- Consolidated Pre-season rankings - SECSports.com looks at the early polls from Lindys, Athlons, Phil Steele, The Sporting News and Blue Ribbon magazine. They have Georgia tied for third. I think that's about where we'll start the year. Maybe 4th. We'll get our chances to impress voters. No worries there.
- Uga VII - He won't debut at Picture Day. They're going to hold off until Game 1. I like the move.
- Barnhart Interviews the Man of Steele - Tony talks with Phil Steele about the Georgia Bulldogs, and he looks at the pre-season rags. It's good to have Tony back from vacation.
- Vegas Baby! - The odds on a Georgia Bulldog National title are currently 8 to 1 per this site. That's down from 10 to 1 a few weeks ago. Florida at 5 to 1 is a very, very bad wager. If I were a cheese head strolling through Vegas, Wisconsin at 30 to 1 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to drop $20 on. Check out the Badger schedule some time. Very manageable.
- Urban Meyer's Recruiting - If pointing and staring aren't working, you could always lie and sneak. The Bleacher Report drops a heavy handed rumor mongering diatribe on Meyer. It's almost unreasonably harsh, but I did enjoy reading every word of it.
- Losing great beat writers - David Ching is leaving the UGA beat in Columbus to cover Auburn. It's part of a reorganization within his parent company. Unfortunately, Josh Kendall is also leaving the UGA beat. This will be the first year that I can remember that the AJC (Strickland left), Macon and Columbus papers were all breaking in new guys at once. Cross your fingers. It's an awfully big season to have a bunch of new guys running into each other over there.
