Following another embarrassing beatdown to a conference rival this season against the Georgia Bulldogs, the Auburn Tigers fans and media want Head Coach Gene Chizik to fire defensive coordinator Ted Roof. In each of Roof's three seasons as the DC at Auburn, the Tigers defense has progressively gotten worse. Often the players on the field look unprepared and lost. Auburn has a lot of talent on their team, and therefore there is no excuse for their defense to be ranked 86th in Total Defense, 97th in Rushing Defense, and 87th in Pass Efficiency Defense. 

Auburn Fans

The Auburn Tigers defense is terrible. We aren't getting any push from our interior DT's, we are missing tackles, we can't stop teams on third down, we aren't getting turnovers, we aren't getting pressure, and we aren't making any adjustments. In our first three weeks, we have given up 624 yards (238 on the ground), 531 yards (333 on the ground, and 448 yards (227 on the ground). The Tigers defense has allowed 35 of 55 third down conversions, or 64%. The Clemson Tigers were even able to convert ten third downs in a row. I can go on forever with terrible statistic after terrible statistic attached to our defense.

I just watched the movie The Ledge and it really made me think, What would you do for the one you love? Would you drop everything and leave it all behind? Could you jump a building if it saved her life? Could you take a bullet to protect him? When it really comes down to it, what would you really do? Most of us can't actually say...but if that moment came and this person meant everything, could you make the choice you never thought you'd have to? For those of you who haven't seen this movie, it's about a guy (Gavin) who finds himself in love with a girl (Shayna) who is married. She's married to a husband who is thoroughly invested in his faith and spreading that faith to everyone he can. She finds herself falling for this new guy, but tells him he has to stay away, as she's afraid of messing anything up. This undoubtedly doesn't happen for very long and she is eventually drawn back to him. They have an affair for a while, until the husband finds out. One day he tells Gavin that in order to save Shayna from the bullet he is holding to her head, Gavin must go to a certain roof top and wait until noon and then jump. While Gavin is on the roof top, he meets a police officer who comes to try and convince him not to jump. The officer himself is fighting a rough patch in his own life as he just found out he has always been sterile and that his kids are not actually his but his brother's (his wife wanted them to look as close to him as possible). At the end of the movie Gavin tell the officer that if the officer were in his position, he'd do the same. Gavin tells him to tell Shayna he loved her and also tells him to go to his wife and move on (that what his wife did, was all for him). Gavin then jumps the building and dies. You may wonder why I'm talking about such a movie and feel like this movie sounds utterly depressing. But the point I'm making is that I'm not sure what most people would do if faced with such a situation as Gavin. Would the majority of us die for the one we love? Would we put our own life aside to save them? Now most of us probably find this difficult to contemplate, but I'd like to think I would personally be able to make the choices that I would never want to be faced with if it really happened. Right now I can say I love my family and I'd like to find a guy to love, and for both I'd give my life in a heart beat. In an instant he made a huge impact on the lives of Shayna and the officer. He made a move not everyone would be able to do. He made a move most of us would likely be too afraid to do. But he did it for the sake of the woman he loved, because she was worth it.

The already rain-plagued Wimbledon tournament has started on Day 3 under the Centre Court roof.

While rain delayed play on all other courts Wednesday, five-time champion Venus Williams and 40-year-old Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm were playing in the main stadium.

The winner of the early match on Centre Court will reach the third round, but there are still 17 first-round matches that have not finished or begun at the All England Club.

Later Wednesday, defending champion Rafael Nadal was to play Ryan Sweeting of the United States on Centre Court. Three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick was scheduled to play in the late match against Victor Hanescu of Romania.

Rafael Nadal opened his Wimbledon title defense with a convincing victory Monday, beating Michael Russell 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 on a "fantastic" day while his parents watched from the Royal Box.

In keeping with tradition, the defending men's champion played the first match on Centre Court at the All England Club _ and the top-ranked Spaniard put on a worthy performance to begin the 125th edition of the championships.

