Vince Young the Natural
"History died cruelly, unusually, extinguished by a killer who didn't even lose his breath. Shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday, Vince Young sprinted across the wet Rose Bowl grass as if skating. There was no apparent sound. There was no visible sweat. He did not howl. He did not holler. He crossed...
Texas 2009 = BYU 1984? Cross Your Fingers
It’s very easy to see that title and find it somewhat disconcerting or annoying. It kind of annoys me. The differences between BYU in 1984 and Texas in 2009 are there at the surface, of course. Texas is a “have” and BYU in 1984 was a “have not”. We have the early season...
LSU Tigers 42, Georgia Bulldogs 10: The Countdown to the Rematch in the 2012 SEC Championship Game Begins Now
I begin the only way it is appropriate to begin, by congratulating the 2011 SEC champion LSU Tigers. The Bayou Bengals are, far and away, the best team in college football, and they proved that today, as they have proved it in every game all season long. I will be cheering for Louisiana State in...
Georgia Bulldogs v. LSU Tigers: Too Much Information (Part Three)
The SEC Championship Game kicks off in 24 hours. In the first two installments of this special edition of Too Much Information, I have compared the conference schedules and examined the shared history of the Georgia Bulldogs and the LSU Tigers. I now offer my final thoughts upon the matter, for...
Postgame/Afternoon/Evening College Football Game Day Open Comment Thread
The Georgia Bulldogs had an early kickoff this week, but there's still lots of stuff to discuss after a 12:30 p.m. Eastern start in Sanford Stadium. More precisely, there are three things to discuss: (1) Georgia's game, the result thereof, the conclusions to be drawn thereby, and the consequences...
The Counterargument for Clemson: A Respectful Reply to The Feathered Warrior, from One SEC Stalwart to Another
Now that the Big 12 may have been saved, the conference expansion conversation may have been rendered moot, but, because The Feathered Warrior was kind enough to pen an excellent rebuttal to my case for Clemson’s addition to the SEC as the league’s 14th team, I feel moved to answer, with a warning:...
Boise State Broncos 35, Georgia Bulldogs 21: "For Nothing Now Can Ever Come to Any Good"
Part of me wants to pull a Lewis Grizzard here. Part of me wants to write, "Frankly, I don’t want to talk about it," and just go to bed. That, however, would not be fair. It wouldn’t be fair to you, and it wouldn’t be fair to the Boise St. Broncos, about whom more anon. Besides, we both know I’m...
2011 General College Football Predictions
When I posted my preseason conference championship predictions back on August 22---practically the Progressive Era, in blog years---I promised that general college football predictions were coming soon. Well, I guess this qualifies as "soon" in geological time (or if you’re waiting for vineyarddawg...
When Nevin Met Orson: A One-Act Play
(Author’s Note: I’m not going to lie to you; jet lag and an atypical midday nap on Monday have conspired to throw off my sleep schedule, as a consequence of which I am out of sorts, and it shows. Fortunately, lots of other folks have more than taken up the slack, for which I am most obliged. Since...
It's Time to Take the Georgia Bulldogs 2011 College Football Preseason Quiz!
We are within a month of the 2011 college football season, and, frankly, we’re not yet in preseason form. No, I’m not referring to the Georgia Bulldogs; they seem to be doing fine so far, but we in the blogosphere need to step it up a notch in order to be prepared for the fall campaign. Inasmuch as...
