"Sometimes we might slack off and do something [wrong] in practice, and he'll tell us, ‘That what gets you to 8 and 5,'" safety Nick Williams said. "You might mess up a play, and he tells us, ‘That's what makes you go 8 and 5.' He just keeps our attention. He keeps us going hard.

"Every day, he's letting us know. ‘Eight and five. Eight and five. Eight and five.' Every day. That's something we do not want to experience again."

Urban Meyer knows that coaching might kill him, and yet he chooses to coach. We he keels over dead in the 4th quarter of next year's LSU game, it will be like Crockodile Hunter Steve Irwin filming a special entitled "The Oceans Deadliest Creatures" and being killed by one of them. You feel bad for him, but it's not like he didn't know what he was getting into.  I hate Florida. Damnit.

The state of the ACC is a great allegory for the goals of the No Child Left Behind law - the main purpose of which is to "close the achievement gap."

Well the ACC shows the quickest way to close the gap is to bring the top down to the middle. Everyone is mediocre. Hooray for parity!

I'm adding these words now because the man who lives inside the internet said I have to have 75 words in order to publish this FanPost.

We were the better team on Saturday. It was a great accomplishment. It is futher evidence that under Richt we are consistently one of the big boys.

But...

We did not rout or thump or blowout LSU. The LSU offense outgained the UGA offense. The LSU offense scored as many points as the UGA offense.

One clearly blown call went in our favor. And our defense got run through in the second half.

Great win. Sets up a huge showdown. But it wasn't the beatdown many colunmist are calling it. We need to have pride, but also have perspective.
