Open Mike...Clever or Classless?

Not long after shamelessly slandering the University of Georgia's football program, Orlando Sentinel columnist, Mike Bianchi, continues to throw daggers at the SEC. Here's what he had to say about the Crimson Tide:

"In Alabama, cheating is as much a part of the football lore as the houndstooth cap worn by Bear Bryant and that purty dress worn by Mike DuBose's secretary...Roll Tide? Alabama's rallying cry should be, "We Lied!'"

Bianchi continues throwing stones, stating, "And maybe too, Alabama should get rid of its elephant mascot and replace it with a pig. What better animal to symbolize the dirtiest, stinkiest program in recent NCAA history."

After reading his latest ramblings, I realize that Bianchi is desperate for hits on his site. So desperate, in fact, that he's resorted to playing the heel card. In a twisted way, the concept kinda makes sense. Controversy generates interest and this dude is banking on the fact that he can get under your skin. He may be an idiot, but Bianchi is at least one on a mission.

Since I'm extremely bored at the moment, I've added a link to Bianchi's Bama bashing article. Click on the title of this post to check it out.

Columnist dogs Georgia

If you're not reading Bill King's Junkyard Blawg on AJC.com, you outta be. I often start my day, by reading his thoughts on the SEC. And on this day, I got a bit riled up after reading the ignorant words of the Orlando Sentinel's Mike Bianchi via King.

In summary, Bianchi calls UGA the most overrated program in the history of college football. Quite naturally, I take issue with that. Yes, there are times when I view the world through Red and Black tinted glasses. That's how I was raised and that's how I'm proud to be. But, Bianchi is way off base in his comparison of UGA to South Carolina. This disrespectful dig at the Dawgs, is nothing more than a lame azz attempt to generate interest in his Floridian flavored column. Where's the journalism in that?

We live in a world of media sensationalism, where insults become motivation and inspiration comes from unlikely places. So, this UGA fan would like to thank Mr. Bianchi for his bulletin board material. Every Dawg on Mark Richt's roster will read his "article." As a matter of fact, it's probably been framed already in the Butts-Mehre Building on campus. And, Bianchi just gave Georgia an additional reason to dig deep and knock that Gator sized chip off their shoulder.
