- Sanchez is leaving. Pete Carrol's not thrilled with it, and questions the decision, but from the kid's POV, it makes sense. He'll probably never be a starter anyway, there's no Bradford or McCoy ahead of him in the draft, and who doesn't like literally millions of dollars?
Also, it must get boring not going to the BCS title game and just chewing up lame big-10 competition year in and year out.
- Brandon Spikes is coming back. Percy Harvin is not. Florida is still preseason #1. But, I think the loss of Harvin is bigger than we realize right now. Imagine that BCS Title game without him...Gators might still win, but it would have been tougher. On the bright side, at least we can finally stop hearing about his injuries and whether or not he feels 100%.
- Greg Hardy will be returning to Ole Miss. On a related note, Ole Miss WILL NOT be as good next year. I'm basing this on the fact that Houston Nutt is not some new coach to the league. We've all seen this dance before. His record will be a game or two worse and the Rebs will be mid-pack in the West. Anyone fooled into thinking that Ole Miss will be an actual contender next season must be new to SEC football. Or, have more faith in the Right Reverend than I do.
- In the same vein, Georgia will probably not fall off that much next season, even with losing Stafford and Moreno. Remember the rebuilding year? Consistency, thy name is Richt - for better or worse.
- I cannot wait until ESPN takes over the BCS broadcasts. I'm usually not one to bitch about commentators, but C'MON FOX - man, you guys are awful. Why do we ever need the screen split into 4 shots during a football game? Especially, while a play unfolds. During the Fiesta Bowl, we missed a trick-formation play by Ohio State as the booth was pitching their dumbass Pontiac competition. In the national title game, both guys got the down wrong deep in the redzone. Did I mention that it was the NATIONAL TITLE game?! Fuck. I'd rather have Jefferson Pilot/Raycom/Lincoln Financial call the damn game. The broadcast might be iffy, but at least the Daves know the basics of the game.
- Even as a Georgia fan, I like Tim Tebow, I really do. And, I believe I've made that obvious on here. But, even I balk at saying that the fact he's a Christian is relevant to the discussion of his talent or impact on the game. Now, does his faith have an impact on his character? Undoubtedly. But does which faith he ascribes to matter? And, does the faith itself matter to the greater good?
Read this article about it. I tend to agree with Doyel on this. If Tebow was not a Christian, would we be so high on his faith? If he drew inspiration from, like Doyel says, the Koran or B.O.M., would we pay it as much attention? What if he was an Atheist who drew inspiration on how to be a good person from Aesop's Fables? Would we ever mention it? No. Urban Meyer needs to scale down his statement a little. But wtf do I know? The man has two titles in 3 years...
Now, go here to have fun with it.
- I wonder if Chris brown can even talk about football with average fans. We all know what a crossing route is, but do we know this much? I bet he just smiles and nods, avoids anything that he might have to defend or explain, and generally tries to stay away from football discussions just to make his life more peaceful. It's like when Evolution or politics comes up with my family.
- Congratulations to the Atlanta Falcons for their successful season. It's hard to be disappointed with them, especially since I thought they had a realistic shot at pulling a Detroit style 0-16. All I want next season is 9 wins. Then we would have made franchise history by putting together back-to-back winning seasons. Baby steps.
- Signing Day is a few weeks away, so hang on tight as we run through the recruiting gauntlet. My favorite story so far? Burnette refusing to leave high school and enroll at UGA early because he's going to be there Valedictorian. Nice. I always prefer these stories to the ones about kids not qualifying, prep academies, police charges, and booster violations.

- And, one last time for the season:
Did you guys know that Texas beat Oklahoma in the RRR?
Go here for the rest of the motivationals.
