Now drinking. Yuengling.

YuenglingIt’s been a while. Since I posted and since I did a flavorful, nectar of the gods post.

I go back and forth (rotate if you will) between lagers, ales, and cheap stuff. Sweetwater 420 is my normal favorite, and Miller Lite is my current cheap staple. In Florida a couple of weeks ago I picked up some Yuengling. Yum! For a lager this stuff is smooth, delicious, and not too terribly fizzy.

For some reason Yuengling is not distributed in Columbus (maybe not even Georgia). I had to bootleg some back from Panama City.

So as I write this post I find myself reaching for a second bottle. While the bottles are good, from a tap Yuengling is the stuff of legends. OK, maybe that is going too far, but it is a nice lager.

Georgia gets back on track.

UGA LogoGeorgia took care of business against the Volunteers from Tennessee, 26-14. The game was not as close as the score; the Dawgs beat the living tar out of the boys from Rocky Top.

UGA out gained Tennessee in Total Net Yards 458-209, First Downs 29-10, and Net Rushing Yards 148-1 (yes, the Junkyard Dawgs held Tennessee to one stinking yard). Georgia still had too many penalties (11 to Tennessee’s 10), but they only gave up 76 Penalty Yards to Tennessee’s 97.

What a total, good old fashion, woodshed beating.

What about the rest of the SEC? I thought the #11 Gators were good, despite their misstep against Ole Miss, but I did not think they were 51-21 over #4 LSU good. Wow. Talking about ass kickings.

What the hell is wrong with the #20 Tigers from the Plains? How do they lose to Arkansas 25-22? Seriously, Arkansas sucks. There is no way that Auburn is this bad.

The Starkville Bulldogs upset #13 Vanderbilt 17-14. I guess the Commodores could not stand prosperity.

South Carolina found enough offense to score ten unanswered points in the fourth quarter to pull of a 24-17 win in Lexington over the Wild Cats of Kentucky. Not a good weekend for feline mascots.

Go Dawgs!
