http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/school/509 Recent Yardbarker Articles: Georgia Bulldogs en-us Last night, while watching the Oregon Ducks defeat the Oregon St. Beavers, I found myself thinking ahead to bowl season. Actually, that’s not entirely true. Last night, while watching the Oregon Ducks defeat the Oregon St. Beavers, I found myself thinking, "Is Chip Kelly trying to make coaching decisions so strange as to baffle Les Miles?" As Joe Tiller learned the hard way in the 2000 Outback Bowl, no coach should ever go for two unless he has to go for two, and, after scoring a...

The ears are senseless that should give us hearing To tell him his commandment is fulfilled, That Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. Where should we have our thanks? Hamlet, Act V, Scene II I apologize if that was a bit melodramatic, but I already used II Samuel 3:38 to mark the death of Uga VII and there was something appropriate in returning to Hamlet to mark the bloodletting that ended the bloodletting: I d...

The Outback Bowl's selection is utterly indefensible, as A...

I saw such upsets as the South Carolina Gamecocks’ win over the Clemson Tigers and the Mississippi St. Bulldogs’ win over the Mississippi Rebels, and I saw such near-upsets as the Alabama Crimson Tide’s close call against the Auburn Tigers and the Texas Longhorns’ close call against the Texas A&M Aggies, and I said, In each of those, the underdog had the advantage of playing at home. I saw the Georgia Bulldogs go 74 yards in ten snaps---all of them r...

If you’re looking here for any indication to the contrary, you need to look elsewhere. Having said so, I would hasten to add that I laughed heartily at the specious nonsense I saw in this morning’s Technique Atlanta Journal-Constitution suggesting that the Ramblin’ Wreck was about t...

Last week, my daughter caught what had ailed her big brother. This week, I took ill, and I felt worse and worse throughout the day on Saturday, leading me ultimately to the conclusion that I should eschew the season’s final home game and watch the clash in the comfort of my living room. Needless to say, that was a good decision, despite the fact that it forced me to listen to Bob Davie’s insipid commentary, in which he actually said, "We’l...

In addition, it has been a busy week for me personally, and I am seriously under the weather this evening. The bright spot in all this is that is puts me in an appropriately negative frame of mind to bring you . . . Too Much Information!

A chunk of us were lucky enough to make the trip down to Athens and be embraced by the warm hospitality of Georgia fans.

"The handle he had on the Georgia offense, he could answer our questions almost before they came out of our mouths," Mangini said in a conference call with Detroit reporters. "He would answer it in a way that was incredibly detailed - position by position, player by player, what t...

In other news, Clemson is doing well, which may give the Tigers' fans reason to panic. I have to say, renewing the rivalry with Clemson in a bowl game...

Granted, tomorrow’s visiting team boasts better records than the host squad, both overall (5-3 to the Bulldogs’ 4-4) and in league action (4-2 to Georgia’s 3-3), but the Golden Eagles tee it up in the Division I-AA Ohio Valley Conference. Accordingly, there’s not a whole lot to say that ...

Exactly 89 years ago today, on November 3, 1920, the following words from the pen of sportswriter Morgan Blake appeared in The Atlanta Journal: We no...

All the signs are there. (Otherwise intelligent rival fans pretending not to understand the difference between being arrested and clearing up a speeding ticket by paying a fine? Check!)
