THE GEORGIAS BRACKET: SEMIFINALS

The time has come to decide our finalists. The winners of these polls will represent their respective half of the bracket, and determine who the Fan-favorite Georgias player is. (or at least, the Fan-favorite as far as the people on Tumblr voting in this bracket are concerned).

Our final four candidates are all Georgias OGs from the Expansion Era, including Rigby Friedrich (one of the league's all-time best performers), Niq Nyong'o (arguably the most important player in our lore), Flattery McKinley (a magnet of misfortune that caused many of our most memorable stories), and Neerie McCloud (who spent so long Elsewhere, her name pretty much became synonymous with it). (More in-depth summaries are on the poll posts themselves.)

If you want to bring your favorite to the very end, then don't forget to #Vote!

But first, some Semifinals Statistics!

Both Rigby Friedrich and Niq Nyong'o dominated their respective polls, getting 77.1% each out of 35 votes, and leaving Randy Dennis and Frankie Hambone in the dust! Will they be able to keep this momentum going all the way to the finals? Or is this their final hurrah before they get taken down by more formidable opponents?

You know who didn't dominate their respective poll? Flattery McKinley, who only narrowly beat out Fish Summer with 51.6% of the vote, officially marking the closest poll of the entire event! This was also the poll with the most votes, getting 64 votes total.

The final four players are, in fact, seeds 1-4, showing I probably did something right with my seeding process.

As always, anyone is allowed to participate in voting, whether or not you're familiar with the Georgias (or even Blaseball in general). Just vote for whichever player you like more in each pair, and winners will progress to the Semifinals! And don't be afraid to do a bit of campaigning for your favorites, if you feel like it.

You can find all matchups under the #georgias bracket semifinals tag on our blog, or in the list below:

Rigby Friedrich vs. Neerie McCloud

Legendary Alabama Coach Nick Saban Bids Farewell

Nick Saban, widely hailed as the greatest college football coach, has announced his retirement after an illustrious 17-year run at Alabama, leaving behind a legacy of 6 national titles.

A Legendary Coaching Career

Saban, 72, led the Crimson Tide to unprecedented success, securing six national championships in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2020. His final championship in 2020 marked his seventh national title, surpassing the legendary Bear Bryant. "The goal was always to help players create more value for their future, be the best player they could be, and be more successful in life because they were part of the program," Saban stated. https://twitter.com/BruceFeldmanCFB/status/1745207149960335652

Unprecedented Achievements

Saban's impact extended beyond championships. Under his guidance, Alabama produced four Heisman Trophy winners: Mark Ingram II (2009), Derrick Henry (2015), DeVonta Smith (2020), and the most recent, Bryce Young in 2021. "A truly remarkable career for Coach Saban," praised Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne. "What an honor it has been for us to have a front-row seat to one of the best to ever do it." https://twitter.com/mikerodak/status/1745244963128938533

Unmatched Success and Records

Saban's teams achieved winning seasons every year since 2008, culminating in a 12-2 record for the 2023 season. His influence reached the NFL, boasting an impressive 49 first-round draft picks, a testament to his coaching prowess. "There was no more perfect pairing than Saban and Alabama," with fans holding him in the highest regard, noted the reports.

The Future of Alabama Football

As the Alabama coaching chapter closes, attention turns to Saban's successor. Potential candidates include Dan Lanning, Steve Sarkisian, Dabo Swinney, Kalen DeBoer, and Mike Norvell. The task ahead involves maintaining the impressive roster talent composition and ensuring a smooth transition. "Alabama's head coaching search is the top priority," emphasized Alabama staff writer Kennington Smith III. https://twitter.com/SkinnyKenny_/status/1745245248656167001

Reflecting on a Legacy

Saban's retirement prompts reflection on his coaching philosophy encapsulated in the "process" - emphasizing hard work, discipline, and relentless pursuit of goals. His wife, "Miss Terry," expressed hope that their legacy extends beyond victories to making a positive difference in people's lives. "The rules for the game of football may change, but the 'process' will never go out of style," noted Terry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taeruJFmZNk In conclusion, Nick Saban's retirement marks the end of an era in college football, leaving an indelible mark on Alabama's program and the sport as a whole. His legacy goes beyond championships, emphasizing the enduring values of hard work and discipline. Read the full article

Michigan: 2023 College Football Playoff National Champions

No. 1 Michigan dominated No. 2 Washington on the ground in the first quarter and allowed itself to be contained for half the game before finishing the fourth quarter exactly as it started the game. The Wolverines piled up a history-making 303 yards rushing while obliterating the Huskies on both lines of scrimmage in a 34-13 victory to capture the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship in Houston and bring a ring back to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the first time since 1997.

