Wednesday Links (11/25)

Don't forget we're chatting at 1 p.m. today at macon.com/ugachat. You can post your questions now, or just join us live then.

We'll be meeting with Mark Richt at 2:15, so the chat will need to be limited to about 45 minutes, but I'll get to all the questions I possibly can.

-- Tyler Estep writes for the Telegraph that Joe Cox is hoping his final regular-season game for Georgia can provide a more pleasant conclusion than last week did.

-- David Ching writes that this year's Bulldogs have provided a familiar storyline for Eric Zeier.

-- Any time Bernie has a locker note for Fred Munzenmaier, you know the game is important.

-- Bubba N Earl come up with the battle plan for beating Georgia Tech.

-- Things could get ugly for Georgia on Saturday, but at least it won't get this ugly. Probably.

-- Jeff Schultz writes that it has been Paul Johnson, not Mark Richt, that has done the better job of QB development of late.

-- From a Syracuse fan who has seen his team on this list way too often, may I simply say, Welcome to ESPN's Bottom 10, UGA. Hope you don't stick around too long.

-- The Grit Tree offers up its final regular-season Lewis Grizzard Wednesday, and it's a good one.

-- Bleacher Report offers a Thanksgiving wishlist for the Georgia football team. (Since when do we get wishlists for Thanksgiving? Is this a way to boost the economy? If so, I want a Lexus with a big bow on it.)

-- This is a really fascinating article from Eye on Sports Media about the economic effect all the night games had on Athens businesses. Once again, ESPN acts as the Wal-Mart of TV.

-- Rather than Uga VIII, PETA would like Georgia to get Uga 8.0. (By the way, does anyone else think it's a good sign for Georgia that next year's Uga will be the same number as A.J. Green?)

-- Georgia Sports Blog has an even better idea for the mascot.

-- Georgia's hoops team finally got back in the win column last night.

-- Chris Low has his SEC picks for the week posted. He sees a 10-point win for Tech. Did you know the spread is 7.5? Yet 10 is about the closest I've seen any of the "experts" call this game.

-- This week's "Coachspeak of the Week" award goes to... Paul Johnson!

-- Sad news for Jim Harrick's family.

-- The legend of Matthew Stafford is growing in Detroit after his heroic performance Sunday.

-- Brandon Coutu got a tryout with the Falcons.

-- Jimmy Fallon does a mean Neil Young impression... this is hilarious.

-- This looks like an awesome Christmas gift idea for anyone whose formative years came in the early '90s.

-- Here's an early look at some photos from the new season of "24."

-- Here's an interesting list of the best band names inspired by movies. I'll give my vote to The Fratellis.

-- Here's a YouTube clip of the "Seinfeld" reunion without all the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" stuff in between.

-- And finally, Paste has its list of the best TV guest appearances of the decade. This strikes me as a pretty crappy list. Spencer and Heidi were the best they came up with from "How I Met Your Mother"? I liked Chris Elliott better this week. And I'm not sure if it counts, but I'd argue Peyton Manning on "Saturday Night Live" was hands down the best guest appearance of the decade.

First off, I always want to see Athens prosper in a grassroots sort of way. That being said the gouging of the hotels is coming back to bite them in the ass. Anyone who has tried to make a reservation last minute (which in Athens is 2 months before the game rather 6 months before season starts) has felt the sting of paying $200/night for a $50/night hotel and then, to add insult to injury, being forced to reserve both nights.

Whoever wrote that bleacher report article (kimberley something) needs to do some better editing and research.

Re: offensive line slide.

Dallas Austin? L O L

Yes we did have 1,000 yard rusher last year but the O line was just as maligned last year as this year. Easy to forget apparently.

David,
That was my first thought about UGA XIII and A.J. wearing #8. Maybe the b!+ch that karma is will turn our way next year.

Well the Fratellis are big fans of Celtic, so you can't go wrong there. But the best has got to be Pussy Galore...

As for the Bottom 10...

Had to be a p*ssed off UGA alum who wrote that. I just knew all along.
