Georgia playing Miss St always has a special place

in my heart.

I didn't grow up a Georgia fan. Moved to Georgia from Long Island, NY when I was 9. We didn't follow college football much (although I remember when I was 4, my dad talking about Herschel, but I digress). I was a Jets fan, sadly.

I sort of slowly began following college football over the years, and hopped on the Tech bandwagon during their shared NC year.

I started at UGA in '94, but of course the '94 season sucked. Then, in '95, I began to try to get more into it, but Edwards and Bobo got hurt, so I found it hard to truly invest (again, I didn't grow up a fan).

In '97, I committed to enjoying the game day atmosphere and the team, and when we annihilated Miss St 47-0, I was hooked. Of course we lost to UTjr next, but it didn't matter. I have truly bled red and black ever since.

Anyway, this is a long, boring way to say that playing MSU always reminds me of the time I became a Bulldog through and through.

Interesting Convo with an AU Alum

I hate AU as much as anyone, but living in Columbus, I do come in contact with a lot of AU grads/fans and they aren't all bad. That said, was talking with an exec in my company who is an AU grad. I asked him his opinion of Hugh Freeze. He said he didn't like his character and would have preferred someone who was high in character. However, he said the role of a football coach was to win games. So if he wins games, then he could overlook his character. However, if he doesn't win games, then there's no reason for him to be there.

I thought that was an interesting rationalization for having a sleezebag be the face of your team. But the main thing that I took away from that is how lucky we are. We have both. We have a high character man who also wins. In spite of the issues caused by some of our players, there's no way Kirby is condoning or excusing that behavior. I'm sure he's doing everything he can think of to remedy those issues. And, he's still putting a team on the field that will compete for a national championship.

We are lucky. As a program, we aren't perfect, but what program is? But we are lucky and need to appreciate what we have. It won't be here forever.

Y'all enjoy the Vent tonight. I'm out

It’s been tough being a Vent poster these past few months. And ironically enough, it has nothing to do with most of the posters on the board. We have had a lot of great people on the Vent, but it’s time for the moderators at the administrative level to do something about the trolls

Time after time I have made excuses for Radi and co. but at some point it’s exhausting. I don’t believe I’ll be lurking/posting the rest of the year. Hope the team does well

Thankful for Kirby Paul Smart this Thursday night

He saved us and took us to levels I never thought I’d see in my lifetime (33).

We are really and truly a sadistic and miserable fanbase at our core and impossible to make happy. (Yeah I know I love to troll).

Life would be a lot different and a lot worse without CKS around.

Here’s to 10 more years and 10 more titles
