I quit watching professional sports years ago and don't even watch NHL games. The only thing I'd continued to watch in recent years was college football and some international/college hockey. But college football is increasingly becoming the very thing I hate about most professional sports...

I grew up playing organized football and thoroughly enjoyed it. As many of you know, football in the South is a cultural thing, especially college football. Even if you've never played, it's a huge part of life growing up here. College football in the South comes perhaps as close as anything...

I don't know how anyone can take this guy (Fauci) seriously. He's like a weather vane, and his greatest talent seems to have been to preserve his place in Washington --- long past the date he should have gotten his gold retirement watch. Just the other day, I read where he said we could...

I'd always bashed GenX ever since college, when the term was first coined. As an older "X-er" (born after JFK but before Apollo 11), I never could relate to GenX as a whole. I couldn't relate to my classmates, didn't like most of the music or movies in the '80s, didn't share most of their...

The most discouraging thing about the photo is the designer face diaper. Designer diapers telegraph to the world: "I like this new 'normal'."

A series of 'what ifs'... Mike Kelley had another two years under Coach Curry, if I remember right. What if Tech ended up beating UGA in '78? (Which we should have...) What if Tech took that momentum and followed that with a really good season in '79? What if -- with Mike Kelley's obvious...

I've been away from news and sports for a number of months and only just learned of Coach Rodgers' passing today. Pepper Rodgers is the reason I became a Tech fan in the first place. He coached during my elementary school years. Growing up in Atlanta, I used to watch his post-game show on TV...

It's been that way with that fan base as long as I can remember. Anytime the game is over by the 3rd Qtr and they're behind, the fans start exiting. I think they live vicariously through the team more than they actually love them.

I hear ya' !! Just interesting to know what they think over on the Dark Side... A significant chunk of the base still thinks "Yes, it does matter!" Mostly for historic reasons, but also because we beat them occasionally and -- according to UGA fans in general -- "UGA should never lose to Tech."

Here is a podcast from Dean Legge of the "Dawg Post". I touched on some of his points in the thread "CPJ Interview - Nov 11" (pp. 23).

Just for the record, I'm not down on CGC at the moment. He faces some significant uphill challenges... many of the same kinds of challenges that faced CPJ. Last night I was listening to Dean Legge on the "Dawg Post". The title of the podcast was: "Does Tech Matter to UGA Anymore?"...

I was just about to post that A&M was doing the same thing this past Saturday, but you already did... I believe it cost them in that game, among other things like the non-calls by the officials. It blows my mind that even savvy and seasoned coaches like Jimbo Fisher would do that in those...

Do you think Swift will get much playing time? From what a couple vloggers have said, Swift is carrying the entire UGA offense on his back right now. Herrien is good, but Deandre Swift is at another level. I think it was Josh Pate who recently said on "The Late Kick" that the entire UGA team...

I don't "hate" UGA. Too many good friends of mine who are graduates of the school. And, in the end, it's just football. Not enough to "hate" over. However, what I do like is for UGA to lose in sports -- and especially in football... the same way I always liked seeing Boss Hogg or Roscoe P...

They seem to have thrown down the gauntlet. There's a spending arms race going on throughout college football, and UGA has long viewed itself as a premiere program that "deserves" a national championship. There's a lot of embarrassment within UGA circles that they haven't won since '80 -- not...

A lot depends on where you come from. I grew up just outside of Brookhaven, a few stones' throws from the Atlanta city limits. There were still horse farms everywhere, and when you went on a trip to Perimeter Mall, you went over a two-lane bridge across 285 past a farm with cows. Across the...

Even back in Dodd's day, we had less raw talent or size than some of the other SEC teams. But Dodd believed that having smarter players was an equalizer when you didn't have the size advantage. And like Bryant, he believed that you could coach an average player up and turn him into a great...

I don't know if I'd agree... NFL players have hit the big time. One poster earlier mentioned that it's a rare privilege to play in the NFL, and with the base salary being somewhere around a half million or so, that's a big part of it. In society's eyes, you're already a winner just by making...

As you pointed out, the main reason we don't see the draft in football for kids directly out of high school is beacause of injury risk. At 18-20 years old, a kid is in top cardiovascular shape but cannot compete pound for pound with a "full-grown" man. Providing your joints stay healthy, a man...
