On Hate, Munson, Richt leaving, BCS, little Petrino, and more

    There haven't been the upsets or shockers like a seven days ago, but still, it's been a pretty quality week of football.
    And Rivalry Day is here.
    One feeling has stuck all week regarding The COFH Bowl - Clean Old Fashioned Hate - in Atlanta:
    That after a sluggish first quarter, Georgia starts to roll. And should that happen, it'll get a little testy.

Closure impossible in Sandusky scandal, Paterno affair

    I listened, talked to a variety of people - some smart, some close-minded, some ignorant of the facts, some lucid - and cringed while watching some TV.
    And it was numbing.
    I grew up about two hilly hours from Penn State, didn't grow up a Penn State fan.
    Between adulthood and the job, I never really warmed to Joe Paterno. I found him fairly arrogant and smug and snotty, and part of this "bigger than the university" arrogance that we got from Bowden, and to an extent, Bear. This garbage about letting a coach - a coach - retire on his own terms is a billboard for ignorance and idiocy.
    And it is of decades of manipulation, and yet the latest example of how remarkably misguided the priorities of a large chunk of this country are.
