It would be difficult to think of a scenario under which 9-3 would be unsatisfying.

The balance of the offense is found in the yards per attempt metric as opposed to the total yards passing or rushing. We run for a ton of yards, control the clock, and go for the throat when we do pass. Plus, balance is overrated, anyway. We only need the threat of balance, though...

I have found that they tend to act out much more when they believe there's a chance they could lose. I was at the game in our building in 2013 and theirs in 2014, and when we went up 20-0 in 2013, their fans started to act like jerks. In 2014, I probably didn't help my own cause because I...

1999 UGA game, Freshman year. Thanks, Jasper! 2004 Clemson game. One of the wildest endings I've ever seen, and payback for the Woody Dantzler show in 2001. 2014 UGA game. The swings of emotion in the game were exhausting. Didn't fall asleep until 3:00 AM because I just couldn't believe...

I think before we start worrying about our road attendance, it would be nice to have a full (of Jacket fans) home game.

What the hell does "commit to the G" even mean? That makes no sense.

Can we get a little more information on what other teams' records might be? In the absence of that kind of info, it's hard to speculate. Undefeated, with a whole mess of wins against high profile teams (and probably FSU or Clemson twice) and it's hard to see a scenario where we don't make it...

Yeah, there's one of us who isn't paying attention, but it's not me. The rules are probably illegal; we'll know soon enough. They aren't there for competitive reasons, and if they are, they're failing miserably. If you're jealous or envious of athletes, that's a sad life, but if you're...

I certainly didn't intend to bat away your point, so I apologize for my communication. The issue here is that the brand identity is irrelevant, and even if we can't extract it from the school, we can extract it from the player. I know this because Todd Guley got suspended for signing...

Can't say he doesn't have the right attitude. If he's half the player #5 is, he's gonna be just fine.

Okay, we're getting somewhere. I'll try to answer y'all's questions, too. You can't stipulate a non existent business market as the baseline. Saying that university sports is amateur is not circular but the fact. It boggles the mind that you don't understand this. Universities do not support...

Whether they have the same value is not the point; the point is choices. As for the others, I was unaware that there were pricing agreements between mechanics, gasoline companies, or law firms (I certainly don't have any with other law firms). I've tried to answer every question, and...

Sure. Competing organizations - cell phone carriers competing for customers or colleges competing for athletes - colluding to restrict the options of another are restraining trade. In our world, it's either fixing prices of phone plans or fixing compensation to athletes. Your analogy...

There are two cases. There's the Northwestern case concerning unionization of Northwestern athletes (which I believe is currently being appealed), but there's also the Kessler lawsuit filed in New Jersey, and that's the one that's going for the jugular.

Competing for athletes services isn't trade? I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Some non-athletic scholarships have restrictions on them - you want free money to go to school, you do (or don't do) what the scholarship requires or you loose the scholarship. This is exactly true, and...

No, it doesn't matter whether they're employees or not. What matters is whether there's a restraint of trade. If AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all decided to charge the exact same fees for the exact same service, it's a restraint of trade. Then a court would consider whether that promotes...

The second issue is really not what is driving the "athletes getting paid" bus; it's the first. And the issue here is whether the NCAA has illegally capped payments to athletes (a restraint of trade). It's my opinion that they have, but the analysis is not complete there (though that's...

Freeman is going to be a star. By mid-October he won't be our little secret anymore.

I'm not sure there's an agreement in place between the NCAA and professional sports leagues, but the balance of your comment is correct. If the schools haven't colluded to limit the players' income, it does seem like quite the coincidence that all 128 FBS schools offer the same compensation...

He's a slave to Rivals.com's recruiting rankings and has consistently overrated Georgia in particular for several years now (though they were a top ten team last year). IIRC, he said they were a dark horse for the national title in 2010, whereupon they went 6-7.
