Pre-game warm ups

Noon

Still sampling the cookie tray and holy crap are these things good! Soft chocolate cookies filled with peanut butter...oh man, pull up a chair!

The two teams have taken the field for pre-game warm ups and the marching bands welcomed them with their respective fight songs. As you can see from the photo that is Michigan State warming up and I'm keeping a close eye on the kickers from both teams. The wind continues to swirl...MSU band is striking up again.

That head in the picture? That is Wojo from the Detroit News. It is sunny and about 60 degrees right now. The near sideline is the Michigan State sideline and the press box is behind that between the two levels.

I saw Todd Blackledge a short while ago getting some food. I thought about taking him out so I can take over the Color analyst along side Mike Patrick. Just kidding, great duo they are. Georgia band just fired up. The Bulldogs are wearing their all white jerseys and pants while the Spartans are in their Green Jerseys with white pants.

I was just handed pregame notes and here is the latest....

#84 Deon Curry will start at wide receiver for the Spartans in place of the fullback position. Starting linebackers are Eric Gordon, Greg Jones (what an animal Jones is) Ryan Allison and Kendell Davis-Clark will start at free safety in place of Danny Fortener.

Georgia has no changes on their offense. Game time decision at the starting defensive end spot.

Today's captains are Brian Hoyer, Otis Wiley, Javon Ringer and Justin Kershaw for the Spartans. Honorary captain is Earl Morrall, former Spartan and member of the 1972 undefeated Miami Dolphins.

Bulldogs will trot out Matthew Stafford, Mohamed Massaquoi, Asher Allen and Corvey Irvin.

The wind is blowing at 24 miles per hour and the temp has jumped to 67 degrees.
