Cocktails!

A round of shots in preparation for JAX.

1. Heading into this weekend, the always researched and reliable Phil Steele has two teams on top of his toughest schedule rankings. Guess who they are. That's right. Georgia and Florida. Check it here. The Dawgs are projected to play 10 teams with winning records to the Gators 8. There is no other team playing 10, by the way. I just hope we can beat Florida, or none of this means much.

2. The Dance. Richt and Meyer are not discussing it. Will Meyer counter with something this season? What if Richt does it again? Will there be, as Mark Bradley asks, a "counter-counter celebration?" Read his insight here. Bradley makes some good points.

According to his write up, the celebration

"is the single smartest thing [Richt] has done as a coach. It changed the dynamics of a series that, from the Bulldog perspective, was past due for a change."

Bradley continues:

"Think about that: A team that won the 2006 BCS title is concerned with the team that, until 2007, was its personal doormat. "

Good Point. I'm all for fundamentals and discipline. I say it here ad nauseum. But, I have to admit, I liked the call. It was a needed spark and I'll always take a W.

3. Pat Dooley of the Gainesville Sun calls this the biggest edition of the Cocktail Party ever. When you think about it, at least from a pre-game, implications down the road view-point, it very well might be. But, the AJC's Chip Towers did some digging. Check it out.

It is only the fifth time they're both in the top-10. That's pretty big. But, we wont know the true magnitude of this game until we see what happens to Texas, Bama, and PSU. And, probably a few other one-lossers, too.

4. Here are some things I've learned from my experiences and those of my friends:

- Stay close enough to the landing to use the tram-thingy

- Drink liquor in your room, then stick to the $5 big-ass beers when you're out

- Don't let RBD wander away on his own - he will get injured

- Don't think it's a good thing to make out with random Florida girls when your friend is more sober than you and will remember what they look like later

- People snore much louder when they're drunk

- Sometimes oral sex is really loud

- An egg, when thrown from a moving vehicle, can break a man's jaw (if that man has the worse luck on the planet)

- KTL will fight a woman

- The older you get, the less people you should put in your room

- Cold medicine+alcohol=Tim's face in the wall

- BAFFLING (B-are A-ss F-ace) is the sport of kings

- Both schools have good fans and shit heads; hot chicks and skanks

- Since it's an election year, be ready for the last minute campaigning - and the overwhelming Republican voters

- There's not much to do in JAX at 9:00 am Thursday morning, but the local cops will let you know when you can start drinking
