Chuck Oliver of radio station 680 the Fan asked about it right after the Alabama game, then apologized for his timing. Was he right to ask, or right to recant?

Georgia football coach Mark Richt got into it with an Atlanta radio host last weekend after falling just short of upsetting Alabama for the SEC Championship and an invitation to the national title game. The question from 680 the Fan host Chuck Oliver: "There are people who say you and Aaron Murray specifically come up short on the biggest stage against the biggest opponents. Do you have any response to that?" Richt didn't like the question and, after challenging Oliver to make the accusation himself, didn't really answer it. He did come back after ending his conference to say, "If anybody thinks our guys didn't play their tail off and Aaron Murray didn't play his tail off, they're crazy. That's unbelievable that somebody would even bring …

If the Bulldogs beat Bama, they're likely headed to Miami to take on Notre Dame for the BCS title.
Well, here we are, on the brink of the SEC championship game, a game that many doubted the Georgia Bulldogs would reach this year, but which could propel them to the contest for the National Championship. The Bulldogs haven't won a national title since they beat Notre Dame in 1980, despite fielding one of the most consistently successful teams in the country. As Dan Wolken of USA Today put it, "There aren't many opportunities to put 30 years of frustration aside as a program, but Georgia is on the doorstep of one of them." To get in the door, the Bulldogs have to defeat No. 2 Alabama, no easy feat. Seth Emerson reports for the Ledger-Enquirer that the teams are pretty evenly matched, with Georgia bringing the nation's No. 1 quarterback in …

The No. 1 Tide rallies, and Georgia wins. Share your thoughts.
It will go down as a memorable comeback. Saturday night in Baton Rouge, La., -- one of the toughest places for a visiting team in college football -- top-ranked Alabama pulled off a stirring 21-17 victory. Starting from their own 28 with less than two minutes remaining, the Tide drove the distance for the winning TD, a 28-yard screen pass from A.J. McCarron to T.J. Yeldon being the winning blow. "We told the players they would have to overcome a lot of adversity to win a game here," Bama coach Nick Saban told al.com. "When things went bad and the momentum of the game changed, that's what we kept talking to them about. They kept their poise and we kept playing, we kept competing. -- Courtesy CBSSports.com, here are video highlights of …

The day many SEC football fans have been waiting for has arrived. Alabama and LSU will tangle -- again -- Monday night in the Superdome in New Orleans to determine the Bowl Championship Series champion. It's controversial for several reasons. One, LSU already has beaten Alabama once this season, during the regular season in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Thus, the Crimson Tide could win the national title game despite not winning their own conference. And Oklahoma State got nosed out of the title game despite winning the Big 12. Also, the BCS itself is the subject of much criticism. Its matchups are determined by both computer rankings and human voters. Thus, the inference of political influence is constant. It has the word "championship" in its title, …

While the record for loosing in big games is a fact that coach Richt should address w/o being asked it seems he is too accepting of this situation. I think a more appropriate question would have been the question of why the ball wasn't grounded at the end of the game. It was. With the QB signaling to the sideline to ground the ball he was wrongly over ruled. Coach is right - the kids played their… more ›
