- Spring Practice - As you've probably already read, the big scrimmage on Friday was sort of all over the place. We're still struggling along the offensive line, yet we're making big plays. It's your basic spring freak show. I think some of the OL issues will sort themselves out when Clint Boling returns from his battle with Mono.
- Richt landed a safety for the 2009 signing class. It's the 6th commitment of the year. I have no idea how good the kid is, but we're so strapped with limited scholarship numbers this year (only 15 graduating seniors) that he must be good to get an offer this early.
- The Hottness - Some web site has ranked the schools with the hottest co-eds (click with a bit of caution). I don't get why they used such an overwhelmingly trashy photo of the Auburn girl. AU has its issues, but its Arizona State that has the porn star rep. Anyway...we'll get a chance to gauge the ASU level of human attractiveness on Sept. 20th of this year. My biggest issue with the ranking is South Carolina coming in at #6. As. If. I've been there 11 times, and there's no comparison between Cola's talent and Athens' finest. Also, any list that has Ole Miss at #5 was constructed by dudes that have never visited their campus.
- Clemson Recruits - The innerwebs have been abuzz after the photos of a kid who appears to be Clemson recruit Kenneth Page surfaced on MySpace. In the pics, he's holding a big wad of cash and the immediate assumption is that CU is back up to their old "Danny Ford 'Cruitin(TM)". The estimates on the cash stack put it at $5,000-$20,000. I'm of the opinion that positively nothing comes of this. First off, why would you assume that it's recruiting related? There's no NCAA Compliance Rule against having sketchy friends, riding dirty or being a dumbass. There are laws against some of those issues, but what's he going to do ... confess? Short of a confession or a wire transfer receipt accidentally handed to the NCAA, this is a non-event.
- Hunker Down You Hairy Horses - Apparently, we rode 'em hard. No insight into whether or not we put them up wet. UGA won the Southern Equestrian Championship over the weekend.
- Richt's Trip - Richt's upcoming trip to the Middle East is landing good press all over the place.
- Spring Games Gone Wild - I sent an email to the folks at Butts-Mehre asking "Why doesn't UGA have blow out spring games with big concerts and shenanigans like other schools are planning?" Well, it turns out those things might not be in NCAA Compliance. Bama has canceled the Alan Jackson concert that was tied to the A-Day game because of NCAA questions. Speaking of Spring Flings in the state of Alabama...Auburn picked an odd choice for their spring concert. Tuberville probably doesn't approve.

The "hottest co-eds" list was obviously done by a west coast-leaning website. I'm certainly not suggesting that USC or UCLA doesn't have hotties, but Arizona State is laughable at #1.
Remember Kirk Herbstreit's Herbie Awards last year?
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/preview07/news/story?id=2990155
He had us at #1 and Ole Miss at#2. He didn't have ANY west coast teams in his Top 10...and I would think he gets around the campus ladies far more often than some Hollywood news-based website.
Historical fun fact...
Sometimes these "lists" are done by people who have no clue what they are talking about.
Anybody remember Playboy's list of Top Party Schools in 1987?
Here it is:

Mercer University in Macon was listed at #9.
Yeah, right.
I don't know -- I mean, I've never been inside the state of Arizona before, but every "Girls of the Pac-10" issue I've ever seen indicates that Arizona State girls can bring it.
Nevertheless, when it comes to the SEC as a whole, I'll take the Pepsi challenge with the Pac-10 any day of the week.
Not to disparage the ladies of Athens, who I'm sure are gettin it done, but trust me...ASU is REALLY gettin it done. Ask the LSU folks who were out here a few years ago for the game moved by Katrina -- the talent at Arizona State takes a backseat to absolutely no-one.
Georgia Sports Blog,
You definitely need to come up with a list of your own. That other was a joke.
I have been to Tempe 5 times in the last 8 weeks for work. I have gone out a few time, (including fat Tuesday). I have to say that the porn star looking co-eds do exist but are few and far between. I thought most of the girls I saw were almost gothic looking and very "unkept" in comparison to SEC girls. Not that there arn't some bangin hot chicks but it's not like walking up and down Clayton street at night. I also scratch my head at Alabama's absence from that list. I would also but UNC up there.