Five-time women's champion Venus Williams, back on her favorite grass surface, also swept into the second round with a 6-3, 6-1 win over 97th-ranked Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan. The American also made a fashion statement, wearing a one-piece playsuit with cutout sleeves that exposed part of her back.

Nadal, coming off his sixth French Open title and 10th overall Grand Slam championship, double-faulted to go down a break 4-2 in the first set against the 91st-ranked Russell. But Nadal buckled down, ran off six straight games to take the set and go up a break in the second. He was in command the rest of the way against the 33-year-old American.

"I started so-so in the first set, but after that I start to hit very well the forehand and I think I finished playing a very good level," Nadal said.

The two players shared a laugh after Russell successfully challenged what had been ruled an ace by Nadal on match point. Nadal won the next point, though, to finish the match in just under two hours.

It was the first time Nadal has walked onto Centre Court as defending champion. After winning the title for the first time in 2008, he missed the tournament the following year with a knee injury.

"Fantastic," he said. "Seriously, I never played in a court like this. (It) was a big emotion to be the first player to play in this fabulous court. It was a very, very exciting feeling."

Watching from the Royal Box were Nadal's parents, Sebastian and Ana Maria.

"Too many beautiful things to see my mom and my dad in the Royal Box,'" Nadal said. "I think for them (it) was a great experience. So, everything in general was very, very nice today."

While Nadal and Williams played in mostly sunny conditions, rain fell in late afternoon and forced organizers to close the retractable roof on Centre Court during the match between sixth-seeded Francesca Schiavone and Jelena Dokic.

Resuming play in covered conditions at 1-all in the third set after a delay of about 50 minutes, Schiavone went on to complete a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 victory over the 45th-ranked Australian.

Schiavone, the 2010 French Open champion and this year's runner-up at Roland Garros, capitalized on two double-faults by Dokic to break for 5-3. With rain drops drumming on the translucent roof, the Italian saved four break points in the next game before winning on her second match point.

With play still suspended on all other courts, the final Centre Court match of the day went ahead under the roof, with fourth-seeded Andy Murray playing Daniel Gimeno-Traver of Spain.

The roof was added to Centre Court before the 2009 tournament and was used once that year because of rain. It was used once in 2010 because of darkness _ artificial lights go on when the roof is closed _ and occasionally to provide shade from the sun, but not because of rain.

Williams, who played at Eastbourne last week after an injury layoff of nearly five months, looked right at home on the Wimbledon grass where she has been so dominant.

She kept her opponent waiting for several minutes on Court 2, with Amanmuradova sitting patiently on her courtside chair for the 31-year-old American to arrive.

Once play started, Williams took Amanmuradova apart in 59 minutes with her hard-hitting all-court game. She served seven aces, broke four times and had 23 winners to only five unforced errors _ none in the second set.

"It's always great to be back," Williams said. "To play a few matches at Eastbourne helped me feel pretty comfortable here. All in all, I'm pretty pleased. I only see pluses for today. I missed being out here playing."

Amanmuradova, who has now lost in the first round at Wimbledon in all four appearances, is taller than Williams at 6-foot-3 and can hit hard. But once Williams found her rhythm, she couldn't be stopped, winning six games in a row and the last 12 points to close the match.

Williams, always the fashionista, sported an eye-catching outfit that featured a deep "V" neckline and a gold belt wrapped around the waist.

"It's a jumper," Williams said. "Jumpers are very 'now,' as is lace. The shoulders have a lot of draping. It's a kind of trendy dress. It's fun. The back is a like a cutout or peekaboo. I'm always trying to do something different and fun."

Williams had been sidelined after injuring her hip at the Australian Open. She had fallen to No. 30 in the rankings but is seeded No. 23 _ the same position she held when she won the tournament in 2007. Playing in her 15th Wimbledon, she extended her record to 69-9.

