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 […]

Raw TV simulcast footage of us recording my 4th-annual bowl show (sports talk radio):
Smart to UGA
Jeremy Pruitt stressed he would like to return as the UGA defensive coordinator immediately after he stoned Tech 13-7 in Atlanta Saturday afternoon. An opening score by 1,000-yard rusher Sony Michel outdistanced the Jackets, who were held scoreless into the 4th yet still had a shot late due to Georgia’s remarkably low scoring output. Georgia […]
“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, […]
Dawgs for 8-of-10 in Old Series
Welcome to the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. An exciting matchup every year, Georgia (6-3) holds a 55-55-8 record versus our “sister school” Auburn (5-4), both programs’ series record on exacta. The first game-between was played in Piedmont Park of Atlanta in 1892, Georgia then coached by Charles Herty. Get this, the game was played on […]
FULLBACK U LOSES A GREAT:
Collision sports of various sorts are all I know, really. Skateboarding tastes like pavement. I could slam dunk hard and was a shot blocker and always the fouling enforcer, on every basketball team I played on, and I’d seek contact in the lane so I could go to the line and drain…their will to win. […]
SEC Power Shifts Middle
At the bottom is an article I posted back in August about these programs: 1. Alabama – going for 3-of-4 nationally, undefeated but largely untested 2. Georgia – 4 and 3 and missing 7 of 22 starters, bad defense, horrible special teams 3. LSU – two losses already and more inconsistent than ever 4. South […]
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 […]
