Mike Leach traveled with only 49 scholarship players, but those 49 put in one heck of an effort and took the Georgia Dawgs to the limit before the canines from Athens secured the victory. In this Covid confused season, it would have been easy for Coach Leach to use the SEC's 53 man roster limit requirement and call off the game. But State wanted to play, and you could see the effort on the field throughout the game, as they played one of their best games of the season with a depleted roster. The 31-24 final score was indicative of how competitive the Maroon Bulldogs were all night. Heavily favored Georgia came away with the hard fought victory, but Mississippi State walked out of Sanford Stadium having earned a ton of respect for itself.</span><p></p>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-4407459177634086692020-11-20T12:43:00.000-05:002020-11-20T12:43:59.032-05:00College Game Day at Augusta National<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2TCaJc6lDas/X7f9HqgTvEI/AAAAAAAAHc4/Y_s2QEKORfQBF_GJbvxb6u8EPx_7eWt6ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/masters%2Bhelmet%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1364" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2TCaJc6lDas/X7f9HqgTvEI/AAAAAAAAHc4/Y_s2QEKORfQBF_GJbvxb6u8EPx_7eWt6ACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/masters%2Bhelmet%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The 2020 Masters Tournament being played in November presented the perfect opportunity for College Game Day to host their show from the iconic Augusta National Golf Club. It was literally a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was also a great gesture on the part of ESPN to come up with a pair of cool Masters football helmets to highlight the front of the Game Day set. The helmets were an instant hit on social media, with golf/football fans wondering where a collector's item like the helmets could be purchased. So far, Riddell has produced a mini-helmet version, but they are already sold out!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VIDqHotwMLo/X7gAHDpjW5I/AAAAAAAAHdE/C5ZAKlpbJUUCvVGwc47j0uljrB4Gz3jtACLcBGAsYHQ/s1170/masters%2Bhelmet%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="1170" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VIDqHotwMLo/X7gAHDpjW5I/AAAAAAAAHdE/C5ZAKlpbJUUCvVGwc47j0uljrB4Gz3jtACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/masters%2Bhelmet%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></span><p></p>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-79942557663760605572020-11-20T12:17:00.000-05:002020-11-20T12:17:27.739-05:00Jake Scott: A Damn Good Dawg!<p><br /> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EU2sRzwvVOc/X7fzkQ0cAOI/AAAAAAAAHcs/GbLYJtm57xIxyWhtyzh3B_dmTTUWrLmmQCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/jake-scott-uga_psls57.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="324" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EU2sRzwvVOc/X7fzkQ0cAOI/AAAAAAAAHcs/GbLYJtm57xIxyWhtyzh3B_dmTTUWrLmmQCLcBGAsYHQ/w518-h640/jake-scott-uga_psls57.webp" width="518" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Jake Scott, former Georgia Bulldog All-American Safety and Punt Returner, has died at the age of 75. Scott led the Dawgs to the 1968 SEC Championship, which also featured an undefeated regular season of 8-0-2, as well as an invitation to the Sugar Bowl.<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;"> In both 1967 and 1968, he led the SEC in interceptions. Also in 1968, he led the conference in punt returns and punt return yardage. Scott still holds the SEC record for most interception returns for touchdowns in a single game with two against the Kentucky Wildcats in 1968. Scott of course, went on to a fantastic professional career with the Miami Dolphins, with saw him garner a Super Bowl MVP award, five consecutive Pro Bowls and three Super Bowls. However for me, I'll always remember him most as a tremendously gifted athlete wearing the Red and Black for the University of Georgia. Thanks for the thrills and the victories Number 13! God Speed Jacob E. Scott III.</span></span></span><p></p><p><br /></p>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-30410457263944471212020-11-16T11:09:00.000-05:002020-11-16T11:09:11.366-05:00Will Muschamp: Not a College Head Coach<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DFjGQ7xmAD0/X7Kdte7SfqI/AAAAAAAAHcU/Ww-9R6mha6cN5MVs6SG9CjL7dKvnXB8ZwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/MUSCHAMP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1540" data-original-width="2048" height="301" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DFjGQ7xmAD0/X7Kdte7SfqI/AAAAAAAAHcU/Ww-9R6mha6cN5MVs6SG9CjL7dKvnXB8ZwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h301/MUSCHAMP.