About

Just another homesick Bulldog stuck in a place he doesn't want to be in ... (Las Vegas) ... and I miss Athens and my state so bad all I do is dream of it!

I promise to respect everyone's opinions regardless of how they feel about my own most of the time.

When it comes to College Football and the Georgia Bulldogs I can be quite sensitive:)

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    All who realize that cheating and bad conduct will never replace sportmanship and fair play regardless of who and where they are.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    The Atlanta Braves, Falcons, Hawks and the Georgia Bulldogs. Little League Baseball (all teams that compete)

  • Favorite Coaches

    Bobby Cox - Vince Dooley/Mark Richt - Paul (The Bear) Bryant - Vince Lombardi - Hank Stram

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    April 8, 1974 - at 10 years of age while watching cartoons I was forced to watch Henry Aaron hit his 715th home run off Al Downing in Atlanta. I have never been so frightened as I thought my parents and neighbors were dying there was so much screaming and yelling going on. I've been a Braves fan ever since. (smiling)

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    April 5, 1984 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kareem Abdul Jabbar set the all time NBA scoring record of 31,420 total points with a 10-foot sky hook. Before the shot the record was 31,419 points held previously by Wilt Chamberlain. Kareem went on to finish his great career with a final tally of 38,387 points. That record will never be broken because the new crop of players don't have the will or stamina to play 20 plus years. With the $money$ they make they won't have to or want to play that long.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Georgia Tech 222 - 0 over Cumberland College. Most people have forgotten about that. Most people never even knew about it for that matter. It was definitely unfair since Cumberland didn't have any true players due to a discontinued program. The record books still count it and it will never be matched.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Both. Each in their own way were the greatest ... and shouldn't be compared. Kinda like me loving apples and oranges ... each in due time are appropriate.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana. Not even close.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Russell played defense like no other but points win games just as well as defense and Jordan scored a lotta points. Ask Craig Ehlo about that.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. Period.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    I don't like Soccer. That's way too much effort for 1 point. Can you imagine NFL games ending 1 - 0 or 0 to 0 ties?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    I don't like Tennis ... but Pete Sampras.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    I really ... really ... don't like Golf. Both are great though ... (smiling)

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Richard Petty.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Jackie Stewart ... it doesn't matter who the better drivers are ... I have my favorites and I'm stickin' to em'!

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Ha ... ha ... ha ... ha ... the Georgia Bulldogs ... I don't give a damn about the other teams in the SEC or any other conference for that matter.

    Sorry that you're homesick but you're out there in the wild wild west. Get out and explore the area You've got the Grand Canyon not that far south of you and it is amazing.

    Thank you for picking the little piece I wrote. I bet you do wish you could be in Athens right about now. Trust me, they are going to extremely good this year with only a few areas to get up to speed.
