UFO Sighting in Nashville, Tennessee of Red Glowing orbs, June 6, 2011 photos.

Date of sighting: June 6, 2011
Location of sighting: Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Eyewitness states:

I took this photo at the corner of Riverside Dr. and Eastland Ave. in Nashville, TN at 2144 CST on 5 June 2011 with my HTC Thunderbolt Phone camera. There was a large triangular form with lights at each point. It appeared to be massive, over a football field in size. It also appeared to be over the river or close to it. It gained altitude while rotating clockwise and the "faded out" while heading NW. The rear lights faded before the front one.

My wife and I were driving home from visiting my parents who are flying to CA in the morning. On our return home we were heading West on Eastland Ave., up a slight hill. My wife points to the left over some trees and I can see something, it turned out to be these three lights. We stopped at the stop sign at the top of the hill and I got out my phone. I notice a car coming behind me, so I turned right and pulled immediately to the shoulder of the road. I got out and noticed that the car behind me stopped and got out too. As I took the photo I realized that at least 7 cars had stopped and were watching. It lasted about 3 minutes from when we first spotted it. I took a quick video as well. After it faded everyone was just in shock and got it their cars and left. We talked to the guys who pulled up behind us, and I showed him the photo I took. We high-fived and left. It was certainly disturbing and everyone was in disbelief.

UFO Sighting in Tornado hit area of Georgia on Cherokee Vally Road, April 28 Video.



Date of sighting: April 28, 2011
Location of sighting: Cherokee Valley Road, Ringgold, Georgia (near Tennessee boarder)



In this video the person was filming as they moved along Cherokee road filming the destruction the tornados left behind. As the person is filming a disk like image appears for a few moments. This disk looks mostly transparent but its outlines are easy to make out.

This is a great video and the person only caught it after looking back at it later and putting it in slow motion. UFOs often move at high speeds to lower the risk of human eyes seeing them, not to mention that they are usually cloaked to prevent detection.

Georgia Bulldogs: 2012 DL Prospect Jordan Watkins

The Georgia coaching staff hasn't been resting on their laurels since landing one of the top recruiting classes in the country this season, they are fully focused on keeping that trend going for 2012, and Jordan Watkins is the latest defensive prospect to get a nod from Mark Richt and Co.

Watkins is 6'5", 260, and is an absolute beast off the line. He has a great nose for the ball and moves well for his size. He's likely not done developing yet, but he's certainly capable of playing at either  defensive end or defensive tackle at the next level.

Said Watkins about the offer from the Bulldogs, "An offer from Georgia gives me three things as far as my family is concerned. I can stay close to home, which my mom would probably be happiest about with all of this. It is a great place to play football, and it is a great place to go to school for four years" (Kipp Adams, Rivals.com). 

If Georgia can put together a winning record this year, and make it back to a respectable bowl, you have to like their chance to stay in the hunt for Watkins. 

You can find out more about Georgia's latest target here ($$$) if you are a subscriber, but one look at his video and it's clear the kid has the potential to be a monster:




Watkins touts 29 offers as of today, which includes several other SEC schools—Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama among them.

He totaled 61 tackles (13 tfl) and 6 sacks as a junior.

Ameer Abdullah Doesn't Have Nice Things To Say About Tennessee

Do you know who Ameer Abdullah is? He wasn't on the national radar during the recruiting season, but he did sign with a major Division I school—the Nebraska Cornhuskers—on signing day.

He received a nice slew of offers, including several from SEC schools, but it's his comments about his visit to Tennessee that will likely raise a few eyebrows—especially given the more positive, toned down, atmosphere perceived to be in place under coach Dooley.

Check out the question, and corresponding answer, given by Abdullah during an interview by Rivals.com writer, Mike Matya:

What was the worst moment during the recruiting process?

"Probably when I visited Tennessee. The guys down there… I really didn't want to surround myself with."

Ouch! What's up with that?

You have to admit that was a curious statement to make about a school with a first-class guy as it's head coach.

I'd be interested to know how Abdullah spent his time in Knoxville and with whom, exactly, he spent it.

Ironically, Abdullah's best moment in the recruiting process came courtesy of Tennessee's eastern division rival, Georgia. Abdullah witnessed former star receiver, A.J. Green, in action during his visit to Auburn:

What was your favorite moment during the recruiting process?

