It is not 2002 all over again.
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007 at 1:58 pm2002 was the last time Georgia rolled into Tuscaloosa. In 2002, Georgia was an underdog; no one thought they would beat a physical Bama team, but our beloved Dawgs pulled one out with a last second winning field goal on their way to their first SEC title in 20 years. This year, Bama is on […]
Long live Larry!
Friday, September 21st, 2007 at 8:10 pmCame across this article on UGA radio announcer Larry Munson, and just had to post something for those of you that do not familiar with the Southeast or SEC football. Larry is pretty much a living legend, and he will be sorely missed as he starts to cut back on games beginning this weekend.
Take […]
Crosman Sierra Pro 1000 (round two)
Sunday, September 16th, 2007 at 8:18 pmEarlier this week I took my Sierra Pro back to Wal-Mart for an exchange. I had read that maybe there were some quality control issues around this air rifle. The lady behind the returns counter was not going to let me exchange the Crosman; something to do with a no gun exchange policy. […]
Shhh!
Sunday, September 16th, 2007 at 4:24 pmWho dem Texans?
If you want a blueprint on how to build a winning team, just take a look at the Houston Texans these past two seasons. Start with the defense, fix problems with your offense, and sit back while the wins start piling up.
Also, listen to nothing any idiot on ESPN or any other […]
Fanily Affair
Sunday, September 16th, 2007 at 1:10 pmMy brother called me from London yesterday and asked “Have you ever played a game called World of Warcraft?”
It turns out that he’s been playing on the European servers for quite a while now. I imagine a lot of this is going on all over the place. By “this” I mean that there […]
Sunday Sports
Sunday, September 16th, 2007 at 10:59 amIt is always a good day when Ferrari finishes at the front of the pack. As I alluded to below, I hate that Ferrari clinched the Constructors’ Championship on a technicality (Mclaren being dismissed), but I love Raikkonen and Massa finishing one-two this morning at Spa.
Switching to the Chase, I hope we will see […]
Interesting Stepneygate Editorial
Sunday, September 16th, 2007 at 8:50 amPlanet F1 has an interesting on Stepneygate, the regular spying that goes on among the F1 teams, and some details of how Ron Dennis handled what could only be described as a blackmail attempt on the part of Alonso.
The fact that the FIA cannot demonstrate exactly where Mclaren gained a technical edge from Ferrari indicates […]
88, 500K, $100 million, done
Friday, September 14th, 2007 at 8:48 pmPlenty to write about today, but I am going to summarize.
Dale Earnhardt Jr will drive the No. 88 car. This is a pretty good move. Junior gets to stick with the 8 theme, Bush already owns the No. 88 in the Bush series, and the 88 has Cup Championship pedigree.
Belichick got off relatively easy, with […]
Anticipation
Thursday, September 13th, 2007 at 8:53 pmMuch to my surprise, there was a Wii waiting for me when I got home tonight. Yesterday ebgames said my order would ship September 14, but the darn thing was already at home today. If I knew it was that easy, I would have ordered one a long time ago.
Since this is for the kids […]
Wii Cometh
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007 at 8:10 pmLast night I preordered the kids a Wii Play Bundle from ebgames. I know that I have been anti-bundles, but in this case, I did not have to order anything extra (i.e. no crap games and accessories), and I only ordered what I wanted.
My wife and I decided that the kids needed (yes, *needed*) a […]
A hunting we will go …
Monday, September 10th, 2007 at 10:34 pmOver the last few days, I have inadvertently picked up a new hobby; something else to compete with my limited videogame time. Air rifle target practice. The targets being standard paper targets, beer cans, and backyard squirrels. Those pests have gone too far – chewing up pecans that trash the yard and […]
Fighting Chickens take out the Dawgs
Sunday, September 9th, 2007 at 9:43 amWhat went wrong? Where to start?
Georgia was 3-for-18 on third down conversions.
Georgia receivers dropped 3 passes within a yard or two of South Carolina’s goal line.
Knowshon Moreno had 104 rushing yards on 14 carries. I put this one here because of the next item on the list.
Matthew Stafford was 19-44 for 213 yards […]
Great Falcons Preview
Sunday, September 9th, 2007 at 8:11 amThis one is an instant classic:
“Aerial Assualt”
Sometimes quotes are used in writing to indicate sarcasm. This is one of those times. Joe Horn used to be a stud. He is now 35. In terms of someone who is paid to be faster than other people for a living, that is bad news. Almost as bad […]
Bravo!
Thursday, September 6th, 2007 at 11:00 pmGaming journalism is alive and well over at The Escapist. Their Zero Punctuation video review of Bioshock is one of the best game reviews I’ve seen/heard.
Saturday means college football is back!
Saturday, September 1st, 2007 at 1:29 pmThursday night does not really count, even if the SEC was in action, and Friday night was wasted on northern and west coast football. Ah, but Saturday means Georgia football is back! It also means beer, great food on the grill, and bourbon.
This morning I loaded the family into the minivan, and took them to […]
