March Madness Tourney Pool

I was in my "office" this morning reading the latest edition of Men's Health magazine when I came across a recommendation to those who like March Madness Tournament Pools.

Best March Madness pool website --> ESPN.com is good. TournamentPools.com is better. The site lets you micromanage everything from deadlines to round values to upset bonuses. Then talk trash on your pool's private message board.

Head of the 2014 Recruiting Class

If you read UGABlog.com, you have most likely heard me mention the freshman phenom from Gainesville High School named Deshaun Watson. I am in the process of obtaining some high quality highlights of this athlete, but in the meantime, here is a video that gives a few tastes of what he brings to the table.

Keep in mind, he was a 14 year old starter for the state powerhouse Red Elephants this year. Watson only has a few highlights on this video, and even throws one pick. BUT, look at how smooth he is at such a young age.

The Dawgs Need A "Clay Matthews"

Any knowledgeable football fan knows the awesomeness they are seeing when they watch Clay Matthews. I hate cheering for a kid from Southern Cal as much as the next SEC fan, but the kid can play. Sunday's Super Bowl proved to me that he is one of the top linebackers in the league.

I have wondered about this before, but now it's in the front of my head, so I blog. Why does UGA never have any good white linebackers? WOOOOAAHHH! No, I am not prejudice, I just wonder if there aren't any good linebackers that come out of this state? Maybe some of you readers can fill me in, or give me a little bit of insight, but sans David Pollack (who played defensive end at UGA), who were any other white linebackers the Dawgs have had in the last 20 years?

Once I am informed of some, I will update as needed.

Coleman's Coins - Super Bowl Pick

If you dared to follow my gambling advice this season, you made an absolute killing. That is...if you bet the complete opposite of what I suggested. With that in mind, I'm going all in today with the Steelers as a 2.5 point underdog. Why not, right? It's your last chance to bet on football for a while.

STEELERS - Money line pick to win outright. Forget the points.

What Happens If There Is No NFL In 2011

I just had a conversation with a co-worker about the ongoing possibility of an NFL lockout next season. The more I read and hear about the situation, the more it seems like a real possibility that the NFL may not go as planned for the 2011-2012 season.

The main question I pose is this: what happens to the guys that left the NCAA a year or so early to try their hand at the NFL? Are they just SOL, or will the NCAA give them a way back in? Boy, that UGA recruiting class would look awesome with two more guys added to it (Green and Houston).

As I always say, a boy can dream can't he?

The question to DeMaurice Smith was simple, coming from Cincinnati receiver Chad Ochocinco, asking how serious he viewed the possibility of football not being played in 2011.

Smith did not hesitate.

"On a scale of 1 to 10," Smith said Thursday, "it's a 14."

Why Do We Care About 18-22 Year Old Kids

For all of you that are as "obsessed" with college football as I am, do you ever get asked the following questions?

• Why do you let the decisions of 18 year old boys affect your mood so much?
• Why do you put so much time and money into a game that is decided by a bunch of 18-22 year old kids?
• Or some other related question.

Surely you guys that are "obsessed" know what I am talking about. I got this question posed to me today by a co-worker that knew how into national signing day I was yesterday. I'm not sure I have a very educated answer to this question other than "because I love it" and "it makes me happy". I'm curious to hear what some of your thoughts are on this, and if you have any good comebacks to the questions.

Question For Bobo About Isaiah Crowell

In all seriousness Mr. Coach Bobo; I have given you an extremely hard time on my blog this year because of some inadequate play calling. That being said, you have done a great job recruiting this dream team, and I say YOU DA MAN Bobo!

Now, does having Isaiah Crowell on the depth chart next season mean that Carlton Thomas is still going to get his fair share of off tackle running plays?
