Sunday, August 31st, 2008 at 8:12 am#1 Georgia easily defeated Georgia Southern 45-21, but it was never that close. Georgia was up 24-0 at the half, and 38-0 mid-way through the third quarter before getting a little sloppy.
Uga VII (Loran’s Best) – Sic ‘em
Of course when the competition is a Division I-AA team (or whatever they call it these days), […]
Sound of silence … broken.
Sunday, August 24th, 2008 at 6:17 pmSorry for the sparse updates last week. Business travel, more work stuff, and some family time equaled no time for updates. Actually on the plane to San Antonio I put in some time with Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for the PSP. This one or The Gottlieb Collection are mainstays […]
Georgia #1
Sunday, August 17th, 2008 at 9:13 amGeorgia is ranked #1 in the AP and Coaches Poll. Scary stuff for the start of the season. As I said after the Coaches Poll was released, I will certainly pull for the Dawgs, but I think they have little chance of going undefeated.
The schedule is just too f’ing hard. I see […]
Friday Morning Bliss
Friday, August 15th, 2008 at 6:10 amYesterday was one of those rough ones. You know the kind of workday where you come in early, leave late, see oh so little light at the end of the tunnel, but finally get some closure to the day so you can go home to your sleeping family kind of days? One of […]
NCAA Football 09 Patch #1 Released
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 at 7:28 pmFinally! I am downloading it as we speak. Been a long wait, but at least we finally have the roster patch. Before starting a session of Madden, I decided to throw in NCAA Football 09 to see if I would be prompted for an upgrade. Imagine my surprise to (finally) see that […]
Georgia suffers the injury bug.
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 at 10:50 amEarlier this week starting LF Trinton Sturdivant had a knee injury and was taken to the local hospital as a precaution. It looks like he is going to be done for the year. This is a huge blow for the Bulldogs because Sturdivant was a member of the SEC All-Freshman team, starting all […]
NCAA Football 09 Patch Mess
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 at 12:30 amAs I said a few minutes ago, PS3 users are still waiting for the “roster” patch (or patch #1) to be released. I really do not understand what the hold up is, but when I started up Madden 09 I was presented with a 24MB download for v1.10. If EA can have a patch ready […]
Madden and the bitter old man.
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 at 10:51 pmAs of 9:30 PM EST, the NCAA Football 09 patch has still not been posted. Where is the f’ing patch for the PS3? Now that Madden is out, will anyone care? I love NCAA Football (the series, not necessarily this year’s game) so I want to see a quality gameplay patch, but […]
Madden Countdown (Amazon Ships Madden)
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 at 6:31 amIt looks like Amazon has delivered on their “Release-Date Delivery” option. Madden shipped last night from their Louisville, KY distribution center, and is currently in Albany, GA UPS facility, which is about 90 minutes from my house. Amazon used the “Next Day Saver” option, but that should still be good for delivery late […]
PixilJunk Eden Update
Monday, August 11th, 2008 at 6:59 pmI am really enjoying Eden; it is like three games in one. First, is the whole, complete all the levels while exploring concept. Second, is the high score and race against the clock old school gaming concept. Third, is the trophy reward system, which is well, a rewarding gaming concept.
I am not […]
Matt Ryan makes his debut.
Sunday, August 10th, 2008 at 12:45 pmWhile the Falcons took one on the chin last night, 17-20 at Jacksonville, there was encouragement. Matt Ryan was 9/15, for 113 yards, and 1 TD. He started off shaky, and at times his throws were a little off, Ryan managed to direct the offense fairly well.
Redman started, and did not look so […]
Olympic Stuff
Sunday, August 10th, 2008 at 10:41 amI have not really been too inspired to watch must of this year’s Olympics. I have seen a few random sports here and there – men’s swimming, a few minutes of men’s gymnastics, women’s field hockey, and woman’s handball. I had no idea the last two were even sports. Lacrosse is one thing, but field […]
Qore Episode 3
Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at 6:10 pmI just downloaded Qore Episode 3, and was not left feeling very satisfied. For starters, it was a pain in the ass to download this episode. I thought part of the deal with a Qore subscription was that new episodes would automatically be detected and downloaded. Not so much. I could […]
PS3 NCAA Football 09 Patch MIA.
Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at 2:23 pmSo where the heck is the NCAA Football 09 patch for the PS3? It is already out for the 360 … no news on when it will be available for the PS3, but perhaps any day. One of the developers posted the following yesterday at OS:
“The patch is back with Sony now. We […]
Madden 09 Countdown (3 days).
Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at 8:54 amI was just about to pre-order the Madden 09 Collectors Edition from ebgames, but decided against it because the total price was a shocking $108.58 ($89.99 + $11.49 Next Day Shipping + $7.10 Tax). I decided that I did not need the game next day that bad. Seriously, there was a time and […]
