Warburton pleads innocence after being banned for three weeks
Posted: October 17, 2011|
Sam Warburton has moved to distance himself from any wrong doing in Wales' semi-final defeat to France, insisting there was no malicious intent in the tackle that saw him red carded.
The 23-year-old had led Wales into the final four for the first time since the first World Cup back in 1987 but ensured they faced an uphill battle to reach their first final after being sent to the stands after only 18 minutes.
Irish referee Alain Rolland had adjudged his tackle on French wing Vincent Clerc to be dangerous and it was the end of the flanker's and Wales' World Cup hopes as Les Bleus ran out 9-8 winners.
But Warbuton, who now misses the third-fourth play-off with Australia in Auckland on Friday after being banned for three weeks, has come out fighting, adamant the decision to show him a red card was harsh.
"I'm obviously gutted, but there was no malicious intent," he said.
"I felt like as soon as it hit him his bodyweight took control of what happened.
"I thought it was a normal tackle, next thing I was walking off into the stands.
"The courage and bravery the lads showed was second to none."
Both the red card and subsequent ban have sparked much debate in rugby circles but the International Rugby Board have backed referee Rolland with the decision to ban Warburton.
An IRB statement read: "The IRB memorandum issued on 8 June, 2009 stated that such tackles 'must be dealt with severely by referees and those involved in the off-field disciplinary process.'"

A passenger jetliner preparing to leave Barcelona's El Prat airport taxied across a runway where another was about to land, forcing the arriving plane to abort its landing and climb sharply to avoid a possible disaster.
Amateur video footage filmed Saturday showed the Aerolineas Argentinas Airbus 340 crossing the runway just as the aircraft from Russian airline Utair was making its final approach.
Spanish airport authority AENA said Monday the Russian plane, which officials described only as a Boeing, circled back and landed safely. None of the passengers on either plane was hurt.
AENA said it has opened an investigation into what happened. It had no details on how close the planes were at the time of the incident.

Event Date: July 07, 2013 15:03 CET
Malmo MM will be awaiting the visit of Gefle IF at their Swedbank Stadion this Sunday as part of their 2013 Allsvenskan season's Round 15 obligations.
The hosts have 26 points after the first 14 matches of the season, and that tally is good enough for them to hold the fourth position in the league standings. Elfsborg also have 26 points, but they sit in one place higher than Malmo due to the latter's inferior goal difference.
Malmo's main problem so far this season has been their unusually dodgy backline that has leaked 17 goals already – most among the top seven teams in the division. They have lost just one of their last five games although that defeat came in their most recent match against which took place last weekend at home against Hacken.
Gefle are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions, but it is an extremely misleading piece of statistics. The reality is that they drew all six league games of that sequence and ended an 11-match run without a win last weekend with a 3-0 away win over FC Narva Trans in their Europa League encounter. They last won a league game back in April in the opening month of the ongoing season. As a result of their poor form in the domestic competition, they fully deserve their current 12th-position in this 16-team league.
Out of their two meetings of the 2012 Allsvenskan season, the first one ended in a 0-0 stalemate while the return fixture on Gefle's ground was claimed 2-0 by Malmo. Gefle are in extremely bad form at the moment, and the upcoming game will be played at Malmo's turf, which means that they have a distinct advantage in this tie. And therefore, the recommended tip for this game is to back Malmo -1 goal with Pinnacle Sports at odds of 1.62.

A whirlwind discussion on the legacy of the Civil War entertained students, faculty, staff, and guests at "The Civil War and Reconstruction in the Border States: History and Memory at the Sesquicentennial," a symposium in Haggin Auditorium on the campus of Transylvania Thursday, April 28.
Four American history scholars — John McCardell Jr., vice-chancellor and president of the University of the South at Sewanee; Annette Gordon-Reed, professor of law and history at Harvard University; David W. Blight, professor of American history at Yale University; and moderator Jed Shugerman, assistant professor at Harvard Law School — presented and participated in a question-and-answer session that explored topics ranging from the beginning of the South's history to Reconstruction and African-Americans to Robert Penn Warren and his reflections on the war.
The symposium was part of the week's activities surrounding the inauguration of Transylvania President R. Owen Williams. In his introduction, Williams unveiled a Civil War-era American flag — stitched by former dean of the medical school and U.S. Army surgeon Robert Peters — that flew over Old Morrison during the war. The Peters family lived at 228 Market Street in Gratz Park (then the College Lot) and Peters' daughter, Frances, kept a detailed diary of life in Lexington and at Transylvania during the Civil War that was later published as A Union Woman in Civil War Kentucky.
Transylvania does not base employment or academic decisions on a person's age, race, color, gender, disability or any other criteria prohibited by law. We are committed to providing equal opportunity in employment and education for all.

