I Like This!!!

You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.

How Bout Them Dawgs


I haven't really said anything about this before, but yes I am a Georgia Bulldog fan. Having grown up in south Georgia and been witness to some of the greatest Georgia football moments that the bulldogs have been part of, I have always been proud to be a Georgia Fan.
This past weekend I was privileged and honored to take my family to Tuscaloosa for the game between the Dawgs and the Crimson Tide. I was quite impressed with the campus and the stadium. Its not Sanford Stadium in Athens but it is quite impressive. Yes there is some bias here!!!!!
It was the kids and my sweeties first trip to a BIG TIME SEC game, and although they were a little nervous and apprehensive, they were troopers and seemed to have enjoyed themselves.
And yes folks this is a house divided!!!!!! They are all Bama fans. Although the man child tried to root for Georgia, I that deep down he was pulling for Bama. And as it were the game came down to an heroic overtime play that thrilled the small yet vocal contingent of Georgia fans and left the Bama fans still seeking a miracle from the Bear.
I must say that my first trip to the Capstone was quite memorable and I have nothing but high praise for the University and the experience. I do hope to make it back there for another fall gridiron contest.

Around the SEC, Update

Here I go with the first update on my SEC watches for the year!
1. Hmmmm. IF you haven't noticed, LSU may have a pretty good team!!! And most of the Tigers fans aren't real concerned that J. Russell isn't their Qb this year.

2. Darren McFadden 2 57 346 173.0
Felix Jones 2 28 225 112.5
If you add it up thats 285 yds/game for the dynamic duo from Arkansas.
Yes I know that Alabama beat them this weekend, and if you are a hog fan you are questioning some of the late calls, but all the calls equal out. And really if truth be known after the fisrt quarter the hogs played you really shouldn't have been in the game. But I digress. This is supposed to be about one hell of a running back tandom. Lets just say that the stats speak for themselves.

3. Kentucky beats #9 ranked Louisville. In doing so they beat a top ranked team for the first time since............and the Commadores have a winning record too!

This now leads to some interesting thoughts.
Remember that Colin"The Herd" Cowherd(ESPN Radio) picked Kentucky to beat Flordia straight up when they come to Lexington this year and he also picked Alabama to beat LSU straight up when they come to T-town this year.

And I still don't care anything about South Carolina!!!!

She Said YES!!!!!


She said YES!
Thats right folks, I asked my honey to marry me last night and the answer is held in the title of this post. The picture is the ring which she now wears proudly but modestly on her most beautiful finger. She took the pic. this a.m. while I was at work and posted it to her various sites. I do look so forward to marrying this wonderful lady.

Well, maybe.....sometimes

You Are 92% Gentleman

No doubt about it, you are a total gentleman.
You please the pickiest ladies, and you make everyone in a room feel comfortable.

Good Start

One of the things that I wanted to watch was how the Arkansas running backs would fair this year. They are off to a good start as you can see. Yes McFadden is sensational. He would be a star on any team with out a doubt. But what about Felix Jones? There is no question in my mind that he could start and be a star at most any school. This may be as good a combination there has been since the Auburn duo of Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams. Some people may point out that its early in the season and we will have to see if they can prove themselves. If you doubt it much just look at last season and hold on to your sock for this season. I believe they are going to keep producing the number that they did last night even if the Hogs can't produce the number of wins and the success that they had last year.
Yds. Ave. Lg.
D. McFadden 24 151 6.3 25
F. Jones 12 129 10.8 44

Now for the SEC East:
Southeastern Conf All
East
Kentucky 0-0 1-0
Florida (6) 0-0 1-0
Vanderbilt 0-0 1-0
Georgia (13) 0-0 1-0
South Carolina 0-0 1-0
Tennessee (15) 0-0 0-1

The only team to lose this week was Tennessee to a good and set on revenge California team. Tennessee did show some heart in trying to stay in the game and no doubt will have a good year. But the impressive thing is not what the top teams did but what the East as a whole did. Again it is very early in the year and "there is a lot of football left", but the impressive wins by Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Kentucky show that this is going to be a tough year for every one in the east.

So far my preseason watches are holding their own with most every thing going on in the NCAA. Lets hop that they continue to hold their form.

Oh yea, GO BIG BLUE AND MAZE!!!!!!!!
