Reclayhound's Sunday Morning Ramblings..........Enjoy............

[redclayhound]

Good morning to all you truly good yet deplorable Dawgs……Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week……...Enjoy your day……Take care…….

UGA SPORTS SPOTLIGHT:

I’m gonna mention a Dawg great in the UGA football spotlight section this morning, just to make sure at least something Dawg is mentioned today in this “DAWGChat” forum………Today’s DGD in the spotlight is former Dawg Tight End Pat Hodgson………..

Pat Hodgson was a star athlete at Atlanta’s Westminster, where he was recognized as a First Team All-State end and the Greater Atlanta Lineman of the Year as a senior in 1961.

At Georgia, Hodgson led the SEC in receiving as a sophomore in 1963 with 24 receptions during a season he wasn’t even considered a starter…………As a senior two years later, he had 26 catches, earning All-SEC honors for a second time……….His final career totals at UGA are 30 games, 54 receptions for 769 yards and 5 TD……..He averaged 14.2 yards per catch in his career…….

Hodgson was a favorite target of the great Larry Rakestraw……..Who can forget that night (UGA vs Miami) when Rakestraw established all those records…….Pat Hodgson was UA’s leading receiver that exciting game…….And Pat Hodgson was the middle man in that famous flea flicker play that helped beat Bama—he caught the 2 pt conversion pass too (Kirby Moore and the late great Bob Taylor were the other two stars of that flea flicker)…….Here is a short 40 second video showing three of Pat Hodgson’s famous plays at UGA)……



After a brief period in the NFL, Hodgson began a coaching career in college and the NFL lasting nearly 30 years……He’s retired now, living in Athens, doing volunteer and charity work, keeping in touch with old friends, and enjoying every bit of what so many retired UGA football letterman enjoy in Athens……

Pat Hodgson is a DGD………..

TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:

I spotted this comment, and I knew right then…………

“16 years ago today, Massachusetts becomes the first U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage”…….

Yeah, I‘ve already crowned this turkey once, but sometimes once is not enough……Expecially when we’re talking Barney Frank, the fat sloppy queer who screwed up the banking industry with his one size fits all approach…..Don’t you just know he had something to do with pushing the queer on queer legalization law through in his home state……..

I’m sorry folks (for a repeat crowning so soon), but I can’t stand the POS…….The small town banks he didn’t close the doors to, he made it extremely difficult for the survivors…….Double, Triple, Quadruple the Paperwork……Some stupid off the wall requirements too……..To hell with it, I don’t want to talk about it anymore……

It gives GREAT pleasure to anoint Mrs Barney Frank as @$$Hole of the Day……..Hellfire, twice crowning that @%&$# may not be enough……..



As always my good Dawg friends, I hope y’all have a Great Bulldawg Day…..Stay Safe…..help MAGA…….and God Bless…….

 

[NedRacineDawg]

Amazing the WHO removed homosexuality as a mental illness 30 years ago. What changed their mind?
And yes, Barney Frank was typical lowlife democrat POS! GATA, RCH!

Also Blonde had it goin on back in the day! Also Taylor Swift was hot when she was thin, then went crazy, got thick and spews democrat talking points. We need a vaccine for that!

 

[EufaulaDawg]

Great dawg history, great music, and overall gaining knowledge every day....you can get it all right here with rch.
Many thanks.
I still think the flea flicker play was one of the best.

Yes I was in the North Stands about 20 rows high on the 40 yard line for the flea flicker. Like a film to be preserved in my mind I can recall the play with vivid images. I asked Pat if his knee was down and he smiled and said well you saw the film. Old white guy 65 was a witness. Bama goes down and Dooley begins his rise to a great record at UGA! 65

 

[JudgeLarryDawg]

Well done, rch. Thank you. About Barney being a repeat recipient, like Clint said in The Unforgiven, "Deserves got nothin to do with it".

 

[Vandydog]

All of that plus getting to hear Dixie, what a pleasure! Barney Franks could be the biggest Ahole ever...

 

[redclayhound]

All of that plus getting to hear Dixie, what a pleasure! Barney Franks could be the biggest Ahole ever...

Ah, the ole "Fire Danz, Play Dixie" signs, posters, even airplane banners flying high........But Danz had political correctness on his side, and won the battle..........that's the same group that took a little longer, but also won the battle with the Ole Miss Rebels (they've still got work to do in Oxford)......I love Lewis Grizzard's take on this from many years back in time:

I wish I was politically correct in Dixie
by Lewis Grizzard

I certainly agree with all those who have protested the playing of "Dixie" at Southern football games.
Although slavery isn't mentioned in the song, it still makes people think of the
Old South, where every white person owned African Slaves.

"Dixie" is definitely a politically incorrect piece of music. Even the word is
offensive to some, and I apologize to those who are offended by my use of it.

