Scary Rivals In Your Face
Haven’t felt that sting. When, historically for me, my Dawgs have had two or three losses on the year, especially in my favorite calendar month (see #rOCkTOBER at http://www.hanvance.com), there has been a whole hell of a lot of chicken clucking, syrupy-stupid Vols saying “nice try, buddy, maybe next year.” Vandy is not a real […]
Tiebreaker Explained
On down the list, it states that it matters what the records are of the SEC teams, especially divisional teams, you have competed head-to-head with, so if the Dawgs-Cocks-Mizzou all have two conference losses and Mizzou’s second SEC East loss is to Tennessee, as Carolina’s was, and UGA’s was Vandy (recall we three each beat […]
Stats Leaders
When Vandy – still smarts we lost, doesn’t it! – wideout Jordan Matthews was overshadowed by best in the SEC WR Mike Evans in a blowout loss, it emphasized the difference in a huge season and an epic career. The Peyton Manning rare exceptions to the rule excepted, the best NFL talent does not play […]
Heading South
The University of Georgia, the nation’s oldest state chartered public university, was founded in 1785. We were busy inventing the American public university model 60 years before Florida was even a state. The top two academic public universities in the SEC (Vandy, also strong academically, is the only private institution in the world’s greatest college […]
Divisional Tiebreaker:
A. TWO-TEAM TIE 1. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams. 2. Records of the tied teams within the division. 3. Head-to-head competition vs. the team within the division with the best overall record (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to […]
SEC Power Shifts Middle
At the bottom is an article I posted back in August about these programs: 1. Alabama – going for 3-of-4 nationally, undefeated but largely untested 2. Georgia – 4 and 3 and missing 7 of 22 starters, bad defense, horrible special teams 3. LSU – two losses already and more inconsistent than ever 4. South […]
Lost Seasons Across SEC East
Want to find a contender in the SEC East? You have to leave the East and the South this year. GEORGIA was 12-2 last year after gaining 7.09 yards per offensive play. The offense was coming back for another run. The Gators were a BCS bowl team and had a dominant D returning. South Carolina […]
Nashville, Athens (Branson and Austin, even)
Never, ever cheer for a player to get injured but looking at the Show Me State studs’ remaining schedule, for the SEC East (2-0 in conference) leading Mizzou Tigers, it’s to Georgia’s significant advantage that Maty Mauck has been forced to replace James Franklin. They must lose twice in the SEC while we sweep for […]

Baker’s Dozen Pass Catching Options
Great upperclass passing quarterbacks are always known for spreading the wealth and sharing the ball. MURRAY FOR HEISMAN certainly qualifies. The cupboard is not by any means bare in the Classic City. In fact, a full dozen pass catching options remain this season. The wildcard is steady Michael Bennett, who may make it back later […]
