hoop hounds report
Senior Day in Athens and strong senior guards Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann don’t want to sail off into the ol’ sunset without ever making a late season run. Three years ago, I was working on the SLINGSHOT FESTIVAL promo and press team and shook off a late night of Classic City working-sic-imbibing in time […]
Returneth
A la Mettenberger, I’m bound for the Classic City. Early morning Megabus double-decker from ATL to downtown ATHENS, GA, I’ll be… Little early still, so, today I’m looking at the huge influence of our school’s attendees. You’ve got little ol’ me plus many other more (currently) prominent media types. Famous folks, even, like Michael Stipe […]

Basketball Twos
There is no comparable SEC number two to the Big Blue. Georgia is heavily favored to beat Kentucky in football Saturday at noon to win the SEC East; UGA is rarely favored against Kentucky in basketball. The Hoop Hounds are playing without their best two players from last season: Travis Leslie and Trey Thompkins left […]

Now, It’s Really Football Season
After the Hoop Dawgs were bounced from the first round after late selection for the NCAA basketball tournament, Georgia fans found focus on spring football and an impending rebound from Coach Mark Richt’s first ever losing season (6-7). The baseball program, up and down all season, suddenly surged onto the radar of the average Georgia […]
Diamond Dawgs Still Alive in NCAA Regionals
In Corvallis, Oregon, behind Levi Hyams 4-of-5 performance Georgia beat Arkansas-Little Rock Saturday. Playing in an NCAA tournament elimination game, the baseball team stayed alive by easily winning 7-3. After a decent run in the SEC tournament in Hoover, Alabama, UGA dropped a close opening game to Creighton on Friday, which knocked them into the […]
Diamond Dawgs Take Tech at The Ted
UGA did much of their damage to 9th-ranked Georgia Tech in the 4th inning and then added an insurance run late, which proved unnecessary as the DAWGS beat their arch rival Yellow Jackets by 2 runs in front of over 18,000 fans. Tech beat Georgia in 2 earlier match-ups this season, so the UGA football-basketball-baseball […]
