No! Double-overtime vs. Tech is unequaled

On a cold January night in 2004, the chant of “Nerd! Nerd! Nerd!” could be heard from Stegeman Coliseum all the way to the outskirts of Athens. That fateful night — Jan. 3 to be exact — a group of under-sized, under-talented and overmatched Bulldogs beat a Georgia Tech basketball team that was one of [...]

Team didn’t avoid ‘roids

I must not have been paying attention Saturday, as pick after pick scrolled across the bottom of ESPN’s 2005 Draft Day coverage. Maybe I was still reeling after two of our Bulldogs got drafted so early. Or perhaps I was dreaming of one day being picked first as a top water boy by the Atlanta [...]

Rain can’t delay women’s golf’s weekend win

The inclimate weather of Sunday waited just long enough for the Georgia women’s golf team to complete its sweep of the 33rd annual Liz Murphy Collegiate Classic. LIZ MURPHY CLASSIC 1. Georgia – 892 2. LSU – 905 T3. Auburn – 908 T3. Tulane – 908 5. Tennessee – 909 6. Wake Forest – 910 [...]

Women’s sports impress

They’re taking over! The once male-dominated landscape of sports at the University is being invaded by females of all sizes and talents. Our sacred brotherhood of athletes and fans is being forced to make room for women who were once mere decorations on the sideline. The face of University sports has changed — and with [...]

Bulldogs surpass expectations with two SEC wins, no drama

One thing this college basketball season has taught me is the success of a team is entirely relative. With the regular season winding down, the conference tournaments getting under way and the NCAA tournament brackets quickly getting assembled, looking back and measuring any team’s season seems appropriate. Some teams will end up with a winning [...]

Bonds to top Babe Ruth

While it may not look like it now, all the steroid- debating, Bonds-ranting, Steinbrenner-complaining and Red Sox-trash-talking will give way and some baseball will actually be played. Players are already reporting to their respective camps in warmer temperatures and spring training is about to be under way. What better time for a wannabe sports know-it-all [...]

Defense coach to stick with Georgia

After accepting a similar position with the University of Oklahoma on Feb. 20, Georgia defensive ends coach Jon Fabris decided to stay with the Bulldogs less than a week later. Head coach Mark Richt announced Fabris’ decision on Friday. JON FABRIS Defensive Ends Coach – Coached former Bulldog David Pollack to the SEC Player of [...]

Baseball hasn’t lost luster

Do you smell that? It’s the smell of dusty leather gloves, wads of Big League Chew and the best hot dogs and pretzels you’ll ever taste. Do you hear that? It’s the crack of a bat connecting at the sweet spot, the zip of a fastball right down the pipe and a near silent crowd [...]

Football defensive ends coach leaves for position at Oklahoma

The coaching carousel continues to spin in the Butts-Mehre Building as head coach Mark Richt and his football team have lost another coach. Defensive ends coach Jon Fabris informed Richt Monday that he has accepted a similar position at the University of Oklahoma. COACHING CHANGES – Jan. 1 – Season ends with a 24-21 win [...]

Limiting number of teams could fix NHL

The NHL All-Star weekend was this past Saturday and Sunday. Did you catch it? Of course you didn’t. That’s because the NHL is currently in the middle of a lockout with the possibility of any season this year, no matter how small, on very thin ice (Nice pun, I know). What if the players weren’t [...]
