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 […]

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 […]
The Return
Dual threat quarterback Nick Marshall makes his first career visit to the Classic City as the starter for sister school Auburn Saturday night at 7:15 p.m. Marshall was kicked out of UGA for theft, and later his continued disciplinary issues resulted in him missing a half a game at the halfway house on The Plains, […]
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 […]
Beauty and the BEAST

Week two again saw only one SEC-on-SEC contest: ESPN televised GEORGIA […]
P44 Haynes ~ Hobnail Boot
Dear readers, let us fondly now recall Mark Richt’s first big rivalry win, and the second greatest call ever by Larry Munson (Run Lindsay #1, of course). Mr. Munson will always be the single greatest radioman of all time. No audio here…none needed. It’s in your brain and heart. RIP, Larry. GO, Richt!
WHY I HATE TENNESSEE
1. Fans trapped in early Fulmer era who pretend we aren’t the better program. 2. Rocky Top. 3. Checkerboard endzones. 4. Peyton Manning (from Louisiana). 5. The streak of 9 UT wins over 11 years (busted by Jim Donnan in Athens). Honorable mention: That shade of orange.
THIS is SEC Football
Until only a minute-and-a-half was left in a tough first half, GEORGIA and Missouri were locked up in a 3-3 defensive battle in America’s heartland. Senior cornerback Branden Smith took a bad coverage angle, and Mizzou held a 10-3 advantage. Suffering adrenalized overthrows all half, Murray suddenly settled down and started hitting T.K., Bennett and […]
