Happy Trails Uga VI.
Sunday, June 29th, 2008 at 5:44 amUga VI passed away last night, bringing to an end a most remarkable career as Georgia’s top Dawg.
Damon Evans, UGA athletics director, bestowed the highest praise on the beast that he could Saturday, in a statement:
“Uga VI was a damn good mascot and a damn good dog,” said Evans.
Well said. God speed Uga VI.

Football annual time again.
Saturday, June 28th, 2008 at 4:45 pmEvery year I fight the temptation to not spend a bucket load of money on the football annuals, and every year I fail to resist the urge. Today I threw out several annuals - Phil Steele’s 2007 College Football Preview, Lindy’s Southeastern 2007 Preview, CBS College Football 2007 Season Preview, Athlon Sports Southeastern 2007 Preview, […]
The one that got away.
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 at 8:00 pmAs I write this, Georgia is down 6-0 to Fresno State. 12 at-bats left, so there is still time, but the reality is this one is over. Too bad.
Yesterday Georgia blew a 5 run lead. Today they never got it kick started. Give credit to Fresno State; they earned it.

Out of the Park Baseball 9 Released
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 at 4:43 pmMy favorite line over in the Out of the Park Baseball forum by StrangerFan:
“Dear Lord, crack addicts needing a fix show more patience than some on here.”
That about sums up the OOTPB9 hysteria over at Out of the Park Baseball. I am paying full price for the game and will take a look at […]
Bulldogs amazing run continues.
Sunday, June 15th, 2008 at 8:03 amLast night, the #8 seed Georgia took down #1 seed Miami 7-4, by scoring 4 runs in the 9th inning. Impressive stuff, especially if consider that Miami was previously 45-0 when taking a lead into the 9th inning.
Next up is Stanford, Monday night at 7PM. Go Dawgs!

Bummer of bummers. Smoltz down and out.
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 at 5:55 pmWhat a said day to hear that Smoltz is having season ending surgery. The reality is that this could finally close the books on a wonderful career.
As an Atlanta Braves fan I am somewhat biased, but Smoltz is one of the best pitchers of my generation.
Sad to see that his body is giving up […]
Georgia advances.
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008 at 5:36 amThe Bulldogs beat the tar out of the bumblebees, 18-6.
Georgia (39-22-1) pounded out 18 hits off of six Yellow Jacket pitchers and scored at least two runs in six different innings to beat Georgia Tech for the second straight night and advance to next week’s Super Regional. The Bulldogs will host NC State, which beat […]
Weekend backyard pest hunt.
Monday, June 2nd, 2008 at 9:25 pmIt was a pretty good weekend for a backyard pest hunt with my Beeman R7. The score? One starling, one treerat, and one chipmunk.
First up was the hunt for starlings. After doing a lot of reading, learning how to identify these pest birds, and reading in the GA regulations that there is […]
Can Georgia take four in a row?
Monday, June 2nd, 2008 at 8:45 pmAfter going down to Lipscomb 10-7 in game one of the Athens Regional, UGA has been on a tear. The impressive Bulldogs have won three in a row, including two games on Sunday to force tonight’s winner take all match up against the bumblebees. The Dawgs beat Louisville 9-8, beat Lipscomb 14-3, and shutout GA […]
