Vince Young the Natural
"History died cruelly, unusually, extinguished by a killer who didn't even lose his breath. Shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday, Vince Young sprinted across the wet Rose Bowl grass as if skating. There was no apparent sound. There was no visible sweat. He did not howl. He did not holler. He crossed...
Texas 2009 = BYU 1984? Cross Your Fingers
It’s very easy to see that title and find it somewhat disconcerting or annoying. It kind of annoys me. The differences between BYU in 1984 and Texas in 2009 are there at the surface, of course. Texas is a “have” and BYU in 1984 was a “have not”. We have the early season...
Georgia Bulldogs' 2012 Recruiting Class Should Translate from Success on National Signing Day to Success on Fall Saturdays
This class will not end up with the same marquee names as last year's so-called Dream Team . . . because last year's class was about injecting talent back into a program coming off a 6-7 season. This year is about filling needs. Seth Emerson (January 26, 2012) 2011:Dream Team 2012:Ring...
BlogPoll Preseason College Football Top 25 Rankings: Why Limit Ourselves to Looking Ahead to 2012?
(Author’s Note: The rankings following the jump are intended in jest. Bring your sense of humor with you. You have been warned.) Our good friend (and soon-to-be conference coeval) Bill Connelly, of whom I made mention earlier today after he gave Mark Richt the credit due him (and thereby almost...

2011 College Football Final BlogPoll Top 25: The Ground Rules
The coaches’ and sportswriters’ polls have been released, and the final verdict of the BlogPoll is forthcoming, though we in the blogosphere take a little more time, in the hope of getting it right. Ere I publish my final top 25 (which I am apt to do in segments, this being the ultimate...

So, what would you like to discuss? Brandon Boykin has been honored with the Paul Hornung Award. Brian VanGorder has been dishonored with the defensive coordinator’s job at Auburn University. Harris County linebacker Jordan Jenkins is scheduled to announce his college choice at 7:00 p.m. Eastern...
LSU Tigers 42, Georgia Bulldogs 10: The Countdown to the Rematch in the 2012 SEC Championship Game Begins Now
I begin the only way it is appropriate to begin, by congratulating the 2011 SEC champion LSU Tigers. The Bayou Bengals are, far and away, the best team in college football, and they proved that today, as they have proved it in every game all season long. I will be cheering for Louisiana State in...
