This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If UGA is as good as advertised, they should... by Scoop80
be able to cover a 6 pt spread v. AL barring serious injury/questionable officiating/funny bounces. AL has played 9 opponents w/ a pulse. It looked good against 3 of them (da U, Ole Miss, MS St). It was so-so v. TN (24-17 after 3, blew it open in Q4). It did not look good in losing to 8-4 aTm and in beating UF, LSU, Ark, and AU.
Tide played 5 games decided by 7 or less, and it went 4-1 in those games. It nearly went to OT v. 6-6 UF, and it went to 4 OT v. 6-6 AU (which was playing w/ a 2d string QB).
I'm still not 100% sure that UGA is as good as they are reputed to be given the down year that the SEC East experienced. If they are that good, AL will have to bring its A+ game (for this year's team) to compete w/ UGA.
