How about some help over there - even the idiot announcer knew they were going there with the fade!&nbsp; Besides, Muschamp can do no wrong because he yells and runs out onto the field and creates great You Tube videos.</p> <p>Meanwhile, GD sits quietly up in the stands with his Diet Dr. Pepper and play charts and systematically wins ball games.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
