Man, I wonder if anyone has suggested this to Steve Shaw yet.
It costs $300 to challenge a gymnastics score at the Olympics. Seriously. $300 cash has to be handed to the judges. Utterly amazing..

Stewart Mandel forecasts a lukewarm debut for Kirby Smart.
SEC East No. 3: Georgia (7-5, 4-4 SEC)
New coach Kirby Smart will likely be relying on a true freshman QB (Jacob Eason), not an ideal scenario in the SEC.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that'll go over too well.

False bravado is false.
Hoo boy, Auburn.
… But that presentation does help explain what Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs meant when he said this to myself and Chris Carlin last week in an interview for a SiriusXM show: "There are 12 other programs [in the SEC] that would love to be in our position."

Whither the quarterbacks?, ctd.
I've got a follow up question for some of you guys who think Smart's just playing hide and seek with Gene Chizik on who the starter will be. Per Chip Towers,
Smart expressed a level of frustration with regard to the ongoing quarterback competition. Once again, he indicated that none of the three played to significantly better than the others to the point of establishing some distance on the depth chart. So Jacob Eason, Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey will continue to rotate repetitions with the No. 1 offense evenly. But they can expect to that pared down at the end of this week. Scrimmage No. 2 coming this next Saturday will be a big determining factor.
So, if that's the case, how does Smart parcel out the reps after the next scrimmage?
The Big 12 has a plan.
Even if it isn't readily apparent to the rest of us…
