Collegiate Licensing = Big Buck$

1. Texas
2. Michigan
3. Florida
4. Notre Dame
5. LSU
6. Georgia
7. North Carolina
8. Penn State
9. Alabama
10. Tennessee
It is not unusual for the Top 10 to jostle around from quarter to quarter, but the same 10 to 15 schools are always around that top echelon. Winning, of course, is a major factor in sales along with the size of alumni/fan base, student body enrollment, high visibility alumni who continue to drive the schools notoriety, and overall fan followings. It all has to do with brand recognition. Most universities use the revenue funds for financial aid and to fund athletic scholarships.

Notre Dame & NBC: WHY?

NBC renewed its television contract with Notre Dame today through the 2015 season. The contract calls for 7 home games and 1 off-campus 'home' game. All home games at Notre Dame must be played in the afternoon. Night games are said to be too disruptive for Irish students. So with all the potentially great college football match-ups around the country practically every fall Saturday afternoon, one powerful network sticks us with Notre Dame. NBC says it is not about ratings, which are understandably down. They feel the Irish still have that 'lure'; that we want to watch them just because they're the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I've got news for you guys: we want to watch good football teams and exciting football games. Notre Dame has finished in the Top 10 only three times during their 17 year run with the network. They were 3-9 last year. When most teams finish below .500 they have to "play their way" back on TV. In other words, they have to get better to be seen on Saturday's airways. Evidently NBC is saying they would rather have a mediocre Notre Dame as opposed to a legitimate Top 10 contest. I don't think that's quite the same as saying you'd take Tiger on 1 1/2 legs as opposed to anyone else on the PGA Tour. If you think about it this fall when ND is occupying that mid-afternoon time slot playing another "wanna be", check and see the other games not being televised that you would much rather be able to view. Now that will be a good way to get you all riled-up on Game Day.

Advantage to Both "Bulldogs" at CWS

Willie Randolph: Midnight Madness

A "Tip of the Cap" For Rocco Mediate

You kept it close, and interesting, and thrilling, and fun. You competed...man did you ever compete. You made all of us under dogs proud. You said in an interview after Saturday's round that you probably wouldn't have the opportunity to be in this position again. Here's hoping that you do, and that when you do you pull out the win. At least we know you'll throw everything you have at 'em!

Georgia: Do You Buy Into The Hype?

1. Matthew Stafford will have to become the super-star quarterback we have
expected him to be since he arrived in Athens from Texas. He wiil have to take control of
games when they are on the line. In those times, he cannot make costly mistakes
2. A leader will have to emerge from the defensive side of the ball. By that I
am referring to a big play guy like Scott Woerner or David Pollack. The guy
who is going to make the big play when you have to have it.
3. Consistent and reliable play from the special teams. A punt or kickoff returned
to "The House' will possibly be a key ingredient in some crucial game. Not
allowing either of those in a close game will be just as crucial.
4. Getting good bounces of the ball and avoiding "bad" calls that make or break
games. Call it good luck if you want, but you must have it in key situations
throughout the course of the season.
All of that sounds easy enough, doesn't it? Easy or not, I feel all must happen for the University of Georgia to win the SEC East, the SEC Championship and the National Championship. If we don't accomplish those things, those of you who think we are overrated just might be right.

Chipper Jones: 400 and Counting!

SEC Rundown: University of South Carolina

After staying home for the bowl season, there goals have to start with playing during the holidays. But doesn't that always seem to be the goal of the Gamecocks? Not much as changed.
And not much is going to change in 2008. They'll pull off their occasional upset like they do each year, but when it's all said and done they will be on the outside looking in. Same 'ole Carolina. The place where old coaches go to die.
