TONY BARNHART’S SEC OVERVIEW
We love it when Tony Barnhart can stop half-heartedly reporting on SEC hoops and hunker down over his preferred turf of SEC football. Barnhart’s quick summary of the SEC can be seen here, and in it you can read about plenty of things you didn’t know about. For example, Kentucky has an impressive new quarterback, sophomore Andre Woodson, and an offensive lineman by the stellar name of Fatu Turituri. If you’d forgotten that UK had a football team, well, that would be learning something new for you, too.

P.S. Richt is 11-0 out of conference. We keep wanting to write something bad about the coach of a team whose fans are among the most obnoxious, thoughtless drivers on the planet, but the worst thing we can think to say about him is that his teams kick too many field goals.

Perhaps its the Georgia Tech and Georgia State drivers that are the bad ones and the Bulldog drivers are just victims too…. ever think of that?

Trivia Question:
When was the last time Georgia played a non-conference road game outside the geographic South?
Trivia Answer:
1965, at Michigan.
No wonder Richt is doing so well.

Hey, perfect is perfect, even if that run includes a few Northwestern States and is totally local. That podunk schedule also includes an annual meeting with Georgia Tech, as well as games with Clemson, Marshall, and UAB. Not national powers, but nothing to sneeze at either. If Richt had a decent bowl record, now that would be indicative of some real program strength…
Oh, yeah. He’s 3-1, including 3-0 since his first year.
And why should he play out of conference? You know what’s north of Athens, right? Knoxville. If you see that every other year, wouldn’t you avoid contact with the outside world, too?

LOL!
My point was that when you never have to take a road trip where:
a: you travel beyond your time zone
b: your fans can’t follow in droves
c: you don’t fly for more than an hour and a half
d: you are unfamiliar with the opposing stadium
e: the weather is different than what you are used to
–then it kind of makes any kind of bragging about playing out of conference mute….in other words, if GA won’t even play a home-and-home with UAB, when will they with anyone else? I can’t wait to see Boise kick their ass!

Boise may, HP; we highlighted this in our “10 games that make us jumpy” column on March 29. We love Dan Hawkins for all the right reasons: an unusual physique and a superb offensive scheme. Far as we’re concerned, the line on that game is even. Along with Texas at Ohio State, this truly is one of the premiere matchups of the first part of the season.
Great. Now we’re gonna have trouble sleeping due to excitement. Smedley! More brandy, chop chop!
