Football is thug-roman-a-cleffish: Pat White really, really likes him some Hov. His Heisman promo site features a ten-song playlist from his iPod, and seventy percent of it is Jay-Z. No selections from the Grey Album, a travesty we'll have to correct by sending him an email in his inbox, another feature of the site where you are free to ask him drooling questions about what it's like to be touched by Erin Andrews.

Football is technical and awesome. PROST! Brian's 2007 piece on zone stretch plays is just plain dead sexy geeky Nobellish. Reprint more exclusive content available only in primitive paper form for our pleasure immediately.

Georgia Tech under Paul Johnson will have to follow the hearty, bland consistency of the Chan Gailey era, and that's a difficult task given the ceiling for Tech in modern history has been the 8-5ish years of the O'Leary era. One thing Johnson may improve on immediately is recruiting, a weeping sadness during the Time of the Chancients when Tech only had Wake and Duke below them in recruiting rankings. SMQ, as usual, says everything you need to know on the topic period at all full stop in total.
