John Brantley and Jimmy Clausen: Separated at Birth?

File this one away in your memory banks, Dawg fans. Future Texas Florida quarterback John Brantley labelled seeing the Dawg Walk at Georgia "the funniest recruiting experience" in an interview with the AJC. And here I thought the funniest moment of his recruitment was when his daddy grabbed him by the nads and dragged him out of Mack Brown's office and back to Gainesville so he could sit behind Tim Tebow for 2/3 years, which should be a nice warm up for the 1 year he’ll sit behind Cam Newton before transferring to Furman a la Ingle Martin.

I doubt Johnny B. will be majoring in public relations, because few people have ever been stupid enough to provide bulletin board material not only before stepping one slow foot on campus, but before even signing. Every previous victim of this kind of foot-in-mouth disease has been named "Clausen" to my knowledge.

Granted the Dawg Walk is not original, nor particularly awe-inspiring. But it is a tradition-in-progress, like University of Florida coeds letting their arm flab hang at home games. I don't fault Brantley for finding some humor in it. I do think however that anyone who would voluntarily crack on one of the traditions of the University of Georgia football program to the largest newspaper in the state of Georgia quite simply either a) isn't very bright, or b) has a problem with impulse control. Both of which are prized qualities in Gator quarterbacks from my red and black vantage point. As is Leak-esque indecision,Texas Florida fans (did I mention that's one of Brantley's strong suits, too?).

Oh, and if any member of the Brantley family is reading this, rest assured that like so many things in Georgia this post is just meant to be "funny", not insulting.
