What They're Saying

Rather than bore you with my own thoughts on the weekend's games, maybe we'll all be better served if we try something a little different this week. Here's a quick look at what's going on around the college football world on this first day of what we call Championship Week.

In the aftermath of Georgia's thrilling 15-12 victory over the Yellow Jackets Saturday night, Reggie Ball is receiving more than his fair share of praise and blame for the outcome.

Doug Gillett says it much better than I ever could:

"For now, it's time to stand up and remind Tech Nation: Even at your best point in maybe the past decade, you still couldn't beat us. This is why we're Georgia and you're Georgia Tech. Go home and tell your children, so that they can be saved from the same kind of disappointment."

Mike Bobo called the plays on Saturday. No wonder Georgia was still running the ball in the fourth quarter.

The coaching carousel is picking up speed: Mike Shula is finished, Cincinnati's Dantonio is in at Michigan State, while Chuck's chest is completely deflated and the victim of a true mutiny, Dirk Koetter, is done as well.

And Tony Barnhart says that it's Georgia and Virginia Tech in the Chik-Fil-A.

That's all we've got for now.

Anyone thinking about heading to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl? I would like to go, but I think that the ticket system is just going to fuck us over again.

I'd probably try to get a ticket, since I think I'm coming back up for the basketball game against Wisconsin on the 31st anyway.
