On Paper
Han Vance on Georgia football: The preseason college football magazines are out, and the scribes are liking the University of Georgia Bulldogs, just not as much as Clemson/Bama. As I noted in my article “Power in the Piedmont”, each of…
Rivalry Out of Options
The Institute ran out of options. A classic American rivalry, all but dead. Georgia men’s basketball team won at the North Avenue Trade School in basketball 70-59 in front of a mostly-tepid crowd, while I was in attendance in my…

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…
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. An opening score by 1,000-yard rusher Sony Michel outdistanced the Jackets, who were held scoreless into the…
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…
Next Year’s Clemson?
My Tech buddy Bubba, who guest appeared on my radio show two seasons ago with Wayne Gandy (a former Auburn all-American who had an undefeated senior season) and me, was texting yesterday talking about how bad Tech and Georgia were….
Big Moment
Big moment for our program as the World’s Largest Cocktail Party looks to be called GEORGIA-FLORIDA instead of “Florida-Georgia” for the next full year. I propose the winner get first name in the series and the losing fans HAVE to…

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…
October Off to a Bang
GEORGIA…Bama. This is big time, y’all. Alabama doesn’t want to be forced to realize the dynasty is over. We are poised for a breakthrough. Alabama had (only) one undefeated SEC + National Champion team during their historic four-year run. They…
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…
Deep Inside the SEC
Ah, SEC season. GEORGIA visits the festive Music City Saturday (3:30 CBS) to face a reeling Vandy squad coming off a bad year and a close loss at the hands of powerhouse W. Kentucky. It’s that bad in Nashville post-era…
