From the Other Sideline – Georgia

Cory Brinson (UGACory from TheBlawgHouse.com) is a college football writer and twitter personality (@theblawghouse) that writes mainly about Georgia football. Cory writes with an X's and O's perspective and, while a big Bulldog fan, still writes using the facts of the game, not opinions (his words). You may remember him from last year when he was part of one of the most commented-on posts of the season.

1. Has Mark Richt lost control of anything in your life?

Ha, a zinger from the start... I would only expect it from you, Blogle. Actually, thank God, no - unless in some strange scenario that we happen to win out, then he may cause me to lose control of my finances to head to a National Championship game. Luckily, though, the reason that meme is funny is because (knock on wood) we haven't had too much trouble lately.

2. What's the reason for Georgia's inconsistency this year?

I'd say the two reasons we have been inconsistent are the offensive line and the defensive cohesion.

From the Other Sideline – New Mexico State

Teddy Feinberg is the Sports Editor at the Las Cruces Sun-News and has been covering New Mexico State football the past six years. He can be reached on Twitter @TeddyFeinberg while his work can be found at lcsun-news.com or on his blog, crucessports.blogspot.com.

1. What has been one positive from the Aggies' 1-7 season?

The biggest bright spot came last week when the Aggies held Louisiana Tech to 28 points (a 28-14 NMSU loss). The Bulldogs entered the game averaging 56 points per game (No. 1 in the nation in scoring offense) and imagining them scoring 60 to 70 was not difficult. But the Aggies looked like a different team on the defensive side of the ball, covering and tackling better than they have all season. In truth, the Aggie defense has gradually gotten better their last three games, but their performance against Louisiana Tech was nothing short of shocking and astounding.

2. Who are two players that Auburn fans need to look out for?

Wide receiver Austin Franklin is a natural-born athlete who could play at multiple schools. After a tough season last year, cornerback Jeremy Harris has come around and has been a standout in recent weeks, covering some of the WAC's top receivers.

From the Other Sideline – Texas A&M

This past summer, Gabe Bock answered a few questions about the Aggies for us. I asked him to do it again, but he gave some lame excuse about having a 10-day old baby or something. Like that's a big deal. So I asked him to recommend anyone else and he said... Olin Buchanan (@olinbuchanan) is columnist/assignments editor for TexAgs.com. He previously worked as a Texas A&M beat writer for the Bryan-College Station Eagle and the Austin American-Statesman. He also was a national CFB writer for Rivals.com and Yahoo! Sports.

1. What is the first thing Texas A&M fans think of when Auburn comes up?

Winning a national championship with Cameron Newton.

2. Does the A&M fanbase expect anything other than win?

I think the fans of almost any team that's 5-2 would expect to beat a 1-6 opponent. Texas A&M fans almost always expects to win, but it has had enough disappointment in recent years that nothing is taken for granted.

From the Other Sideline – Vanderbilt

Christian D'Andrea did our first ever Vanderbilt-based "Other Sideline" this summer. It was so intellectually superior to anything that I've ever read that I had to bring him back for more. Christian is a manager and editor at Anchor of Gold, and you can find him on Twitter at @TrainIsland... when he's not in study hall. He's not too high on the 'Dores, but high enough to pick them to win.

1. Prior to the season, the excitement level for Vanderbilt football was higher than it had been in a while, due to James Franklin's tireless PR efforts. Has the slow start put a damper on that excitement?

It has hurt in terms of whipping up casual fan interest in Nashville, but his efforts are still going a long way to expand the fan base. The Commodores will sell out back-to-back home games for the first time in ages on Saturday, and that's a great start towards building the kind of culture we need to see at Vandy in order to breed success. It also helps that Vandy's slow start has come against very good teams - their four losses are to Georgia, South Carolina, Northwestern, and Florida.

The 'Dores had a chance to win each of those games in the fourth quarter, with the exception of the Georgia blowout. Seeing this team be competitive - even when they're playing poorly - has helped that level of optimism linger.

From the Other Sideline – Ole Miss

Jake Adams of Rebel Nation is a lawyer, lifelong Ole Miss fan, sports junkie, and wannabe famous novelist. He answered a few questions about the Ole Miss Rebel Black Land Shark Bears for us last year and this summer as well. Considering that this is his third appearance the 'Blogle, I'd call him a regular. You can follow him on Twitter at @adamsjaken or on Facebook.

1. Come on. Just let us win. I mean, you're Ole Miss. You're supposed to lose. Please?

I always knew that's the way Auburn fans thought of this game.

2. But seriously, what's the excitement level like in Oxford for this game? Are fans expecting a win?

Ole Miss hasn't won an SEC game since October 2010. To say Ole Miss fans are "expecting" a win might be an overstatement. How about "cautiously optimistic"? The Rebels are favored. Auburn does look pretty bad. In any other setting the fans of a team playing Auburn this week would be within their rights to expect a win against the Tigers, but given how difficult an SEC win has been to come by for Ole Miss I think fans are just hopeful the streak will finally end on Saturday.

From the Other Sideline – Arkansas

Flint Harris (@Flint_HolyTurf) is an Arkansas graduate that runs and writes for HolyTurf.com, a site all about the passion of college football, specifically the SEC and Big 12. Like most Arkansas fans, he's pretty down on his Razorbacks right now. So much that he wants that scumbag Bobby Petrino back on his sidelines. It hurts me to see him like this (I mean the guy loves Momma G's and Toomer's lemonade), but I hope it continues for one more week.

1. Would you take Bobby Petrino back right now?

Where do we sign? Yes, yes, yes. Look, Petrino made some awful mistakes off the field, but he is not our father, pastor, etc…he is a football coach. He is paid to win football games, and he was doing that. You don’t hear Bama fans complaining about Saban being a jerk do you? What will make it worse is Petrino will go somewhere else in the SEC and win, while Arkansas struggles to turn it around.

2. What's the number one problem that Arkansas has right now?

Good question. Petrino did have one clear coaching downfall: recruiting. He was so good at developing players and coaching them up he could win with less talented players, but there is a dearth of talent on the roster. This season is a waste, but there is not a ton of hope for great young players. Make no mistake about, this is a total rebuilding project.
