Ouch!!

I was definitely wrong.  UGA was spanked on the behind by Oklahoma State.  The defense looked a ton better than last year, but the O led by Joe C. sputtered.  Next week Caleb King will be back, but if Joe Cox continues to keep the offense dialed way down then there might be some calls for Logan Gray or Aaron Murray.  I do know that AJ Green needs more than 4 touches for the Dawgs to be successful.  Also, Richt and Bobo are going to have to find a way to get Marlon Brown and Rantavious Wooten on the field.  We’ll just have to see how it plays out against the Gamecocks.

USM looked great against Alcorn State this weekend.  The offense was firing on all cylinders and the defense really really looks much improved.  If we can put up points and blow the doors off UCF I really think it will be a sign the USM could have a very very good season.  Only time will tell. 

We watched the movie The Strangers this weekend.  Don’t watch it.  It’s scary, gruesome and pointless.  I’d rather play fantasy football with a Star Wars reinactor than watch that movie again.

Its better than a sweater and some socks

No today isn’t Christmas Eve, but it might as well be.  September 4, 2009 is College Football Kickoff Eve.  I know there were a few games yesterday but they were pretty crappy.  The South Carolina/NC State game was garbage.  They combined for about -1,000 yards.  I think a 4th grade girls flag football team could put up more offense than that.  I haven’t seen that kind of ineptitude since this. 

And how about the Oregon/Boise State game late night?  I was already out cold, but when I saw Sportscenter this morning some dude from Oregon jacked a Boise player in the jaw.  I’m in no way condoning unprovoked violence, but it is a tad bit funny.  The Boise player obviously says something trashy and slaps the Oregon player on the pads and all of a sudden its lights out on the blue turf.  Wow.  Someone sign that guy up to fight one of the Klitchko’s. 

Tomorrow will be the day.  UGA travels to Stillwater to take on a very highly ranked OSU team.  To me they are sounding a lot like UGA last year.  Very highly ranked.  Several arrests before game week.  Several Injuries to starters the week before kickoff.  Starters leaving the team the week before the game.  OSU seems pretty wound up if you ask me.  Mike Gundy wouldn’t even let his team do the handshake thing before the game because he’s afraid a brawl will ensue.  By the way, for anyone keeping score I believe he’s probably about 42 by now.  I just think UGA goes in the Oklahoma where the wind sweeps down upon the plain and jets back to Athens with a win.  There just seems to be a lot of distractions surrounding OSU right now. 

I will be attending the Southern Miss and Alcorn State game tomorrow evening.  I’m looking forward to a severe butt whipping by the Golden Eagles, but also the Alcorn Band.  Although I personally believe that marching bands are a waste of 20 good minutes in the middle of the football game, ASU’s band will bring some excitement to The Rock.  On a side note, if you ever hear someone say “I personally believe” about something, how can your mind not go to this……

 

Wow how funny would it be to see the Rebs fall on their face in Memphis Sunday?  I’m not gonna hold my breath, but I can definitely see Ole Miss with 3+ losses by the end of the year.  Does their slide from preseason #8 start Sunday in Memphis?  We’ll have to tune in to see.

Hope everyone has a great safe holiday weekend.  Good Day.

The most interesting Receiver in the world…..Numero Ocho

Sorry Alabummer fans, but your boy Jooolio is definitely not the best pass catcher in the SEC (Although he might be the best free fishing trip collector in the sec).  UGA sophomore receiver AJ Green is nothing short of magical.  Last year he had some very impressive stats that I think will only improve this year.  In honor of it being less than two days from kickoff, check out this catch from his senior year of high school.

Give a little bit…..give a little bit

Whats up all you wild and wacky people who check this waste of space every now and then?  Today we are gonna talk a little bit about giving.  As we all know, we are commanded in the Bible to give 10% of our income.  Maybe another blog for another day will be the fact that when it all gets down to it, it’s not 10% God’s and 90% mine, but it’s 100% God’s.  Also, I’m not gonna get into a debate of gross or net income or only giving to your church vs giving to other ministries, that is between you and the big man. 

Our pastor recently gave a stat that most church members tithe less than a Big Mac per week.  That was a little shocking, but more sad than shocking.  What are we doing people?  We have so much and we give so little.  What is a real way we can give to people who need it? 

So today, in honor of giving back so little to people who need it I’m gonna be promoting Compassion International.  This is a really awesome organization that really gives a lot of kids who have no hope a chance to actually have some hope for a future.  The cost to us is very minimal only $38 a month but they take our $38 and use it very wisely.  Schools, water, food, Bible study are just some of the ways our money is used.  The organization has some very intense auditing practices and very little goes to overhead.  You are not limited to $38 you can also add a monthly amount to help out with thier AIDS prevention/education in Highly infected HIV areas.  If you have a chance check it out. 

