UGA signs H&A deals with Texas and Clemson, but they are ten years off.

UGA and Texas have never played in Athens.

I'll note again how facile it is to say "Florida is over ranked" and how hard it can be to replace them with another team.
I think the committee is too enamored with the UGA-UF-LSU trio.  Georgia has a case to be where it is, but LSU and Florida don't.

Don't people remember the SNL skit where they (Christopher Guest and Eddie Murphy) broke and then melted down Doug Flutie's Heisman Trophy?   Part of the gag was the incessant showing of the Hail Mary replay, which Flutie (played by Rich Hall) is tired of seeing and talking about.   They keep going to the replay because the other guest (Desmond Tutu, played by Eddie Murphy) breaks the trophy on the table.  Tutu just won the Nobel Peace Prize and is annoyed with all of the focus on Flutie and  in order to distract Flutie from the shenanigans which were occurring outside of Flutie's eyesight, they try to weld it back together while Flutie watches the play for the 100th time.

Per SRS, LSU is 7th, Florida 18th

I do need to get into better shape as well.

My body type is such that I'll never even approach "normal" BMI. At 6'5", I'm supposed to be somewhere between 190-210#. I think I'd look emaciated anything below 220. My doctor has one of these Inbody scanners in his office, and after looking at my results expressly told me that BMI is completely irrelevant for me. 235# seems like a feasible lean weight for me.

That said, I've been lazy of late, and I'm probably pushing 265# right now. That's just not right.  

Luckily, at 40, I'm still in the age range where it's not particularly difficult. I'm planning to cut back on the beer, adding in some strength exercises, and probably do a lot more walking. My diet isn't even bad [except the beer], so if I drop those barley-infused calories, I should be able to get it back into reasonable levels soon.
through my employer we have our own clinics, gym, nutritionists, trainers, chiropractors, pharmacy....  all that on each of our campuses.   Across the board they say ignore BMI.   Measure your body fat and shoot for around 20% and you'll be fine.

My employer built gyms at the various sites, and almost no one used them.  They actually were pretty expensive relative to "normal gyms".

The folks who did use them were folks who worked out anyway.  The folks who were obese of course didn't use them at all.

Waste of money.

the driving force is $$$.... those three will always benefit from the interest they drive.  I'd go as far as to suggest the 'helmet factor' is closely related to how much revenue a school promises to generate as one hand washes the other and regardless of tradition (but paralleling that, too, as there is far more data and 'proof' available from well established programs).

We've had the opposite impact.   Since health/activity/behaviors and premiums are tied together, the gyms are being used and so are the trainers.   While most companies are experiencing increased costs in benefits, we've been relatively flat for the last 10 years.

Even though I've been going to the gym on this ship almost every day, I'm gonna have a lot of work to do before I head to Cabo in January. I can feel it already and we've got another week on this thing. Damn, the food is awesome. And the drinks. Lots and lots of drinks.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

My buddy and I used to walk after lunch if the weather was tolerable, and we could easily look into the "fitness center", and there would be 1-2-3 people in there, maybe, in a center with a capacity for 30 or so (they had about 30 lockers).  I've been by just after work and seen the same thing consistently.  And the obese people would not bother of course.

We had a nice fitness center in our village that cost me $25 a YEAR, including pool and tennis and etc., so no way was I up for paying more than that per month.

The fitness room in our building here is a bit rudimentary and space limited, but "free".

We were supposed to get some kind of break on our health insurance costs if we wore a "fitbit" kind of thing around, but that never happened.  My retiree health insurance keeps going up in price of course, I think I'm at $225 a month now, never use it.

Next year for me is the Big One.

Is there any difference between the terms "home and home" series and "home and away" series"?
