Bye Week Bonanza
Han Vance on Georgia football: While I would surely love to crank out another say six BLAWGS for y’all in five days like I did last week coming off the worst upset loss since at least 1994, I simply can’t…
Enterring Homecoming
Han Vance on Georgia football: Even a close win would be seen as a major red flag for (5-1, #10) Georgia Saturday at 6:00 p.m., as the Dawgs host the 3-3 Kentucky Wildcats. Now spelled “entering” but of course we…
Dead Even (Tougher Stretches Out There)
Han Vance on Georgia football: This should be easy enough up there. Although Georgia and Tennessee have split the last four meetings and have the exact same number of SEC titles (13), and are tied with a 50/50 record in…
Deeper Inside the Big Game
Han Vance on Georgia football: It’s time…almost. Last week it was a 2019 BMW with a hard plastic dummy in back named “dude” and a high-speed driver who owes me on some consulting invoices and calls himself “Dug.” This week,…
Advantage/Disadvantage
Han Vance on Georgia football: CANINES battling CATHOLICS in Classic City. Let’s play less obvious advantage/disadvantage for this top 10 tilt, as Georgia finally faces a team of any note a full month into the American college football season. The…
Podcast: Southern Sports Roundup

BOWL SHOW (hosted by Han Vance)
Raw TV simulcast footage of us recording my 4th-annual bowl show (sports talk radio):
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…
UGA Dawgs Country
My city divided in fractions with factions of fans, but the state is solidly ours. GEORGIA Football is still the most popular sporting enterprise in the largest state east of the Mississippi River. The Atlanta Braves, a Southern regional favorite…
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…
Offensive Mind
This is not nearly as hard as we are making it, y’all. When you have a running quarterback, you run him. When you have a tight end with the best hands on the team, you throw him the football quickly…
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…
Richt’s Folly Could Still Net Crown
Mark Richt fell to 3-3 versus the University of Alabama Saturday amidst torrentially soggy conditions in the Classic City of Athens, Georgia. 4-1 Bama surged to #10/#8 in the (meaningless post-BCS) polls with UGA tumbling to #19/#16 after a humiliating…
Publications & Radio
Feature length article on UGA frosh sensations I wrote this week for BULLDAWG ILLUSTRATED: http://bulldawgillustrated.com/2014/1/13/young-pups-brigade-georgia/ In the coming week, we are recording the 2nd episode of SOUTHERN SPORTS ROUNDUP. I will post a link to watch the simulcast of the…
Okefenokee Oar at Stake
Jacksonville, FL: Inside the numbers. 24-20, 17-9, 23-20, 3 straight. We are favored by 11. Is it 10 more wins or 9 more wins? Depends on your perspective, but I could give the Gators the nod there in a predecessor…
Being Todd Gurley: #GurleyForHeisman
The recruiting coup combination of running back threats achieved with the signing of Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley continues to yield great dividends for the University of Georgia. Marshall, the #2 overall recruit out of all US high schools when…
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…
Special Teams Have Strong Special Teams
“Special Teams Have Strong Special Teams” Joystick era underway at UGA. 14 years post-Donnan season underway, and my little BHB itself has a 2007 origin way in the rearview. 7 years. 14 years. TOUCHDOWNS, baby! Make more touchdowns than your…
What a Difference
What a difference a play makes. Ask Justin Scott-Wesley or Murray for Heisman. Had that been a pick instead of a touchdown pass Murray would not be over the hump as a player, UGA would be .500, Richt would be…
The Xs And The Os, The Ws And The L
Then they stepped forward on a separation Saturday, the defending SEC West and SEC East champions many feel are on another collision course. BAMA — GEORGIA — one has won three-of-four national championships, while netting two non-consecutive conference crowns —…