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Will Muschamp was fired yesterday as head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks. In this, his fifth season leading the Carolina program, his record stands at 2-5. He is 28-30 for his tenure in Columbia. He was 28-21 at his previous stint as the head coach of the Florida Gators. Muschamp will take with him as he leaves the Carolina campus a hefty $13+ million buyout. His buyout upon leaving Florida was $6+ million, so this inept ex-head coach is being paid roughly $20 million not to coach. The Athletic Director's who agreed to these contract buyouts are equally inept, and both of them should have been kicked out of the door with Muschamp. Prior to his adventurous journey into the college head coaching world, Muschamp was the Defensive Coordinator at LSU, Texas and Auburn. With his defensive background, it's ironic that in his last game as a head coach, his Gamecock defense allowed a whopping 59 points to a struggling Ole Miss program. The experiment of trying to be a college head coach for Will Muschamp should be over at this point. He should be out of options in that role; he has proven he cannot handle that top position. He's a Defensive Coordinator. Period. Quit trying to put the square peg into the round hole.</span><p></p>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-83278594902391872772020-10-27T12:26:00.001-04:002020-10-27T12:26:50.809-04:00Sam Pittman: Top SEC Coach of the Year Candidate<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jxZI2dhSEAs/X5hD2S1pcKI/AAAAAAAAHcI/BFWCs6Txwh0YatDVztYVRLtDxZesHakZQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/HOGS%2BHELMET.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jxZI2dhSEAs/X5hD2S1pcKI/AAAAAAAAHcI/BFWCs6Txwh0YatDVztYVRLtDxZesHakZQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/HOGS%2BHELMET.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> The Arkansas Football Team's record at this point of the 2020 season is 2-2 (It should be 3-1 if the Auburn game had been officiated correctly). Going into this season, the Hogs schedule was thought by many to be the toughest schedule in all of college football. They were riding a 20 game SEC losing streak, and were believed to be a sure bet to top Vanderbilt's record streak of 23 straight conference defeats. Sam Pittman's Razorbacks have put that talk to rest, much to the dismay of the Commodores, by defeating Mississippi State in the second game of the season. Since then, Arkansas has added a win over Ole Miss and first year head coach Lane Kiffin. Pittman has put together a great coaching staff at Arkansas, he has the players buying in to his system, and they are going into every game believing they have a chance to win. The Hogs have a challenging closing stretch of six consecutive tough SEC opponents, the last of which is Alabama. Regardless of the outcome of these individual contests, Sam Pittman has already earned the consideration of being selected as the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year. If he does indeed garner that award, he will be viewed by the entire conference as tremendously deserving. One would be hard pressed to find a dissenter in the group regarding the likable Sam Pittman.

Auburn University has a 3-2 record at the half-way point of the SEC season. However, those 3 wins have been aided by critical officiating calls/no-calls by the inept SEC football officials. In their opening game against Kentucky, the Wildcats were not rewarded for a touchdown that they should have been credited for. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">This touchdown that wasn’t called a touchdown in the final seconds of the first half might have been the difference-maker in</span><a href="https://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-football/article246014210.html" rel="Follow" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; outline: none; text-decoration: var(--lhd,--var(ld));" target="_blank"> Kentucky’s 29-13 loss to the Tigers. </a>In Auburn's second win against Arkansas, </span><span style="color: #0c0f14; letter-spacing: -0.33px;"><span style="font-size: large;">the Razorbacks owned a 28-27 lead late in the fourth quarter. The Tigers had worked their way into field goal range. The controversy came on a 3rd-and-1, when Auburn QB Bo Nix fumbled the snap, then spiked it into the turf in an attempt to stop the clock. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0c0f14;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.33px;">However, Nix spiked the ball backwards and Arkansas fell on it, which should’ve been ruled a fumble. Instead, the officials ruled that the play was an incomplete pass with intentional grounding because ball didn’t reach the line of scrimmage. Auburn then kicked a game winning field goal with seven seconds left on the clock, denying Arkansas the chance to run out the clock and collect the win. Lastly, this past Saturday against Ole Miss, the Rebels recovered a ball in the end zone on a kickoff that the Tiger return man actually touched. But the officials on the field, as well as the replay </span></span></span><span style="color: #0c0f14; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.33px;">officials, ruled that the ball was not touched by Auburn, thus denying Ole Miss the touchdown and awarding the ball to Auburn on the ruled touchback. The Tigers went on to win the game by a final score of 35-28. Auburn might have gone on to win the game against Kentucky in the second half even if Kentucky had been awarded the first half touchdown. We'll never know. Arkansas would definitely half defeated the Tigers with the correct ruling, and Ole Miss probably would have won the game Saturday if awarded the touchdown with the recovered ball in the end zone. With all of this in mind, I think it is realistic to infer that Auburn's record at this point should be 1-4 <b>at best</b>. Woulda, shoulda, coulda!