I think UGA beats NU handily. After giving up 70 to Wisky in the BIg 10 title game, I'm sure they're fired up to do better, but I still think UGA handles them.

I'm sitting listening to the Gamecock Network and getting ready for the game. The SEC needs to give the Big 10 a football lesson Mississippi State is dropping the ball in the SEC vs. Big 10 matchups. They're already down 10-0 thanks to 2 INTS, the first on the first play from scrimmage which resulted in a Pick 6.

Amazing considering he had a lacerated spleen in the preseason. I looked at his stats on ESPN.com and he only caught 8 passes in his first three games as he was working his way back from injury, so the fact that he broke the record after the slow start and with another game coming is impressive.

That brings back so many good memories. I was a sophomore at UT then and I remember the only good thing Miami had that night was the hottie at 1:58 of the playback. I was there as well. Miami had a successful fake punt on their opening drive that helped them to a TD and a 7-0 lead. Then the Vols just totally dominated the rest of the game.

I expect he will make a big splash in the NFL given it will be his 2nd year after surgery. Good speed, route runner, and ball skills you can't teach. He struggled this year but it was all mental. He won't have that issue next year. Seems like a good kid and I wish him well. Probably a 2nd round pick because of this year unless his combine showing puts him in the 1st round.
He definitely has the physical tools for the NFL, but he drops a lot of balls. He'll have to improve that in the pros.

Likely that he is. Maybe we will get a chance to see how he does, if not, we can all move on. He is head and shoulders above anyone we have had since AT LEAST Ainge.
Well that's not saying very much. I'll give it to him that he's better than Crompton and anybody else we may have had since Ainge that I don't remember right now. Nobody can debate Bray's physical talent. However, it's his immaturity, lack of leadership, insubordination (if rumors are to be believed), falling apart at critical moments and packing it in when things go south, that I've seen enough of.

7-5 if Bray stays. If Bray leaves 4-8 or 5-7
So Bray by himself is worth 2 or 3 games? He hasn't won a meaningful game yet. I kind of hope he doesn't come back. He'd be a senior anywasy, so he'd be only around for next year. IMO it would be better for the new coach to build a foundation with a guy who's going to be here for a few more years, even if he did take some lumps next year.

Not to mention his show cause status. We're on probation. We don't need a coach with NCAA baggage (that goes for you too Butch Davis).

Nail meet head. If I never see another post that says,"I've seen a post from (or talked to) so-and-so and he is an insider who know what's going on and he said yada yada yada.", it'll be too soon.

Is Franklin that good of a coach or did he get lucky with a watered down SEC schedule. This year they are 5 - 3 in the SEC. However, look at those five wins: UT and Auburn or are at their lowest points in history, Missouri who is trying to learn how to compete in the SEC and when they played them Missouri was using their back-up QB, UK who is UK and also at one of their lowest points in history, and Ole Miss who is rebuilding. The best win out of that group is Ole Miss. I am still not convinced he is that great of a coach.
Compared to our recently departed coach he's General Neyland, Bear Bryant and Knute Rockne all rolled up into one. He's taken Vanderbilt, I repeat, V-A-N-D-E-R-B-I-L-T, to two bowl games in a row. 'Nuff said.
