That's awesome...

Surprised and pleased that the UGa-heavy legislature did not filibuster the resolution.

 

[AE 87]

It's nice that they could bring their wives

RW.com has video of the both house and senate today. Nice dig at UGA in the House.

CPJ looks like he'd rather be 100 other places.

Old guy back left in photo is Jack Hill, state senator from Reidsville and chairman of Senate Appropriations Committee. Great guy, too. Back right is Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, a Georgia Southern grad. Don't know right off who the three lawmakers on PJ's right are.

Great that former Tech player Ronnie Mabra was the lead sponsor on the House resolution for Joe Ham.

Good for them. And you know if it came out of the legislature they mean it.

Can we start referring to little Joe as Joey Legend yet?

I am too lazy to do the research but suspect someone already knows the answer. What Georgia districts (geographical areas in the state) were represented by the sponsoring legislators?

I appreciate Coach Johnson's professionalism at these events.... He invariably begins his comments with "It's an honor to be here representing Georgia Tech, the players, assistant coaches, and staff" etc.. he never accepts these individual accolades for himself alone.. thank you for that Coach, recognized and appreciated!

Love the remark during the House resolution. "We work hard in this room to run the goverment of this state. When it comes to running other aspects of the state, we'll leave that up to you."

Jack Hill is the 4th Senate District. That's Tattnall, Bulloch, Evans, Effingham, Emanuel, Candler, I think. That's big Bulldog and Georgia Southern country. Tech's generally a distant third in allegiances in those parts.

Tattnall...isn't that where Smelter came from?

He is from Tattnall Square Academy in Macon GA, not Tattnall County GA which is Reidsville GA area. Too many redundant county, city and school names!!!

Thanks!
Largest rattlesnake I ever saw was in Effingham County. My children to this day refer to it as "the great Effingham County snake disaster."

One hopes your view of the rattler was in the rear view mirror.
