The Georgia Problem

If he brings the ball in at first and doesn't juggle it around, he catches it.  It's already out when he's hit.  It's out to the point that the hit had nothing to do with the drop. 

Agree with the statement that the ball should have gotten there quicker.  Two steps before and with less air under it and he's down at the two. 

Also think Fannin was the worst option on third and 11 there.  Trott was the better choice.  More free space, basically ignored, could have gotten the first down.

I would venture to say this graded out as a drop. The old saying still hold true today. If it hits you in the hands, you should catch it. And it did hit him in the hands. And he dropped it. The hit came as the ball was just about on his knee.

Everyday I'm hustling.

It's not a difficult concept.  If you want more fairness, play 9 SEC games.  That is a pretty fair way to toughen schedules while keeping cross-divisional matchups.  But nobody seems to want to do that.  The majority does want to keep the cross-divisional stuff the way it is, though.  In addition to creating some equality, a 9 SEC game schedule will also make the SEC teams look better when it comes to the strength of schedule component in playoff selections.

SEC teams don't help looking better on strength of schedule. This is all a ploy so teams don't have to play a "name" out of conference team and can just keep scheduling every team from the Sun Belt for the annual welfare-for-beating you up weekends. Oh there are occasions when the little team strikes gold but usually it is a massacre not worthy of $83 tickets.

Maybe.  During "the rematch" debate, I recall the argument of OSU having a better SOS (even though they had lost to ISU) than Alabama as one of the reasons that they should have played LSU for the NC.  OSU's SOS was better than Alabama's.  In a new world of playoffs, I think SOS will weigh a little more heavily in their decisions.

Going to 9 SEC games on a schedule would actually eliminate one of the Sun Belt type games.  They're not talking about lengthening the schedule by an extra week/game.  It would generate better ticket sales, and would also probably make ESPN a little happier since they are now doing the SEC Network as well.

I've posted before about Eddie Gran coming and speaking to a men's group at our church years ago, but I think it bears repeating with regard to this debate.  He was asked a smart ass question from someone in the audience, "When are y'all going to stop playing some of those high schools for OOC games?"  Gran didn't shy away at all and his first response was "Bring on Buffalo".  He said no one could really understand what playing in the SEC is like and how physical every week is.  He said some players looked like they could barely walk by season's end because they were so beat up.  He went on to say we need those games.  We have to have those breaks for our players. 

My thoughts have always been that if you're going to have 4 OOC games, make one against anyone from a legit BCS conference, as Auburn and Alabama both do every single year.  Make another with someone a step down (Perception-wise) but with a recognizable enough name to generate some interest.  Troy, Memphis, Houston, Tulane, SMU etc.  The other 2 should be Alabama A&M and St. James or Marbury.

Why in the hell would you wanna schedule Troy, when we could get Southwest North Dakota Technical and Weaving Institute or Rocky Falls State? Why would you want to lend any "legitimacy" to Troy. They have none. Let's keep it that way. They've beat the no. 15 team in the country one time on ESPN but they've never beat anyone really any good. Isn't that enough reason to not play them?

That way, maybe they will just dry up and go away. You know, like AU did when UA refused to come into JHS to play.
