Monday Morning Dawg Bites Salutes Greg McGarity and Gives Auburn's Coaching Move Two Thumbs Up!
It’s Monday morning, and it’s time we got up to speed, and, by "we," I really mean "me." I was in a mediation all day on Thursday, after which I drove up to Athens for a continuing legal education seminar beginning on Friday. Frankly, that kept me incommunicado at the end of the week, which had me...

So, which was most ignominious? Alabama suspending four of its five starters and subsequently losing a winnable road game at LSU? Southern Illinois allowing Indiana State to shoot an NCAA-record 12 of 12 3-pointers? Holy Toledo, that's bad. West Virginia losing its second straight home game, and...

Note: This edition is late, due to work commitments and my gradually decreasing interest in college basketball as this disappointing season trudges on, so it does not take into account Saturday's games. Shout-outs to Alabama, Howard, Long Beach State, North Florida and UTEP, who managed not to lose...
Wednesday Morning Dawg Bites: Rivalries, Realignment, Statistics, Shatner, and a Country Singer Caught Drinking in a Church Parking Lot on Sunday Night
Wednesday is upon us once more, and, this time, it’s an ordinary workday rather than a de facto college football holiday. Even though National Signing Day is in our rear view mirror, though, there’s still plenty to discuss and much to consider. After the jump, I’ll offer you a taste of the...

Some of our non-con opponents finally posted conference wins, which is a rather nice change of pace. Those worthy of mention are Alabama, Long Beach State, North Florida, Southern Illinois, UMES, Virginia Tech and West Virginia. Associated Press Ranking = 34 ESPN/USA Today Ranking = NR Overall...

OK, it's time for Kansas State to take matters into its own hands. The Cats need to collect some conference scalps in February, because their non-conference schedule is losing all steam. Every single non-con opponent that played this week (except Alabama and Long Beach State, who had byes) lost its...

A home loss to freakin' BYU? Virginia Tech, you are dead to me. You're the Texas A&M of the ACC. A road loss to freakin' St. John's? WTF, Huggs? Did your team suddenly decide it didn't want to finish in the Big East's top four? A road loss to freakin' SOUTH CAROLINA? OMG, Alabama. OMG....

Virginia Tech finally did something constructive, if totally unexpected, to help our resume cause by logging its first ACC win in five attempts at ranked Virginia, of all places. The Cavaliers swept the Hokies last season. Meanwhile, Charleston Southern and Long Beach State continue to beat up on...

Wins by Charleston Southern, George Washington (which is a surprising .500 in league play after an abysmal non-con), Long Beach State, UTEP and West Virginia made for a slightly cheerier update than normal. As for the losses, Howard, Loyola and Southern Illinois are lost causes, while North Florida...
