    Eight was too much to ask.

    The scoreboard said Georgia Tech 45 – Georgia 42, but the real score was 26 – 0, as the Bumble Bees beat the living tar out of the Dawgs in the third quarter. What an awful quarter of football.

    Georgia played four bad quarters of football this year. Alabama raced out to a 31 – 0 lead in the first half during the infamous “Blackout”, and Florida kicked the Dawgs tails 21 – 0 in the third quarter in Jacksonville. I think the poor third quarter play yesterday between the hedges against Tech ranks right up there in a season full of disappointments.

    Seven years in a row was a nice run. The sun is still coming up in a few minutes …

    Home Beta

    2 comments

    A few minutes ago I noticed that I had several PlayStation Network emails in my gmail inbox. I do not normally read the PlayStation emails; I have a gmail filter to send archive them to a specific folder. For whatever reason Sony is canceling the Underground service, which means the from address is now PlayStation Network, so a new gmail filter is in order.

    I was curious, so I looked in my Underground archive and saw the email about being invited to the Home Beta. I cannot remember how or why I signed up. Maybe part of Qore? Who the hell knows? I am only a couple months behind on my Qore downloads, and I have not signed on to the PS3 in a six to eight weeks.

    So maybe tomorrow I will have a reason to power up the PS3 to see what Home is all about.

    It has been a while since I posted anything, and today was as good a place to start again as any.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    Ouch. Not sure what else I can say about the good ole fashion ass whipping Florida put on Georgia to the tune of 49-10. The better team won, but I will say that I hope Georgia sends the game tape to the SEC office, because there were some seriously piss poor calls. I do not think a better officiated game would have changed the results, but the score could have been a lot different.

    Painful loss for Texas, which culminated in a weak effort by a Texas defender trying to stop Crabtree on the final play of the game. It is one thing to defend a perfectly thrown ball, it is another think to push someone four inches out of bounds. Just like that, Texas’ dream season came to a crashing halt at the hands of the Raid Raiders, 39-33.

    Bummer of a college football weekend.