"Probably when I visited Auburn and they played Georgia. I saw A.J. Green in action and he caught 211 (yards) on them. That game and seeing him play was the highlight for me."

(sigh)...A.J. did have that effect on people, didn't he? But, I digress.

Honestly, Abdullah's pronouncement should come as a surprise to the Knoxville contingent as it was only a handful of months ago that he was singing a much different tune following an official visit in November.

Said Abdullah, at that time, "I didn’t know much about Tennessee. I learned they have a very huge fan base no matter how the season is going. I met with Tauren Poole, he’s a real cool guy and he was my host. I really like Tennessee."

Uh-huh, just another example of how the recruiting game can be a kick in the head.

Georgia Bulldogs: Richt's 'Dream Team' Takes A Direct Hit

When four-star DE, Xzavier Dickson, spurned the Georgia Bulldogs in favor of the Crimson Tide, panic attacks broke out across the state as Bulldog fans began picturing a 2011 class minus all of it's dream prospects.

Recruiting pundits, beat writers, and casual observers—read non-supporters—began readying fans and followers alike for the probability that this one decision, by this one kid, was the one domino needed to start the downward spiral of the football program, led by Mark Richt, at UGA.

The message was today it's Xzavier Dickson and Quan Bray, tomorrow it will be Ray Drew and Isaiah Crowell. Either way, Georgia's goose was already cooked for 2011, and beyond, as the likes of Tennessee, South Carolina, Auburn, Alabama, and Florida would begin snatching the state's best away from the home team—setting football in Athens back for the next decade.

Well, forgive me for saying so, but why should this one kid's decision be any more important than that of Jay Rome, Isaiah Crowell, or Damian Swann? Dickson would have been a great get and it would have been lovely to see him filling out the depth chart at Georgia, but the fact that he won't be suiting up for Todd Grantham shouldn't mean the football program is done.

In fact, according to the Rivals100, Georgia already has the best defensive end in the state—Sterling Bailey. Last check, Dickson didn't even make that list—just saying.

Furthermore, the very notion that Quan Bray, the other supposed prospect that kicked Georgia to the curb last night, was ever solid to the Bulldogs is erroneous. Bray was, largely, felt to be an Auburn lean.

Georgia made a play for him and they lost. It's that simple.

He didn't spurn the Bulldogs, he went with his initial choice—which was ALWAYS going to be Auburn.

Should Georgia be locking down the state? Yes, but it's foolish to expect they will sign every four- and five-star player that comes through the door. Big time prospects have the option of going wherever they like. They know it and many of them will take the opportunity to spread their wings—at other schools.

Georgia cannot get them all.

That said, they still have to nail a high percentage of the best this state has to offer and, so far, they've locked down seven four-star guys for this class. That's as many as LSU and Auburn, and more than South Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

If they can close out strong by snagging Damian Swann, Isaiah Crowell, Jay Rome, and—maybe—Ray Drew, this is still going to be one of the best classes in the SEC.

Georgia still has plenty of fish in the sea, they just need to close strong.

CFB Rumors: Gus Malzahn Still Mulling Over Vanderbilt Job—Seriously?

Announcer: Hey Gus, your team just won the SEC Championship, your quarterback is a Heisman Trophy Winner, your team is 13-0, and on their way to Arizona to play in the National Championship Game...what are you going to do now. 

Gus: I'm going to Tennessee?

Announcer: Huh?...What did you say?

Gus: I'm going to become the next head coach at Vanderbilt!

*record scratches*

Okay, enough with the jokes. Seriously, folks, if Gus Malzahn's best offer is a head coaching job at Vanderbilt, then he should hold out for something better.

This is in no way meant to offend the fine alumni of Vanderbilt University, but, your football team is awful. They've been awful for a long time and, due to the academic restraints placed on them via entry requirements, that isn't likely to change anytime soon.

That said, why on earth would Gus Malzahn take his offense, and his recruiting wares to a program that has become a perennial doormat in the SEC (13-67 over the last 10 years)? Does he feel that his stock is as high as it can possibly get at the moment?

