GONE BOWLIN’

One way to think of it would be an early retirement-like, second-tier type final job, getting out of the SEC pressure cooker and either it works out big at Miami or it doesn’t but, dude, you are from Boca. Half the country would love to empty nester old-age-it-up somewhere in the Sunshine State, and you […]

Big Moment

Big moment for our program as the World’s Largest Cocktail Party looks to be called GEORGIA-FLORIDA instead of “Florida-Georgia” for the next full year. I propose the winner get first name in the series and the losing fans HAVE to say it the right way or face public ridicule. It’d be cool. Big moment in […]

“Cocktail Party” (poem) by Han Vance

Writer (author/journalist/poet/blogger) Han Vance won the Harriette Austin Poetry Award for ATL Fire (published by Silver Stone Press in 2015) and is the aspiring Georgia Bulldogs Poet Laureate. Cocktail Party (C) 2006 HV This is what it comes down to. This, and Auburn, but this sets up the Auburn game. For the Auburn game to […]

An Ecstatic Homecoming

The dust has settled on a 9-6 (American League of baseball-like) slugfest Homecoming Saturday night Between the Hedges. Mizzou, the two-time back-to-back belt-holding SEC East champions gimped into the Classic City hungry for a win of any variety after being badly diverted at home by the upstart Florida Gators – the sudden clear favorite in […]

Vast Depths of Tradition

Between the Hedges – 1785 Chapel (Victory) Bell – Arch Track People – Lone Horn Uga – Hairy Dawg Classic City – ’42 & ’80 OGs to New JAX City next week with our vast depths of tradition, versus: these newjack fools as rivals, not even Southern in most part anymore those Cocktail Partiers, yet […]

Richt’s Folly Could Still Net Crown

Mark Richt fell to 3-3 versus the University of Alabama Saturday amidst torrentially soggy conditions in the Classic City of Athens, Georgia. 4-1 Bama surged to #10/#8 in the (meaningless post-BCS) polls with UGA tumbling to #19/#16 after a humiliating 38-10 loss. Richt still has a .500 or better record versus every SEC school not […]

Border Bash Kicks Up SEC Intensity

Speaking of kicks, Morgan better get his head correct and start splitting the uprights regularly again or it will soon cost us wins. He shanked two at Vandy, but our squad had too much overall talent this season to fold in the Music City. Much tougher destinations loom on the not too distant horizon. We […]

Being Greyson Lambert

You had no pass protection nor running game. You graduated. You moved home. You were third string. See, we all go through major trials and tribulations in this life, and many of us come to an important crossroads on occasion and are forced to reevaluate and decide. 11. 13. ~ That’s the stat line that […]

Cocktail Party (c) ’06

Full-length version of my award-winning football poem: This is what it comes down to. This, and Auburn, but this sets up the Auburn game. For the Auburn game to be truly huge, the Dawgs have to win this game. Every year…And, we have won it exactly 2 of the last 16 godforsaken years. Our Quarterback […]