</span></span></span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-23955870377458582462020-10-19T14:52:00.000-04:002020-10-19T14:52:56.839-04:00Marcell Ozuna: His Blunder Flipped the Entire NLCS<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ovcb7in0Prw/X43Z3ISFWZI/AAAAAAAAHbg/Jm75_-W1q_sMTHYHLxKwidksbOM-RHMkACLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/marcell-ozuna-1400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ovcb7in0Prw/X43Z3ISFWZI/AAAAAAAAHbg/Jm75_-W1q_sMTHYHLxKwidksbOM-RHMkACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/marcell-ozuna-1400.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">Marcell Ozuna's base running blunder in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series took away the momentum that his Atlanta Braves had built and flipped it into the dugout of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves had runners on second and third with one out in the bottom of the third, leading the Dodgers 2-0. Dansby Swanson lined a sinking fly ball to right field that Mookie Betts made a shoestring catch on. Ozuna went back to the bag to tag up but left early. Although he was called safe at the plate, review overturned to call and took the run off the books. The Braves failed to add to their two run lead. The first batter for Los Angeles in the top of the fourth, Corey Seager, hit a homerun to cut the lead in half. But with the base running blunder it was like a two run swing for the Dodgers. They were sky high and went on to win the game. Although the Braves still led the series 3-2, the damage was done. The Dodgers went on to win the next two games and advanced to the World Series. Ozuna's bone-headed play changed the complexion for the remainder of the series. His mistake is a huge reason the Braves are going home and the Dodgers are playing in another World Series. </span><p></p>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-18549012966768436672019-12-02T15:31:00.000-05:002019-12-02T15:31:10.919-05:00Ole Miss and The Piss Boy...Sad, Sad, Sad<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing like a little urination in public, be it real or staged. It really took some real class to pull off that <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/29/us/ole-miss-dog-loss-trnd/index.html" target="_blank">stunt</a> Elijah Moore. Not only did you cost your team a shot at a win versus your hated rival, you probably played a hand in getting your head coach fired from his job three days later. Not to mention the fact that no one will remember you for catching the touchdown pass at the end of a thrilling comeback drive down the field, because they will forever know you as the Ole Miss player who let his team, coaches, school and fan base down by literally pissing away a legitimate chance at victory. And you will always be associated with the naming of the game: "The Piss and Miss"! But I guess you now have a cemented legacy at Ole Miss. Hotty Toddy Mr. Moore. The last time I checked, there is no "I" in TEAM.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At the Ohio State <a href="https://dawnofthedawg.com/2018/08/23/urban-meyer-decision-symbol-sickening-culture/" target="_blank">press conference</a> regarding the status of head football coach Urban Meyer, the head of the investigative team, Mary Jo White, stated that Meyer did not "<a href="https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/ohio-state-urban-meyer-wrapped-around-finger/" target="_blank">deliberately lie</a>". That term stood out to me above all the other colossal moments during that fiasco. A lie is the direct opposite of the truth, so if one chooses not to use the truth, isn't the lie automatically deliberate? However, in the end none of that matters in the least. When a coach returns a renowned program back to its glory days of winning football, he has a solid lock on his job. Urban Meyer owns Ohio State University. He holds the keys now. He knows he is untouchable by anyone at the administrative level above him. He doesn't have to ever be concerned by the actions, or lack thereof, of his despicable <a href="https://blutarsky.wordpress.com/2018/08/23/im-sorry-we-are-in-this-situation/" target="_blank">character</a>. He can "look the other way" as much as he wants to now. His attention only has to be focused on winning football games, because a failure to do that is the ONLY thing that can put his job in jeopardy.