One thing that got us, was that when you see Sally Struthers on TV talking about hunger, all of the images are of children starving and malnourished.  Basically images just to guilt people into giving money.  The video we received from Compassion doesn’t sugar coat anything, but it does show that even in the midst of their terrible circumstances, the children still smile, play games and be kids. 

Once you are on the website you can pick children from many different countries to adopt.  We chose a little girl from Tanzania because she shares a name with my mom.  If you are looking for a way to change someone’s life, take a few minutes and explore……..www.compassion.com

Have an awesome day!

Signs Guys Should Re-Evaluate Their Lives

Sorry for long time no posts.  It’s kind of like working out, if you miss a day it is over.  To catch everyone up, USM did make it to the College World Series.  It was a great time for our University!!  Football kicks off in about a month so everyone is buzzing about that.  I decided to make todays post more of the self help variety and give all guys a few signs they should re-evaluate their life.

If you are……………….

1.  Jersey Wearer Guy – Listen up guys.  There is only one way that anyone over the age of 12 should wear a jersey.  Jerseys are only to be worn if you are on a field or court playing a sport.  If you are simply attending a game, leave the jersey at home.  There is almost nothing more disturbing than a grown man wearing a jersey to an event.  Women, Children feel free to sport your favorite Jersey.

2.  Comb Over Guy – Guys, Guys Guys.  Just this little bit of advice.  If suddenly you wake up and there is more hair on the bottom of the shower than on your head, just shave the rest of it.  Keep it neat and tight.  It’s simple.  Don’t try to hang on to your pitiful strings of cabbage, just let go.  It looks so much better and I’m sure it has to feel a lot better.

3. Drunk Guy at Game – There is nothing more annoying than dropping serious money to score some sweet tickets for your favorite event only to show up sitting next to a dude totally shredded before the game even starts.  No drunk dude, we don’t want to hear how bad our team sucks and how you would have made better decisions than the coach.  Also, its not cool or funny to constantly start the wave, follow around the entire stadium with your finger to figure out when the wave would be back at your spot if everyone was doing it with you. 

4.  Old Guy Bragging About Attendance Records – Listen guys, there is nothing awesome or great about bragging that you’ve never missed a sporting event for such and such school.  If this is you, then simply step back and evaluate your priorities in life.  If you haven’t missed a sporting event since 1953 then I would definitely assume your wife/children/friends(if you have any left) have been left out to dry.  Maybe your wife should dress up like Mean Joe Green to get your attention but what do I know.

5.  LSU fan – Neaux it’s not cool to spell everything with an -eaux.  You can not have a sound argument with an LSU fan without punches being thrown.  I will say this, those cajuns sure can cook some good vittles before and after the games.  Please don’t come to my house and throw crab boil in my eyes for this, but everyone outside of LSU hates LSU.

6.  Ole Miss Fan – This short blog is not enough time to dicuss Ole Miss fan.  ITS A FOOTBALL GAME, not a freaking prom.  Dresses that cost more that some small houses are not appropriate at Football games.  There is one SEC school that has never been to an SEC Championship game or never been to a College World Series.  Thats the only argument needed.  Ole Miss, where dreams go to die.

7.  Guy Who’s Phone Keeps Ringing at Wedding/Funeral – Listen bro, you aren’t Donald Trump, Warren Buffet or Bill Gates.  Put your phone on silent.  Come closer and listen very closely…..YOU AREN’T THAT IMPORTANT.  You can wait an hour to get back on the phone making your “huge” deals. 

8.  Work Out Guy Who Lives For Working Out – Trust me, we all could stand to be a little more healthy and exercise a bit more.  However, instead of being impressed about your story of benchpressing 1,000 lbs. it really makes me want to hurl.  Not impressive.  Sorry.  I know you love flexing in the mirror and kissing your own biceps, but most people  can handle not looking like Chyna from the WWF(I know it has a new name now, but it will always be WWF to me).

9.  Guy with Naked Lady Tatoos – I kid you not.  Last season at a  Braves game, we sat directly behind a gentleman wearing a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off (as if there is other kind).  The gentleman had a tatoo of a barechested woman.  This to me this is nothing different than walking around with clothes made from some pornographic magazine.  There is a level of  of taste that is simply missing from this person.  If you choose to do this, then please at least cover it up!! 

10.  Jean Shorts Wearer Guy – This is pretty simple.  If you are a guy there is only one acceptable form of jeans and thats jeans.  I don’t care if they are regular shorts, long shorts, cargo shorts or cutoff shorts the acceptable material is not jeans.  Just stay away.  Also, chances are if you are wearing jeans shorts, you are probably a Florida Gator fan and also probably have a sweet mullet, so you might want to take care of those things too. 

I hope this helps everyone.  We will return very soon with another wonderful post.