Williams' second-round opponent will be Japan's Kimiko Date-Krumm, who became the second-oldest women to win a match at Wimbledon, beating Katie O'Brien 6-0, 7-5 on Monday.

The 40-year-old Date-Krumm, the oldest woman in this year's draw, came out of retirement in 2008 but lost in the first round the last two years at the All England Club.

In another featured women's match, 2010 runner-up Vera Zvonareva downed 115th-ranked American Alison Riske 6-0, 3-6, 6-3. The second-seeded Russian looked in trouble after the second set against the 20-year-old Riske, whose best career results have been on grass. But Zvonareva raised her game and closed the match with an ace.

The first seeded man to lose was No. 30 Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil _ 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-2 to 35-year-old German Rainer Schuettler, the oldest player in the men's draw.

Sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych, who lost to Nadal in last year's final, moved into the second round with a 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 win over Filippo Volandri of Italy. He served 12 aces.

Tenth-seeded American Mardy Fish beat Spain's Marcel Granollers 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5), 6-4. Big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic, playing his first Wimbledon, topped Marc Gicquel of France 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-3. No. 14 Stanislas Wawrinka defeated Potito Starace of Italy 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.

Other winners included two Frenchmen _ No. 9 Gael Monfils, who beat Matthias Bachinger 6-4, 7-6 (3), 6-3, and No. 17 Richard Gasquet, who defeated Santiago Giraldo 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (3).

Last week the Big Brother house was divided and this week everyone is shuffling into new alliances.  So far Jeff Schroederand Jordan Lloyd haven’t shown their cards and we don’t know who they plan to target for eviction out of the nominated duo ofDominic Briones and Adam Poch.  I think they are leaning towards outing Dominic.  Personally, I’d rather see them work with Dominic instead of Adam.  Dominic seems more trustworthy and he’s a lot more entertaining.  We watched him establish an alliance of newbies and he stuck with them until the bitter but short end.  Furthermore, he proved he can strategize with the best of them when he made friends with Danielle Danota and he knew the only way to make a connection with her was to flirt.  It worked because she stood up for him with Jeff and Jordan when he needed it most.   If Jeff and Jordan do target him they could make some enemies in the house.  Dominic has a better chance at winning POV over Adam and I really hope he gets it if he needs it.  So far Adam hasn’t been all that impressive as a player.  He lacks support in the house and has admitted to Jeff that he went back on his word.   Afterwards Jeff expressed concern about trusting him.  Jeff did tell Dominic that he must climb the ladder to get to the roof.  I hope he gives Dominic a chance to start climbing and doesn’t send him home.    Do you agree?  Who do you think should be evicted Dominic or Adam?

Let's not even speculate that there will be a DJ for The Royal Wedding. There will clearly be an incomparably skilled string quartet playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons or perhaps Elton John and Lady Gaga will do a duet of Ava Maria-- something spectacular and much more tasteful than a tacky ol' wedding DJ will provide royal friends and fam with regal reception entertainment.

There have been very few really romantic moments on The Bachelorette this season, mostly a lot of whining and confusion coming from Ashley Hebert and all of her guys.  

A little romance showed up when Ames Brown took Ashley up to the roof of their hotel.  They kissed all the way up to the 48th floor.  Ashley called them elevator kisses.  That was a good idea and Ames should earn some points with her, but I don’t think there is much chemistry between them.  

Another romantic segment occurred during JP Rosenbaum and Ashley’s one on one date in Hong Kong.  There’s a lot more chemistry to that couple and JP looks like he’s got a great chance at winning her heart.  Ashley made sure she told JP first about her past feelings for Bentley William saying she wanted to clear the air and assure him that she was over Bentley.  JP didn’t say much but his eyes said it all.  At first he looked so worried I thought he might cry.  Then he looked relieved and joked that he thought Bentley might jump out of the bushes somewhere.  He told the cameras that after their talk he felt more emotionally attached than ever.  His feelings were transparent when he spoke about feeling blown away and crazy about her. JP is OK with feeling vulnerable when it comes to Ashley.  I think she feels the same.  