Running back Blake Corum led the way for the maize & blue with 134 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 21 touches, but it was Donovan Edwards -- barely contributing all season while dealing with injuries -- who broke loose for two first-quarter touchdowns and totaled 104 yards on six carries. Michigan's 303 yards rushing were not only more than Washington's total yardage in the game (301), it was the most yards on the ground by a national title winner in the BCS/CFP era (since 1998).

Corum and Edwards became the first teammates to each rush for 100+ yards in a national championship since Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon of Alabama in the 2013 BCS Championship Game and the first duo to also rush for two touchdowns each since Mark Ingram II and Trent Richardson of Alabama in the 2010 BCS title game. Meanwhile, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy compiled the fewest yards passing by a winning signal caller (140) since Greg McElroy's 58 yards for the Crimson Tide in that 2010 BCS title game.

For Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh, hoisting the CFP trophy Monday night was a feather in the cap of the ultimate Michigan Man who carried on many tenets injected into the program by his former coach, the legendary Bo Schembechler. Harbaugh, who struggled to beat Ohio State across his first six seasons at Michigan, has now taken down his program's arch rival in three straight seasons, winning as many Big Ten Championship Games and now a national title.

Monday night also concludes a controversy-filled season in which Harbaugh spent six games away from Michigan while serving three-game suspensions that bookended the campaign, one instituted by U-M amid potential NCAA violations and another handed down by the Big Ten amid allegations of improper sign stealing.

A week after surviving an overtime battle against No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl for its first CFP semifinal victory in three tries, Michigan was pushed again Monday night. Washington rallied from an early 17-3 deficit and had the ball with a chance to tie the game early in the fourth quarter. However, after a defensive stand, the Wolverines marched 71 yards on just five plays with Corum's second score, a 12-yard run, pushing Michigan ahead 27-13 with 7:09 remaining.

Washington's top-ranked passing offense struggled to gain traction as Michigan's top-ranked defense proved to be the superior unit. Huskies star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was intercepted twice with the second a game-sealing pick and 81-yard return from cornerback Mike Sainristil with 3:37 remaining. Corum put the finishing touches on Michigan's title win with a 7-yard touchdown run two plays later.

Penix, the runner up in 2023 Heisman Trophy voting, finished 27-of-51 passing for 255 yards in his final college game after leading the Huskies to 21 straight victories over the past two seasons. His pinpoint accuracy and electric play fueled Washington all year, but Penix and his star-studded pass catchers were off their games Monday night with the quarterback sailing passes and his wide receivers dropping multiple balls in key situations.

Michigan won its first national championship since 1997 (split with Nebraska) and first undisputed crown of the modern era This is the Wolverines' 10th national title in program history Michigan became the first No. 1 seed to beat a No. 2 seed in the CFP National Championship (1-3) U-M is the second Big Ten team to win a CFP (Ohio State, 2014) The Wolverines are the first Big Ten team to win 15+ games since the University of Chicago in 1899 McCarthy is now 27-1 in his career as a starter (third-best winning percentage as starting QB in FBS history) Michigan is 40-3 over the last three seasons after going 2-4 in the COVID-19 shortened 2020 campaign Washington's 21-game winning streak was snapped; it was the longest active streak in the FBS Corum rushed for a touchdown in all 15 games this season

Countergifts

“...Although both men and women received an array of items as countergifts in twelfth-century England, male recipients of countergifts tended to receive horses, armour, hunting birds or money. Barthélemy’s study of the Vendôme 1050–1150 found, for example, that, out of fifty five men at Marmoutier, twenty-one received objects relating to equitation. Barthélemy points out that it was not seemly for the nobility to receive farm animals as countergifts and that luxury objects were procured through the acquisition of countergifts. Stephen White pointed out that benefactors of monastic institutions received objects as varied as clothing, jewellery, animals, grain and wine as well as both small and large amounts of money.

Both rightly stress the important influence of social status upon the nature of countergifts that were given to patrons. Yet gender also impacted on the sorts of gifts that were exchanged. For example, although in the twelfth century noblewomen did on occasion receive horses, only two examples have hitherto been located, and both recipients were heiresses. In 1160–70 Emma de ‘Selveleia’ received, with the consent of ‘H.’, her second husband, two marks and a palfrey when she gave lands worth 15s to Luffield Priory. When c. 1170–5 her son and heir by her first marriage subsequently confirmed the grant, he received 20s and a palfrey.

Matilda countess of Warwick received 15s and a palfrey from Henry du Puiset, her nephew by an illegitimate daughter of her father, when she enfeoffed him with lands worth a quarter of a knight’s fee c. 1175–94. The sparsity of the evidence relating to the receipt of gifts such as horses as countergifts suggests that objects and accoutrements associated with horses were deemed more appropriate for male recipients. This was possibly related to ideas about lordship as a male role, and also military functions, which of course were generally associated with men. Where noblewomen received objects of symbolic value, their participation could be linked with their tenurial claims to the land alienated.

