Well, yeh. There is that.

Two keys to avenging Ramik

It's so simple, it's complicated.

1. Frankie says Relax.
2. Tackle the ball carrier.

Vandy is done. They were beat before they crossed through Chattanooga last night. This is a get right game. Go Dawgs!

Friday Misery - Lionel, Robbie and Penn walk into a Starbucks...

This Saturday, on the SECN, live from Sanford Stadium in beautiful Athens GA....your Georgia Bulldogs play host to the Half-Caff-Venti-Non-Fat-Soy-Two Vanilla Pumps-Extra Whip-Caramel Drizzle-Hashtag-AnchorDown-Lattes!!

Anchor Done.

Yes, Vanderbilt is the Starbucks of the SEC - overvalued; a presumptive superior product surrounded by bigger, bolder blends.

When you lose to Vandy...
...you give shirtless, hatless vandy fan a reason to try rooting for tackle football again.
...you've probably also lost your virginity to Penn Wagers' and his sorority sisters of Yella Omega Flagga.
...you bring shame upon your house. A hunnerd fold.
...you have woken up from a nightmare into an even more nightmarish reality whose best possible ending is the Autozone Liberty Bowl.
...your pants are around your ankles. And not in a good way.
...what? Are you f---in' kidding me? You had ONE job asshole!
...your punter must've missed the tackle.
...you've pissed all over Homecoming like that drunk guy that's about to be face down in your neighbor's flower bed.
...you think you lost the road map for getting to Atlanta in December when in fact you never really had it to begin with.
...you've dropped your brand new iPhone7.6.1 into a bloody pool of piranhas. Way to go, Shitbreath.
...their mascot's unibrow lawyers up, thereby ending its interview with Dateline's Chris Hansen.
...God, you're pathetic.
...you force me to have forgetful New Years Eve parties.
...you couldn't out-transition James Franklin's two-star transition lenses.
...you've been surpassed as relevant by a team with a stadium the size of Ralphie May's garden tub.
...you couldn't possibly suck any worse than you suck at that particular moment of sucktastic suckitude.
...you've been outscored by a team that is overseen by something called a "vice-chancellor".
...the 1890s called and they want their outhouses back.
...and all the pretty girls would rather dance with the Dallas Ebola victim than your sorry, worthless, pathetic ass.

Homecoming. Awaygoing. Anchors down.
So long Sanford. Tomorrow is our last hurrah for awhile. When we meet again I'll be the happy drunk wearing Pinkel's visor with a pocketful of gnawed off razorback bones, dragging Muschamp's dignity by the scruff of his neck with one hand and pulling a Radio Flyer wagon full of all of Kentucky's finest bourbon with the other.

Or I'll be poor bastard looking for his drunk loser pants.

Their 40 times are irrelevant. #AnchorDerp

Either way, it's too long. Why didn't we talk about this over the summer in all those posts about the schedule? And why do we have to spend our last evening together with that creepy ass midshipman traipsing on our lawn? Speaking of our hallowed sod, please don't let these overly precocious, Ivy League rejected, snobby, wannabe Southern assholes anywhere near our Hedges, mascot mausoleum, or our midfield Power G.

Hate's a strong word Vandy. But I just can't trust you. For instance, Robbie Caldwell was the best thing to accidentally happen to Vanderbilt Football. And you ran him off like a big ole lovable dog that everyone in the neighborhood enjoys the company of...except you. You drop that anchor in your yard, misuse five dollar words while discussing a basketball season that is a month away, and kick that dog to the curb when he drops that old, dirty tennis ball at your feet.

That. Yes, that is the reason you can't have nice things Vanderpbilt. Your rallying cry calls for you to not just slow down, but to stop altogether. You think you're better than Robbie Caldwell, but in reality he's better than you. You don't deserve his charm and relaxed wit. You don't deserve random shirtless, hatless, angst-ridden fan. You don't deserve to be named after a classic American funk band. And you sure as shit don't deserve the sympathy of SEC officiating.

But don't get me started on the clusterf--k that was last year in Nashvegas. Enough. Let us bow our heads...Dear Lord, please let Malcolm Mitchell catch a 238 yards pass from Houston Madsun, despite the fact that he's wrapped in bubble wrap as a very cautious precaution. And also our family dentist asks that you keep the cotton candy guy away from our section. Thanks. Amen.

Week by week

When you're a young, inexperienced unit, and guys around you are dropping like flies, you really have no choice but to live in the moment.

"Everybody is going to go off this one game, just like they did when we beat Clemson," Green said following the 35-32 victory over the Vols. "They thought we were the best team in the country. We don't pay any attention to it. We go week by week, and we know what we've got to do.

"We've improved a lot since the spring, and we've improved a lot since the first game. When you're in that first game, you don't really know what's going on until after you watch the film. The more film you watch, the more you've got to do to correct it, and that's what we're doing."

Rico Johnson latest victim of the "secondary curse"

Who "favorites" a tweet like that anyway?

Gentry Estes is reporting that Johnson is dealing with a "recently discovered long-term medical issue." Georgia will likely place him on a medical redshirt, thereby allowing him to stay on scholarship while not counting against the 85 man limit.

