As much as I hate to post a link to anything by Scarbinsky, this one is worth it. What an outstanding painting by Steve Skipper honoring John Mark Stallings, his father, and the bond they shared. Never thought I'd say it, but I like this one more than anything Daniel Moore has done.

Johnny should be here to see this team.

He should be there, in the Rose Bowl, to watch that game for the national title.

Something tells me, he will be watching, from the best seat in a better house.

Anybody seen this play where Brandon Spikes jumps on the pile and tries to gouge the eyes of the Georgia back? Here's a vid:

After the big talk this week about suspending coaches, I wonder if the SEC will step up and do anything about this. Here's the pertinent NCAA rule (h/t BamaSportReport):

Flagrant Personal Fouls (Rule 9-6). For 2009-10 the rules committee has added a new section that calls for conferences in the days following a game to review certain particularly dangerous plays.  This new rule says that if a player is ejected for any flagrant personal foul the conference must review the game video for possible further action.  In addition, if the officials call fouls for targeting defenseless players or using the crown of the helmet and the player is not ejected, the rules mandate a conference review.  Furthermore, if the review by the conference reveals actions that should have resulted in a personal foul but were not called, the conference may impose sanctions.

russelljonesjr: Do you feel like we have a great shot will L. Owens are is there not room? Is that why Beasley chose Clemson?

Andrew Bone: Owens is very high on Alabama. I know Alabama does not have many spots and selective with the remaining prospects. I expect only two linebacker slots are open. C.J. Mosley is likely a top priority for one of the slots. Jeff Luc is also in the mix.

jambama1: with luc loving the 3-4 system and we are the only team that runs it dos it help a lot?

Andrew Bone: Maybe some people are starting to catch on to me sayng Jeff Luc in these recruiting chats.

I've been thinking the Luc was a real long shot, but it sounds like Andrew Bone thinks we have a legit chance.

I know recruiting has slowed in recent weeks and we now have actual football news, but it's been a while since we've had a meat market post. Got any good info OTS? Even a list of quick hitters if that's all you've got would be nice.