U.S. Steel Corp. receives state grants
U.S. Steel Corp. is one of 33 recipients of Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants announced on Thursday by Gov. Tom Corbett's administration.
U.S. Steel will get $52,618 from the state Department of Environmental Protection to convert eight vehicles to run on compressed natural gas available at a fueling station at the Mon Valley Works Irvin Plant in West Mifflin. The $1 million compressed natural gas fueling station was opened on Sept. 7, 2011, by officials of U.S. Steel and Chesapeake Energy Corp.
When it opened, the Mon Valley Works had five vehicles that had been converted to run on compressed natural gas.
Then-Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon said a natural gas vehicle could be filled up for 75 cents per gallon, while U.S. Steel's then-CEO John Surma said vehicles converted to run on natural gas showed a savings of 60 cents per mile over vehicles that use gasoline or diesel fuel.
Other DEP grants announced on Thursday went to companies, counties and organizations making the switch to compressed or liquefied natural gas or propane.
Grants are issued annually as an incentive for transportation projects aimed at reducing air emissions.
Acting Secretary of Environmental Protection Chris Abruzzo said the fuel incentive grants as well as an upcoming round of Act 13 grants "allow us to make the most of our abundant natural gas resources, edging us closer to energy independence while helping to improve our air quality."
Thursday's grants will help pay for the conversion or purchase of 351 natural gas vehicles and 337 propane vehicles weighing less than 14,000 pounds, while supporting 30 existing and 15 new fueling stations.
Other projects will be funded in Adams, Armstrong, Bradford, Butler, Centre, Clarion, Clearfield, Columbia, Crawford, Dauphin, Delaware, Greene, Jefferson, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Luzerne, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Pike, Washington and York counties.

This tag has been sitting on my desk for a week half-completed. Today, I finally got back to my craft table to finish it off.
The background is inked, sprayed and embossed. I used a Tattered Angels heart stamp that has been sprayed and gold heat embossed. The key and flourish are painted grungeboard. The rest of the stamps are from Tim's steampunk set.
Well, thank you for taking a look.

Fields of White
Posted in Cards, Vintage on February 23, 2012 | 3 Comments »
First off, I have been out of touch with everyone because I been in bed sick since Saturday. Stuff like the chills, sweating, sore throat, vomiting, muscle aches and a high fever. I thought I was feeling better and then this morning around 12:30 am I woke up drenched in sweat and my throat was on fire when I swallowed. I am a RN so I couldn't resist the urge to pull out my flashlight and wouldn't you know… I had a whole field of white stuff growing in the back of my throat. I was going to look for a cool picture online to share but that might be too much for some of you. Needless to say, I went to the Dr. and he said it is my tonsils or mono. I find out tomorrow. I cannot imagine all the mothers out there that have a family, a job and are living with mono. I have had a few days of this and I am already thanking the Lord for my health and that of my family. How blessed I am!! I know this is a bit out of my normal topics but just some encouragment to be thankful for your health & family.
Here is a little card to share that I made a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes, I keep projects hidden until moments like this pop up. I am missing my craft room so much but until I get better I will just have to dream of my projects from bed. Goodness knows I have plenty of time. Also, I am psyched about my Christy Tomlinson mixed media kit coming any day now. Have any of you tried a kit club? This will be my first. I would like to hear any reccomendations.
Thank you for reading my out of the ordinary post. I do hope I did not gross anyone out. Enjoy your week and SMILE!
Steampunk Altered Book
Posted in Altered, Altered Book, Art Journal, Art Journalling, Giveaway, Mixed Media on February 16, 2012 | 7 Comments »
Greetings everyone! I hope your Thursday has been enjoyable. Today, I want to share the second set of pages I have completed in my altered book.
This first image is by June at Dezinaworld. I love it! I used some gears, beads and TH stamps.
I really wanted a dressform on at least one page so I used a side facing form from Graphic's Fairy. I layered the skirt with lace, butterflies, glitter, beads, gears, a word stick and some tulle. The whole background was white and cream with black stamping. In the end, I thought the images just seemed to fade into it, so I went back and added some turquoise. My eye likes it a bit better.
Lastly, I would like to share an amazing gift that I won in a giveaway!
Pat, at Art 4 Liberty had a giveaway in which I won this amazing piece. I loved it so much I wore it around all weekend. I was cleaning, baking and doing things around the house but I just could not take it off! I am in love with this pendant. Hop on over to Pat's blog and look around. Thanks, Pat!