Losing Johnson would be another blow for a thin and inexperienced Georgia secondary that has dealt with attrition for various reasons for much of the past year.

A former standout at Swainsboro (Ga.) High School, Johnson signed with UGA as a wide receiver earlier this year after a season of prep school. He switched to cornerback prior to the start of preseason practices. He earned a spot with the second-string and has played in each of Georgia's four games to this point, either on defense or special teams, totalling five tackles.

Ugh.

Just another day at the office for Azubike

Stopping Todd Gurley is no different than any other SEC Saturday.

"Todd Gurley is just another running back in the SEC we're going to have to tackle," Vanderbilt linebacker Caleb Azubike said. "I feel like given the strength and given the size of our defense we are going to be able to handle that quite properly."

Maybe he can use his cool contacts to see him better.

Looking over the SEC East

Even though all six teams are four or five games in (except Florida who paid for an extra bye week....), the waters seem even muddier than they were to start the season. Remember when Sakerlina was the trendy pick and the Gators seemed so sexy to the tv suits? Now the only team without a legitimate shot is Vanderbilt.

So seems a good time to look at each team, their record, and their remaining schedule.

Missouri (1-0)
Remaining games in order - BYE, Georgia, @Florida, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, BYE, @A&M, @Tenn, Arkansas

Outlook - Control their own destiny and get a week before their two toughest tests, Georgia next week at home and in College Station on 11/15. Was the Indiana loss just a blip? Have they truly replaced the playmakers on both sides of the ball that they had in their division winning 2013 season?

South Carolina (2-2)
Remaining games - @Kentucky, BYE, Furman, @Auburn, Tennessee, BYE, @Florida, South Alabama, @Clemson

Outlook - Essentially have two weeks to work on that trip to Auburn, which could make or break their season. Privately, the OBC is hoping Georgia beats Missouri and then loses Todd Gurley to an alien abduction.

Georgia (1-1)
Remaining games - Vanderbilt, @Missouri, @Arkansas, BYE, Florida, @Kentucky, Auburn, Charleston Southern, Georgia Tech

Outlook - Once again control our own destiny. If Pruitt can find a way for the secondary to balance out his pass rush some, Georgia could cruise. Especially if Tennessee continues to trend upwards.

Florida (1-1)
Remaining games - @Tennessee, LSU, Missouri, BYE, Georgia, @Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Eastern Kentucky, @FSU

Outlook - Only way they stay in the race is if Muschamp can convince his team to play for him not to lose his job. And also, only if Danny Wuerffel walks back through that door.

Kentucky (1-1)
Remaining games - South Carolina, Louisiana Monroe, @LSU, Miss State, @Missouri, Georgia, @Tennessee, BYE, Louisville

Outlook - Playing better under Stoops. But in October and November is when a team's quality of depth really comes into play.

Tennessee (0-1)
Remaining games - Florida, Chattanooga, @Ole Miss, Alabama, @South Carolina, BYE, Kentucky, Missouri, @Vanderbilt

Outlook - Still looking for that signature win, but it seems now a matter of when and not if. A difficult schedule and a young offensive line will make it hard to win the division this season.

Vanderbilt (0-3)
Remaining games - @Georgia, Charleston Southern, BYE, @Missouri, Old Dominion, Florida, BYE, @Miss State, Tennessee

Outlook - When does basketball season start?

"He's got more blitzes than I can count."

Nice piece by Emerson here on the marriage of Coach Pruitt's scheme and the load of talent Coach Sherrer has at outside linebacker.

Georgia has 11 sacks this year, tied for 30th nationally for sacks per game and tied for fourth in the SEC. But that’s only part of the story. The NCAA doesn’t track quarterback pressures, but Georgia credits itself with 52 this season, easily on pace to eclipse last year’s total of 109.

Jenkins (nine) and Floyd (seven) lead the way, but perhaps most tantalizing is that Carter has six in more limited playing time.

That's quite a wrecking crew, and it's no wonder Pruitt tries to get them on the field at the same time. Speed rushers with long arms and bad intentions.

Those pressures are almost as good as a sack. Jenkins opined that defenders need to be about a yard away from the quarterback to effect the throw.

“Getting him to where he’s not able to step through his throws. That’s a minimum thing we want to accomplish,” Jenkins said. “But really affecting the quarterback, we want to mess with his head, is getting him on the ground. Because if I were a quarterback, I know I’d hate getting up play after play after play.”

Against Tennessee, Jenkins was credited with six pressures but just one sack.

“I think I counted five hits on the quarterback where he threw the ball at the last second,” Jenkins said. “And really after the first time that’s when I said, ‘All right I’m gonna punish him for throwing that ball.’ ”

And they're all licking their chops thinking about getting after Vandy's young quarterback this Saturday.

Why Sony Michel will be missed

On one hand he's just a freshman at a deep position that includes a Heisman candidate.

On the other....well, Coach Ekeler sums it up.

So, is Gurley an option at QB?

Either the star tailback's reputation is growing beyond actual statistics, or Pinkel is giving Bobo a suggestion.

Hey, Missouri is another team getting an extra week to prepare for Georgia. I say let them spend as much energy on Gurley under center as possible.