Do you think Ashley and JP are meant for each other?

For the past three weeks, the Tennessee football team has participated in a community service project with Habitat for Humanity by helping to build a house in south Knoxville for a family in need. On Saturday morning, the Vol seniors will complete the project by installing trim and cabinets, plus other finishing touches.

The Vols have teamed up with Habitat for Humanity through the community service component of the Vol For Life (VFL) program. The UT freshman class kicked off the project on June 4 by handling work related to the frame and roof, followed by the team's sophomores installing vinyl siding June 11 and the junior class taking care of painting work on June 18. Saturday morning, the seniors will finish the job.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. To accomplish these goals, the organization invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need. Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda. Today, it has helped build more than 400,000 decent, affordable houses and served more than two million people around the world.

Baylor's Robert Griffin III (RG3) has shred every defense he has faced this year. Through seven games, his statistics are through the roof as he has led the Bears to four wins and two losses. If the Heisman Trophy Award was really given to the most dominant player in college football, then RG3 would almost assuredly be at least invited to New York for the ceremony. However, that is not what seems to control how people vote.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Mark Richt doesn’t squander tears on a football game.

What is there in a game to make a man cry? Lose to Central Florida on the last day of 2010, come back and try to make it right next September. That’s a challenge, not a tragedy.

Wednesday, far away from the fields of the SEC, Richt cried.

The Georgia football coach stood holding hands with his wife, Katharyn, in a small, crumbling schoolroom off a cratered dirt road that ran up the face of an unnamed Honduran hillside. A man whose language they did not understand was shouting a prayer as if trying to rattle the floorboards of heaven.

So this is what it takes to break down one of college football’s most stoic coaches.

Carlos Cantarero, the rare Baptist preacher in a Catholic land, was very much on his game that day. Dressed in white from neck to pants cuffs, one hand cradling a frayed Bible open to the book of Matthew, the other punching a fist toward the tin roof, Cantarero filled the space with his spirit.

There was so much for which to pray. Life is hard in San Antonio, Honduras. Farmers scratch a living from whatever plot of land they can find that’s not too tilted to plow. They drink untreated water that is the color of chalk, fetched from a half-mile away. Sometimes, in drought, the water barely trickles out, and those who don’t get there early go home empty.

Cantarero had the Richts at amen. Neither sat before first rubbing the mist from their eyes.

He may have little grasp of Spanish, but this much Mark Richt said he understood: “Here was a man crying out to God.”

And the Richts cried along with him. It wouldn’t be the only time they were so moved on a five-day visit last week to this poor Central American nation, a trip undertaken at the invitation of mega international charity World Vision.

How could he have known that day in 1986 as he prayed in Bobby Bowden’s office and gave himself to Christ that he would be led to this distant land? As a grad assistant at Florida State, Richt was in the back of the room as Bowden spoke to his team after the shooting death of Seminoles lineman Pablo Lopez.

“If that had been you, do you know where you’d spend eternity?” Bowden asked.

Those words drilled into Richt’s soul. The next day, he met with the head coach and the direction of his life was forever changed.

Richt has been continually upping the ante on his beliefs ever since — maturing as a Christian, he says — to reach this stage, his most ambitious trek yet into the frontiers of righteousness.

Beyond this tiring fact-finding trip, Richt put a lake vacation home up for sale in order to help finance a whole new level of giving. And it’s not like he doesn’t have other concerns on his mind.

This may be a swing season for Richt at Georgia. Much, including his very foothold on a job he has had since 2001, may depend upon improving on a 14-12 record over the past two seasons.

Some have seized on the argument that Richt has let his Christianity and his desire to apply it outside the locker room distract him from a single-minded pursuit of another SEC championship.

Earlier this year, former Georgia quarterback Fran Tarkenton, an NFL Hall of Famer, laid into Richt on several fronts in a radio interview. Not all his complaints were temporal.