After all, Auburn averaged better than 40 points per game this season using Malzahn's scheme—with the right personnel. However, he's not likely to get the same result at Vanderbilt as he will be competing with Tennessee for the state's best players and could find it difficult to pitch a perennial loser to a guy who wants to build an NFL resume.

On the other hand, if he wants a challenge, then Vanderbilt would definitely be the place to go. Since joining the SEC in 1933, the Commodores are 102-351-15—not including their dismal 2010 record. Have at it, Gus. If Dan Mullen can do it, why can't you?

Quite honestly, though, he's better off staying where he is and seeing how things shake out after 2011. More job openings, with a much higher profile, are likely to become available at that time and, if Auburn manages to stay relevant without Cam Newton (many feel the Heisman winner will bolt for the NFL this season), then he will have proven that he's not a one-trick pony.

That alone would pay dividends.

Hold out for something better, Gus. Vandy definitely isn't Disneyland.

College Football ATS Picks: Can Nevada Stop Boise State's Winning Streak?

The Lady fared a bit better last week—thank goodness—going 10-5 on the day and moving the overall record to 66-69. The drive towards a strong finish ends with this week's slate, so let's not waste any more time.

Most lines are courtesy of VegasInsider.com (the Auburn/Alabama line is from Vegas.com since VegasInsider.com had no line as of late Thursday evening) and are current as of Thanksgiving Day.

1. West Virginia at Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh (-3)

This game is hard to predict, honestly, because both teams have shown they can be either really good or dreadfully bad. That said, the home field advantage has to be the difference here.

The Lady's Pick: Pittsburgh to cover.

2. Louisville at Rutgers: Louisville (-3)

Both teams enter this game with a losing streak and only one of them will have a bowl bid to gain by winning.

The Lady's Pick: Louisville to cover.

3. Auburn at Alabama: Alabama (-4.5)

Auburn is good, there is no way around that fact, and no team has had an answer for Cam Newton this season. As good as the Alabama defense has shown it can be this year, it seems unlikely that they have enough left in the tank to face another team coming off a bye week with a ton of momentum and an eye towards the brass ring.

The Lady's Pick: Auburn to cover.

4. UCLA at Arizona State: Arizona State (-12.5)

UCLA has not played well on the road and Arizona State seems to play at another level inside Sun Devil Stadium—remember how tight they played Oregon?

The Lady's Pick: Arizona State to cover.

5. Colorado at Nebraska: Nebraska (-16.5)

Sure, the Buffaloes manhandled Iowa State last week but, let's face it, Iowa State isn't nearly as good as advertised and Colorado is really this bad. With or without Taylor Martinez leading the charge, the Cornhuskers should have no problem controlling the tempo or the end zone in this one.

The Lady's Pick: Nebraska to cover.

6. Arizona at Oregon: Oregon (-19)

Oregon plays lights out at home. This week will not be any different.

The Lady's Pick: Oregon to cover.

7. Boise State at Nevada: Boise State (-14)

This game will actually be the biggest test Boise has faced, in-conference, all season as Nevada resembles something closer to a Division-I football team—much unlike the patsies the Broncos have come up against all year. That said, it will still be a bit surprising if the Wolfpack pulls out the win (especially given the overall dominance Boise has in this series).


The Lady's Pick: Nevada to cover.

8. Michigan at Ohio State: Ohio State (-17)

If Michigan had anything that closely resembled a defense, this game might actually be a bit closer—particularly if you could have any faith that Denard Robinson would both play and finish the game. However, given the fact that neither the latter or the former has been likely over the last few weeks, it's hard not to see Ohio State and Terrelle Pryor dominating this game.

The Lady's Pick: Ohio State to cover.


9. Indiana at Purdue: Purdue (-3)

Purdue showed some signs of life last week against a stout Michigan State team and this has to be one of those games where the bragging rights could give the Boilermakers just enough motivation to, finally, get another win.

The Lady's Pick: Purdue


10. Kentucky at Tennessee: Tennessee (-3)

Tennessee seems to have found the right guy to lead their offense in Tyler Bray, and if their defense can find a way to play hard, in an SEC contest, for the full 60 minutes, they should have no problem getting win number six on Saturday.

