Looking out for Caleb King, four others
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Five players I’m watching in the SEC this spring:
1. Caleb King, RB, Georgia: Since we know what Knowshon Moreno can do, now we find out if Mr. King is ready for prime time. I’ve seen enough film on King to know that he can run the ball. Frankly, that’s the easy part of being a college running back. What we don’t know is how quickly he will pick up the protection packages. You can’t put a young running back on the field if you aren’t sure he can pick up the changes in protections made by the quarterback at the line of scrimmage. It will get your quarterback killed. OC Mike Bobo is a good teacher and King should pick it up pretty quickly. But that will determine how much he gets on the field in 2008.
2. Emmanuel Moody, RB, Florida: With Tim Tebow, the Heisman Trophy winner, and WR Percy Harvin back, this could be the only missing piece to making the Gators one of the best offenses in the country. Moody, who ran for 459 yards as a freshman at Southern Cal two years ago, sat out last season. The Texas native was highly recruited but found himself on a depth chart with 10 great backs. This spring we’ll start finding out if he’s the real deal. If he is, the Gators will give Georgia all they can handle in 2008.
3. Javan Snead, QB, Ole Miss: Snead started at Texas but lost the quarterback competition to Colt McCoy. So he transferred to Ole Miss and sat out last season. One of the hallmarks of the short Ed Orgeron era was exceedingly poor play at quarterback. Snead should prove himself to be the guy in Oxford this spring. But head coach Houston Nutt and new OC Kent Austin must figure out how much they can turn Snead loose in this league as a rookie.
4. Ricky Jean-Francois, DT, LSU: It’s hard to replace a player like Glenn Dorsey, one of the best DTs to ever play in the SEC. But Ricky Jean-Francois will be closer to Dorsey’s talent level than most folks think. He had to sit out all of last season after being suspended for academic dishonesty. He became eligible for the SEC championship game against Tennessee last December and was then named the defensive MVP in the BCS championship. If this guy turns out to be as good as I think he is, LSU will have enough players to win the SEC West again.
5. Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky: Coach Rich Brooks doesn’t hype players but he’s told me more than once that Lindley, from Hiram, is one of the best cover corners in college football. I watched him play in person three times last year. He’s not flashy. He just makes a lot of plays. He’s a lock down cover corner, supports the run well, and makes the big play when needed. I’m just watching this spring to make sure he doesn’t get hurt. I’m sure Brooks will make sure that doesn’t happen.

The tables are once again turned in the UF series. Tebow had the same scared look on his face in the bowl game against those mighty Wolverines as he did against UGA. I have said this before and I stand by it, You can give all the trophies you want to Tebow, but UF never new how much it would miss Chris Leak. Other teams are taking notes from UGA and Auburn on how to stop Tebow, who just is not that good against the fast strong defenses. As for Percy Harvin, if you can’t get him the ball outside the box, he is not all that dangerous. The Dawgs D will be ready for all this year out of the gate. You will not see these running backs having their way such as in the South Carolina and Tennesee games in 2007. The Dawgs will be very hard to deal with this year, and I mean a lot harder to deal with than LSU of 2007. Mark it down. Go Dawgs.

The gators and dawgs are going to be scary good on offense this year. Georgia will have the better defense, but the game could be 49-49 and who has the ball last wins. Lsu will win the west, but the dawgs or gators will beat the tigers for the sec title. Bama will play in the sec championship game in a few years!!

Caleb King has potential, but it’s Knowshon’s time to shine. With the freshman year his belt, and a seasoned offensive line, I say WATCH OUT! King will get his carries, but Knowshon brought something to that team last year that we haven’t seen since the glory days of #34…….GO DAWGS!

Let’s see, Tebow threw three TD passes, one of 40 yards, had one dropped and another called back by penalty and led the Gators to 30 points against the Dawgs in spite of playing with a bruised shoulder that led Dan Mullen to call only a handful of Tebow running plays. And there were two turnovers he had nothing to do with that prevented likely UF scores. Yep, Tebow was scared alright. Just like he’ll be scared to face the Dawgs again this October. You can bet he’s got that game circled on his calendar, Columbus. See you in Jax.

Busta….Thank you for saying that. It has almost been as if people have forgotten abotu Moreno because the AJC has to put out what seems like a daily article on King. As a fan of a team other than UGA, Moreno was incredible as a freshman and it will be interesting to see if he can carry it over to his soph year. However, before people start judging how goog King will be, I saw they let him get some real time carries before handing him the Heisman.
Columbus Dawg….Before you go running your mouth about the tables turning in the UF series, remember, we heard the same thing the first time Richt beat UF. When you guys start catching up on the 15-3 record over the last 18 years, then you can talk. UF will be good again this year and I imagine with be looking for payback after that lame endzone celebration.
Tony…On your list I think Ricky Jean-Francois will have the biggest impact. Kid is a beast and will be a great player for LSU this year.

Bamafan, I think this same thing was said a number of times about UGA and another team. “the game could be 49-49”. You are not going to score 49 points out the UGA defense. Florida could not do it, and Hawaii “the most prolific offense that UGA will see all year” surely could not do it.

Tebow was injured during the Georgia game and should not have been playing. Michigan was a very talented team that was making a statement about their coach in the same way the UGA basketball team made a statement about Felton. Georgia will again be an entitled group of poorly-coached individuals that will roll over and die when things don’t go their way early in the game, like they do against UT. I don’t know if King is a hot dog like Moreno, but Moreno will not share the spotlight with anyone, and expect academics and arrests to jump up and bite before the season begins.

What about Matthew Stafford? He is the best QB in the league. Tebow is the hardest to stop….. I think UGA and Florida will both be teriffic! However, UF lives on the plays of Harvin and if he gets injured…. uh oh! I think UGA’s defense will win them the championship… Go Dawgs!

The only reason that I can guess that Brandon Cox replacement talk is absent here is because anyone that takes his place will be better than him.
AU is one of the 4 best times in this league with as much talent as anyone.
Lester, Tate, all 3 tight ends, Coleman, the offensive line, Blackmon, Marks, 3 of 4 DBs etc.
If they can score with the new offense they could easily win it all.
Their defense will be better than last year and their offense will definitely be better than 9th in the SEC.

It still amazes me that Gator fans have nothing better to do than post on a AJC UGA blog. How Interesting?
Anyone who believes the shoulder had anything to do with UF losing to UGA last year is just looking for an excuse
Tebow still had a really good game and who ever watched the game knew even if they were calling running plays, too much pressure in his face to run. He’s proven he doesn’t handle pressure all that well and its been proven, see UM and UGA
With that said, UF and UGA will probably be top 5 teams to start the season, should be fun to watch when they meet

Tebow is way over hyped. It’s easy to get those TD’s if P. Harvin runs it inside the five yard line then you give it to Tebow 3 straight times. Tebow will be hurt again this year if he plans to run the ball 20 times a game. It was said before UGA will be scary good.

stafford is the best QB in the league? give me a break. in terms of QB stats he was 55th in the NCAA last year, which is the definition of mediocre. He wasnt even in the top 3 in the SEC east last year. He only had 55% completions. you homers need to get over stafford. hes a decent QB but hes definitely not the heisman material super QB hes made out to be. One more time since i know you kids failed math: Stafford was 55 out of 119 NCAA QBs last season.

Leslie Brent Bowie…for the record, I am not a UF fan. The season before last, UF lost a lot on D. I think they had to replace 9 starters. They have recruited well for the last 6-7 years so they will find playmakers. I am not saying they will beat UGA. Just think UGA needs to win more than 3 of 18 before talking smack!
Juno….Tebow is overrated? That would be about like me saying that Richt is overrated as a coach. Simply put, it is a dumb comment. The kid threw for 20+ TD’s and ran fro 20+ TD’s. Show me where Staffords numbers were close to that! I think UGA will be very good this year but so will UF and LSU! It will not be a walk through the SEC like you might want to think.

Didn’t Florida have the rest of the game last year to get revenge from the end zone celebration? Why is it they couldn’t get it then? They simply got outplayed. Neither Georgia or Florida will need any extra motivation in ‘08. This game will decide the East & possibly the NC & that should be enough.

Tony, I’ve been wondering the same thing about Emmanuel Moody—-is he the real deal or not? If he got 400+ yards in his freshman season at Tailback U, he was obviously getting a lot of work for a freshman. Yet he transfers because he was one of ten on SC’s depth chart, despite being “highly recruited” and getting all that work at his position. Without knowing more, that tells me he either might have an attitude problem or he may have no heart. Just saying he could very well NOT be the answer to Florida’s lack of a running game, especially after he gets his first three or four tastes of SEC defenses.

College football is still all about leadership and maturity-if UGA is going to take it to the next level i think M. Stafford is going to have to take it up a notch which is also why Marcus Washington’s injury is a bit of a concern to me-also who on the O-Line can take Velasco’s place-the guys i’m watching are J.

now for tony’s points,1-richt has told bobo to come up with some schemes to have king and moreno in the backfield at the same time.king’s breakaway speed will prevent defenses from keying on moreno.king’s problem last year was not blocking,i think he learned to block pretty well,it was picking up audibles when stafford changed the play at the line.there were some blocking schemes he didn’t quite grasp.king will get the majority of snaps during practice,that should correct the problem.2-we don’t get to watch many pac-10 games so i have never seen moody play.however,any good rb will be a help for uf.imo,their major problem was on defense,the gators scored plenty of points.3-i will never understand why the rebels fired cutliff.i think any coach deserves five years to establish his program.then he is coaching HIS recruits.nutt is a pretty good coach,so we’ll see.4-lsu has a stud d lineman?what a shock!when have they not had a heii of a d line?5-i am afraid uk’s problems run a lot deeper than shutting down a wr.like finding a qb and some linemen.6-you guys comparing tebow and stafford are comparing apples and oranges.tebow is a dual threat qb that operates out of the spread,stafford is a drop back pro style qb and uga rarely uses the spread.stafford throws a lot of deep balls to keep the d from loading the line with eight men,tebow throws a lot of short passes from four wr sets.they are both good qbs that fit their team’s systems.they have strong arms,and,imo,both will play on sunday in a couple of years.

Saying he could be a great player? Fine. Saying he will be better than Knowshon…..ludicrous.
Maybe at the end of their college careers but Moreno has something VERY few kids have, only three I have seen at GA have had that kind of talent AND that kind of drive and that is Hines, Pollack and Moreno. Caleb King will be a very good RB but it remains to be seen whether he has the GET AFTER IT mentality or vision that KnowMo has. I think he is faster but at the end of the day, it is great to have this kind of talent.

It was the gator coaching staff that ran Tebow into the end zone with less than 2 minutes left to pad a touchdown lead against KY the week before (a FG would have made it a two score game). If gator fans think they lost to Georgia because of an injury, they can point the blame at boneheaded play calling.

RAMBLE ON! Cute little joke about SEC players. How about looking in Leavenworth for the most hyped player to come out of the ACC in the past 20 years… Good one buddy.
It is true that Georgia is going to have a bunch of talent this year. Especially at receiver and running back. Barring any major injuries, we should be in contention for a NC next year, but that is yet to be seen. One game at a time.
All this UGA/FLA talk is geting me pumped. I think that Tebow was rattled last year, but the guy was having to do it all by himself. The addition of Moody is going to big for their offense to give them that extra run option. Their defense struggled last year, and their upcoming season is going to depend on how much they can mature. We all know about UGA’s depth on defense, which is going to give them a huge advantage in the game. I can’t wait…. GO DAWGS!!!!

FWIW- Naturally I am a Dawg Fan (hence the moniker) but here are my two cents… Said it before last season and will repeat it this year if Meyer continues to expose Tebow as much as he did last year then FL’s #2 QB better be ready to play some significant minutes. Unlike the MWC the SEC has some serious speed on D that can bring alot of pain with it. Urban is either vain or naive to feel that this method can be utilized for 12 weeks and be consistently successful. Tebow is a really good QB, is physically stout, and is capable of carrying a team as he did last year; But until Moody or whoever steps up to take pressure off Tebow then Fl is playing roulette with Tebow. As for FL’s D losing Harvey (their best pass rush) will place even more pressure on their DB’s and this was the area that teams exploited last year. Wright is a really good S but their corners have to grow up and show that they can play man coverage. Even with C.Strong staying and a new D Cood. and DB’s Coach coming on board it should be expected that there will be an adjustment period for schemes and coverages. One question for the FL fans…Who on your schedule last year did you beat that you were not expected to beat? Given that and still no definitive running game, key pass rusher and lockdown corners how do you expect that this year will be different? Expect UGA-FL game will be huge but have to feel that UGA has less questions to address leading up to the start of 08 season. Expect that key injuries will dictate alot as the season progresses.

Gene is undergoing outpatient therapy for an advanced case of opticosphinctitis. Most cases of opticosphictitis that are this severe are rooted (please forgive the term) in feelings of… inadequacy. Gene’s was referred to us after the treatment he received fron the Georgia Baptist Home for the Sexually Repressed had clearly failed. Gene actually was a student at the University of Georgia but it turns out the love of his life became…disappointed with him after a chance encounter with several members (again, please pardon the term) from the football team.
His bitterness under the circumstances is understandable and he deserves compassion. He has been ridiculed enough and Nurse Cratchett must now ask participants on this blog to refrain from further negative comments about Gene. He craves support and attention and it is somewhat disappointing that bloggers get so caught up in silly talk about football they can’t recognize when someone is suffering.
Nurse Cratchett is somewhat disappointed the learnings that led to the foundation of Fans of Chan seem to have been lost on this blog.
Nurse Cratchett would like to suggest the mature thing to do is to show some sensitivity toward Gene and focus on mature and sympathetic comments to ease his suffering.

In the first place, I reject the notion that the UGA-UF game would have been different if Tebow had not been bruised.
For the sake of argument, let’s say that his bruise (not being sacked 7 friggin times) did have something to do with it. Is there any difference in that and saying that “if we hadn’t thrown 4 interceptions the game would have been different”?
Maybe if tebow had gotten bruised in a bicycle accident, it would be different, but it was in Florida’s game plan to expose Tebow to injury, and guess what happened? It’s the exact same thing as exposing your qb to interceptions by calling passes into double coverage.
I am not the only one that predicted Tebow would be lunch meat if Fla continued to use him like they did his freshman year. If I could predict it, Meyer should have known it. But, as I said, the bruise had nothing to do with the loss anyway.
Tebow was not playing defense, and even though people try to make things way more complicated than they are, to win, you still have to score more points than you allow your opponant to score.
Florida scored 30 points, that should be enough to win if you have the best team. Florida did not have the best team, and if your qb can lead your team to score 30 points, and survive 7 sacks, it is outragious to suggest that it would have been different if he were not bruised.
I am sure that UGA had some players playing with bruises, but we didn’t hear about it because they were not in a chase for the heisman trophy, and UGA didn’t need to “produce” excuses for losing.

Shane, Nurse Cratchett is pleased that you have begun to show compassion and understanding toward Gene. One can only hope your fellow bloggers can begin to show some simple human kindness toward him as well.
That is very sad Shane about your friend consuming whatever it was. Nurse Cratchett can tell you are still grieving from the loss. It takes a sensitive man indeed to cry over Chuck Norris.
Nurse Cratchett has not been on this blog for several years. She has been on a research project for the good of mankind in the Peruvian Amazon during that time and have not yet become acquainted with people who post now. Many of the old timers have apparently been successful with their therapy and no longer feel the need to take out their frustrations here. Or at least Nurse Cratchett hopes that is the case.

HunkErdown, it would also be different if Fl had only lost the one game Timmy had been “bruised”, and UGA didnt prove capable of beating teams that beat them. Factor, maybe. Excuse, nope. As I recall we didn’t have our starting tailback that weekend, and discovered his replacement ain’t bad. Team sport.
In all fairness, I’m sure that coach Meyer knew the risk he was running with Tebow that year, and I’m sure he would say that they were very lucky to have survived it as well as they did. I really think he just didn’t have a lot of other options. I’d love to think that was his game plan for a couple more years, but I’m afraid its not going to be.

Alot of young college football players who are blue chip players have the same thoughts and dream \ of becoming a pro-football player. The NFL is a great dream to have come true but remember NFL really stands for “Not For Long”. Caleb and all the other listed and or at college playing a game that they love and I love watching, get that degree it represent a future of independence and forever your.

I’ve stated before and I will again, the Gators will without a doubt be the toughest matchup for the Dawgs next year. I thoroughly expect the road to the NC will be that game in J’ville. Moody will add a little speed to Florida’s running game but overall, the running game won’t be improved much. Moody is a “so so” back. If he was as good as these bloggin Florida fans think he is, he’d still be at USC. He should however take some of the load off Tebow for yards on the ground which will help keep that freight train healthy. I don’t care much for Tebow because he is a Gator but, I have to admit, he is one hell of a football player.
But it won’t be enough. Georgia is too talented, too strong, too deep and too good for Florida to have much of a chance. The Dawgs could lose a game or two next year that they are expect to win but this won’t be one of’em.

Archetype:
Tebow is a great player, no question about it.
My problem with FL last year is that they played only five teams that had a telent level ANYWHERE near what Coach Meyer enjoyed last year… they lost 4 out of those 5 games. TN being their sole victory aganst teams with even close to their skill level.
In other words, when coaching was important to the outcome of the game, the gators went 1-4 last year. Doesn’t that upset anyone in Gatorland?

Gene,
Any other excuses as to why FL lost to UGA this year??
I heard that the entire defense had some trouble sleeping the night before the game, so it really shouldn’t count.
We now have excuses for the UGA and Michigan games as to why FL lost.
How about the Auburn and LSU games.
You can’t use the excuse that you suspended the team captain that committed a felony the week of the LSU game… because Florida put winning above what is right and played him every snap the rest of the season.
Maybe the real reason FL lost four games is that their defense was horrible and the offense was too predictable and centered around only two players.

UF and UGA “should” be the best two teams in the East. They are very compariable. 1) Both will have a strong running game. Edge to UGA b/c of O line, Moreno and King. UF will have the back in Moody and Tebow is a good option of short downs. Using a risk/reward analysis it is wise to use Tebow in these situations only.2) Both have a very passionate leaders Moreno and Tebow. Both put their teams on their backs and carry them. Even. 3) Passing should go to UF. Tebow has better stats. Stafford hasn’t shown he is as consistan as he needs to be. Percy gives the receivers another advantage to UF. The O line for UF appears to be less than UGA O line. UF gets a slight nod in passing. UGA defense has been sporadic in the past. Sometimes they are awesome, other times not as good. The UGA O outscored UF’s O. The UGA defense did not stonewall them in 07. Still UGA defense has a better plus side than the Gator D which showed nothing last year. UF D has to improve in running and passing or they will be doing good with 9 wins.
As of right now edge to UGA. UF has the potential to be scary good. Dawgs have to keep working hard and push themselves further this spring to keep the edge on UF. Oh yeah, both have to keep their players out of jail and on the field.

Everyone will get off of Stafford’s back once they see him play in the G-Day Game. He has worked out his faulty footwork that has kept him from shining as brightly as expected coming out of H.S.. Nobody in the nation will have a better running game than UGA. You will see plenty of running plays that go for big yardage like we were all so used to from Georgia teams in year’s past. This, like it did late in 2007, will open up the down field plays, and Stafford will be up to the challenge of completions in these situations. Bobo wants about the same number of attempts, with a higher completion rate, and he will get it. Mark it down. As for UF, the football program started it’s backwards steps in their Bowl game, kinda starting to look like time for the Dawgs to take back the series and everything will be back to normal in the Great Dawg Nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Georgia thinks that the tables have turned…they are smoking crack…write it down!
Georgia will be very good…but dog fans forget that Tebow was playing hurt and that game was very close up until the end. Tebow healthy - Gators win..write it down!
Hey, I realize that what goes around..comes around…this was payback to us Gators for when the dogs did not have Shockley during his one year…no doubt that dogs would have won that game and postioned for a NC game that year..write it down!
Stafford very over-rated …horrible footwork…relies on arm strength and throws way to often off back foot. Overthrows his receivers and is average in QB intelligence. Probably the 6th best QB in the league last year - behind Tebow, Ainge, Flynn, Perilloux, Woodson ..tied with JP Wilson for 6th. write it down!
Caleb…..vastly over rated - word on the street that Caleb is FRAGILE. Mr. Injury Prone and not mentally tough. Basically - he is a 9ussy! The Samuel kid will be Moreno’s back up by mid season…write it down!
Moreno is a STUD! - wish he was a Gator!… Write it down!

Here’s Why - SC always plays well early in the season before they wake up and realize they are a Mediocre - TN owns GA - have won 3 of last 4. Bama will improve - took Dawgs to overtime last year. AZ State a trap in the waiting…write it down!
Georgia will lose guarentee two and possibly three in next big stretch against Vandy, LSU, Flroida, KY and Auburn. Two losses against LSU and Gators!…write it down!
Bottom line - Dawgs lose 3 and may lose 4 if napping looking ahead.

Great analysis. As of right now I would agree with your assessment. Things could change with the development of players and injuries, but I would say that Florida would have to prove that its defense could do a better job of making other offenses punt before I would give them the edge over Georgia or a shot at the SEC crown.

Gator Nation…I agree this is an analysis of here and now…check back with me in say early Oct. Both had good recruiting to fill those shakey positions. UGA recruited a couple of talented receivers and the D is deep, perhaps providing more consistant performance. UF did well in recruiting on O line and D line. UF D defeciences relied more on poor D line than DB’s. Both teams added depth on O line, so this should help both in improving consistency.
As for UT in the mix. Starting QB is gone, new O coordinator…things don’t look good for their O early on in the season. I believe their D only returns 6, so they will have to develop. Both UGA and UF should catch them relatively early in the season before they have a chance to Gel. I believe their O line will be pretty solid. I don’t think they lost to many out of the starting five.

