensive backs should hear – “On fourth down… in game critical situations… don’t try to intercept the ball. Bat it to the ground.” They should hear this all year long, and during critical timeouts.
- - UGA's talent evaluation could be improved too. We wanted Cam to be a tight end? Marshall a cornerback? If that was our way of telling Cam, “We aren’t into paying players” I’m fine with it, but if that was a true evaluation…. Houston we have a problem.
- - The Iron Bowl will be very interesting!
- - Alabama still has to beat Auburn and the SEC East Champion for a shot at a third straight title. Meanwhile, back at the Bat Cave… Ohio State has to top mighty Indiana, Michigan and most likely Michigan State to stay in the hunt. Come on Sparty! Please save the fans of college football the torture of watching “Soft on Crime” getting humiliated by FSU in the BCS. I would much prefer a Rose Bowl beat down by Oregon to put the Buckeyes back in their place.
- - Of course the ‘Noles still have to play Idaho, Florida and either Duke or Tech in the ACC Championship. Excuse me… I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. While that Florida game and the District Attorney are challenges, FSU should make it to the title game.
- Bama fans are their own worst enemy. Twitter lit up with critical comments after the Tide beat Mississippi State 20-0. Hey guys… you’re undefeated and in the hunt for a third straight title! And Texas… who has more money than you… is gona be in the market for a new coach… Y’all had better Zip It!

The game of musical chairs has begun.
Post by Mike
The game of musical chairs has begun. Of course it began
earlier than usual with Laney Boy getting the boot at USC, but this season
could see major shifts. Think about this:
USC – Open – no way they hire Orgeron. It will likely be
Sumlin or Gruden.
Texas A&M – Obliviously if Sumlin bolts for the coast this
spot will open. This might be Mike Leach’s entrance into the SEC. He has
coached in Texas and Sumlin is from his coaching tree.
Texas – The Horns have to play an 8-1 Oklahoma State, a
Texas Tech team that has lost 3 in a row, and Baylor. OkSU and Baylor could beat
Texas, and Mack Brown would be done. If he loses only one of those, and in a
close contest, he will survive. However, Baylor may blow the doors off that
soft defense and another embarrassing loss may be too much for the money men in
Austin.
The question is who fills this spot?
If Gruden doesn't wind up at USC, it could be him. Saban
says he ain’t leaving Bama… period. We’ll see. He said the same thing about the
Dolphins. This brings to mind another college coach that recently made the jump
to the bigs. The way things are going with the Philadelphia Eagles, maybe Chip
Kelly could be lured back to junior circuit.
At one time I thought it might be Kirby, but he appears to
be waiting for the helm at Bama, which might only be a few years away.
Oklahoma – How long has it been since these guys have been
relevant to anyone outside the Sooner State? Stoops has to be on the hot seat after losses
to Texas and Baylor with Oklahoma State still in front of him.
This job ain’t what it once was and is in fact the 2nd
best football coaching job in the state thanks to the deep pockets of T. Boone who
breathed life into Oklahoma State. “I’m a man! I’m 40!”
Nebraska - Bo Pelini is likely done. Honestly I can’t
believe the Huskers haven’t pulled the trigger on this one yet. The fact that
they haven’t shows just how hard it is find a solid head coach.
Florida – Boom will get one more year. He needs to keep it
close versus FSU. Another loss to Georgia in 2014 and he’s done.
Mississippi State – who cares? That is the biggest dead end
job in football.
Maryland – do they still play football? Or is the entire
team on scholarship for fashion design?
And after last night, let's add one name to the list:
Georgia Tech - Johnson's offense might have worked when he had Chan Gailey's players, but it obviously isn't attracting top tier talent. It is hard to believe the Jackets have actual won 6 games. Think about that! The ACC is top heavy!

Let's start the new year off right!
Post by Mike
I know it’s early to be doing this, but one glance at the
BCS Bowl projections by Jerry Palm gives me hope. And I’m not talking that
baloney type of hope that the President sold the brain dead, but real hope that
“Soft on Crime” will end up in the fetal position once again.
The BCS Championship match-up between the Tide and FSU could
be an old school slobber knocker. The best of the SEC up against the best Quasi-SEC
program, what could top that you ask?
Only one thing… a Rose Bowl match-up between Stanford and
Ohio State.
Jump forward with me just for a moment to January 1, 2014.
You’re nursing your head stretched out on the sofa with a fire going and the
smell of collards and ham hocks fills the house. As the day moves along you
regain your strength and begin to feel better when you realize it has in fact
been three years since “Satan the Elf” made “Soft on Crime” his sissy with a
32-13 beat down in the SEC Championship Game. That one even made Teabow cry!
Oh the joyful memory! The warm fuzzy! A Florida humiliation
and an Urban beat down all wrapped in one! The only way it would have been
better would be if the Dawgs were delivering the pain, but hey… I’ll take it.
So then “Soft on Crime” curls up on the floor of his hotel
room sucking his thumb and quits. Then doesn't, goes 7-and-5 in 2010, and then quits
again leaving the Gators in a huge mess. You reap what you sow Florida.
So Urban does one season of ESPN. Ohio State is forced to
fire the “Bullet Proof Sweater Vest” who is outrageously soft on crime, and
goes looking. Who is out there that pretends to be squeaky clean, but in
actuality is greasier than Waffle House bacon? Hmmm that’s a tough one.
The Buckeyes land “Soft on Crime” and all those delusional Midwestern
football fans think they are back. After all, they have not been beaten over
the last two seasons, and I am certain, during the run up to the bowls, we will
hear so much talk about how they deserve to be in the title game it will give
us all diarrhea.
So if these bowl projections hold true, just be ready for
the 5 PM kickoff on January 1, 2014. Then sit back and watch Stanford impose
off-tackle brutality on Ohio State, laugh out loud and start the new year in good spirits!

Guess what just became the best game of week 4.
Post by Mike
No it isn't the upcoming 3:30 match up between Tennessee and the Lizards although this one should tell us something about the Eastern challengers.
The real intrigue this week will be in Baton Rogue when Auburn takes a former light fingered Bulldog corner back into that mad house to play QB in Guss' freakshow offense against another former Bulldog that also had issues with where he put his hands.
LSU starting QB Zach Mettenberger was asked to leave UGA after he lied to CMR about grabbing a girl's booty while partying in Valdosta.
Second Chance U moved Nick Marshall to QB after he was asked to leave UGA for thinking his teammates property was communal. Damned socialist! On Saturday he toppled mighty Mississippi State with a late game winning drive after only five weeks of practice in the new system. Can anyone say Heisman?
Just kidding, but the Auburn faithful are busy wetting themselves and see visions of Cam II dancing in their heads.
They could, however, do us a solid this Saturday and play LSU hard. Play them to triple over time. Hit them hard and wear them down. I'll even throw in a War Damn Eagle for ya!