The Lady's Pick: Tennessee

The Lady's SUPERSIZED Luck Picks (time to go all-in to get above .500)


11. Clemson (+2.5) vs. South Carolina


12. Connecticut (-1) vs. Cincinnati

13. Wisconsin (+23) vs. Northwestern


14. Vanderbilt (-5.5) vs. Wake Forest


15. Iowa (-15.5) at Minnesota


16. Virginia Tech (+23) vs. Virginia


17. Utah (-9) vs. BYU


18. Stanford (-13.5) vs. Oregon State


19. Arkansas (-3.5) vs. LSU


20. Penn State (+1.5) vs. Michigan State

UFO sighting in Tennessee on Nov 9, 2010, photo.

Date of sighting: November 9, 2010
Location of sighting: Tennessee, USA



6 Days a week my job is making virtual tours. I was at 559 Old Hwy 28 taking mountain view pictures from the clients deck. Air was 0 mph & there was "NO" sound, very quiet there. I didn't see any thing strange.



But when I got back to my office, checking the pictures, I saw something blured in the picture taken from the deck to the mountains. I shoot at 3mp because of internet use, so as you enlarge it is not sharp. But I blew it up & messed with max shadows to darken it, then with highlights, you can see the shape of a triangle, back to back.

The pic time will say 10:53am, but it's really 9:53am.

Didn't use this picture in my show, but you can watch it to get an idea of the land & mountains at the back of the house. If it was a plane, the picture would have been sharp & clear.

College Football: Les Miles Must Have An Angel On His Shoulders

It would be easy to say that LSU, sitting pretty at 5-0, ranked No. 's 12 and 9 in the AP and Coaches Poll—respectively—is a good team. After all, they are undefeated, right?

However, if you've actually seen LSU play this year, you would begin to wonder how on earth they aren't 2-3—or worse—because they really aren't that good.

For one thing, their quarterback, Jordan Jefferson is atrocious. He's currently dead last in the conference in passing efficiency—dead last. Considering the fact that he plays in a conference that both Chris Relf (Mississippi State) and Larry Smith (Vanderbilt) call home, that's a pretty amazing feat.

Even more amazing, his teammate, Patrick Peterson, has more return yards (537) than he has passing yards (449).  Wrap your head around that little nugget. That means that through five games, Jefferson is averaging less than 90 yards passing—seriously? 

Tyler Russell, the BACKUP quarterback for Mississippi State, has more passing yards than Jefferson—and he's not even a starter.

On the contrary, Jefferson isn't the reason the Tigers are in the hunt, his team wins in spite of him—not because of him. Time and again, the gods of college football have granted Les Miles' crew a mulligan or a save to keep them from having to suffer on the losing end:

1.  In week one, LSU was one questionable pass interference call away from losing to a totally depleted North Carolina team. 
2. In weeks two and three, it took them until the fourth quarter to put away Vanderbilt and Mississippi State—respectively. 
3. They nearly whiffed against West Virginia in week four.
4. And, in week five, Tennessee all but had them beat if not for a last-minute penalty granting them a second chance at the 'W'.

LSU has no business being anywhere near the top 10 and, with a quarterback who throws more interceptions (6) than touchdowns (2),  and a turnover margin that edges more towards the negative (-2 and counting) than the positive, it won't be much longer before that becomes a reality.

Les Miles better enjoy this ride of good fortune while it lasts because the wheels are looking like they might be getting ready to come off.

College Football 2010: Five Incoming Freshman Who Face Heavy Expectations

There is both good and bad to being a highly-touted recruit for a major Division I school.

The good is easy, you essentially arrive at the big boy table with VIP status, everyone absolutely loves you, and you are expected to be a star. The bad is...well...it's the same thing.

As SEC teams around the South start practicing in the blaring 90+ degree heat, the reality of the choices these premiere talents have made is probably starting to set in—with force. They are no longer the prospect with massive potential but, rather, the true frosh who is going to be the difference between a conference champion and a middling bowl team.

That said, there are at least five SEC freshmen who are about to see the heat on the back of their necks get a whole lot hotter—so hot, in fact, that 90-degree read-out they see on their respective practice fields is going to look relatively cool in comparison.

