Trap Games

Posted by Brett Kincaid on August 12, 2009

Tony Barnhardt, aka Mr. College Football, has his list of the SEC’s top five trap games of the season.  The Hogs are involved in two of those games.  While I don’t see UF being lulled into a trap at all this season (I’m calling for a 14-0 season for the Gators), I do believe UGa is going to be in trouble in the Ozarks.

3. Georgia at Arkansas, Sept. 19: Georgia will open the season with a difficult game at No. 11 Oklahoma State. Then they come home for what is always a tough game against South Carolina on Sept. 12. Then the Bulldogs have to get on a plane and go to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Hogs’ SEC opener. Arkansas will have had the previous week off to rest up. This is a dangerous game for Georgia.

Curtis Coleman is running for the Republican nomination to face Sen. Blanche Lincoln next November.

I dont [sic] have any visions of glory or grandeur. I do have visions of my grandchildren gathering around me in 15-20 years and saying, Granddad, tell us what America used to be like. With our governments [sic] out-of-control spending, were [sic] mortgaging our countrys [sic] future and our childrens [sic] futures. I will not sit idly by and let that happen without a fight.

Hey, did you hear about Rick Pitino?

New Michael Vick mentor Tony Dungy says Vick could be signed this week.

Man, I didn’t see this coming.  Or…….

Tiger decided he did not want to get fined, so he won’t be fined.

The Razrobacks are still in search of a replacement for Jonathan Luigs.

Two-a-day practices began, which means the list of walking wounded mounts.

Quick notes from the Bama practice yesterday.

Auburn’s scrimmage left more questions than answers.

Tyrone Nix hopes his defense can makes some headlines, too, this season at Oxford.

Some defensive line shake-up at Tennessee has Ben Martin on the 2nd team.

There is another quarterback at Florida.  He may even play some.

LSU again has lots of quality depth at running back.

The lottery remains a hot topic

Arkansas is officially free of payday lenders.

Rest easy, folks.  The health care debate rages on, but Doyle Webb is on the case.

Sen. Mark Pryor talks health care without being shouted at by the unwashed masses.

About 200 more Arkansans are headed to Afghanistan.  God be with them.

I think we can officially rule Mark Sanford out of the race for President in 2012.

Who else is surprised?  I’d say Bud Cummins is not.

Oh please let this happen!

How long before Jerry or Maury do this?

Seriously, folks.  This has got to stop.  I don’t care how much you hate the idea of health care reform.  The Nazi’s killed 6 million people (at least).  The Obama adminstration’s plans, at least the ones I’ve seen, only call for half that.
