Back in The Classic City... for good

STUDIO 48 -- I am back in The Classic City... for good. My time in Gaines-Vegas has been good. I feel very rested and ready to do well in another semester. The fact that there will be no football to break up the juggernaut of a lengthy semester is concerning, but I will somehow forge on. Basketball and later baseball will somehow have to take the place of football. Today was not the best start to that as the men’s team forgot to defend against the three as the gay-tors came to Stegeman and beat my Dawgs by 18 points. I still stand by my earlier declaration that Georgia will surprise some people this year by sheer hustle and will. Needless-to-say... an 18 point loss at home hurts, especially to the hated gay-tors. Tomorrow is a new day and a new opportunity. The women’s team will battle the same gay-tors and I’ll be there and as obnoxious as ever. We’ve got to beat that trashy school at something and I’m counting on my Lady-Dawgs to do what they usually do... Win when we need it most. We got our hockey jerseys today and I definitely approve of the new basketball band look.

I made a rare decision to go out with a girl based solely on her looks and as one might expect... it backfired big-time. God has slapped me in the face with this lesson many times before and just when it appeared that I had taken it to heart, I do something like this. It was very stupid, desperate and pathetic, but I did not think about the consequences. It was shallow. She was popular (and pretty) in high school and had no time for a band geek like myself. After running in to her in the grocery store I acted on a rare piece on spontaneity and asked her out. Big mistake! As pretty as she (still) was on the outside, she couldn’t carry on a conversation or get my since of humor. I promise to both of you (my loyal readers) that I will never act on a shallow urge such as that ever again. I want to end up with an attractive girl, but I absolutely can’t spend any quantity of time with a girl that is not smart enough to (at least) keep up with me in a conversation. Now I’ve got to find that girl that is smart, morally strong with a strong faith and yes... I’ll say it: I hope that she will be attractive.

In other news...
After my interesting date-escapades from over the winter holiday, I have, for the first time in a LONG TIME, no females on the horizon. It is kinda weird and at the same time, really nice. I know that it won’t last, but for right now, it is just what I need. God bless my broken road.....
I am now completely over the letdown of the Sugar Bowl. It was ruff, but we will live to fight another day and our recruiting class tells me that the Dawgs are going to be playing in many BCS bowls over the next few years. I still have my concerns about our defensive coaching staff. I really think that they botched up our bowl preparation and did not make the necessary adjustments in-game to help the boys overcome the early deficit. I know that Coach Richt is very loyal to his staff, but I think that Coach Willie is in over his head and way out of his league. There, now that I have published those comments on the internet, you can all shove them back in my face when our defense is ranked in the top ten nationally next season. I hope that you do. It is only 236 days until the kickoff of the 2006 College Football season and I’m already mentally prepared to get it started. I will use the next 235 days to get my body back to full strength and health so that I can be at my best when next I march betwixt the hedges. I’m a tool!......
I’m ready for China ’06!.......

In other sporting news...
Marcus Vick is an idiot and I hope that no NFL team is stupid enough to give him a shot. The fool stepped on the knee of a defender from Louisville with his cleat after a play in last weeks bowl game. The tally sheet shows 1 rape, 1 statutory rape, 1 count underage possession, 1 DUI, 3 counts of unsportsmanlike conduct run amuck, and the contributing to the delinquency of a minor. What an idiot!......
The Yankees are the biggest bunch or cheating hookers that there has ever been in professional sports. If they don’t win it all this year with the group of All-Stars that papa George has assembled, then they should clean house from the top on down and start over from scratch......
I wish that Vince Young had a better throwing release so that there would be no reason for him the be any lower than #1 in the upcoming NFL draft (editor’s note; assuming that he doesn’t go back to Texas for his senior year.. yeah right!). Reggie Bush showed his backside in the Rose Bowl and should be punished by being dropped to (God forbid!) #2 in the draft......
Georgia has another player in trouble in the off season and the off season is only four days old! I wish that Coach Richt would just make an example of this one and kick him to the curb!......
For the first time in 3+ seasons the West Hall boy’s basketball team is leading the jam-packed region. Go Spartans!......
The Colts should win it all!.......

More later.......