1. Marcus Lattimore, RB—South Carolina

He's going to play in 2010—there's little doubt. Will he make the keen impact that the Gamecock faithful hope he can?  Well...only time and a few games will tell the story.

South Carolina has not had a dominant force at tailback during the Spurrier era. Cory Boyd and Kenny Miles have been nice talents but, Miles is prone to injury due to his diminutive size and Boyd never had enough consistency at quarterback to make his stellar running worthwhile.

With Stephen Garcia coming into camp both confident and ready to play, Lattimore is expected to bolster the already rising profile of the Gamecocks this season.

2. Da' Rick Rogers, WR—Tennessee

The top rated athlete from the state of Georgia in 2010, Rogers heads to a Tennessee team that is not only in a transitional state, but one in need of a boost this season.

So far, the talented freshman has seen himself landing in the news for all the wrong reasons but as Derek Dooley goes about the business of making Tennessee football the focus in Knoxville again, Rogers will be a key factor in turning what many expect to be a lackluster passing game into one worthy of a highlight reel.

All eyes will be on him this season as he tries to shake the negative stink off his shoulder pads in favor of a little more production on the field.

3. Seantrel Henderson, OT—Miami

After all the waiting and build-up that surrounded his arrival on the college football scene, Seantrel had better be bringing the goods to Miami. His size, potential, and overall talent level has been force-fed to the college-hungry football fan for more than two years and now that he's at The "U" and likely to be placed at the all-important left tackle position, he is expected to dominate from the first snap of the ball.

If he doesn't, his legacy would crumble as quick as you could say the name, Willie Williams.

4. LaMarcus Joyner, DB—Florida State

The 'Noles signed quite a few head-turners in 2010—Jeff Luc was another big name who landed in Tallahassee. However, the achilles heel at FSU last season was the secondary. Despite the presence of a lot of speed and a ton of talent, the unit was plagued with inconsistency and poor play on the field.

Joyner is not only expected to play immediately but there are quite a few out there who are looking for him to have the type of impact that Greg Reid (true sophomore) had as a true frosh last season. Standing at a mere 5'8", that's quite a tall order for the young man from Miami.

5. Jake Heaps, QB—BYU

I don't know that Heaps will outright win the job for the Cougars in 2010, but many expect him to do so. If he does, he will also be counted on to keep the team in contention and, sooner rather than later, lead them to the BCS promised land.

The coaches have raved about him from the time he took his first spring snap and if he does anything short of blow his fellow Mountain West opponents out of the water with his All-American arm, there would be massive disappointment in Provo.

Bryce Brown...The Very Definition of Unclassy

Bryce Brown just joined the ranks of his former coach and, coincidentally, the man who lured him to Knoxville in the first place, Lane Kiffin, by exiting the Tennessee football program via text message.

Brown, who abruptly departed the Vols football program in late March, was given quite a bit of leeway by new coach Derek Dooley. No pressure was applied to Brown as the Vols awaited his decision to either finish out his career at Tennessee or transfer out. However, the longer the decision took to be made, the more apparent it became that Brown would not be returning—by the end of spring, it was clear both Dooley and the team had moved on. 

In hindsight, though, Dooley may have been better served to approach Brown and alert him that he needed to make a choice sooner rather than later. The reason for doing so would have been simple, to take pressure off both the team and himself in answering the question of whether Brown was going to remain or not.

Why continue to allow that kind of a distraction? Especially since it was clear that Dooley knew Brown's fate long before the end of spring practice. I mean, most of the fans and players had moved on from this soap opera, but the waiting was the kicker—Brown continued to drag out his request for a release, why?

In the end, not only did Brown not show up to meet with Dooley about his situation but he decided the best way to say goodbye was through a text message.

Unbelievable.

It always seems like poor form to talk negatively about a 19-year old kid who, presumably, still has a lot of growing up to do, but come on—seriously?!? A text message? Considering the amount of respect that Brown was given by Dooley, I would think he would have thought to at least give him as much respect in return. The fact that he didn't says a lot about him as a player and a man—right now.

According to at least one report, his parents weren't too happy about his decision to exit the program in this manner either—his father was vocal in stating that he didn't feel it was the manly thing to do. Well, I can definitely agree with daddy Brown on that one, but, at the same time, look at the example Brown toiled under during his first season in Knoxville.

