Today we are going to hop into the time machine and take a ride back into the past. Way back into the past. Think peace, love, hippies, flower children (oops–wrong decade), gas rationing, bell bottoms, disco, shag carpet, lime-green polyester suits (Okay, I’d better stop there. I don’t want to cause anybody to have nightmares.)
Yes, [...]

Georgia-Auburn: This Was Huge
Posted in Sports on November 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This was huge.
But then, it usually is whenever Georgia and Auburn mix it up. In 1982, sugar fell from the sky when Georgia beat Auburn in Auburn. In 1983, Auburn beat Georgia and that marked the first of several SEC championships that they would win under Pat Dye. In 1986, Georgia beat then-no. 8 Auburn [...]

Well, it is about time to start thinking of where Georgia will wind up in a bowl game–that is, if Georgia winds up in a bowl game this year. There are a few possibilities floating around out there, and none of them seem to be particularly appetizing.
Most analysts have Georgia playing Missouri in the Independence [...]

Amundsen-Scott Station, Antarctica, is a crazy place. It is consistently one of the coldest places on the face of the earth, with temperatures well below -100 degrees (Fahrenheit) and windchills well below -130 during the height of the Antarctic winter.
The sun does crazy things in the sky over Amundsen-Scott Station, Antarctica, as well. The sky [...]

Not that I actually expect this to happen. I am a realist, you know. But just on the off chance…
Here is a nifty little rant that I put up the morning of Florida-Georgia 2007. I think it might have worked–Georgia actually did beat Florida that year. Take a gander, people.

Guess what, people? It’s Florida-Georgia time again!!!!! And you know what that means: Time to hop into the time machine and take a blast into the past. Might as well, because there is not much reason to expect this year’s Florida-Georgia to be worth remembering–unless you are doing some extremely potent drugs.
So back back back [...]

Posted in Quick Hits, Sports on October 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Well, I know when the Bulldog Nation is all in a frenzy. I can tell when a disappointing loss has caused all the Georgia fans to start calling for Mark Richt’s head, because I get lots of hits from people searching under the terms “fire mark richt”.
And this week the calls for Mark Richt’s head [...]

UPDATE: AJC sports columnist Tony Barnhart offers a reasoned view of what Georgia must do to fix what ails them.
UPDATE: Birmingham News sports columnist Kevin Scarbinsky offers his own take on the Georgia situation, in which he likens Mark Richt to Tommy Tuberville who got fired at Auburn last year. Just one quibble: Tuberville had [...]
