let the smack talkin’ begin!

Was reading through some blogs last night and came across Perry’s latest post. You know football season is near when the smack talkin’ begins (see the end of his post). I love this time of the year. You see the high school teams starting up two-a-day practices and colleges starting the same. Were inching closer to just a month away from the start of football season!!! Woo HOO

So, being that I’m a die hard Georgia fan, I wanted to address the smack! Now, I’ll admit it….Clemson has a fairly easy path to not only a possible ACC championship, but also a shot at the National Championship. Their schedule sets up nicely for them and they return some serious talent, especially in the backfield. But do you really want to talk smack about UGA? I mean aren’t you suppose to win a conference championship before you can even “dream” about a National Championship (Clemson hasn’t won their conference since FSU joined in like 1990, UGA has played for 3 conference championships in the past six years and won 2 of them). Aren’t you suppose to be used to 10-win seasons before you look beyond to the post season at a National Championship (Clemson’s last ten win season….1990, UGA has had 5 10-win seasons out of the last six years)? Why no love for the UGA? Maybe he’s old enough (like me) to remember the good ole fashioned hate that existed between the two schools in the early eighties when UGA would play Clemson with the national title shot on the line. Maybe it’s because the last six meetings between UGA and Clemson have resulted in a UGA win, including a shut out of 30-0 win in Death Valley in 2003 (that was a fun day…was there…was incredibly hot but very fun).

I’m just sayin….

Let the smack begin!!!

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.

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!

Dress a Gator Here

a very bad day

The dawgs lost. I can deal with that. What I can’t deal with is how we didn’t even show up to play. Seriously, this is one of the worse losses of the Mark Richt era at UGA. Uninspired, no heart. Bleh.