Circa 1149–56 Rohais, the wife of Gilbert de Gant, received a gold ring in return for a confirmation charter concerning her dower lands that had been granted to Kirkstead Abbey by her husband. In 1150–60 William earl of Albermarle granted to his niece Eufemia, wife of Robert de Brus (II), her marriage portion, which she then granted to him for life in return for a gold ring and some money. Eufemia’s uncle thus retained control of family land, and perhaps provided her with a wedding ring, since the lands were of her marriage portion, and dowry in the form of a sum of money to take with her to her marriage. 

Circa 1160–70 when Walter of Ingram sold land to Rievaulx Abbey he received fifteen marks, and his wife, Holdeard, who had consented to the sale, which concerned lands of her dower, received a gold ring. Alice de Gant, as well as spiritual benefits, received a gold ring for her confirmation charter to Fountains Abbey of lands of her dower which had been previously granted by her husband, Roger de Mowbray.��In 1194–95 Atheliza Holebagge received one gold brooch from Gilbert de Reding in return for a grant in hereditary right of land worth 2s per year.

In 1189–1220 Juliana of Shudy Camps received a gold ring from her younger son, Moses, when she gave him lands for which he had to render £1 of cumin yearly. When he received lands from his elder brother, Moses gave in return a sparrowhawk. Gender, social status and land tenure interacted to define the sorts of gift that noblewomen received. Both noblemen and noblewomen also received sums of money as countergifts, indeed Tabuteau found that in Normandy this was the most common form of material countergift.

In the late twelfth century Reginald de Meiniers and his wife confirmed their grant in frankalmoign of various lands to the abbey of Robertsbridge. The lands came to Reginald by right of his wife, Matilda, and he thus gave her £12 Anjou of rent out of his mill at Meiniers because she quitclaimed all her land in England to her husband. The monks of Robertsbridge paid £120 for the concession. In another example the countergift apparently functioned as payment of relief. Matilda de Avranches in the late twelfth century received one gold mark for making recognition by charter of a vassal entering lands by right of inheritance.

When Basilia, daughter of Ailrich, c. 1210–15 quitclaimed lands to Robert, son of Matilda, she finalised the agreement in the court of her lord. For the quitclaim and her abjuratione Robert gave her 6s and his wife, Anne, gave Basilia a robe, peplum. This example shows that both husband and wife were involved in giving countergifts to seal a specific transaction and that the wife of Robert was involved in the proceedings at court even though the text of the charter itself does not specifically mention to whom the quitclaim was made. That is, the text states that Basilia quitclaimed to Robert, not to Robert and his wife. 

The countergifts and stipulation of services related to dressmaking were the foundations of an economic agreement agreed between ‘lord’ and vassal. When Emma, daughter of Wimund Ravenildescroft, gave countergifts to Muriel de Munteni and subsequently to her daughter Lecia, she secured her tenure of lands by a combination of money and goods in payment. When Muriel granted the lands to Emma she received a peplum, and her daughter Lecia, on confirming this gift, some sandals. The lands were to be held by a render of 2s annually after Emma’s death by her heirs. These agreements of Lecia de Munteni and her mother, Muriel, with Emma Ravenildescroft suggest the variety of countergifts and that a countergift could apparently be a payment. 

When husbands and wives were involved in joint actions both could receive countergifts; for example, c. 1167–78/79 Hawise countess of Gloucester and her husband, Earl William, both received gold rings from Richard de Lucy when Earl William enfeoffed Richard. In 1192 Ralph fitz Geoffrey and his wife Matilda received twenty marks for their quitclaim made in the king’s court from the monks of Eynsham Abbey. These examples suggest ways that wives were conjointly recognised alongside their husbands when they acted in lordship. 

The specific place of women within familial social hierarchies and their social status in the wider community were both symbolised and confirmed when different amounts of money or different objects were exchanged. For example, in 1135–40 Robert de Sarz and his wife Ragnahild gave lands to Fountains to be held by a render of half a mark yearly. The grant had been given by the counsel and with the goodwill of Ragnahild. In the same period Thurstan archbishop of York confirmed this to Fountains Abbey and Robert received one mark and Ragnahild received 3s.

In the late twelfth century William of Lanvallay received four marks for his acknowledgement of a tenant’s right to land, whilst his wife received two talents. When in the same period Stephen Canute of Whittlesford disposed of lands relating to his wife’s marriage portion he received 14s and his wife Matilda received 12d. Since countergifts reveal social hierarchy such as the place of the individual within the kin, or such as those between husbands and wives, it follows that symbolic countergifts will reflect gender differences related to the meaning and power of those roles. 

