Just a few tidbits about this weeks opponent. Nothing special. Crockett will be in attendence for this one. Got a date with the old lady. Should be a fun time regardless of the outcome. Not expecting much, thats the motto apparently. Obviously would be thrilled with a victory. I get the sense that this game is a "Hot Seat" game. Obviously after getting drug through the mud against Vandy last week there are many who are fed up with Nutt. My question to you is, who else is going to coach? I beg your pardon, but the Rebel program isn't exactly one of the most sought after jobs out there. Just saying, give the guy a little time. He has obviously done a better than bad job of recruiting and there are young and inexperienced guys on the field. These things take time to mold together. As for Georgia, I don't think they are pleased with Richt over the past two seasons. If the Rebs beat Georgia in any way, shape or form of convincing fashion, they may fire Richt in the locker room after the game. I doubt that happens, but you get the idea. Hopefully the Rebs can "Do Work" on Saturday. It would certainly make my weekend better.
