I remember that there had been a rumor going around for weeks that Saban would retire after winning one more championship.

Oops! Now I’m getting touchy. 😊

Tech was recognized nationally and it had nothing to do with the SEC. Tech was considered the southern version of Notre Dame. Tech was the first team in the nation to win the Cotton, Sugar, Rose, Orange, and Gator Bowls.

Bitter irony. Save some of this for the future. The ACC doesn’t appear to be through being a champion and advocate for Tech.

This is painfully true. Perhaps it will never be the case again but once upon a time GT was considered the home town team of Atlanta as well as representing the pride of the south. The key was that back then the Atlanta newspapers were in Tech’s back pocket, kind of like ESPN and the SEC today.

OK, that’s fair enough. However, if you look at Mayo Clinic sites, as well as other reputable sites, you will see that driving under the influence is a red flag for alcoholism. And Bennett is a known alcoholic. But I’m OK disagreeing about this and no offense is taken.

Probably. In the dream though it’s never clear if I’m using the correct facility since men and women are passing by and it’s not even clear if this is an actual bathroom or not. No one else is using a restroom but I sense they know the rules I don’t know. Same feeling as wondering where my...

I’m not sure which piece of knowledge it is you are missing. That uga has had multiple cases of DUI and that Stetson Bennett’s reported problems at uga were not dealt with? Or that the coach for this program is Kirby Smart? What are you missing?

So we get a bye before Duke, Miami, and NC State, and a couple extra days before uga. That actually doesn’t sound that bad. It should make us competitive.

You thought I was throwing stones at Kirby, huh? Sorry, any coach that has a consistent history of ignoring alcoholism among his players and staff does not get my respect. Every program can have a problem player but not every school has a problem program. The head coach is responsible for the...

I have a version of this dream where I also desperately have to go to this bathroom but the bathrooms are ambiguously defined, like urinals in the middle of busy hallways, or weird architecture that allows anyone to watch you urinate. This adds to my anxiety in the dream. 🤪

Let’s review, for the sake of this conversation, why the SEC is a pivotal example of what the factors might be in creating a stronger ACC. 1. First, get the PR campaign up to full speed. Leave this step out and nothing else matters. The SEC made this decision decades ago when they were the...

I love how your corrections of other people are so gentle and non-confrontational 🤣

Rabbit Run series was also on my mind. Someone could do an independent film about a character like Bennett that would fit the portrait we’ve described.

Very sad! All those people worshipping him and pumping him up since high school and no one getting past that adulation and reflected glory long enough to give him a reality check and get him some help. It appears that with all his “second chances” it only served to get uga a natty but got him...

Speaking of mutts, I was in Blackshear visiting friends over the weekend and noticed that uga’s former national championship QB had moved back home. I know no details. But found it sad, like a southern gothic novel, that a QB destined for the NFL and the big city lights was back in a small...

Interesting read as to how the SEC rose to prominence. The article suggests it was a combination of luck and timing. Several good points are made to back that up. A couple of things are left out, in my opinion. First, even though the B1G has won more championships than the SEC, the gap...

Yes. I like good BBQ. Period. The hardest decision for me would be to be in a restaurant that does ALL BBQ well -pulled pork, brisket, ribs, chicken, beef ribs etc. But I’ve never had to face that because most places that serve good BBQ only know how to do one kind well.
