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 […]

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.

I threw Auburn in that poison stew, too. I also threw a kudos to Clemson […]

Big Moment

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 […]

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 […]
