In four years, Ga./Fla. game most memorable

It was well worth the wait. Among all the great games Georgia sports’ teams have played since 2000 — my first year as a Bulldog — the football team’s 31-24 win over rival Florida last October ranks as the icing on my proverbial sports cake. The Bulldog football team won 50 football games since the [...]

In the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., the ghosts of Ted Williams and Babe Ruth haunt the halls of baseball heaven. And Mark McGwire’s ghost will never join them.

Steroids stealing the magic

The grass has been cut, the wood bats have been brought out of storage and the smell of baseball is resonating in Florida and Arizona.

Poor shooting dooms Bulldogs

The first half of the game has not been kind to the Georgia men’s basketball team during the its past two losses. In Georgia’s 76-55 loss to Kentucky on Saturday, the Bulldogs hit just eight of the team’s 22 shots in the first half — just under 37 percent from the field. Combine that with [...]

Lady dogs may rival men’s team

Many of Georgia’s athletic teams have intrasquad games before their regular season starts. The Red versus the Black in football’s famous G-Day game. The Dogs versus the Pups in baseball. However, I think there is one sport where there needs to be a different kind of intrasquad game: men’s basketball against women’s basketball. You may [...]

BCS still creates more controversy despite offseason changes to formula

Many Auburn fans are still wondering why they are not planning a New Year’s Day trip to the sandy beaches of Miami. After finishing the season 12-0, Auburn was left out of the mix, finishing behind No. 1 USC and No. 2 Oklahoma, both also undefeated this season. “There’s no perfect way to do this,” [...]
