Mississippi State comes to town tomorrow and will be looking for another shot in the arm with a win over Georgia - just like last year. In opposite seasons, MSU took the surprising win over Georgia in Starkville and never looked back. Under Dan Mullen, MSU went on to a nine-win season... and Georgia? They went on to their first losing season under Coach Mark Richt.

Sometimes things get lost in the whirl wind of college football. We love the passion, the padgentry, and the drama. We get so caught up in arguing our point - whether it is our coaching staff, the players, the scheme, the uniforms, expansion, conference supremacy, the NCAA, the BCS, and so on and so on... that we forget about some of the more important things in life.

Today is Larry Munson's 89th birthday, and I just wanted to show tribute to one of the greatest announcers ever. I was very honored to have met Larry one day walking down Lumpkin Street. We were playing UAB that day, and, of course, in true Larry fashion, when I asked how we should fair against them, he responded, "Oh, I don't know. This team scares the hell out of me. That quarterback, you know, can just do anything..."

Week 4 in the SEC gave us some great SEC and out of conference matches. LSU has clearly established itself as the class of the SEC, but Alabama is right behind them (as in centimeters behind them). This week will give us more of an idea as we get UGA vs. MSU, Auburn vs. USC, and, of course, Bama vs. Florida. 

This is how we feel like the SEC ranks after 4 weeks of play:
