BRACK: Kirby Smart’s silence belies his accomplishments

By Elliott Brack   |  Winning isn’t everything. Try to tell that to a follower of top sports teams, however.  You’ll get scorn and laughed at from mad-dog fans of the Universities of Georgia and Alabama, and other sports teams, high school, college and pro.

BRACK: Georgia made 3 mistakes in the college championship game

By Elliott Brack  |  Most Georgians, even us stalwart Georgia Tech fans, must be elated at the way the Georgia Bulldogs dominated the college championship game in defeating Texas Christian University 65-7.  Yes, I’ll admit I was worried about playing TCU, for the manner it had shown in its 13-0 regular season, often coming back to win every game.

Bennett

BRACK: Most popular man in Georgia today? Stetson Bennett 

By Elliott Brack |  Let’s talk politics eventually today. But first, who might be the most  popular man in Georgia this morning? Stetson Bennett IV.  The underdog Georgia Bulldogs’ quarterback played a superb game in the Orange Bowl against the Big Ten’s Michigan. Bennett and his cohorts thoroughly dominated the once mighty Spartans, who came into the game with just one loss, and was ranked No. 2 by the pollsters, just ahead of Georgia.
