Georgia Bulldogs' 2012 Recruiting Class Should Translate from Success on National Signing Day to Success on Fall Saturdays
This class will not end up with the same marquee names as last year's so-called Dream Team . . . because last year's class was about injecting talent back into a program coming off a 6-7 season. This year is about filling needs. Seth Emerson (January 26, 2012) 2011:Dream Team 2012:Ring...
Penn State Was Right to Fire Joe Paterno
The wins will survive, obviously. Six undefeated seasons, two national championships, three Big Ten titles, etc. His philanthropy will survive. They're not going to take his name off the library. His sheer longevity at Penn State — 46 years as a head coach, 62 years altogether — will be in there,...

The Dawg Sports 2011 Preseason College Football BlogPoll Ballot
If college football season is almost here, that must mean it’s BlogPoll time! For the seventh year, I am a BlogPoll voter, and I spent literally tens of minutes compiling my preseason top 25! Actually, I devote considerable effort to this enterprise during the regular season, but, at this stage of...
Monday Night Dawg Bites: Countdown to Kickoff Edition
Today has been a big day for Dawg Sports, but I wouldn’t want the groundbreaking news here at the blog to distract you from all the other events of interest in and around Bulldog Nation. If you’re like me, you’ve had a pretty overwhelming day, and you’re suffering from a bit of decision fatigue, so...
Dr. Saturday’s Official Playoff Plan
Matt Hinton over at Dr. Saturday has unveiled his plan for a playoff in college football. All in all it’s not a bad system he designed, although it does seem to have some issues (which every playoff format would) that I’d like to briefly discuss. If you head over to his site you might want to...
2010 Liberty Bowl Too Much Information: Georgia Bulldogs v. Central Florida Knights
North Georgia is blanketed in snow, the Liberty Bowl is just days away, and I appear inadvertently to have begun this posting in a manner reminiscent of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. The event---the bowl game, not the virtually unprecedented Christmas snowfall in the Peach State or the...
What Are the Odds of the Auburn Tigers' Cameron Newton Winning the Heisman Trophy?
Right about the time MaconDawg began examining Cameron Newton’s Heisman Trophy prospects, Dr. Saturday reported that bookmakers had stopped laying odds on the Auburn quarterback’s chances.

Quack Fix: Harris semifinalist for Thorpe Award, Barner practices again, nation still smitten with Duck offense
It feels like each week is getting longer and longer. It's probably just impatience, but Saturday can't come soon enough. If you're feeling the same way, you're going to need your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix to help you cope: Sophomore Cliff Harris is one of 10 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe...
Why the Accuracy of Bowls and Polls is Better for College Football Than the Finality of a Division I-A Playoff
I take a back seat to no one in my regard for Matt "Dr. Saturday" Hinton---heck, his alma mater gets a vote on my preseason BlogPoll ballot merely for having him as an alumnus---but there is no issue facing college football about which we disagree more than the subject of a Division I-A playoff.
