Ten Headlines SEC Fans Should Expect to Read this Off-season
We’re hitting that really awkward stretch of the year when as football fans we can only do three things:
- Start gearing up for March Madness (the most viable option)
- Pretend to be excited about baseball by saying things like, “Can’t beat the ballpark on a Spring day!”
- Start leaning hard on our NBA League Pass subscriptions and talking about the improved product that the NBA is putting out.
To be fair, I’ll probably give those three areas some coverage over the coming months. I’ve posted March Madness Brackets before, and I’d actually like to do a DudeYouCrazy reader Bracket Challenge and offer a substantial prize. DadYouCrazy and I are going to the Final Four, so I’d be crazy not to write a thing or two about Georgia’s impending miraculous run to a National Championship in men’s hoops.
I’ll be at a baseball game or two and I can almost guarantee that I will post a picture or two of such experiences on the Tweeter Machine. And, I’ll be tweeting the crap out of some NBA basketball once the playoffs start.
But at the end of the day I like to spend my evenings writing about college football. So I’m going to stick to that sweet spot. In that spirit, here are the top-ten stories that I expect to write about in the future:
10. 33rd Florida Gator Arrested for Marijuana Use/Possession: Is there a Problem in Gainesville? Muschamp Says, “BOOOOOOM!!!! No.”
9. You think you know Vanderbilt football, but you have no idea how Vanderbilt football I can be: James Franklin Speaks
8. Missouri Apologizes to Big XII, Seeks Reinstatement…for Football Only
7. Despite Fan Sentiment, Georgia’s Young Talent is Just That: Young and Talented
6. Les Miles Says Something Crazy, Doesn’t Think it is Crazy. Everybody Else Thinks it is Crazy.
5. Jadeveon Clowney Tests Positive for Alien Blood, Claims to be Human Anyway
4. Urban Meyer Has Heart Attack, Promises to Quit Coaching, Returns to Practice Field Same Day
3. If You Thought Last Year’s 7-6 Ole Miss Team was Awesome, Wait Till You See This Year’s 7-6 Ole Miss Team
2. Mark Richt Does Really Nice Thing for Person/Place/Institution in Need: Georgia Fanbase Calls Him Soft
1. Big 10, Big XII, ACC, Pac-12 and Big East Announce Plans to Form Super-Conference Called the “Big Big Big Pacific East Atlantic Conference 10 XII 12” (or the “3 Big PEAC 101212″ for short) in Attempt to Come in Second to SEC in Football
I’ll do my best to make sure these events really do happen, but even if they don’t I’ll pretend they did and write about them.
That’s all I got/

I believe CMR is a wonderful Christian man. I also believe that if winning was not a priority he should be coach for life. However do you see a pattern here? Winning seasons, never playing for the title! So the question is do you want a winner or a good Christian man? I’ll take the Christian man in anything other than sports. Why do we root for UGA to win or to watch a good Christian man
Vince Dooley won one NC. Why did we keep him for 25 years? Richt is on schedule to win about as many SEC titles as Dooley in his first 25 yrs. Winning records over all our biggest traditional rivals is one reason to keep him.
Lots of people talk about how Mark Richt needs to go because “we” are not gonna win a NC until “we” replace him… these same fans act as it if their right to such success despite the fact that (A) Most are not alumni of UGA (or even prior students) and (B) Most have never given a DIME to the University (buying football tickets from a scalper doesn’t count). When we talk about the University of Georgia football team, we aren’t just talking about winning and losing (and by the way, take a look at CMR’s winning record vs. 99% of all the active college coaches)… we are talking about the lives of young men. When (not if) the University of Georgia plays for a National Championship, it will happen the Georgia way… the right way. UGA won’t cheat and lie… won’t tolerate thugs and druggies and petty criminals on the team… and will eventually win with a group of young men who place team above self. Ask any young man who has ever played for Mark Richt and I can bet you that all but one or two will have only positive things to say about him as a Coach and as a man. To answer your question, Fred Russo… I root for UGA BECAUSE they are coached by a Christian man who is a WINNER on and off the field.
You really are doing yourself a disservice by not taking the time to learn and appreciate the other Football, soccer. There will lots of exciting soccer played before college football starts. If you take the time to really understand soccer, it is a great display of skill, endurance and athletic ability.
Mark Richt’s Christian faith has absolutely no bearing on his ability to coach or win. Being a Christian does not equate with softness or incompetence. The man has his priorities in order, Faith, Family Football. What does it profit a man if he wins ma National Championship and builds a dynasty yet loses his own soul. I am so thankful for his influence and example. To cite Christianity as an impediment to winning and success is just down right asinine.
You are spot on, jaj1112. If anyone thinks otherwise they need to stop and really think. That’s all I have to say here. Go Dawgs!
Richt is a perfect fit for the University of Georgia administration and 90% of the fanbase. That is why he has been there this long and has a very long leash and a middle of the pack salary. Most fans know that UGA will never be an Alabama in football because UGA does not want to be an Alabama. As disappointed as we were to lose the SECCG we were not devastated like Alabama fans would have been had they lost. We accepted a moral victory. They would still be in shock and denial and talking about their 14 other national championships.
Ole miss headline = Awesome
I’m looking forward to the next installment in the ‘Alien’ series: “Alien vs Clowney”…
Tell me why you think OM will be 7-6 next year. As much as I hate to say it, I think Freeze will do a good job.
schedule, for a start.
At Vandy, At Texas, At Alabama, At Miss State, at Auburn, aTm and LSU at home. Not an easy road.
Vandy and Auburn will be better, Miss State is a rivalry game.
I hope you’re right! I am a displaced GA boy in “Black Bear” country and it is a lot of fun seeing these obnoxious fans having a bad season.