</span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-30310658529606791612018-08-16T15:41:00.003-04:002018-08-16T15:41:49.252-04:00Ronald Acuna is OK, but Jose Urena is Everything But OK<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Ronald Acuna, Jr. was hit by the first pitch of Wednesday night's Braves-Marlins game. The pitch was thrown by Miami's Jose Urena, and it was thrown intentionally at Acuna. The 20 year old Brave has been the hottest and most electrifying player in the Major Leagues for the past two weeks. He has led off the past three games with a home run, has homered in five straight games, and has hit eight home runs in the past eight games. Evidently, Urena's way of pitching Acuna differently meant throwing at him with the very first pitch in the bottom half of the first inning. The pitch, which resulted in both benches clearing twice, was the fastest first-pitch of Urena's career. The act of throwing at Acuna with the first pitch was gutless, cheap, bush league, and unprofessional, even in a sport where brushing a hitter back off the plate has always been a part of the game. Going after a player with intent simply because he has been wearing your team's pitching out is not a part of baseball. Here's hoping Major League Baseball comes down heavy and hard on Jose Urena, both in fines and suspended starts.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Georgia is already in the 2017 SEC Championship Game. Their opposition for the title is yet to be determined. It will be, of course, either Alabama or Auburn. The Tide or the Tigers. If you are a UGA fan, who do you want to face on December 2nd? The Dawgs are just coming off of that devastating domination by Auburn last Saturday, and they have Kentucky and Georgia Tech remaining on the 2017 schedule. The two Alabama schools don't meet until November 25th, both having out-of-conference and easy opposition this Saturday. The pros and cons regarding the two possible match-ups are endless. Would Georgia want to face the same team that decimated them only two weeks earlier, or take on a 'Bama squad battling some key injuries and not playing up to Alabama standards at the present time? Some fans believe that Auburn could not play that good twice against the Dawgs, and conversely that Georgia couldn't play that bad again. Not to mention the fact that Auburn would be without that tremendous home field advantage at Jordan-Hare Stadium. There is also the opinion that Alabama's Nick Saban knows Georgia's Kirby Smart far too well after working with him all of those years, which would make it tough on the Dawgs to overcome the Tide. Thus, would Saban always be one step ahead of Smart? However, there is also the feeling that Alabama is the King of the SEC and a team needs to defeat them, not Auburn, to be truly considered the champion (Like Rick Flair said: "To be the man, you gotta beat the man"). After all, Alabama is still Alabama. The prevailing opinion of many Dawg fans is that there is an extreme hatred of Auburn, where there is only a strong dislike of Alabama. Therefore, it would be much more satisfying, not to mention redemptive, to defeat the Tigers when all the marbles are on the table. I, for what it's worth, want to see Georgia play Auburn on a neutral site field. I think the artificial turf at Mercedes Benz Stadium plays into Georgia's strength of team speed. It's really going to be fun seeing Mecole Hardman loose on that surface! If the offensive and defensive lines of the Dawgs can play at least a little better against Auburn a second time around, the result could be different. Also, Auburn coming off a victory in the Iron Bowl, and having already handled us easily, could enter the SEC Championship a little too sure of themselves. Not to mention UGA would have to go into that game as the underdog, and I like the way that would play into the psych of the game. Regardless of which team the Dawgs end up facing, it sure is good to see Georgia back in Atlanta in the Championship game again. It has been far too long since we were there, and here's hoping we become a fixture in this game for years to come.</span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-34391692849934222162017-10-27T11:50:00.000-04:002017-10-27T11:50:05.147-04:00Georgia's White Road Jerseys: They Have Served the Dawgs Well in Jacksonville<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">In spite of an effort from "the powers that be" to have both Georgia and Florida wear their respective home jerseys, Georgia has elected to wear their white jerseys this year in Jacksonville. 2017 is in fact Florida's year to be the home team.The last year Georgia wore white jerseys was 2013. They were the visiting team that year and defeated Florida 23-20, just as they were in 2011 when a Dawg's win in white tops jump-started a three-year win streak for UGA.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In 2009, the student governments of the University of Georgia and the University of Florida created the Oar which is presented to the winning university's student body president. No formal post-game presentation is made on the field after the game.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Oar was carved from a 1,000 year old cypress tree that once grew in the Okefenokee Swamp, which straddles the Georgia-Florida border. The Oar is 10 feet in length, and has the logos of each college on opposite sides.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It goes without saying that the Oar has resided below the Georgia border for the past 3 years. You know, "to the victor belong the spoils", and all that stuff. Now the cypress trophy has a good chance to come back to the University of Georgia campus...and stay there for many consecutive years. Just where it belongs, and then "the universe will be unfolding as it should" (Desiderata).