Poor Bobby. I am sure $14.25 million will cheer you up. This season certainly showed you are worth much more than that.
Arthur Blank was too meddlesome with the Falcons and former coach Bobby Petrino’s family was “miserable in Atlanta.” Those are the latest salvos in the continuing fallout from Petrino’s sudden departure from Atlanta Falcons head coach to the head coach at Arkansas.
NB: For the UGA fans, see if UGA would benefit from a playoff here, I’ve run several different simulations and only once did they go to the semi-finals. But really, they are deserving to play for the title.
Also, the AJC has a gallery of GT’s year in Athletics. Highlights include a photo-op with last year’s ACC division title and a victory over 3-9 Notre Dame.

And this just in,
Petrino “miserable” in Arkansas, spotted this morning on a “recruiting visit” to Morgantown.
Bowden has long ceded control to any one of his lieutenants.
I’ve often said once he stopped calling plays the winning stopped as well.
Now that he is not in charge no one is willing to accept any sort of blame for poor play or misconduct.
Oh well….When Mark Richt becomes the coach. He’ll fix it all.
Mark Richt is the coach at UGA.
He has no reason to be seduced by the scent of a lesser stag.
If you’re waiting on Mark Richt to come fix things…………you’re going to be waiting a LONG time.
Icarus,
The Big Ten vs. SEC head to head bowl record last year was 2-1 in favor of the Big Ten.
Doug,
You are correct. And I hate that so much.
I’m about to say something that I really don’t like to admit.
On years where each of the major conferences is having a good year (not this year obviously), if you take the top 2-3 teams from each conference, you’re not going to see much difference. Every conference has a lot of talent in teams 1-3.
I think where the “SEC is Strongest” argument is most legitimate is in teams 4-12. I think the conference is by far the “deeper” conference, as far as talent on down the line.
But on a good year for all conferences, it’s really hard to separate the 1-3 teams.
Sorry Doug,
The complete ass-whooping that Florida put on Ohio State last year seems to have clouded my memory.
Icky,
So sad when Georgia fans try to poach glory from Florida. But, that’s what happens when you have so little of your own, root for conference “rivals” and pretend your team had something to do with it.
When Georgia gets “rainbowed”, does this mean Hawai’i is better than all the rest of the SEC, except Tennessee and South Carolina?
“He has no reason to be seduced by the scent of a lesser stag.”
Of course he doesn’t he has no allegiance or warm feelings for the program which gave him his name.
I guess that is why he maintains a membership at a Tallahassee church and has an exit clause in his contract for one unspecified school.
Must be.
So now Pete Carroll is supposedly being lured by the Falcons.
And again, “sources” have leaked this to ESPN.
I conclude 2 things.
1) Pete Carroll is getting his annual fix by having his ego stroked by the national media over an open NFL position, and
2) Arthur Blank is again being used to get someone else to write a bigger check.
