Georgia has hired (and upgraded tremendously) Jeremy Pruitt former FSU defensive coordinator to fill the same role at UGA.

[Joesanity]

Love the upgrades to the OSU defensive staff, especially if it means sticking it to Penn St. and Bielema.

Larry Johnson should work out well. I'm sure he will relish a chance to beat up PSU every year for not hiring him, but I think it's probably best for both parties really. He'll really be able to show what he can do with the talent at OSU.

Josh Harvey Clemons is now kicked out of UGA because he can't stop smoking weed.

He's a good enough player where I'm sure he'll wind up at Auburn or LSU and really do a good job unless there is a hail mary at the end of a game or something. That seems to be the general landing spots for players who get kicked out of UGA.

Standard off season at Georgia.

You have to wonder if UW, Wazzu, CU or CSU might start landing recruits for this reason. I bet Mike Leach would have no problem with it, and I don't think Coach Pete ever kicked someone out of BSU for weed.

It's already happened actually but one of the guys Oregon got from my local HS was kicked out for theft and not just weed I think. We send quite a few state of Georgia players west it's just that THC was a blue chip.

UGA has one of the more stringent drug policies in the nation and they lose several players every off season

[Green Habit]

Heh, I take it THC is a play on words with JHC. Richt really should ask himself whether such a strict policy is worth losing those blue chippers.

It has been debated in various forms of media ad nauseum. I don't expect it to change under Richt or Mcgarity. It puts them at an obvious competitive disadvantage, but I think they see it as a tool to help mold "young men". This is probably the best player they have lost to weed as he's better than Baccari Rambo and he'll probably seriously go on to do big things with some other team like Nick Marshall (kicked off the team for stealing from teammates) has at Auburn, but nothing will change in the policy, they really can't change anything without taking a ton more criticism.

It will be interesting to see if they have it settled by the time they play Clemson or South Carolina, the weed/dumbass suspensions usually cost them at least one early game a year.

In the end, I guess it's good to have standards, but then LSU and Auburn have National Titles...

Given that it's the relaxation drug of choice for quite a few people in the world, I'm looking forward to decriminalization/legalization.

Freaking Addiction is being bantied about today, this is not about addiction, it's about him being not mature enough to follow rules and coaching, if he was actually being coached, he would have knocked the pass down against Auburn instead of going for the pick. He's just an immature guy that was going to smoke his weed regardless.

This proposed rule change that would force offenses to wait 10 seconds before snapping the ball is stupid. Fuck Nick Saban.

Yeah, I hope that doesn't happen. Bad idea, sounds like he's worried HUNH play.

I saw some talk of changing the extra point. I don't know how I feel about it...it's tradition and a good time to take a leak, and grab another beer. On the flip side, it's so predictable and boring. I've seem a few ideas, including:

1. TDs = 7 points. You may leave it at that or decide to play (spot ball at 3 yard line). If you make it, you get a point, if you don't, you lose a point.

2. Move the XP back to the 25 yard line, making it almost a gimmie, but more room for err.

I think I'd say leave as is or #2. #1 sounds too radical.

Well, so much for a QB controversy at Clemson. Looks like Cole Stoudt will lead the team next year. Goodbye Chad "Swag" Kelly. I had high hopes for you.

The Chicken, I mean Chick-fil-A, Bowl will be reverting back to the old Peach Bowl name. It's now going to be the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
Which is really what it should have been since the corporate name sponsor trend started.

All bowl games should be forced to contain their standard name in them, even if they want to prefix it with a corporate sponsor. Especially since that sponsor can change so many times.

So Tray Matthews 50% of the reason Auburn beat Georgia last year is transferring to Auburn.

What do you have to do to get kicked out of school by a guy who learned under Bobby Bowden?

I take it he was one of the guys who deflected that Hail Mary...

Correct.

Well, this season got off to a rocky start for my Tigers, but if they win out they could be looking at another Orange Bowl appearance, which would be nice.

This Saturday, we got a tough one at GA Tech, in Atlanta. It's always tough for Clemson there, but I think they pull out the win. After that, I'm gonna make a long awaited return to Death Valley, it's a cupcake game though. Nonetheless, excited to get back there. After that, the Tigers close out against the Lamecocks. They better win this year! 5 years of losing to them is unbearable. Order will be restored to the universe this year and the Tigers will win.

Is Deshaun Watson back? That guy may eventually leave as the best QB in Clemson history, I hope he stays healthy.

Yep, he's starting tomorrow. Not sure how that will go though, it's been 4 weeks since he played, and the guy broke a bone in his throwing hand. I'm sure he'll be rusty, and I doubt he's 100%. However, Clemson's Offense has been pretty lackluster with his absence. They've done just enough to win, but it hasn't been pretty.

It's been really weird, because the last few years we had Tajh Boyd, Sammy Watkins, Matavis Bryant, Andre Ellington, Jaron Brown, DeAndre Hopkins (Nuk), Dwayne Allen and Chandler Catanzaro (kicker), and those guys were responsible for the team averaging 40-ish points a game. All of those guys (except Boyd) are now all doing really well in the NFL. Now, the O is lucky to score more than 24 points (without Watson). I hope they get a spark with him back in. Our 3rd down conversions, especially 3rd and short, have been terrible this year.

On the flip side, the D was lackluster when we had all those high powered O guys. The D is now dominant, and sitting at #2 in the nation in total D this year. They have basically kept us in all the games this year (sans Georgia), and are pretty much the reason the team is 7-2 right now.

National Signing Day is around the corner, how's your team doing? Per ESPN, Clemson is sitting on the #3 recruiting class:
