It’s a fine fall day in Athens, with sunshine and temperatures peaking out in the mid-50s this afternoon before shifting to classic Georgia/Auburn weather for kickoff: mid-40’s with a 99% chance of malice.
As a prelude, the college football powers that be are serving up some choice late season matchups in the 3:30 slot. #8 Washington State travels to Colorado for a 3:30 start on ESPN. I still can’t quite buy into the notion of “eighth-ranked Washington State” but hey, here we are. And while I wouldn’t want it to come at the expense of the Red and Black’s chances, the thought of Mike Leach participating in the College Football Playoff makes me chortle like Uncle Verne watching Knowshon Marinovich break for daylight.
