Viewing Guide: Rivalry Week
The closer we get to Thanksgiving the more every college football fan begins to feel like they're about to have a pile of presents to unwrap. It creeps up on us with the same ethereal sense of urgency and release as watching a clock tick towards happy hour from your cubicle. Or trapped in your car...
Podcast #24: The One Where Roy Kramer Appears At Our Seance
Today we were joined by arithmetic ninja SynTex of BCS 101. He gave us a great refresher on how this system "works" (big fingers in the air quote marks) and we went over a few scenarios that currently seem possible. Of course a whole bunch of teams play this weekend and will screw some of that up....
The Iron Bowl Gene Chizik
When Gene Chizik coached our defense, they normally looked a lot like they did last night. I didn’t hate the guy in ways that were unhealthy, but Scipio and Chris Applewhite certainly did. In any event, it is farfetched to think about his defense positively impacting us today, but I still find it...
SEC Expansion, Divisional Realignment, and Rivalries: Walking a Fine Line Between Growth and Tradition
As a fan of the lower-ranked of the two Southeastern Conference division champions, I read with interest C&F’s recent piece on the wisdom of the SEC’s divisional structure, in which he had this to say: As a South Carolina fan, I despise Georgia, a hatred that is only surpassed by my disdain for...
Time to Give Thanks...
It's hard to believe another Thanksgiving is upon us. One thing I've learned as I've aged is that time moves faster. This is my sixth year doing the annual Thanksgiving column. It started as a tribute to former Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Furman Bisher. Since I was a child, I've raced...

Georgia Bulldogs v. Auburn Tigers: Too Much Information
This week, no introduction is needed. It’s the Georgia Bulldogs. It’s the Auburn Tigers. It’s Too Much Information: University of Georgia alumnus Charles Herty and University of Virginia alumnus George Petrie met as graduate students at Johns Hopkins University, where they both became acquainted...
Nebraska And Iowa Start "Heroes Game": How About Naming Some Of BC's Rivalries?
This morning during Big Ten Media Day the conference announced the name of a new rivalry, "The Heroes Game". No this isn't a game between Army and Navy, this is a game that will be played between Iowa and Nebraska. Doesn't have the same ring as the "Backyard Brawl", "Red River Rivalry" or even the...
Officially at War? Auburn and Alabama Inch Closer
It's finally happened. So much for Toomer's for Tuscaloosa and Alabama fans lining up to donate money to help the Auburn trees. Who were we kidding? The actions of the past seven days have destroyed any good will from those gestures. The day that many sane Auburn and Alabama fans feared has...
A Georgia Bulldogs Fan Reacts to the Toomer's Corner Oaks Being Poisoned: Thoughts from the Other Side of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry
We momentarily interrupt this manic-depressive basketball season for the purpose of offering a few passing thoughts on the poisoning of the oaks at Toomer’s Corner. Before beginning, I should note that it comes as no surprise to anyone that I hate Auburn. The Plainsmen are our oldest rivals, the...
