    God, what a truly asinine decision that Mark Richt makes in the Music City Bowl.

    His team is losing 20-16 and there is 1:32 left to go in the game. His team is at the BC 47 to 49 yard-line.

    The game is on the line; what will Georgia do?

    Would you believe punt? When I saw the punt team go out for Georgia, I started laughing. I could not believe that he would do this.

    Of course, Georgia only had 2 timeouts left instead of 3 & of course, they were unable to block the punt. Of course, they got the ball back but had no timeouts left and were at their 45 yard-line with 14 seconds left. Of course, their QB, Greene, gets sacked to end the game. Of course, they lose the game.

    Which, IMO, was fitting after such a stupid call. That's twice Mark Richt has done that. At the end of the Auburn game, the bonehead calls for a run into the middle of the line with 9 seconds left and no timeouts. Guess what? Georgia got stuffed and time ran out before they could run another play...Dawgs lose 24-17.

    I'm still in shock over this call.

    Hey Manny....

    It looks like the Georgia head coach has been CLOSELY studying the Dave Campo philosophy and wisdom of football.

    God bless him.

    Without coaches like him, how would we ever recognize the good strategists?

    This way, we now have something by which to measure the others. A "point of no return", if you will.

    If you cross this point, don't bother coming back. ;)

    Utterly, utterly, stupid call. Dawgs should have kept Donnan.
