It’s the 2nd Most Wonderful Time….of the Year

Bar none, fall is my favorite time of the year. Football, cooler temps after a brutal summer heat, the fair, thanksgiving and yes, scary movies around Halloween ( really do like scary movies…not gore ones, but I keep the original Halloween movie on my Tivo year round). That said, my second favorite time of the year is the spring about a week or two before the Masters golf tournament begins.

Everything is beginning to bloom, it is still a little cool but nice enough to get out, Holy Week including Easter happens, spring break, spring football practice, the Georgia G-Day game and the Masters. It is a really cool time to live where we do. You can sense the build up and the excitement to the Masters even a month out. I’m not a golfer. I like to get out on the course, but 1. I don’t have time 2. when I play golf, little children run and hide, screaming all the way. I hate even more to watch golf on TV except….when the Masters comes to town. If I get a pass, I’ll go as often as I can. If I can’t, I’ll be glued to the tv…even in the early rounds.

You can keep up with the results and check out past footage at the Masters official site:

UGA…SEC BBALL CHAMPIONS!

Yeah, that just happened. What an unbelievable run. A team that won 3 regular season games against SEC opponents won 4 straight in the tournament, including 2 in one day. With the amount of talent we lost this year, to win the tournament. Just unreal! How Bout Them DAWGS!!

Greatness and Greatness in the making…

I grew up watching Herschel and the dawgs. I remember watching bowl games in my room on my 10″ Black and White TV with rabbit ears. Now we had color tv’s, but for a middle class kid growing up in the early 80’s, it was something else. Coach Mark Richt has really taken UGA football and restored the glory to it that was gone after Vince Dooley retired, during the Coach Goff/Donnan years. Here’s a video of Herschel and Knowshon Moreno, starting Tailback for UGA.

Super Bowl XLII PowerPoint Game

We released our annual Super Bowl powerpoint game at 4ThoughtMedia.com Thought I’d post a link for those that keep up with some of our product offerings through the blog.

Super Bowl Game

How Sweet It Is…

….UGA brings the smackdown on UH 41-10 in the sugar bowl. This quote by UH QB Colt Brennan pretty much sums it up:

“It seemed like it was crazy,” Brennan said. “I don’t remember what I saw. I remember getting hit a lot.”

chillin’ on a saturday

Well, except for studying over my notes some, one more mental walkthrough and some prayer, my sermon prep is pretty much done. Just spending the day at the house chillin. It’s cold and rainy. Kids are playing with some of their new toys they got for Christmas and Kim is relaxing….life is good :)

Looking forward to some bowl games, some fireworks and hopefully watching the DAWGS laying the smackdown on Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl.

Back in Black..45-20

Wow, what a game in Athens. The whole stadium was in a “blackout”. Just a sea of black. My brother, Steve, and I along with a few other friends from Aiken were on the home side on the 45 yard line…..some of the best seats for one of the best games. There were rumors all week that the UGA players would wear black jerseys for the Auburn game. When the team captains came out in red, I turned to Steve and said, “Well, I guess we’re wearing red tonight.” A little disappointed, but hey, I’d be yelling my head off either way. The teams runs out of the locker room wearing…wait for it…..BLACK JERSEYS! Sanford Stadium went completely nuts, I’m talking off the charts loud. Auburn didn’t have a chance. 45 points later, we had defeated the war-eagle-tiger-plainsmen-barners. Weather was perfect, too. Was cool and clear.

42 – 30 DAWGS!!!!!

Dawgs win! Gators lost!

Tebo cried!

Gators wear jean shorts!

It’s a good night in the
Jones household!

HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS!

Vandy 17, Chickens 6….

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Oh yeah, Tutorsee lost, too. :)

Man, if the gators lost, it would be a trifecta!

dress a gator…

We have our annual matchup with the gators coming up next Saturday. In honor of that game, I thought it would be fun to dress a gator. I thought the most accurate portrayal would be of a gator in jean shorts, with the “wife-beater” T-Shirt and mullet. Orange is evil…GO DAWGS!
