Coach Richt, your team has the bye week to prepare for Florida. You don’t need to worry about the weather. Travelling to the game site has been made more efficient. So, where do you have the staff focus?
Fundamentals are never a bad thing to emphasize.

A little of this, a little of that, this morning…
Steve Spurrier says Alabama lies and cheats.

He was asking for the tiniest of favors, he thought. Surely no one would mind.
Wrong, bacon breath.

This caught me by surprise.
… Sophomore running back Richard Samuel – who started the first six games, but waited until the third quarter for his first carry in Saturday’s win at Vanderbilt – could eventually move to linebacker, but not before the offseason...

There are three givens in this conference to date: Florida and Alabama will win, and Vanderbilt will lose. The rest is just a bloody mess, which is entertaining, if nothing else.

And with that ringing endorsement, a new star is born, people: PlayoffPAC. Please give generously.
There’s plenty of comedy gold to mine there, including cites to not one, but two John Feinstein articles.
And the usual suspects sound very impressed and supportive.

The Wiz complies sort of a greatest hits post of officiating calls from the Arkansas-Florida game here. Make sure you listen to the tone in Gary Danielson’s voice as he reviews the call against Malcolm Sheppard. Like I said, I’m not the only one feeling it.

I didn’t see any shocking truths revealed in the broadcast that weren’t apparent watching the game live, but there are three points worth reiterating/expanding upon.

I’m back from cooler than usual Opryland. It’s always a good thing to watch your team emerge with a conference win on the road, especially when they’re 3-3 going in.

You know, it was that key coordinator bolting the Georgia program a few years ago for what he thought were greener pastures that’s knocked Mark Richt back. Yeah, it’s a shame Brian Van… excuse me, who?
