The Death of Notre Dame Football: At Least as Far as I’m Concerned

posted by

Two-ish Disclosures: 1. I wrote this from my cozy spot in coach on a Delta flight.  If you know me I’m about 6-3 and husky (yes, husky).  I don’t fit so well in those seats and it’s a safe bet that if a word needed something on the left side of the keyboard, it got […]

National Championship Preview: This Dawg Says Roll Tide…Just for a Night

posted by

Id’ be lying if I said this didn’t hurt.  On every possible level this at the very least kind of sucks.  I still wish Georgia was playing tonight.  Aaron Murray claims to be “over it.”  He moved on faster than I did.  That’s embarrassing.  Even aside from that still-stinging defeat, the end of college football […]

I’ve long been a proponent of the “Who would I want to play” type of polling. In other words, I think an effective way of figuring out the best teams in the country is to ask, “Who would you rather play against?” By doing so you’re able to meld résumés and momentum into a ranking […]

Weekend Preview

posted by

The election is over and since Barack Obama won there will be college football this weekend!  Because he killed Bin Laden!  But in all seriousness, regardless of your political affiliations take solace in knowing that we have a President who cares about a college football playoff.  Mitt Romney might have fixed the economy over the […]

Week Eight Recap  Wasn’t this weekend just phenomenal?  If you’re a Bulldog fan I’m sure you enjoyed all of the following: The beautiful (no win over Florida can be called ugly) win over Florida. The beat-down Georgia Tech (now 3-5) got from BYU. And the 42-point loss that Auburn took at home. But a lot […]

The Georgia Bulldogs and the BCS Poll: They Sky’s the Limit…Still

posted by

The Georgia Bulldogs took a week off to recover from a loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks and when they showed back up to work they were ranked 11th in the nation on the one poll that actually matters, the BCS Poll.  As this is the first round of such rankings for the year I […]
