On the Other Hand . . .
I've been as pessimistic as anyone leading into the 2009 football season, but, for those inclined to look for hope, I am able to offer at least a word of encouragement; viz.: Orson Charles was among the hottest prospects who inked national letters of intent last February. In the end, three schools...
A Look at Paul Finebaum's Ranking of SEC Coaches in the Post-Bear Bryant Era
All right, I get it. The enterprise of ranking coaches is even more subjective than the enterprise of ranking teams, and is even more prone to being skewed by the agendas and biases of the folks doing the listing, so there’s only so much stock that should be put into even the most meticulous list...
The Emergence of "Hip Richt"
After the 2007 season, the most popular new coach in Bulldog Nation was Evil Richt (a/k/a Dark Richt). We didn’t see much of that guy in 2008, perhaps because casting a nice guy in the role of the bad boy simply isn’t sustainable in the long run, particularly in a league that already features...
Pick Your Players: Two Georgia Bulldogs We'll Be Watching
In case you haven’t noticed---and, judging by the comment thread, you haven’t---basketball season just ended, which means the countdown to G-Day officially is underway! G-Day means a lot of things to a lot of people. For me, G-Day is about tailgating, friends, family, Athens in the springtime,...
"Dork Calling Orson; Come In, Orson. . . .": One Blogger's Shout-Out to Orson Charles
There was this one party in college where we were at a house rented by some friends of ours and I was inside the house and my buddy (now my brother-in-law, but that’s a whole ‘nother story) Travis was out on the porch and one of the girls who was out on the porch with Trav started to tell a wildly...

The Orson Charles recruiting train is scheduled to make its final stop at a currently unknown destination at 3:45 PM today. (Unfortunately, recruiting trains are notoriously slow to come to a complete stop, so the arrival time is more like 3:45 PM through 4:14 PM today.) As you all know, Charles...
Talking points: Total number of commitments after big weekend? Um . . .
Tennessee Huge, HUGE recruiting weekend for the Vols. The news? Not really huge. Or even large or medium- or regular-sized. In fact, few things changed and those that have are not really good news. Marlon Brown? Still undecided and will choose at a National Signing Day press conference between...
Talking points: rivalry is alive and well on the House floor, thank you, edition
Tennessee Recruiting update. DB Darren Myles? Down to three: Tennessee, Alabama, and LSU, he says. On Myles' visit to Tennessee this past weekend, he was met in the hotel lobby by Monte Kiffin who treated him to a lengthy session on the many variations of the Tampa 2 before Myles could even get...
Wednesday Open Recruiting Thread
Only 144 hours left until National Signing day. Numerous studies indicate that recruiting rankings directly translate to on-field success. From 2002-2006, no team did a better job squandering talented prospects than Florida State (though Tennessee was close). That started to change in 2007 and...