I am so excited to make Grungy Monday this week. As you know, WordPress had some glitches which prevented me from participating last week. The theme is 'Love Tim Holtz Style.'
I had fun using all my new grungeboard shapes. What awesome stuff. Can't believe I have made it this far without them. I am discovering a whole new world of products and techniques this year.
There is not much to tell about what I did (actually, I am just feeling too tired to write it all) but the short version is I painted, distressed, stamped and then repeated that process a lot.
Thank you for stopping by.

And here is a close up of the texture. I used my oil pastels for the first time since high school.

I'm wondering how the spin compares to the Penta TP and versus the old prov1x. I played the old provx for 2 years then switched for awhile to the Penta because I felt it spun more around the green. Also I want to kno how soft the ball is off the putter face, that to me is another area where I really want my ball to be soft and all previous x's I have preferred to any ball with the putter

I always prefer Titleist on every thing but I don't have a sponsor .I'm an international junior golfer with handi 5 nd aged 13..I'd love to see titleist as my sponsor..I'd rise the name of titleist which is very popular in our country..(BANGLADESH)
February 2, 2011
if my swing speed is about 92 mph for driver, is the pro vix compatible with that speed? In other words is the ball compression suitable for that swing speed ?
February 2, 2011
I had a chance to try the test balls a few months ago through Team Titleist and the new ProV1x seemed straighter but shorter than the old one that I used exclusively. Any data on spin off the driver for someone between 95 - 105 mph. Does the 909 driver perform differently than the 910 with the new ProV1x?
Thank you
February 2, 2011
What effect will the change from 392 dimples to 352 for the ProV1 have on ball flight, spin, etc. compared to the previous ProV1's?
February 2, 2011
do any of the stores sell the NEW drivers or hybrids with a senior shaft ?
The three phrase description for the difference between th e V1 and the V1x is not totally clear. Which ball has less spin off the tee?.
February 2, 2011
I HAVE A 95 MPH (DRIVER) CLUB HEAD SPEED, AND CURRENTLY USE THE ProV1x ball for reduced spin, and increased distance and am dependent on short game to preserve 5+ handicap. Am I using the correct Titleist Ball and what will be the differences (for me) to expect with the new ProV1x?
How does the new balls differ from the old ones?

A jury in South Texas is set to hear closing arguments today and begin deliberations in a lawsuit over the painkiller Vioxx. The case is one of almost ten-thousand alleging Merck & Company was responsible for heart attacks in people taking the painkiller.
The family of 71-year-old Leonel Garza is asking one (b) billion dollars in its lawsuit against Merck. Garza died of a heart attack within a month of taking Vioxx for his arm pain in 2001.
Merck lawyers argue that the attack was the end result of 23 years of heart disease. They say Garza only took the drug for a week, too short a period of time to bring on a heart attack.
Family attorneys counter that Garza's veins had been cleared and that a stress test shortly before he died showed less than a two percent risk of a fatal heart attack within a year. They said he had taken the drug for at least a full month.
The trial is being held in Rio Grande City.

The tri-level modern Hashani Spa, built on a hillside just east of the JW Marriott, connects to the main resort via a walkway above a wildlife area, but it feels a world away. The top level houses the salon and a shop selling activewear and high-end skin and beauty products. Sleek, Asian-inspired indoor/outdoor lounge areas, a gym, and a dance/yoga studio occupy the middle level; the lower floor is for heavenly treatments like the hot desert stone massage and the signature creosote body wrap. After your spa service, lie out or lunch poolside; then make your own aromatherapy sachet to take home.

