Ahhhhh … first pumpkin spike latte’ of the year from Starbucks. Now it’s finally starting to feel like winter.
Here are a few notes to perhaps warm up your Monday afternoon.
- Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray has a bruised sternum and bruised knee, according to head trainer Ron Courson, the team announced. Murray’s status is day-to-day.
Murray’s status bears watching, but I’m not sure it’s anything to get worked up about, especially since the Bulldogs don’t play until next week.
- In more injury news, Georgia men’s basketball star Trey Thompkins hasn’t been cleared to practice yet. He is out for Tuesday’s game against Colorado, and probably for this weekend’s game at Saint Louis.
When asked if next week’s Old Spice Classic was a good target for Thompkins’ return, head coach Mark Fox said it was something “to hope for.” Thompkins has a high ankle sprain.
Fox seemed a bit concerned at Thompkins’ lack of progress the past few days, saying the player has “plateuad a bit.” But that doesn’t mean there’s been a setback.
“If there’s a time of year for it to happen, it’s now,” Fox said. “But we’ve got some tough games on the schedule and we’ve gotta get him back.”
- A.J. Green has been named one of 10 semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation’s top receiver. In seven games this year, the junior has 41 catches for 674 yards and nine touchdowns.
- Georgia’s baseball program signed six more players, including the son of a former major league slugger. Dante Bichette Jr., from Orlando, Fla., is a right-handed hitter, much like his father. Bichette Sr. hit 274 home runs in 14 years in the majors, most notably with Colorado.

Everyone should check out this article that talks about the Cam Newton situation. It's the best I have seen so far.

A biased OPINION without any supportive facts...grasp at straws puppy dogs...
I love pumpkin spike lattes. Get a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks and add about 3 cups of gin. Delicious.

- I'd like to think Clay Travis is smarter than a former cop from Columbus...
Mike, you can't really think that people are grasping at straws? Since when does the FBI investigate rumors? Or do you think this whole thing is a giant conspiracy? Do you remember the last time a situation like this happened? Reggie Bush. What was the outcome? Come on, man. I expect more from someone with a law enforcement background.
Aaron Murray is going to put a hurtin' on Auburn for the next few years.
But we still need to embarrasses Tech first.
Mike you must be grasping the same donation box as Cecil Newton
Mike, Auburn was on probation in 1957 and 1993 and y'all went undefeated both seasons.This is what Auburn does or more like HAS to do to try and compete with Bama. Embrace your cheating history ,you are the laughingstock of college football. Be proud , your dirty play has gotten national media attention also.So, if Bama spears Newton and body slams him way after he throws it,and most of all after getting blocked twists their body to go helmet first to Newtons knee and acts like it was an accident- heck,if they use an ineligible player, I'm sure you'll be alright with it and not complain.After all you're alright with Auburn doing it.
Mike, I really hope you keep visiting once the sanctions drop.
What's funnier is the fact that Mike is a Pastor and is on here talking trash. Would Jesus do that??
Thanks, ChrisDawg- that made for a very interesting read. It amazes me how people bury their heads in the sand. Auburn would not have hired an expensive lawyer (who also happens to be a former NCAA investigator) if there really were nothing to be concerned with.
I really was hoping it wasn't going to turn out this way, but the evidence that Newton has a huge sense of entitlement has come through in just the things that have been proven as fact: buying the obviously stolen laptop, committing academic fraud, committing and ignoring all the traffic violations... and it may be old, but I doubt very seriously he's changed-- and his look at me! celebrating with the crowd and not his teammates on Saturday seems to back that up.
I'm firmly convinced that the reason he played at all is because Chizik said "Oh well, if he's ruled inelegible, the season is over anyway; may as well ride the string out."
Everybody who's been around the kid says that he's humble, polite, respectful... in short, everything you would want out of a representative of your school-- but it's not impossible to behave that way and still have a wrongful sense of entitlement, such as "I'm not going to pay these piddling tickets, because I'm a football star. They'll just go away," or "yeah, I'll buy that laptop because the football program will protect me... if the cops come after it, we can just call it a misunderstanding" Improbable, but not impossible; I've seen it before.
Jesus wouldn't, but Cam Newton's dad probably would...
