The Strangest Representative

By on February 1, 2011

If you ever need a cure for insomnia, spend some time reading proposed legislation for the Georgia General Assembly. Our illustrious representatives propose probably thousands of bills and resolutions each session. Most never get past a first reading in the House or Senate, but maybe half or one-fourth of the legislation does pass the assembly, [...]

Cabs not the only way to get home

By on February 1, 2011

Cabs are here!!! Well, not for me. Even though it takes me 10 minutes to travel downtown (traffic willing), a cab ride there is $10 without the tip. That’s more than my bar tab for the evening … without the tip. The obvious solution would be to not drink — um, no. The have-your-cake-and-eat-it-to so choice [...]

JAY CLARK

Jay Clark pinpointed as recruiting guru

By on January 31, 2011

Jay Clark is the best recruiter at the University of Georgia and one of the best in the country according to ESPN The Magazine. Clark was named the ninth-best recruiter in all of college sports. It is an interesting title, but not one that comes with much surprise. After all, it is Clark’s recruiting efforts [...]

Fox trying to avoid the ‘stinkers’

By on January 31, 2011

Losing stinks. Mark Fox caught a heavy whiff of the stench last week, with Georgia dropping to last place in the SEC East after two close losses to Florida and Kentucky. At the moment, the Bulldogs are on the outside looking in at the NCAA Tournament. And yes, that stinks too. Part of the problem [...]

Weekend roundup, the President being presidential

By on January 31, 2011

Here are a couple of stories I liked from this weekend: Jim Galloway’s weekly column, which I believe usually runs in the print edition of the AJC on Sundays, focused on the continuing internecine war between Republican State Senate leaders and Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle. Galloway’s article does a good job of rounding up the [...]

This winter, stay inside — but still have fun

By on January 30, 2011

Though this weekend’s temperatures have been glorious, we’re sure to have more wintry days to come. And with temperatures dipping into the 30s, trading skinny jeans and high heels for sweatpants and slippers is not uncommon. Thankfully, we live in Athens, and the one thing I love about the Classic City is the abundance of liquor and [...]

Georgia-Kentucky (Game 2): Game Rewind

Player of the Game Doron Lamb, Kentucky The ‘Overlooked Player of the Game’ in the two teams’ first meeting, Lamb was once again a scoring force off the bench for the Wildcats.