VIDEO: Students will see a badly wrecked car outside of their school to bring awareness to the dangers of texting and driving.
Starting today and throughout the month- students will see a badly wrecked car outside of their school... to bring awareness to the dangers of texting and driving. Students and anyone driving by, will see a smashed car involved in a nearby accident, along with a sign saying "STOP THE TEXTS, STOP THE WRECKS." Channel 4's Ashley Mitchem tells us it's part of a new campaign to put an end to texting while driving. 3 00-0810-1718-22130-139 05:30 Firefighters respond to automobile accidents daily. Now they are focusing on NOT texting and driving because it's the number one distraction for drivers.Randy Wyse, President of Firefighters Union 21:37 A lot of times those wrecks are due to distracted driving, whether it be texting or dialing the phone or anything you have in your car. We're just trying to bring a little attention of what could happen if you are texting and driving.Pr esident of the Firefighters Union Randy Wyse says a driver is 23 percent more likely to be involved in a crash while texting, and six times more likely to cause a crash while texting than driving while intoxicated.Wyse told us about a deadly single car crash he remembers where the driver was on his phone when he wrecked-- 22:35 While I'm sitting there assessing the scene I can hear a phone down in the car somewhere- someone on the phone going hey man where you at what are you doing? Wyse says maybe if the driver wasn't distracted on his phone he could be alive today.That's why firefighters are displaying a car and sign in front of high schools and other locations over the next few months to draw attention to the problem. Wyse says it's not just your own life to consider- but everyone else on the road around you..23:20 imagine waking up every morning realizing you're the cause of death because of something you were doing in your car so sure you may not be the victim but you could cause an innocent person to become a victim of it.If live and death isn't enough to make you put the phone down- it's about to cost you if you get caught by police...CLOSE: 06:46 A new Florida law takes effect on October 1st making it illegal to text and email behind the wheel.It's a secondary offense, meaning you would have to be pulled over for another driving violation to get ticketed.

So, now that we've got a little distance, I'd say skateboarders eventually came out on top in the Rollerblade vs. skateboard feud of the '90s. I'll never understand why. In-line skating seemed so cool! The futuristic spandex, the sleek, graceful figure of the skater—I would have sworn it was the sport of the future. But in-line skating has fallen on hard times as of late. Luckily for the die-hards, there are still isolated communities across the country where in-line skating is embraced and supported. If you're looking to dust off those relics and proudly coast down the sidewalk protected from jeers and scornful looks by the sheer number of your compatriots, then the Huntington Beach FunRoll is what you're looking for.
The FunRoll is a skate group open to all ages and abilities. In fact, you don't even need to be a skater, as bikers are more than welcome to join—and if you're a fan of the old-fashioned skates, well, that's cool, too. The group meets every Saturday morning near the Huntington Beach Pier—ah, heaven—and skates a roundtrip of 16 miles at a steady pace comfortable enough for everyone. If you've only recently purchased your blades at a garage sale and haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet, don't worry. The group will make numerous stops during the trip so everyone has a chance to catch up. Don't lag too much, though, or the skateboarders will get you. After the skate, the group invites everyone to join them for lunch within the area to cap off another successful skate. So lace up those boots proudly, Orange County. The Huntington Beach FunRollers have your back.
The Huntington Beach FunRoll meets north of Huntington Beach Pier at the amphitheater, 315 Pacific Coast Hwy., Huntington Beach; www.funroll.com. Every Sat., 10:30 a.m. Free.

Total Reviews
Write a
(2.0L 4-cyl. 5-speed Manual)
First of all, this review is most likely half true. I have never heard of someone buying a new car and then saying they didn't drive it for a year. That statement in its self is a red flag that this person isn't going to be reliable. Warranties do run out, fortunately, if you?re a decent person and take care of your equipment and keep up with the wear and tear your car won?t fall apart shortly after the warranty. To me it sounds like this person is not a car expert what so ever. To back my statement, look how he tries to throw in mechanical ?gargan? to make it sound like he knows what he is talking about. The alternator recharges the battery while the engine runs through a process that includes a serpentine belt the pulls the pulley on the alternator. You do not have to remove the engine for that. In most repair cases the engine never has to be removed on the sole fact that every other part is connected to the engine. Springs usually are not what squeak. It?s most certainly U joints probably because he put many miles on the car and refused to have the car serviced. I would suggest a good guess why his car wont idle correctly is because he didn?t change the oil and let it run low which in turn caused it to burn up seals inside the engine. Please if you?re interested in a Focus do look into it. Ford in general will always be a better buy for your buck than most foreign brands. the Focus was never intended to be a luxury car, with that being said the interior is usually made of plastic, which to some can be seen a cheap. I have been driving a two door hatch back for a few years now. I love how it drives; the Air conditioning will take your breath away. More importantly, the curvature of the seats makes long road trips pleasant. Some people just don?t understand mechanics and then turn around and try to bash an entire car brand. Your car is an extension of yourself. If you take care of your car then you will not have problems. Please discredit this person?s biased opinion on a superior car such as the Focus. If you don?t believe me then look at how many you see on the road. Look at how many around the world Ford has sold. Now how can so many people make a mistake like the person above is claiming?

