So I haven't updated since Thursday because of some personal/family issues. BUT...I should get a good new post up on Wednesday about my thoughts on the following:
- Richt on the HotSeat
- The loss to Arkansas and what I think it means
- How excited/nervous I am about Saturday night
- ADPi Recruitment at Brenau
- How I lost 20 pounds Saturday in Sanford
- UGA players on Twitter
- What to wear for UGA vs. UT
Peace out (hey, it's International Day of Peace, so it's appropriate)

Yum...I smell bacon!
I hope Justin Houston smells bacon on Saturday between the hedges...and goes after Ryan Mallett with everything he's got.
From what I've read, it's a toss up. People are saying "UGA lost to SC, and Arkansas is way better" but I don't think so. I think the Dawgs have some growing pains and obviously exposed our weakness against the Cocks, but Arkansas is completely different.
Arkansas doesn't run the ball, they throw it. Their main runner has some gross stomach issue...so he's out. Sure, we probably still won't have AJ Green, but that's his own fault. The team has to get over it. We have other people who can catch a dang football. Durham and Gray have looked good. I still wish Marlon Brown would have a coming out Saturday. And I love yelling "Woooooooot" from the stands when Wooten brings in a catch.
I think Murray has some confidence under his belt and it helps tremendously to be back between the hedges with what should be a good, and hopefully, LOUD home crowd.
I don't have too much else to provide, other than I feel more confident about this game than I did SC, so that's good.
Can't wait to be in red and black (or silver and black) Saturday in the end zone!!!
Go Dawgs :)

I'm baaaacccckkk...
Sorry Anna (my one reader) that I have neglected the blog for so long. Let's catch up on a few things.
1- My sunburn from the UL-L game is now healed just in time for a new one against Arkansas.
2- I've made my first presentation in my graduate class and I think I did pretty well considering my instructor was amazed that you can find videos on YouTube about Individualist vs. Collectivist countries.
3- Being an adviser for a sorority is life draining...but very rewarding. Whoever says that sororities just party all the time and don't do anything for real...I'd like to meet you and junk punch you (ex. What Happens in Vegas) because you don't know what you're talking about.
4- My little beagle Bella Bean really is hating her mama working/volunteering/going to school so much. She shows this by peeing on the floor all evening long for her dad. :)
And finally,
5- I really hope we win Saturday because it will make the taste of the BBQ my tailgate is arranging that much better.
That's all I've got for now. Hopefully I'll be back on Thursday with some actual football thoughts and then Friday with my first feature of "Fashion Fridays" with some do's and don'ts for game day.
Go Dawgs.

Christmas Eve
So tomorrow is the big day...and I'm too excited. I'm wearing my Red and Black at the office today, with a Southern Proper ( http://www.southernproper.com/ ) Bulldog headband for a little extra touch. I am on full speed ahead to get ready for tomorrow. Stopping by the grown-up drink store to find some special sweet tea for tomorrow, getting a pedicure, and making my final selection on which dress or skirt combo I'm going to wear. I have already talked with my dad about letting my kiddos out of their crates at some point...don't worry, my kids are two labs and a beagle. I'm also trying to decide which flavor jell-o I'm going to need to buy today...decisions, decisions.
Like the real Christmas Eve, I won't be able to sleep tonight. I will have been too jacked up on preparing for what is going to happen that I won't be able to get enough sleep...but that's fine. This is my favorite time of the year and any and all sacrifices will be made.
Tomorrow I will get to see old friends, party with new ones and just have a great time all around watching my boys of fall in action.
I'm excited about the food, the drinks, and the new game day videos.
I'll be back to post on Monday with my observations about the game, the boys, the tailgate and the fashion of it all. I've got to add some kind of girlie perspective to make this thing my own. So yes, hopefully I will have some great "do's and dont's pics" to share for next week.
Go Dawgs!

Intro...
So I've been debating creating a blog for all of my sports thoughts for quite some time. My debates went back and forth and made the decision that if I was still contemplating a blog by the time college football season started, that I would go with it.
And here we are...the first day of the season.
Just a warning, that I have no real knowledge of football or baseball or what have you. I'm a girl, so I couldn't play those sports in high school or college. BUT...I did play sports and I love sports and my entire family lives and breathes sports. First example, for a summer vacation my dad, mom, older brother and I spent two weeks traveling to the National Football Hall of Fame, the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Basketball Hall of Fame. Two weeks in a red, Chrysler minivan in the middle of summer. It was great.
I've also been to several baseball stadiums around the country with my dad and brother, including the Ballpark at Arlington where the Texas Rangers play, Coors Field where the Rockies play, the Astro Dome where the Astros once played, and Wrigley Field where the Cubs play...which was my favorite because Harry Carey was still alive and I got to sing along with him during the 7th inning stretch. And of course Fulton County Stadium and Turner Field, where my Atlanta Braves play. I remember having a crush on Dale Murphy, loving Steve Avery, and all the drama with David Justice. I remember watching my dad cry as Marquis Grissom caught the last out in the '95 World Series win, going to Rich's the next day and buying a family set of "official" shirts, then proudly wearing it to school in the 6th grade the next day. It was great.
I also have strong basketball roots. I started playing basketball when I began to walk. I played from 4 years old to high school when I stopped playing organized ball. My best game was in 8th grade when I scored 28 points with 12 rebounds. It was great.
My parents both went to seminary in Louisville, KY so we are all Cards fans. My parents had season tickets when the Cards won the title in 1980. I have met Denny Crum (the best basketball coach ever) and have his autograph on a U of L handkerchief.
But of all the sports my family has cheered for...we bleed Red and Black Georgia Football. That is what I will mainly be covering in this blog. I love everything about UGA football...from the tailgate, to Athens, to the pageantry of the sport...it's wonderful. I even married into a UGA family affair as my husband's grandmother was the first female to receive a football athletic scholarship from THE University. Her dad, my great-grandfather-in-law, was great friends with Coach Butts and my grandmother-in-law needed some money and became what would now be an athletic hostess/trainer/equipment person.
I have season tickets this year and can't wait to be at every home game.
More to come...but that's all for now!
