Accountability

Earlier this week, we heard from CMR that Washaun Ealey won't start Saturday because he missed a block against FL that led to one of our 4 interceptions on the day. Richt wants to hold #24 accountable for his missed assignment and give Caleb King the start this Saturday. That sounds great and I like the players dealing with consequences for their actions on and off the field.....

But, where the hell is the accountability for the rest of the team??? How many times have we seen our senior safety and senior CB get burned for TDs this year? How about holding our 5th year senior QB accountable for flinging 2 passes towards the sidelines and not getting the ball out of bounds when he could have just eaten the sack (once against UT and then against FL on Ealey's missed block)? How about sitting our whole offensive line for not opening up a single hole all year long (minus Samuel's long run vs. ARK)? How bout firing Willie's ass for letting our defense become progressively worse every single year since he took over the defense 5 damn years ago? If we are going to start holding everyone accountable for mistakes, we can't start and stop with Ealey.

Our starting QB has thrown at least 1 pick every single game! Is our bench really so bad that no other QB has gotten a single meaningful snap through 8 games for a team that is 4-4??? Give someone else a chance in a real situation and let's see how they handle it.

Our pass defense has been as bad as we've seen in Athens in a long, long time - how many lineup changes have we seen there??? ZERO!!!

I would love to see what someone else could do at a few positions on our team. I am all for Richt holding players accountable. But do it across the board - this is ridiculous.

Back to Football

In no way do I think CMR will be fired and in now way does he deserve to be fired.
But a little hypothetical might be fun.. Starting the day after the Tech game, Would you want CMR with the unknown of what staff changes he might make or would you want Brian Kelly out of Cincinnati and a whole new staff except for Garner and Searles?????

Just an interesting fact that has no relation to this question... But Cinci has ZERO lost fumbles (only team in country) and 4 interceptions on the YEAR !!!!!

Get your skis shined up...

5 Games for the Bank Account (Halloween edition)

I'm getting the mid-to-late season, UGA isn't as good as I thought they'd be, Halloween blues. The only cure is to try and make some bank (legally, of course) on a few college football games. Here are 5 to keep you in the mood, 4 favorites and a big underdog:

New Mexico State (+43.5) at Ohio State
I had to check a few places to make sure this was correct. The Buckeyes shouldn't be getting 7 touchdowns against most Ohio high school teams. New Mexico State has won 3 games this year, and while they won't come anywhere close in this one, anything over 40 is way too much.

Georgia Tech (-12) at Vanderbilt
I believe Tech has covered as a favorite in 5 straight games. They'll comfortably cover this one, although I'd give my left pinky to see them lose in Nashville.

Houston (-6.5) vs Southern Miss
Southern Miss is 5-0 at home but 0-3 on the road. 2 of those road losses were to UAB and Louisville. Houston is the best team they'll play all year. No reason to think Houston won't cover a touchdown at home this week.

Idaho (-3.5) vs Louisiana Tech
In the WAC this year, Louisiana Tech has probably been the biggest disappointment, while Idaho has probably been the biggest surprise. Probably because Louisiana Tech is playing in the Western Athletic Conference even though they are barely West of the Mississippi River. This was evidenced in a loss at Utah State last week. The long trip gets them again this week.

Oregon State (-10) vs UCLA
Oregon State almost pulled it out at USC last weekend, so they'll be out to flex their muscles at home against a UCLA team that is struggling mightily right now, having dropped 4 straight.
