Golson in the mix at UGA?

Interesting...

Everett Golson certainly brings some experience to the table, but the article notes his spotty academic record. What it didn't talk about was his game performances, which went from pretty good to down right horrifying (for a more expansive treatment, see his game against Arizona State, where I'm pretty sure he just turned the ball over again).

Still, I can see him transferring. Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly didn't exactly mince words about his play during the season. Even if he's the starter this fall, which it appears he would be, he may have to have a spectacular season to keep from getting the hook at any given time.

I guess South Carolina makes more sense because they have a younger QB stepping in to the starting role. The upside for UGA is that there is a new offensive coordinator, and less guess work about what our offense will be like, considering our RB situation.

Though after playing for Kelly, I'd have to say playing for Richt over Spurrier would be a nice change, too.

Notre Damn

This isn't a good look....

Notre Dame administrative officials are investigating instances of potential academic fraud on campus that could include several members of the Fighting Irish football team, sources have told Yahoo Sports.
Sources said four members of the football team were interviewed by school officials Friday: receiver DaVaris Daniels, defensive back KeiVarae Russell, defensive lineman Ishaq Williams and linebacker Kendall Moore. The probe also is looking at non-athletes, sources said.

This has no connection to the honor code violation issues that kept starting QB Everett Golson sidelined last year. Call them UNC-North?

Those four players, three of them starters, have been dismissed from school, which is great news for Auburn fans.

It's official: Georgia to play Notre Dame in 2017, 2019

This is beautiful. Just beautiful.

I think this means two things:

1. The SEC won't be going to nine games before the end of the current SEC scheduling cycle.
2. McGarity isn't afraid to look outside of traditional matchups for OOC games.

There was also a rumor of a third game to be played at an off campus site not in Indiana or Atlanta. I guess you could call Chicago part of that, too. New York/Boston would be nearly a home game for the Irish, as would Dublin (Ireland, not Laurens County), but you can bet your sweet ass I'd go to Ireland for that.

Better tell South Bend to stock up on bourbon. And remind them bourbon ain't that Canadian crap.
