Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

OPEN THREAD: FIRST SHIFT

Sexy, can you? Georgia Tech and UGA on a muddy track gets us started on this most glorious of Saturdays. We apologize for the topless nudity, but in an attempt to be unbiased in the battle of Clean Old Fashioned Hate, we thought we'd give Georgia the lead image for the afternoon, you know, just to be fair. You're also not going to get sexually aroused for a week, either, meaning you can thank us for all the productive things you'll accomplish after seeing this image.

Besides, Clay Travis told me that all the students at UGA have fake breasts. Those look… uhhhh… natural to me.

Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso are utterly failing at talking about Notre Dame.

Also, this will be the first GaTech UGA game I’ll get to see in three years, and mercifully it’s one that we might actually win.

i love the clean old fashioned hate. of course living in atlanta i’ve grown to appreciate this matchup, and being a Florida fan, go GT. My hatred for UGA is nowhere near clean.

GTSteve was right, the Hive is going NUTS right now. From a purely objective standpoint, GT is not in that bad shape right now, since they get the ball first in the second half.

But UGA’s “patchwork” O-Line is manhandling their “vaunted” front four. So we’ll see,

objectivity ends

Southern takes a 7-0 lead on Grambling on what should have been an interception, but stands as a TD because the man won’t let black folks have instant replay. Also, Southern has a white kicker, proving that HBCU football isn’t that different from any other football.

The option offense will never be effective in a BCS conference. Also, nobody will ever win a national championship running the spread offense, and Tim Tebow is a gimmick that can’t pass the ball. And we never landed on the moon.

So, got to thinking today about SEC dominance today, and it occurred to me that they actually haven’t done all that well against the ACC. So I did the math, and as of the Clemson-USC game, it’s tied up 4-4 SEC vs. ACC for the season. Remaining games are

FLA FSU
Wake Vandy
Georgia (tech)

So, by the end of the day, we will be able to pick a winner. I’m not making any claims for ACC dominance, just that perhaps the SEC is