“[Richt] is a wonderful guy,” Tarkenton told Atlanta’s 680 The Fan. “He is a good Christian guy. He wants to be a missionary. He goes on missions. That is a wonderful thing. But do you know the religion of [Alabama’s] Nick Saban? Or [Auburn assistant] Gus Malzahn? Or [Oregon’s] Chip Kelly? I don’t think we care what their religion [is]. We hire them to be football coaches. If we are hiring religious instructors, let’s go to the Candler School of Theology over here in Decatur and get some of their people to come and coach our football team.”

With so much riding on this season, would Richt burrow into his Athens office this summer, if only to give the appearance of a man fully giving himself over to this season?

Quite the contrary. He went to Honduras, for the third time in his life. He left the comforts of a Bulldogs athletic facility just renovated for $33 million and went to places where a small fraction of that money would save lives by the score. That kind of thing tends to broaden a man’s perspective beyond a 120-yard-by-53 1/3-yard field.

This trip was not about a football coach, nor about his wife, Richt constantly reminded the newspaperman and the Fox Sports South tandem that accompanied him. The story was out there, he said, among the poor of Honduras and the World Vision workers who are trying to give them a boost to simple self-sufficiency.

But, of course, it must inevitably get back to him. World Vision can use his notoriety as much as his money: “The coach is basically giving us his Good Housekeeping seal of approval,” said World Vision’s national director of philanthropy, Zack Aspegren.

And, while they decide whether or not to answer Richt’s call to sponsor a child through World Vision, Georgia fans can debate how this all may affect the SEC opener against South Carolina.

Richt rejects any notion that his heightened interest in serving a humanity outside the school’s athletic association mailing list conflicts with the demands of college football’s toughest conference. Success does not require its servants to wear blinders, he argues.

“Ask Tony Dungy if he was that way,” said Richt, beginning to list former big-time professional or college coaches who shared an active spiritual side. “Ask Bobby Bowden. Ask Tom Landry. Ask Tom Osborne. Those guys had success. We’ve had success, tremendous success. Lately, though, it hasn’t been much to write about.

“I think [the idea that winning requires complete tunnel vision] has been proven untrue and it’s still untrue.”

There is a long list of reasons to stay motivated in his profession, Richt points out. Your family, your players, your staff, the fans.

“Being on this trip has certainly added to that list of reasons why we want to succeed,” he added.

It’s a straight-line equation: More winning = longer job life = more money to donate to World Vision.

Higher calling

“The Hole in Our Gospel” is the story of Richard Stearns, a former CEO of the china maker, Lenox, who left that lofty corporate position to lead World Vision.

The bulk of the book is a challenge to the reader to recognize all the blessings he has and the higher calling to share them with the sick and starving world around him.

Some of it Stearns wrote as his personal account of a high-powered executive who came to realize that making fancy dishware and being a good country club Christian was not enough. Scripture demands more. That part spoke loudly to Richt.

Soon after finishing the book, Richt put a call in to the author. They spoke for a while, and shortly thereafter World Vision dispatched Aspegren, the man in charge of courting the charity’s largest donors, to visit the Richts in Athens.

Another transformational chapter in the story of the concerned Christian coach was being written.

When it came out in May that the Richts intended to sell their nearly $2 million second home on Lake Hartwell, bloggers kicked into high gear. Many surmised that Richt was selling in anticipation of losing his job. No, no, Richt was compelled to explain. He was simplifying his life, reordering his priorities in order to give back more.

He and Katharyn decided that sacrificing their cherished getaway place was necessary in order to put their beliefs into action.

The entire family will be affected by the decision to support World Vision. As the Richts
went through U.S. Customs on their return from Honduras on Friday, they discussed a future sit-down with their four children to weigh the difference between wants and needs in order to budget more money for the poor.

