Next Year’s Champion?

Vols Will Battle Dawgs
Last year’s tilt on Rocky Top was part of an ongoing injuries horror show. Receivers had dropped like flies for weeks, and we had seen star Todd Gurley fall to an injury the week prior, rolled up on by an…
What a Difference

Richt in The A
Not as important what was said here tonight in the Galleria of Greater Metro Atlanta where head football coach Mark Richt spoke, as it is how GEORGIA plays here this year. How and when. The SEC East title is a…
