October 2011

Ah, what a weekend in college football. I just love to smell of upsets in the morning! If you didn't catch it, the shape of college football was changed this weekend with the losses of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The losses of those undefeated are big for the likes of LSU/Alabama, Boise State, Stanford, and Clemson. However, we all know how long this season is. Heck, just a few weeks ago, Georgia Tech was 6-0 and #12 in the country, and the Dawgs were unranked. As of today? Well, the rankings talk for themselves...

Last week, a few sites published a new clip from the movie, 1980 Dawgs - The Inside Story of The National Championship Season, which tells the story of the 1980 Georgia football team that went on to go undefeated and win the National Championship with a win over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. The movie, which is getting great reviews from many Georgia fans, was just released last week, and can be ordered through their web site, 1980dawgs.com.

Ah... I just love bye week Saturdays. Just a little work in the mornings, listening/watching College Gameday, and a full day of stress free college football. 'Tis the life!

Since Georgia is off this weekend, I thought it might be a good chance to throw my picks and upsets out there - just to see if they stick.

12:00pm -  4. Oklahoma State (-7.5) at Missouri 

This is a game that many people are thinking is a fall game for the 'Pokes. I don't think so. Oklahoma State has been living on the edge, but I don't see them tripping up this weekend.

The economy is in the crapper, the state of Georgia just released that unemployment has risen, and there seems to be an "Occupy:____" in every American city because of the downfall of the economy. However, at the Butts-Mehre building, Georgia received some pretty good news - well, if they were thinking about selling off the football program.
