A Very Thankful BUI
With no apologies to Furman “bury me on the flats” Bisher, here’s my list of things BUI is thankful for.
I am thankful for my family’s acceptance of my fanaticism as an admirable trait in a Southern gentleman.
I am thankful to be a Georgia Bulldog, no matter the record of our flagship programs.
I am thankful for the advances in medical technology that give Chance Veazey hope for what tomorrow may bring.
I am thankful Baccari Rambo was not seriously injured on a game saving play that, however briefly, reminded us their might be some things more important than football.
I am thankful for the colors we wear, orange is just ugly and yellow is yellow.
I am thankful the NCAA allows to recruit and sign quarterbacks every year even if our coaches do not feel the need.
I am thankful for all of the Seniors, I know they have done their best.
I am thankful for the future all of these young pups will give us.
I am thankful for Damon Evans hiring Mark Fox.
I am thankful for AJ Green, the only thing more impressive than his commitment to Georgia has been his play for Georgia.
I am thankful for the Columbus and Macon newspapers for giving us all an option to the AJC. Bigger is not always better.
I am still thankful for Mark Richt and believe he will get things turned around in surprisingly quick fashion.
I am thankful for the potential of our young quarterbacks.
I am thankful we are not running scared from Jacksonville. Bulldogs never retreat (except on kickoffs)
I am thankful for Coach Perno, Coach Landers and the retired Suzanne Yucolan.
I am thankful for the abundance of Bulldog fan blogs, the ones written by fans that do not fancy themselves as analysts, and do not take themselves too seriously.
I am thankful to Daugman and Alan Ashely for blogging about basketball when no others are.
I am thankful for the former player that is not afraid to be critical.
I am thankful for the former player that toes the company line.
I am thankful that the majority of Americans don’t “take their ball and go home” when you disagree with them.
I am thankful to my parents for allowing me to attend the University of Georgia. At the time, I took it for granted, 20 years hence I truly understand how privileged I am.
I am thankful that my children, even though they have the grades to go most anywhere, have their hearts set on Athens.
I am thankful for being an American, even if many of our politicians are not.
I am thankful for being able to share my thoughts with the world, even if the world doesn’t care.
I am thankful to you for stopping by every now and then, I really appreciate it.

Four Long Weeks, One Will be Wicked
about 1 month ago - 3 comments
The Dawgs start hitting today. It will be four weeks before they get to hit a “bad guy.” Tempers will flare, fights will break out, bonding will occur. Good stuff to be sure. A lot has been made of the coaching staff’s decision to forego two-a-days. I don’t really have a strong opinion one way More >

Trey to Stay May Not Be the Way

Coach Mark Fox certainly changed the attitude of the Georgia Bulldogs basketball program in his first year. Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie were a big part of the turn-around. Both players are now considering their options regarding turning pro, or remaining in school. Tim Tucker has a great primer on the time line for under-classmen More >
Evans Choice Looking Better and Better

This time last year, the Georgia Bulldogs, led by Damon Evans, were searching for a basketball coach. Georgia was not alone, Alabama and their AD, Mal Moore, were also in the market for a new basketball coach. The two schools could not have been more different in their methodology towards the hire.

Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie combined for 44 points. Georgia’s guard play and lack of depth were cause for alarm. Guard play has been an issue More >