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's Georgia-Florida week so a great flashback of this series would be to recall Bill Stanfill's great game against the Gators in 1966. Stanfill sacked eventual Heisman Trophy winner Steve Spurrier twice, and hammered him after passes often that day in the Dawgs 27-10 victory in Jacksonville. The sophomore from Cairo,Georgia helped the Bulldogs deny Florida their first ever SEC Championship, and that was after the Gators led 10-3 at half. It is this game in particular that many Georgia fans believe led to Spurrier's tremendous hatred of the Bulldogs during his coaching career.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-margin-after: 1em; -webkit-margin-before: 1em; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 11px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The irony of all of Stanfill's heroics that day was that he was not even expected to play. He suffered a neck injury during practice that week, but still traveled with the team to Jacksonville. The story goes that Coach Vince Dooley and the team doctor paid a visit to his hotel room the night before the game, where the doctor administered a cortisone injection to his neck. Saturday morning the neck was fine, but Spurrier's pains were just about to begin.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-margin-after: 1em; -webkit-margin-before: 1em; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 11px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 1968 Georgia-Florida game Stanfill again had another superlative effort as the Dawgs smashed the Gators 51-0. That Saturday he even finished the game as Georgia's quarterback on the last series of the lopsided victory. Bill Stanfill, always and forever, </span><span style="font-size: large;">a Damn Good Dawg!</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "cambria" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After attending the GSU/Troy State game this past Saturday, I came away with the following observations: State has done a great job with Turner Field, thus far. There is still much to be done to completely transform this venue into a really top tier football facility. The concourse where everyone enters is a bit drab. It needs GSU football murals and more GSU blue throughout that area. Adding those, as well as a few more touches, would liven up that area and give fans a better "first impression". The end zone seating at the old home plate end of the field should be closed until GSU needs those seats for capacity. The sight lines there are terrible, and bringing the home crowd all behind the home team would increase the noise level for the Panthers, giving them more of a home field advantage and the appearance of a larger crowd. Once you leave the concourse area, the concessions are few and far between, and putting more behind the home crowd would be a big plus. The concourses are big and open which is nice and should afford sufficient space for those additional concessions. The people in charge of game day should visit more venues and adapt other ways to enhance the game day experience at <a href="http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/259152266/georgia-state-football-stadium-turner-field" target="_blank">Georgia State Stadium</a>. The scoreboard/video screen is really nice, but one does grow weary of seeing the same spirit videos all game long. I realize this was only the second home game, so I am sure there is much trial and error going on. The future plans for the football and baseball facilities on site sound exciting. I would say GSU is on the right track with still much work to be done. Good luck and go Panthers!</span></span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-69279424345438843362017-10-23T13:56:00.000-04:002017-10-23T13:56:02.713-04:00Paul Finebaum: He's all Ears!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Only in America could a guy like Paul Finebaum make millions of dollars by merely giving his opinion regarding college athletics. He's vain, he's arrogant, he's opinionated, he's pompous, he's haughty, and he's condescending. Did I miss anything? However, because of all of these outstanding traits, he's also very <a href="http://bijog.com/biography/paul-finebaum" target="_blank">rich</a>. But take a look at those ears! Ears that some elephants only dream of. But I guess if you get stuck in life with those monstrosities, you should at least get to make some big bucks!

<span style="font-size: large;">I guess it really is time for Butch Jones to be ousted at Tennessee. Not only has his team failed miserably on the field, but as depicted above, he has apparently lost all control of his players as well. What an image for the University of Tennessee Rashaan Gaulden depicts. Although Gaulden later <a href="http://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/football/2017/10/21/rashaan-gaulden-celebrates-first-vols-td-nearly-month-giving-alabama-fans-middle-finger/787815001/" target="_blank">apologized</a> for his actions, the damage was already done.