The Richts are going to give a significant amount to World Vision — Aspegren’s visit and his presence on the Honduras trip signifies that. Asked if it could be as much as the final sale price of the lake home, Richt replied, “I’m not saying that.”

“[Selling] is to put us in a better position to be more generous,” said Richt, who is paid around $3 million per year.

“You got the upkeep; you got taxes, all those expenses that go along with the house. No matter what kind of income you have, if all your money is going toward paying off a mortgage and upkeep, that becomes more your focus.”

Before the full extent of Richt’s giving will be determined, before he will launch any effort to rally support from Georgia fans and his team, World Vision suggested the coach take a four-hour plane ride to witness its work.

The scope of the charity is vast. Last year, worldwide, it raised nearly $3 billion in contributions. “We’re the No. 1 distributor of food around the world — including McDonald’s,” Aspegren said.

Its primary mission is to establish a basic foundation — clean water, nutrition, health, education — from which the people in poor areas around the world can build decent lives. All in the name of doing Christ’s work. (For more information, go to worldvision.org).

Unlike his other visits to Honduras — once with his entire family on a work mission, once with a few Bulldogs players — this trip was not about picking up a hammer and helping to build a house. This was about learning ways to change the prospects of entire communities.

Emotion pours out

In his life as a major college coach, Richt is famously guarded with his words and his emotions. Nothing seems to shake him from a state of outward calm. His faith insulates him from the chaos of the game or the carping of his critics.

Those who find peace in the material world can have it taken away in the blink of an eye. Hadn’t the economic downturn proven that, Richt asked as he sat in the Tegucigalpa airport, ready to board for home.

“The peace I have is eternal. No matter what happens [on Earth], it is not the same as compared to eternal life,” he said.

Far away from football, Richt showed just a little more of himself.

At a carnival-like event in Gracias, where the children were being taught about the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases through games and contests, Richt smiled uncomfortably as he participated. Asked to name three methods of birth control, he fidgeted and stammered and finally just checked out from answering the question. After mentioning abstinence, he wanted no part of that one.

On a dirt soccer field near Yamaranguila, he couldn’t help himself as he watched kids play with a new soccer ball. He put himself in goal, challenged them to get a shot by him, and was a kid again for a few minutes.

In a quiet moment that same day, outside a school, with no interpreter near, he tousled the hair of an 11-year-old boy who had given a rousing talk and demonstration of World Vision’s impact on his town. “You are going to be a special young man, with God’s help,” he told young Selvin Garcia. Despite the language barrier, they still both noticeably brightened during the exchange.

It was in the village of San Antonio, a particularly deprived pocket in the western part of the country, where the Richts’ hearts were practically plucked from their chests.

A half-mile uphill hike from the schoolhouse where Cantarero offered his impassioned prayer, the Richts came upon the most stunning example of need they would find on this trip.

There, a little girl stuck her hand in a concrete basin filled with murky water, absentmindedly splashing it about. An American would scarcely allow his or her dog to drink from such a dirty pool. Delivered in a stream from somewhere higher on the hill, that was the community’s drinking water. Two women washed clothes in a second basin below that.

Overwhelmed for a moment, off to one side, out of view, Katharyn buried her head on her husband’s shoulder and wept.

Later she explained, “We are so abundantly blessed, and then to see children who have nothing, not even clean water, it’s wrenching.”

“We see a lot of that emotion from people who come here and see it firsthand,” Aspegren said.

There was an overwhelming supply of images to pack for the trip home.

On the final stop of their tour of World Vision projects, before the five-hour drive back to the Honduran capital Thursday, the Richts were taken to one last little church with one more gathering of people, these from the village of Portillo.

Speaking for them was Jose Quintanilla Miranda, who sought a reliable water source for the village so the crops may grow better and the children stay healthier. He told this stranger from America, “This is a beautiful place with still so many challenges. Do not forget about Honduras.”

That would now be impossible for Richt, regardless of how this or any football season tries to consume him.
