Touché. I should be more careful about posting rude comments as myself. Uncalled for. (I do seriously disagree with your opinion, but it's yours to have). That said, no worries on a job hunt. That profile is old--I'm gainfully employed as a sports writer at my second newspaper in as many years.

I've tried replying this to your comment on my column but it isn't working...but here's what I wrote:

All you have to do is take a look at my page Timothy. Here are a list of positive--if not a little balanced--columns I've written about Georgia:

A balanced look at the players I think need to perform in 2010 for Georgia to be successful:

Being a good fan of a team doesn't mean that you can never disagree with anything it does. I call it like I see it. I have been perhaps even more positive than I have been negative. You have just chosen to read the articles that you disagree with. Listen, things aren't all puppies and roses up in Athens, Ga. and pretending like they are doesn't make the problems go away. Any football fan can see how an 8-5 season signals trouble for a team that is expected to annually be one of the best in the conference and country.

I have been attending UGA for four--going on four and a half years before I graduate in December--and I have been to virtually every home game as well as the majority of road games from Baton Rouge to Fayetteville to Columbia to Knoxville to Jacksonville to Tuscaloosa and screamed myself hoarse at every stadium. I sat through all four quarters of both blowout losses to Florida and ran up and down the aisles hugging people I didn't know in overtime win over Alabama. But I am spending my money at the university to be an objective writer first and foremost and I'm not going to waste my money to spit propaganda for the program.

If occasionally being critical of them makes me a bad fan to you, so be it. But I think we have very different characteristics of what a good fan is...

Haven't missed a Lions home game in six season--that IS loyal. Gotta respect loyalty in fans--easy to like them when they're hot. P.S. I'm hoping my boy Stafford can pan out for you guys--already showed more heart for Detroit than he ever did at UGA in that game where he got his shoulder knocked out of place.