Cuz, Nurse Cratchett is very pleased, but not surprised, your therapy is working out for you.
Nurse Cratchett is also very pleased you are not letting Gator fans rub the back of your Wranglers. No doubt you recall the warning I gave godawg about the fondness for enemas gator fans have demonstrated time and again.
Actually, that came across as much more pejorative than Nurse Cratchett intended. Enema therapy for gator fans has been proven to be in accordance with prevailing medical best practices.
Speaking of enema therapies and godawg, is he okay? DeAnna reported he hasn’t been to the Cheetah for therapy in some time now. And Nurse Cratchett has only recently learned of the demise of Chan Gailey and resulting dissolution of Fans of Chan.
And there were others who were regulars here who are nowhere to be found now. Where is Spanky? And geechee? I understand Reality Check is no longer attending his anger management sessions at the institute. Has that “thug” streak of his landed him in jail?
I see no evidence of that mean Carter Srickland posting blog topics. Who is this person Chip Towers? Did Tech finally beat Georgia last year?

Fl Dawg,
RE: Tebow…..I love him, but he also still has major development to make when it comes to running our offense. The QB’s job in Urban’s offense is one of distributer and then when the defense over-commits, its time to call your number. It is Tebow, not Urban all the time who calls for the QB to run. We have the weapons with Percy and our other receivers and backs to spread it out more. Hope he learns to do this with greater frequency next year.
I think both Tennesse and Kentucky return a good amount of their starters minus the QB’s. They and South Carolina will be tough outs next year.
Both our schedules are brutal. I know Georgia plays the 3 toughest teams from the western side of the SEC and Arizona St and Tech out of conference. Our out of conference is Hawaii (likely down some) Miami and FSU.
It looks like it will shape up to be a great year, but I could easily see both of us being really good teams and having two losses. Hopefully LSU has laid the ground work for still being able to contend for the SEC and NC with that number of blemishes.

Compare his numbers with Knowshon’s. Moody won’t add much more dimention to FL’s running game unless they use the option whichwoud imped the passing game to a degree.

AR Dawg…very bad comparison in my opining. Did you realistically think that Knowshon was going to be THAT good? If so, you are amongst the minority. No one expects a freshman to be as good as he was last year. As for Moody, he was one of the top RB’s in the country out of HS and had to share time with a stable of backs at USC but still made it on the field. I could be wrong but I think that Reggie Bush was in his last year at USC when Moody was a freshman. Bush turned out ok not playing against SEC talent. Moody could very well come in and play as well as if not better than Moreno. You just dont know and I am not sure how you can make the prediction. As for the redshriting guys who are equal to or better than Moody, all I can say is WOW. As a BAMA fan, I can honestly say this new arrogance of UGA fans is making us look modest.

Zeb McKluskey, Nurse Cratchett is very concerned for your emotional state. Your greeting and welcome back was extremely warm. Nurse Cratchett encourages friendly exchange as you pointed out. You did well with that, Zeb.
However, Nurse Cratchett made it clear I have been in the Peruvian Amazon, which is in South America. Nurse Cratchett has never been to New Guinea. New Guinea is more than 7000 miles from Peru. And there are no Pygmies there.
However, there are Cannibals in New Guinea. It is known as the last remaining place on the planet where cannabalism is still practiced. In fact, Nelson Rockefeller’s son Michael disappeared there in 1961 and it is widely believed he was killed and eaten by cannibals.
This makes your comments about feeding Pygmies from Nurse Cratchett’s breasts disturbing on multiple levels. One is that it shows a lack of respect for women. Nurse Cratchett suspects the more disturbing meanings represent unconscious conflicts that may be serious.
Thank you for sharing that football is your life. That is helpful information, but Nurse Cratchett still does not have enough information to form a treatment hypothesis.
Zeb, if you want to get better you need to tell Nurse Cratchett about your mother.

Reality Check, at best you are in denial. This blog is designed to encourage conflict and here you are right in the middle of it. In fact, I know and you know that is the precise reason you are in the middle of it. Some of the bloggers here make outrageous comments and I know how quickly you get into a spin over that type of thing and how much you enjoy that spinning sensation and associating with people who are more than a little off. I mean, come on, in less than 24 hours we have heard from people who are cheerfully chatting up road kill possums before making them dinner. Do you call that normal? You probably do and you probably even consider that guy who wrote about the possum one of your partners and allies on here.
Reality Check, you get back in that group next Wednesday or Nurse Cratchett is going to get angry. You don’t want to make Nurse Cratchett angry, do you Reality Check.