<span style="font-size: large;">Jake Olson has been blind since he was <a href="http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/09/05/pete-carroll-couldnt-stop-crying-after-watching-blind-usc-long-snapper-play-in-game/" target="_blank">12 years old</a>, but Saturday he opened all of our eyes. In a game between his USC Trojans and Western Michigan, Olson took the field with his special team comrades and <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/9/3/16250250/jake-olson-usc-snap-wmu" target="_blank">long-snapped</a> for the PAT. The snap, as well as the kick, were both successful. Of all the great college football games that were played over the Labor Day weekend, along with all the great individual performances, Jake Olson's college football debut had to be the most inspiring story of all!</span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-55705314630695286642017-08-08T15:49:00.003-04:002017-08-16T09:15:16.818-04:00Number 13 at Augusta National: Just a Little Bit Longer...?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Augusta National has recently purchased land from neighboring Augusta Country Club that will apparently allow the famous par 5 13th to be lengthened by backing up the tee box. The once daunting spectacle hole has been conquered by new golfing technology in the form of metal drivers and new golf balls. So much so that this year's Masters saw the iconic 13th play as the <a href="http://furtherreview.blog.myajc.com/2017/08/08/a-new-masters-look-imminent-this-time-at-iconic-no-13/" target="_blank">easiest hole</a> on the course during the four day tournament. It will be interesting to see how many yards will be added by the new design, and how differently the hole will play. Perhaps the new changes will add more of the risk/reward virtues the 13th was always noted for in the past.</span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-80904871958182773632017-08-07T15:12:00.000-04:002017-08-07T15:12:05.875-04:00North Carolina Pops With "Jumpman" Practice Helmet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">As we all know, Hugh Freeze is out as the Ole Miss head football coach. The guy that is in is former assistant coach Matt Luke. Luke is an <a href="http://www.coachingsearch.com/article?a=Six-quotes-from-Matt-Lukes-introduction-as-Ole-Miss-interim-head-coach" target="_blank">Ole Miss guy</a> who will lead the Rebels on an interim basis, at least for now. There is nothing coming out of the Ole Miss administration concerning a search for a new 'permanent' head coach, nor will there be any time soon. The school faces possible severe sanctions from an ongoing NCAA investigation, which could include further bowl game restrictions and scholarship reductions. With all of this on the table at Ole Miss, the <a href="https://blutarsky.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/about-the-ole-miss-opening/" target="_blank">next man</a> up at the university will automatically come in to a program with some real handicaps. The cupboard at Mississippi will not be bare, but it won't be stocked to the hilt either as recruiting will most certainly take a direct hit as a result of all the uncertainties surrounding the program. Stay tuned,there seems to be a lot more coming out of Oxford, Mississippi. Just not the hiring of a new 'permanent' head coach. The 'Freeze" out continues...</span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-32668418578202214002017-07-18T12:00:00.000-04:002017-07-18T12:00:33.560-04:00Hugh Freeze: Integrity Driven or Incredulous Individual?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">At last count, the NCAA allegations against Ole Miss had grown to a gigantic 21 charges. At last count, Head Coach Hugh Freeze had used the word integrity in referring to himself and his program about 2,100 times. And why wouldn't he? His University has stood by him thick and thin. Freeze and Ole Miss seem undaunted by all of these serious charges. The Head Coach himself is looking down the barrel of a coach's most serious allegation, the dreaded "Failure to Monitor". If upheld, this alone could cause Freeze to lose his job.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If other allegations are upheld, the Ole Miss football program could face sanction, above sanction, above sanction. If all of this smoke turns into fire, it will be time to get the horses out of the barn in Oxford. And if all of this devastation falls upon this university, won't people wonder even more why the administration continued to support Hugh Freeze? Perhaps the answer is because his teams defeated mighty Alabama two times in the past three seasons. It probably won't even matter to Ole Miss that Freeze would be proven guilty of cheating in order to do that. So much for integrity.</span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024118335172993553.post-10141978131477576972016-08-11T16:50:00.001-04:002016-08-11T16:50:55.639-04:00The Graduate Transfer Rules: They Need to Change<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When a college student/athlete completes his degree early and still has college eligibility left, that athlete should be allowed to play out his eligibility at any institution he wants to. In essence, that athlete becomes a free agent in the college arena. There should be no stipulations placed on graduate transfers, other than his ability to qualify for admission like any other student. His ability to transfer to another school should not be left up to the discretion of a coach, athletic director, school president or member conference. He has earned that right to transfer by his academic accomplishments in graduating early. The fact that he has earned and received his degree sets him apart from an under-graduate athlete, and should give him the opportunity to finish his career at any college in the country.</span>Sports Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07332278151021365199noreply@blogger.com0
