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.
Fundamentals and coaching credit where credit is due. There’s been a fair amount of hoopla over Bobo...

Here’s a helluva set of matching stats to compare and contrast:
… With Saturday’s 16-13 loss to Texas, [Bob Stoops] is now 6-9 in games decided by 3 points or less.
Texas Coach Mack Brown, however, thrives in nailbiters. His team’s victory made him 18-4 in games decided...

For those of you under some delusion after yesterday’s results that Georgia has a fighting chance in Jacksonville this year, let me point out to you that this Tim Tebow rush (h/t NateR at PennWagers.com)…

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.
First thought after the game: remember, that was Vanderbilt.
Second thought after the game: ...

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?
… And has anyone else noticed that Georgia hasn’t quite...

Sobering point from cocknfire:
… You might have heard something about 2006 from Richt and Co., who are referencing it as a reason why Georgia’s season still might turn around. After all, they lost to UK and Vanderbilt and things still got straightened out in the end, right...

Birds fly. Fish swim. Bloggers blog.
There’s a game tomorrow, so here I am. Georgia, in case you’re wondering, is currently ensconced as an eight-point favorite on the road. We all like to tell ourselves that Georgia struggles with Vanderbilt, historically speaking...

My brother, the Georgia Tech fan, isn’t very optimistic about the Jackets’ chances against Virginia Tech this Saturday. I tend to agree with him, although here’s a statistical snapshot that may indicate that the game will be more interesting than we anticipate:...

Meme of the day, from innumerable posts on message boards and blog commenters: if only Coach Richt were more fiery… if he’d only show more emotion on the sideline…
Hey, I’ve got your fiery right here.
Yeah, that’s working out well.

As they continue to punch holes in the WLOCP, does it occur to anyone that we may need a drink or two in Jax to numb the pain?
Just kidding. I think.

Respected members of the blogosphere chime in on Georgia’s health.
Matt Hinton melds the who-does-Mark-Richt-remind-you-of-most meme making the rounds, finds it a little overwrought, but acknowledges the bigger point:
… On the heels of Fulmer and Tuberville, the fact that...

Since registration’s been finalized, and given my ‘bias’ post of yesterday, I thought you might be interested in seeing the breakdown of voters by school affiliation and by conference affiliation.
Out of a total of 875 registrants, here’s how we shape up:

One thing about Tony Barnhart – he tends to be pretty level-headed about handing out criticism of a program or coach as it relates to on-field performance, often to the point of blandness.
That ain’t the case today.

Georgia junior cornerback Vance Cuff was arrested Tuesday by university police on misdemeanor charges of having a suspended license and emerging from an alley.

As I’ve mentioned, one big target for the Mumme Poll is taking on the bias/conflict of interest problems that plague the Coaches Poll. As Tony Barnhart illustrated in his post about the last regular season Coaches Poll vote in 2007 (it’s linked at the Mumme Poll page...

I described Coach Richt the other day as the captain of a dysfunctional ship. Everything’s relative, of course, but if you take the Georgia program as the base for defining dysfunctional, I’m at a loss for a word to describe what’s going on at the University of...

This should be, in normal times, a sleepy little week as Georgia prepares to travel to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt. After all, the Dawgs have won 13 of the last 14 meetings between the two schools. But given that we’ve officially got a Program in Crisis (cue the YouTube...

Go take a look at Ed Gunther’s post over at The National Championship Issue about how all D-1 teams have done against the spread during the period of 2000-8. The data is exhaustive and a fun read, but the must read part is at the beginning, where he reminds us what the spread...

Here’s more **** that Nick Saban doesn’t have time for:
… I can’t play video games, either. I just never grew up doing it. Pac-man, I was 27 years old when that came out. I just kind of missed it. It hasn’t been a problem to this point but it may be in the future...

David Climer’s advice to Mark Richt might resonate a little bit more if he got all of his facts straight.
Judging from what has happened this year, including the debacle at Tennessee last Saturday, Richt made a mistake when he elevated Willie Martinez to defensive coordinator two years ago.