Massively can provide you with everything you need to know about all those other shiny MMOs! Check out this roundup of the latest news from the wider MMO world.
|E3 2009: A complete roundup of Massively's coverage
Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 proved to be a significant event for the gaming industry once again, with a fair amount of news and announcement related to MMOs. Massively was there on the ground for E3 this year and we've been putting up breaking announcements, interviews, and hands-on previews throughout.
|Final Fantasy XIV is a good, good thing
So, unless you've been under a rock, you probably heard Sony squeeing in happiness about Final Fantasy XIV Online, otherwise known as just FFXIV. This is indeed the next MMO that Square-Enix has been hiding from prying eyes, and unlike the indications we got from the company a year ago, this is another Final Fantasy Online.
|Global Agenda trailer puts pansy elves in their place
We just had a look at some of the gameplay from Global Agenda at E3, but the latest trailer from Hi-Rez studios is a bit different. It's a more humorous look at the sort of characters that will be found in-game, or rather, the sorts that won't. Walking around in a flowing robe and attempting to fling fireballs won't get you very far in Global Agenda, as the trailer points out so clearly -- a Recon character makes short work of an elf trying to fill his cast-bar to attack, proving that technology is the key to victory in this particular world, and that other elves hoping to join the game's cast need not apply.
|Star Wars: The Old Republic demonstration
The trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic blew nerds around the world away, and has managed to build some of the greatest hype possible for an MMO in just a few short days. The question has been asked whether or not a trailer which contains absolutely no gameplay footage should be producing that sort of hype, but that trailer wasn't all that we saw of the upcoming MMORPG at E3. A panel dedicated to The Old Republic had much more to say.
|Impressions of Heroes of Telara
To be honest, when the Heroes of Telara trailer first released, much of what we heard was "been there done that" from readers and friends. "Fantasy has been done to death" was another. That's why we were glad to see the game actually in play behind closed doors this last week at the Trion World Network space at E3. While we only saw a pre-alpha copy of the game (and would point out that it's what they used for the trailer) it's certainly raised our interest over the initial impression we had.
|Hands on with the Aion beta
Join us as we walk you through our favorite parts of the Aion closed beta. Although the first round is over, the next one has already been scheduled and we're ready!
|MMO gaming under quarantine
If you're unlucky enough to be quarantined because of Influenza A(H1N1), commonly referred to in the media as "Swine flu", trying to find ways to pass the time without wrecking yourself might seem a bit elusive. Since some of us, here at Massively, are stuck in quarantine right now ourselves, it seems only fitting that we try to pass on a few useful tips.
|An Identity of Imagination...
Being anonymous is par for the course when it comes to the Internet. When approaching any kind of online community for the first time, the very first given task is usually to pick a whole new name, and even without thoughts of deliberate anonymity, it can be very difficult to actually be yourself. Common real names, such as James or Mary or John or Linda, are likely to have already been chosen as login names a long time ago and the nature of the database means duplicates are rarely allowed. A more unique name is needed when signing up, and so almost everyone begins to create for themselves an online persona.
|EA and Realtime Worlds partner on All Points Bulletin
We knew that Realtime Worlds, the company behind the urban crime MMO All Points Bulletin would have something to announce and show at E3 2009, we just weren't sure of what to expect. That announcement came today at the Electronic Arts press conference. Imagine our surprise when Realtime Worlds creative director Dave Jones (who you may know as the creator of GTA and Crackdown) appeared on stage to announce that EA will be publishing All Points Bulletin. The announcement was followed up with a rather stunning trailer, depicting all manner of urban badasses.