Circa 1160 Regenerus the Painter gave Hugh de Camville and his wife, Christina, a countergift, Hugh received a scaccarium (chessboard or exchequer cloth) and Christina wimplaria (wimple/s). Whilst it may be the case that this gift ‘transcended normality’ it also shows gender divisions. Hugh received a countergift which was of practical use, Christina an item of clothing which was gender-specific, since veils were used to cover the hair of married women. If the scaccarium was an accounting cloth, this countergift also reflects the predominance of his economic interest in the joint interest of husband and wife. Husband and wife here acted together to grant land to a painter, indicating patronage of an artist in an aristocratic household in which husband and wife were both involved. 

There are other examples which suggest that countergifts symbolised an individual’s place in the family and in lordship. When in 1123–53 Hugh fitz Richard enfeoffed John of Kington in certain lands in Preston Bagot, Warwickshire, John in return gave him three marks, his son William half a mark and a sword, and Margaret, his wife, half a mark. Margaret, the wife of Hugh fitz Richard, received a payment worth less than that of her husband, but nevertheless her place as wife of the lord was recognised; the gifts of a sword and money received by the son and heir were symbolic of his social status, function and place in the familial and social hierarchy. 

When Roger earl of Warwick confirmed this gift he received in return a white brachet, a hunting bitch. When the widow of Earl Roger, Countess Gundreda, confirmed this the cartulary makes no mention of a countergift. Her son, Earl William, however, received an iron-grey horse and five marks for his confirmation charter. There are therefore complex interrelated factors which explain the sorts of countergifts given. These include the type of transfer the countergift reinforced as well as such contexts as lordship, gender, social status and family links. 

Circa 1150–80 Ralph de Aincurt, Matilda, his wife, William, his son, and Robert gave to John the clerk and Basilia, the daughter of Ralph, four acres of land in Hanworth (Lincolnshire). In return John gave one mark to Ralph and his sons and Matilda received a ‘certain gold ring’ and a coverlet of Lincoln green. Henry II c. 1175 confirmed a sale of a house in Rouen whereby Bernard Comin and his wife, Hawise, received £140 Anjou and a palfrey.

In the late twelfth century Gunnilda, the wife of Robert Sturmi, with the assent of her husband, confirmed his previous grant to the monks of Margam Abbey. For this concession she received four marks, a lambskin for a pellice and twenty sheep. This grant concerned eighty acres of Gunnilda’s dower lands, and since it was her dower land that was sold Gunnilda had to quitclaim, or make public recognition of the sale by charter to ensure the finality of the sale: the countergifts were thus in reality the price of the sale. 

It is difficult to know the precise negotiations which preceded the grant which the charters ratify, but the above examples suggest that wives acted in lordship with their husbands and this was recognised through countergifts, and that the socio-legal contexts affected the type of gift. Thus the nature of the transaction, as well as the land transacted, were equally important: a sale, or exchange of lands for specified ‘countergifts’ which were in reality payments, would obviously be a way of raising funds for a specific need such as financing a journey to Jerusalem, or for combating poverty in widowhood, or gaining goods or services.

…The family hierarchy was mapped out in economic terms, which could also have a symbolic aspect; this tends to confirm White’s suggestion that kinship positions were demonstrated by countergifts. Yet countergifts also illustrate networks of hierarchy beyond the family since women received countergifts from tenants/vassals. In this respect they also reinforced the place of women within social hierarchies within the community. When Gunnilda de Sturmi received her sheep and sums of money from Margam Abbey she did so as lord, with claims to the lands, and as wife: both roles empowered her socially and economically.

 Thus the other hierarchy illustrated in the above examples is that of lordship, patronage and the administration of land. When Matilda de Percy enfeoffed her father’s illegitimate son she acted as patron and landholder, operating in a wider family context. Precisely because ideas about gender underlay the way that women held land, that is, on the basis of the female life cycle, it underpinned ways that they participated in land transfers. Just as witnessing was gendered male, so countergifts when they expressed social status could also symbolise gendered ideas about the place of women in lordship. 

Where countergifts were of a monetary value in those transactions which had the character of a sale, women’s subordinate position was demonstrated by the lesser amount that they received, but also their claim was symbolised and reinforced. Countergifts served to demonstrate the subordinate position of a wife to her husband in society, but also paradoxically placed her at the centre of agreements whilst enshrining her position as a subsidiary but intrinsic party to them. Female participation could thus be predicated on their tenurial interests and thus women appear in transactions as witnesses or as the recipients of countergifts.”
