“Tale of Two Saturdays”
In my humble opinion, the penultimate level of amateur athletics is American college football, and the end of year rivalries, including state championships, are just too savory not to be enjoyed. Tale of two Saturdays. Again. As it’s been so many weeks, so many autumnal years. Hanging with the #Marshall crew before the game today, […]
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.

Remember Hampton, Remember Herschel. Tate Center right near there too, like Olandis Gary – WE RUN THE BALL at Georgia. And when we […]
Big D In the Classic City
Hailing from Ft. Worth by way of Austin, I’m a native Texan and third-generation Cowboys fan. Long ago, the Atlanta Falcons beat Dallas in a regular season match, causing my beloved Nanny to be the first to utter the term “Dirty Birds.” And when Steve Bartkowski went down to Danny White in the playoffs I […]
