  Still too busy to write much alas.
  
  Georgia at Tennessee (a winnable game I just don't feel like we're going to pull out), Braves versus Stros. Georgia is going to have to do some damage in the red zone, and probably with some big plays through the air, [...]

  [b]The Dawgs:[/b]
  
  A typical Mark Richt win? Some form of that phrase is likely to appear all over the papers & Internet this week I'd imagine. The Dawgs played an inferior opponent, moved up and down the field mostly at will, and managed to make the final score look' [...]

  I'm swamped at work right now, unfortunately. Doesn't look like it's going to clear up in the near future either.
  
  What to make of Mississippi State? I'm just not sure. Their opponents to date have been Murray State, Auburn, and Tulane. They only surrendered 320 yards to Auburn, [...]

• Weekends are supposed to be for relaxing

  Number of comments: 1
  I've had worst weekends, but this one wasn't fun. Georgia flops on a day it nets 543 yards of offense, only allows 211 on defense, and nearly covers a 38 point spread. The Falcons take the first half off and come up just short, not to mention a potentially alarming [...]

  Dawgs win and probably cover. It's a lot of points. But then I think ULM lost to a 1AA or DII school in their previous game. I'm excited that quite a number of backups should get extended time.
  
  The Dawgs welcomed their 20th verbal commitment of the recruiting [...]

  It was ugly, no doubt about it. South Carolina had their chances, but dropped interceptions and critical penalties helped steal away the upset chance. There was some encouraging things to take from the game, I think. Carolina was better than they thought I would be. I wasn't expecting a blowout' [...]

  And I have absolutely no idea how to feel about the game. The spread seems high - I don't think we've been a good bet in games like this in recent years. There's quite a bit about UGA we still don't know after last weekend. And the same is true [...]

  Mike Elkon of Braves & Birds fame has a column up at collegefootballnews.com dated last thursday where he provides a road map for picking overrated teams, and then picks a couple. I'm late but it's a good read and he's been saying this stuff for years. If you' [...]

  It was a good holliday weekend. The Braves went 3-1. The Dawgs proved that technology is the root of all evil. The United States dispatched Mexico to clinch a berth in Germany in 06 (note: I am chagrined to report that I went up to a local bar for the [...]

  Boise State's high tech offense never really got off the ground Saturday. Some thoughts on the game:
  
  1)Temperature was ideal (in part due to the time but it was just a good weekend overall).
  
  2)Jared Zabranski was not ideal. Ok, he was awful. Georgia had a nice 24-0' [...]

• Blank to Reeves: Nuh-uhh!

  Number of comments: 0
  Seems Arthor Blank was not the man who got the Price deal through. At least, according to Arthor Blank (who some consider to be an authority on Arthur Blank). I don't know who is right and more importantly: I don't care.
  
  I do have one concern. Mr Blank, the [...]

  Cox knows more than me. The Braves as an organization know more than me. It's why any attempt to critique them in this place is just silly. I could have, for example, complained that Devine's minor league numbers were deceptively good pre-callup (an alarming number of walks *and* hit batsmen [...]

  And it isn't pretty. What started out as a massacre in the making turned into a pretty tense and enjoyable contest in the second half (admittedly: enjoyable if you are rooting against Spurrier). Cackalacki shot itself in the knee a couple of times but held on to win with a' [...]

  A few things about Saturday's Boise State vs Georgia match up:
  
  1)“It's not the heat, it's the humidity” is cliché because it's true. There's no getting around that. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying through their teeth. That said, the 5:30pm start time is going to help Boise and' [...]

  I've been swamped at work of late and unable to complete a couple of thoughts on this weekends Georgia contest. Maybe I'll get to that this afternoon.
  
  At lunch, I read an article by the AJC that further discussed the Falcons' severing ties with Peerless Price. Apparently, Dan-o' [...]

  Reads the somewhat shocking AJC headline this morning. It didn't take much to think about why - and everything I've read since confirms it. Scott Burnside has a pretty good article up on ESPN.com about it.
  
  His article touches on some of the more unpleasant aspects of [...]

  Amongs the voters are former atheletes (Steve Largent, Raghib Ismail), CFB Luminaries (Roy Kramer, who promises not to piss off EDSBS this time), and coaches (Garry DiNardo, Lee Corso. Just kidding on that last one). It's too early to say, but I'm guessing they'll' [...]

  A Report has appeared claiming that the Atlanta Spirit will buyout Steve Belkin's contract. It's great news for the 37 remaining Hawks fans in the state, and probably decent news for the several thousand Thrashers fans as well. Belkin apparently was into owning a team but not on spending [...]

  Kevin Cott - aka“The Intern” of Sports Guy Fame - has a nice piece up on Andruw Jones on Page2. It's a pretty good read, nothing earth shattering to be sure; I think it nicely conveys what a lot of people have probably felt towards Andruw over the past' [...]

  So Michael sayeth. I don't get those sports talk stations well down here in Macon, so I don't get this kind of juiciness on the way to work.

  So, the Braves did make a deal for a reliever – Kyle Farnsworth.
  
  This deal is interesting for a number of reasons. Firstly, I think it's a great move. Farnsworth is having an excellent year. He's been inconsistent in the past, and temperamental. He's been accused of too often' [...]

  Apparently, there's a new coach in the SEC named Irvin Meyer, and he runs a pretty cool offense. You have to scroll way down to see the question, which amused me considerably.