Former Vols coach, Lane Kiffin, scurried out of town, under the cover of night, on short notice, with no explanation other than he was taking his "dream job". After which, he tried to pilfer what was left of the Vol's 2010 recruiting class and then proceeded to make statements to the effect that he never promised Tennessee a rose garden.

I guess Bryce picked up on the wrong man's cues for how to do things the right way.

UT Coach Derek Dooley Faces Tough Test In Dealing With Brawl Incident

In the aftermath of the assault at Bar Knoxville, at least one player has been dismissed from the team—Darren Myles—and two others are suspended indefinitely.

Da'Rick Rogers has escaped any real punishment, for now, but the reputation of the University of Tennessee football program continues to be tarnished by his, and others, bad behavior.

As the new fearless leader of the Vols' football program, head coach Derek Dooley has already laid down his version of the law in stating that he won't continue to allow this kind of behavior to proliferate his program,

"It is a privilege, not a right, to be a member of the University of Tennessee football team," Dooley said in a statement. "The most important responsibility of that privilege is to properly represent this institution and our supporters on and off the field.

"I am disappointed and in many ways embarrassed by the poor judgment displayed on many fronts by several members of our football team last night," Dooley said. (CNN Wire, 7/9/10).

Not for nothing, but, talk is cheap. So far, all Dooley has done is show defensive back Darren Myles the door—this was his second arrest this offseason. Myles could see more jail time if he is found guilty of taking part in the assault on officer Robert Capouellez.

Even more, his decision to flee his arresting officer, purposely hitting him in the process, left little doubt that he would need to be dismissed from the program—that was a given.

The actions of Denarious Moore and Matt Milton, both of whom are wide receivers, could result in a lengthy suspension as well. Moore was Tennessee's second leading receiver last season and is entering his senior year for the Vols.

Matt Milton is a 2010 signee who many feel will be a future star at Tennessee.  He was rated a 4-star prospect by Rivals last season.

However, the real question is, how will Dooley handle the punishment of Da'Rick Rogers?

If he manages to get off without so much as a slap on the wrist, then there will be conversations about where Dooley's disciplinary philosophy truly ends—he's not at Louisiana Tech anymore—these are big boy decisions that Dooley is expected to make without prejudice.

Good luck.

As of now, charges are still pending and it is unclear the level of involvement of each player charged thus far. What is known is that Bar Knoxville may become no-man's land for UT football players from this point on. The whole "VIP" thing just screams of a scandal and I don't suspect that Dooley wants any part of it given the sensitive spot he's already been placed.

Perhaps he needs to speak to Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl. According to Sandra Morton, the basketball players have never given them any trouble and are just "good boys." As for those football players, they seem to have a little trouble with authority and following the proper dress code—a claim I believe considering how much Mr. Rogers loves to take his shirt off—just saying.

Interview with Bar Knoxville co-owner, Sandra Morton:



Footage of both Darren Myles and Da'Rick Rogers leaving the Knox County jail—that Rogers, boy, he sure is fast, ain't he? That might be the first time I've ever seen him try to AVOID the spotlight.

Oh, let me stop.

Tony Basillio, A Knoxville Radio Host, Takes Out Billboard Aimed At Kiffin

According to a report by The Orange County Register, Tony Basillio—a Knoxville radio personality—has started a billboard campaign aimed at Lane Kiffin. The Billboards would be placed in Trojan Country and would read: "got sanctions? Enjoy Your Dream Job, Lane". 

Basillio has started a paypal fund and he's taking donations from any fan or follower of Tennessee football to aid in this project. It's obvious to me that some Vol fans would still like to stick it to Mr. Kiffin.

My take, the best revenge is doing well. Kiffin's slimy ways have trailed him everywhere he's been and there is little doubt that he will step in a big pile of manure at USC at some point as well. I give him 4-years—max—before he's fired or slithers away for something that elevates him even higher than he already feels himself to be.

Either way, he's not long for the college football world.

Man, he's just so darned unlikeable, I can't do anything but root against him—sorry, Trojan fans.



I love how he kept wringing his hands—a sure sign that he knew he was dead wrong. What a guy.

Georgia Is No. 64 According to the Orlando Sentinel...Guess What I Say?

