Game Day: Cake Walk
Today, at long last, marks the beginning of the college football season in the U.S.* It also marks the day that this site makes the temporary transition from well reasoned and researched posts on parenting, music, politics and science to rabidly partisan support of the Number One college football team in the nation, the South’s Best University and my alma mater - the University of Georgia Bulldogs.
Georgia opens their season with the slightly less than whelming Georgia Southern Eagles. There’s not much analysis to be done for this game. The Eagles are a Div. I-AA team (or whatever that league is called now), have eight players suspended and are starting 37 or so freshman. It’s likely to be pretty much a cake walk for the Number 1 Georgia Bulldogs. Lest you think I’m being all cocky and jinx inducing - after all look what Appy State did to Michigan last year - Georgia Southern is no Appalachian State and Georgia is no Michigan. This one’s done. It will be a chance for Coach Mark Richt to see what he’s got and for the team to warm up for a championship run.
Kick off is 2 a.m. Sunday (Adelaide time), which means that I may sleep this one out and so, god willing, will Zach. Night games are going to work best for us this year, so let’s see what we can do about that, schedule folks.
But we’ll be with you in spirit. Go Dawgs!

* Yes, I know that there were some games on Thursday, but those don’t count. Thursday night is for Junior High School football. Kind of like the Gamecocks.

We’ve been trying all day to find someone at the cable company competent enough to tell us if we can get the game on pay-per-view. It’s amazing how little those people actually know about their job. Grr.

Nice game face on the boy, he looks ruthless.
And loved the expose on sweetners, thanks for some factual information. Now I want you to debunk intelligent design so I can have a retort prepared for our wierdo churchy neighbors, please?