But I'm proud to say my alma mater, the University of Georgia, years ago rid itself of any
connection with the song or there word you-know-what (see, I didn't use the word this time, as I despise offending people).

The Georgia band used to play the song at football games. But not anymore.
The only place they still play the song is at the University of Mississippi.
They also wave Confederate flags and they allow prayer before a football game.

I'm not certain how long it will be before members of the Speech Police move in
and shut down such reprehensible behavior, but it could be any day now.

Georgia not only stopped playing the song, it even changed the name of the
band, formerly knows at the Dixie Redcoat Band. It became simply the Redcoat Band.

That prompted my stepbrother, Ludlow Porch, the famous radio talk show personality, to
fire off a letter to the editor suggesting the following: "I applaud thedropping of 'Dixie'
from the name of the University of Georgia band, but let us not stop there.

"How can we allow the word 'red,' which stands for communism? And the word 'redcoat'
itself is an affront to the memory of all those Americans who fought against the redcoats of England in the Revolutionary War.

"And 'band.' Poncho Villa had a 'band' of desperadoes and we had to send
brave young soldiers into Mexico after him. So 'band' should go, too,
and that just leaves 'The,' which is a dumb name for a large number of
musicians, so I guess they're just out of a name altogether."

I believe if we really try we can wipe away all symbols of the Old South
forever. There's a company in Savannah that makes Dixie Crystal Sugar.
Sorry, it's just Crystal Sugar from now on, and don't give me any grief about it.

And there's even a Dixie Highway in the South. It should be referred to from now on only as
Highway. As in, "Well, you take Highway, then go down three blocks
and…" There are even some people named Dixie, believe it or not. They
will have to go by their middle names. And if anybody named Dixie lives
on Dixie Highway, the Speech Police will likely demand they be shot.

And if the song and word "Dixie" are symbolic of the Old South, I guess we
ought to stop using "Old South" as well. Instead of saying "Old South"
perhaps we can refer to it as "Back Then," and we can roll our eyes when
we use it so everybody will know we aren't talking about when dinosaurs
roamed the Earth, but when slaveholders used to go around singing songs
like "Dixie" and "Eating Goober Peas."

But wait. "Eating Goober Peas" is a song from Back Then, too, so don't anybody dare play that at a football game.

Rap songs about killing innocent people, incidentally, are just fine.

Ah, the ole "Fire Danz, Play Dixie" signs, posters, even airplane banners flying high........But Danz had political correctness on his side, and won the battle..........that's the same group that took a little longer, but also won the battle with the Ole Miss Rebels (they've still got work to do in Oxford)......I love Lewis Grizzard's take on this from many years back in time:

I wish I was politically correct in Dixie
by Lewis Grizzard

I certainly agree with all those who have protested the playing of "Dixie" at Southern football games.
Although slavery isn't mentioned in the song, it still makes people think of the
Old South, where every white person owned African Slaves.

"Dixie" is definitely a politically incorrect piece of music. Even the word is
offensive to some, and I apologize to those who are offended by my use of it.

But I'm proud to say my alma mater, the University of Georgia, years ago rid itself of any
connection with the song or there word you-know-what (see, I didn't use the word this time, as I despise offending people).

The Georgia band used to play the song at football games. But not anymore.
The only place they still play the song is at the University of Mississippi.
They also wave Confederate flags and they allow prayer before a football game.

I'm not certain how long it will be before members of the Speech Police move in
and shut down such reprehensible behavior, but it could be any day now.

Will always remember Lewis at Harrison's on Peachtree back in the day. He would cruise in with a cig and a smile with his glasses down on his nose and ask for his place at the bar with his bar stool. It had a label LEWIS and he would set up the bar near him for another round. His laugh was infectious... RIP Lewis you will live in Infamy.. 65

Yes I was in the North Stands about 20 rows high on the 40 yard line for the flea flicker. Like a film to be preserved in my mind I can recall the play with vivid images. I asked Pat if his knee was down and he smiled and said well you saw the film. Old white guy 65 was a witness. Bama goes down and Dooley begins his rise to a great record at UGA! 65

I was present for that game, too. My oldest sister was a cheerleader and got tix for mom, dad and me. That was my first time seeing the Dawgs live.

What a doozy. Definitely cemented my love for UGA football!

It gives GREAT pleasure to anoint Mrs Barney Frank as @$$Hole of the Day……..Hellfire, twice crowning that @%&$# may not be enough……..

Great read, rch, and a more than worthy @$$hole, but I was hoping for Donna Summer because she sang that god awful disco song during the wretched disco era. The stuff we had to tolerate to try to get next to some tail.

I was under the influence of PURPLE PASSION! It was OK to bring a cooler and beverages of choice.. 65