The Orlando Sentinel has been counting down the Top 120 teams in the nation and the Georgia Bulldogs have landed at No. 64.

"Why Georgia at No. 64?: It’s been a long time since Georgia has been pushed outside of the national top 60, but the Bulldogs must prove themselves on too many levels to be deemed a major factor in the preseason. Georgia must win with a new quarterback, a new defensive scheme and find a way to improve last year’s unspectacular performance on both sides of the ball." (6/28/10)

I find it comical that the Georgia Bulldogs can come off an 8-5 season and suddenly be plagued with this much doubt. Two close losses early on in the season to both Oklahoma State and LSU all but sealed the 8-5 finish, otherwise Mark Richt likely would have had another ten win season.

That being said, this is the same publication that places Iowa State above Michigan and Kentucky ahead of Tennessee—credibility is in doubt.

While I can appreciate the challenges that Georgia faces in implementing a new defense, I don't believe for one second that it will be any worse than it was in 2009.

Furthermore, despite the inexperience at the quarterback position, I don't see any reason why Georgia will have trouble moving the ball this season—particularly if the line can avoid serious injury and play up to its potential. The presence of Clint Boling and Ben Jones will be key in the development of both Aaron Murray and the running game.

The presence of A.J. Green is a definite plus but the emergence of both Orson Charles and Aron White as legitimate forces in the passing game cannot be discounted.

Georgia at 64 is insulting and, in many ways, shows a great deal of blatant idiocy on the part of the author—especially when Kentucky is No. 65.

Seriously...Georgia is only one spot better than the Wildcats?!?

Ohhh, Jeremy Fowler, how you kid. Let me know when you remove your lips from the fluffy pillows attached and protruding just beneath Urban Meyer's back—maybe then you can regain perspective.

64?....Jeez, what a moron.

Watts Dantzler Makes It Official, He's Going To Be A Georgia Bulldog

The recruiting saga of Dalton, Georgia's own, Watts Dantzler has come to a fortuitous end for the Bulldogs as the top offensive line prospect in the State of Georgia has opted to commit to the Georgia Bulldogs over the Auburn Tigers. The decision comes as no surprise to some as speculation was rampant for months that Dantzler would commit to Georgia.

The surprise, however, was in the timing of his decision. Many felt they would have to wait until November 16th—Dantzler’s 18th birthday—to find out for certain. Instead, Dantzler changed his mind and opted to honor his father by announcing his decision on Father’s Day.

His father, Danny Dantzler, played for former Georgia Bulldog coach, Vince Dooley, from 1971-73, as an offensive lineman. Danny, coincidentally, also tussled between Auburn and Georgia when he was a prospect but he eventually chose Georgia—just as his son Watts did today. 

The parallels are too obvious to be ignored and there is little doubt that Watts’ chose them for that very reason. He was very close to his father and, even though he knew his decision on where to play would ultimately be his to make—fully supported by those who love him—he always figured it would be Georgia in the end.

Said Watts:

 “Georgia was the best school for me because basically I felt at home there,” said Dantzler, whose father lettered as an offensive lineman at Georgia from 1971-73. “I’ve been going there since I was a little kid and always dreamed of putting on the red and black. Hopefully soon that will be a reality." (Chip Towers, AJC, 6/20/10).

The day’s events were dampened only by the absence of Watts’ father who passed away18-months ago from Lou Gehrig’s Disease. It was part of the reason he chose to announce now as opposed to November, what better way to include his father than to announce on Father’s Day where the spirit of him would be most appreciated and most felt among those around him,

"Doing this on Fathers Day truly means more than anything to me,” Dantzler said. “I had and still have the best dad in the world and I know he’s going to be proud of me today." (Chip Towers, AJC, 6/20/10)

It was a good day for Watts’ and his family.

Even more, the Georgia Bulldog nation can take pride in the fact that they were able to land another phenomenal in-state product for their 2011 class. Dantzler’s commitment brings the total to 12 and counting.

Despite the recent flack about the “Dream Team” approach to luring in top prospects, Georgia has done a nice job of locking down the guys they want this year—from an in-state perspective—Dantzler had offers from Tennessee, Auburn, Vanderbilt, and Alabama just to name a few.
