Georgia coach Mark Richt turned politician late Saturday night as he lobbied for his No. 4 Bulldogs to land a spot in the national championship game. Richt stated his case after watching No. 1 Missouri and No. 2 West Virginia lose on Saturday night, opening the way for No. 3 Ohio State, Georgia, No. 5 LSU, No. 6 Virginia Tech and perhaps other teams to be included in the new national championship debate.

Georgia sports for Tuesday, October 30th
The first major trade of baseball’s offseason was made by the Braves and their new general manager Frank Wren. Veteran shortstop Edgar Renteria has been sent to the Detroit Tigers, in return for 2 top prospects. 21-year-old rookie righthanded pitcher Jair Jurrjens comes to Atlanta, along with young 19-year-old centerfielder Gorkys Hernandez. Renteria leaves the Braves after 2 solid seasons. He hit .332 with 12 homers and 57 RBI’s this past season. The money saved in the trade of Renteria and his contract opens up more options for the Braves in reshaping their roster.
Georgia Bulldogs' football coach Mark Richt has sent a letter of apology to the commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, Mike Slive. The letter apologizes for his team's bench-clearing and excessive celebrating penalty in the win over Florida last Saturday. Richt admitted he told his team in practice leading to the game, that in order to manufacture energy, his players should celebrate after scoring the first touchdown to the point of receiving a celebration penalty. Richt in his letter said "I admit this was inappropriate". An official with the SEC says the letter will stand as the conference's statement on the issue, and that no sanctions are planned.
Georgia State has given athletics director Mary McElroy a new 4-year contract. The deal replaces the remaining 2 years on her orignial contract, signed in July of 2005. McElroy in just over 2 years with the Panthers' athletics program has increased fund raising, hired a new men's head basketball coach, and has completed a feasibility study on the possibility of bringing football to Georgia State.

The Georgia Bulldogs celebrated in the end zone early and on the sideline late.
They probably should have hoisted Knowshon Moreno and Matthew Stafford on their shoulders for both.
Moreno ran for a career-high 188 yards and three scores, Stafford threw three touchdown passes and No. 20 Georgia upset ninth-ranked Florida 42-30 on Saturday in a game filled with big plays and momentum shifts.
