I was too distraught (pissed off would be a better description) after yesterday’s 33-30 3OT debacle to Michigan St. to bother throwing up (literally) and article on the disappointing day. The game was indicative of everything that has been wrong with Georgia over the last 2-3 years. No, I’m not forgetting the nice little 10 [...]

Record Day for Falcons

No comments

Hapless Bucs or not, yesterday’s 45-24 destruction of Tampa Bay was a record setting day for the Falcons, and earned ATL the #5 seed in the playoffs. Records broken: 42 first half points; most every in a half. Ryan single season passing yards pushed Jeff Georgia out of the top spot. Turner now holds the [...]

I’m sitting around on my bum today because the Falcons have a rare ‘off’ Sunday. Nice little ‘reward’ for getting my family safely back home from the Georgia Dome Friday morning, 2AM’ish. The Falcons absolutely demolished the Jaguars 41-14 on Thursday Night Football, NFL Network style. Thankfully I have the Red Zone in HD for [...]

UGA – Marshall Adds Depth

No comments

As longtime readers know, I never put much stock into rating recruiting classes. What does it mean if a university lands a Top 5, Top 10, or subpar class? It is all based on conjecture and predictions, only no one can predict how a young kid is going to react once they get away from [...]

Woof, Woof, Woof

As I write this, UGA is stomping the Bumbling Bees of Tech, 31-10 (2:57 left in the 3rd Qtr). Heading to Wal-Mart Mr. Johnson? Near the end of his show, a caller, presumably a Georgia Bulldogs fan, came on the air and said, “Hello? Hello?” and then began barking before either hanging up or being [...]

Just win baby. At the end of the day, can any self-proclaimed Dawg loving fan say that today’s matchup in ATL against Tech doesn’t really have any significance? Can anyone say that next week’s date with LSU via the SEC Championship is more important? To quote myself “Let’s beat the *^$# [call it snot for [...]

Hook ‘em – One Last Time?

No comments

What a great way for the Horns to (in all probability) wrap up this rivalry, taking out the Aggies 27-25. Justin Tucker kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired to give the Longhorns a 27-25 victory over Texas A&M on Thursday night in the likely end of a more than century-old rivalry. Texas A&M’s [...]

Not really, but I have always held the notion that if Turner gets 100, the Falcons win. What about the notion of if Matt Ryan has a good day, the Falcons win? I was surprised to see this tidbit on Ryan: Ryan finished [Nov 20 win over Titans] with a 110.9 NFL passer rating. Since [...]

The new Corvette Daytona Prototype is a real beauty, dare I say stunner. I cannot wait to see this DP run in 50th Anniversary Rolex 24 at Daytona in 70 or so days (Jan 28, 2012).

Falcons Playoff Chances?

No comments

Just thought I would bring it up, since the Falcons front office just sent out notification for playoff tickets, which is really just a way to hoodwink season ticket holders. Is it really necessary to send out ‘invoices’ before Christmas? Before we even know if there is a home game in our future? You have [...]

Historic Day

No comments

Sunday, November 20, 2011, was very much a historic day as one of my top three favorite NASCAR drivers, Tony Stewart, became a three time Champion. I think it is pretty amazing that an owner/driver (Stewart-Hass racing) was able to achieve this accomplishment. Stewart’s Homestead-Miami Speedway victory and Championship drive was even more amazing considering [...]

UGA = 2011 SEC East Champions

No comments

Yes, UGA overcame a 0-2 start to finish the drill and capture the SEC East crown. On Saturday, his Bulldogs finished this latest drill. Yes, they were aided by a schedule that eased after the back-to-back whammy of Boise State and South Carolina, but it isn’t as if Georgia backed into anything. It has won [...]

Why I Love College Football

No comments

Cyclones. Cowboys. On ‘paper’ not really worth watching. Friday night I kept checking in on the game during the first half, between Skyrim sessions, and didn’t see anything captivating, worth holding my time or attention. However, it had been a long week, so I decided to just veg out, have a few cold ones, turn [...]

I was going to post this last night … and then earlier today, but just couldn’t get “into it” enough to push forward. I don’t care what anyone says about the percentages; by golly, you have to be able to get a few lousy inches … just one f’ing yard … to keep the drive [...]

Dawgs Bite Paper Tigers …

No comments

Was Georgia that good, in their 45-7 thrashing of Auburn, or did the Tigers forget to War Eagle, instead rolling over offering up one of the most lopsided losses in this series? Georgia finished with its biggest win in the series since a 41-0 triumph in 1946. Probably a little of both, but in this [...]