The supervisor's role in officer survival
As we mourn the loss of Seattle PD's Officer Timothy Brenton — an FTO in the midst of doing his job when he was gunned down by cowards in a drive-by shooting — we're reminded of how essential field trainers, senior officers, and corporals are to any police organization. These are the warriors among us who bridge the gap between supervision and the line personnel. One of their most important roles in any police agency is to do everything they can to help keep their fellow crimefighters safe, and as supervisors we must do all that we can to help them accomplish this mission.
Although we are at a fifty-year low when it comes to officers killed in the line of duty, we need to remember that "officer survival" isn't just about staying alive. Tens of thousands of police officers are injured and assaulted every year and many of these are life-altering, career-ending events.
There is so much that a good supervisor can do to affect the safety of our personnel.
Generally speaking, your people already know what to do. The job of the supervisor and the field training officer is to keep reminding them and encouraging them. This is called the theory of "receptive training." You don't necessarily need to teach them new skills, you just have to give them opportunities to remember and use what they already know.
A good supervisor is a role model, a coach, an advocate, and so much more. Go get 'em Sarge!

Back Talk with Faith47Juxtapoz // Monday, 22 Feb 2010
Today, I feel:
Several different emotions simultaneously in effect within me.
If you had three wishes, what would they be?
- Global financial equality.
- To have the knowledge that someone had invented and mass distributed truth glasses where everyone can see and understand what is really really really going on.
- To be at peace.
Do you consider yourself a funny person?
I'm a little and a lot silly and a little and a lot serious.
If you had one magic power, what would it be?
To move with ease between the moments and the molecules.
Something that makes you happy?
Painting flowing solid silhouette pieces in quite abandoned buildings… [see above pic].
Something that makes you mad?
Rape. Child abuse. Violence. War. Animal abuse… things like that… our darker darker darker sides when let loose to prowl.
What was your favorite subject in elementary school?
I enjoyed the abstract feeling of maths for a while, art and geography… history.
If you feel a creative block, what do you do to jumpstart inspiration?
Spend time in nature. Read. Look at old religious art, woodcuts… escape routine.
When someone is taking a photo, do you smile for the camera or turn your head?
I hide.
Are you a social network enthusiast?
Yes indeed. I've become an internet geek due to all my intensely alone studio time.
What is a quality you don't like about yourself?
My anxiety.
Last good book you read?
The Scramble for Africa by Thomas Pakenham.
Who has had the most impact on your life?
My son, Keya.
Are you spiritual?
I have a spirit it expands and contracts.
Are you a pet person?
Is your artwork understood?
It's an interesting question… but I don't control that.
The most trouble you've ever gotten into:
Holding cell overnight once.
Where do you imagine yourself in five years?
Hopefully more established personally and artistically.

Posted by Bryan Fischer
GEORGIA WILL WIN IF: The Bulldogs' defense continues to perform like it has all season. Though the bookends for the year didn't go as fans had hoped, the team still ran off 10 straight wins and likely saved head coach Mark Richt's job. The biggest reason behind the surge is the defense, which is third in the country in yards allowed and features stud linebacker Jarvis Jones and a secondary led by Brandon Boykin and Bacarri Rambo. The offense has done ok behind quarterback Aaron Murray and freshman running back Isaiah Crowell but they have a knack for turning the ball over at times and that could prove costly in a close game against a very good team like the one they'll face in the Outback Bowl.
MICHIGAN STATE WILL WIN IF: The Spartans have to remain balanced on offense and limit turnovers. This is the first time the team has won 10 games in back-to-back years and given the bad taste left in their mouths in the Big Ten championship game, figures to a game they come out prepared for and ready to win. Quarterback Kirk Cousins has elevated his game this season, throwing for over 3,000 yards and posting a 24-7 TD-INT ratio. If he can make some plays in the passing game to open things up for Le'Von Bell and Edwin Baker on the ground, MSU should have a great chance to win the game given how good their defense is.
X-FACTOR: These two teams met just three years ago at this bowl game so there is some familiarity between them. Both are also coming off championship game losses and while a trip to Tampa isn't bad, it's not exactly what either had in mind at the beginning of the season. The key to winning this game undoubtedly belongs to who can control the trenches. Michigan State appears to be the more physical team but Georgia's front seven is very good and their offensive line has done better than expected over the course of the season. The Spartans also have an impact player on the defensive line in first-team All-America Jerel Worthy, who should be a load to handle for the Bulldogs' offensive line. Both teams want to play sound football and control the clock so winning the battles along the line will be paramount.
