The Bulldog Nation Mourns
Rest in peace, UGA VI. You were a good dawg.
Blackout!
For the first time in UGA history, the players come out in black jerseys. I didn’t even GO to Georgia, and I got chills.
According to the CBS sideline reporter, the players didn’t even know they were wearing them. She said they turned out the locker room lights, had a pre-game prayer, and when the lights […]
Amazing Football Play
No, I’m not talking about Georgia - Florida…although that WAS awesome…woof, woof…
I’m talking about the last play of the Trinity vs Millsaps game. Who? Just watch…FIFTEEN laterals in the final 2 seconds to win the game!

He looked like he would have some deep, frightening voice…but he had the clearest, most beautiful tenor I’ve ever […]

One one channel, you’ve got very British and Scottish announcers speaking in hushed, reverent tones, and then you switch to the other and hear some hick say “Well, the 29 got up into […]
Quote Of The Day…
Tony Dungy said it live during the Lombardi Trophy presentation. And of course (pardon me while I get on a small soapbox) the quote has been repeated NOWHERE in the mainstream media. After Jim Nantz asked Dungy about the “social significance” of the award…
“I tell you what…I’m proud to be representing African-American coaches, to be […]
Super Bowl Observances
1) National Anthem by Billy Joel - Yeah, baby. That’s what I’m talking about. No over-the-top Mariah Carey wannabes, mangling the melody. Give me a straight rendition. Give Francis Scott some respect. Anna wondered what happened to the poor piano in the rain. Is it ruined? Will it be auctioned off for charity?
2) Fly-over by […]
