Friday's Fathead Feedbag

As promised.


What's the big deal with Fatheads? I guess I can understand the ones that are of a team's helmet or something of the like that is timeless. But if I were from Wisconsin and was the biggest cheesehead to ever cut it, why would I want to lay down $100 on a Fathead of Clay Matthews when in a few years or less he might be a 49er, a Bengal or (gasp!!) a Viking?


What becomes of my fathead then? Ebay as a collector's item? Trashcan? Halloween decoration?


Fat, yet proportional.
It just baffles me sometimes what we spend money on. And trust me I'm including myself and those close to me in that. My 9 year old used to love to dump money into this gumball type machine at our local Kroger. Except instead of gumballs it gave you one of those little plastic containers with the cheap prize in it. She'd beg for $.50 and even break her piggy bank just to throw coins into that thing, turn the dial and hear the prize tumble down. She was just sure this time the little miniature puppy would come rolling out into her little palm.


WompWomp!...Another cheapass keyring. Which is just as worthless as a Vince Young Tennessee Titan Fathead.


The Feedbag
  • Good thing Gator Charlie Weis Fatheads were never produced. Whew!
  • I mean seriously? MusChomp didn't even know Weis had interviewed at Kansas? And found out on the way to his Gator Bowl presser? This season's been a Nightmare on Jort Street. It's like a UGA and FSU alum got together and wrote the script. I'd give it two thumbs up. Way up!
  • Every one of Murray's TD passes in video, yes please (h/t Groo). Remarkable.
  • Outback Bowl update: wanted to pass along some ticketing and lodging info I've received.

  1. Tickets - per UGA: Tickets are $75 and can be ordered online now @ www.georgiadogs.com or by calling the Athletic Association ticket office 1-877-542-1231 between 8:30a.m. - 4:30p.m. Monday-Friday. All orders will be filled in the order in which they are received and upon availability.
  2. Lodging - got an email this week from Dan who runs a Tampa area Days Inn. He assures us it's a Georgia run hotel and plans to have it decorated in red and black as well as a complimentary hospitality room. Hotel has wireless, pool, free breakfast and rates as low as $45 for 1-4 person accomodations. Contact info: phone(813) 977-1550; email - Daysinn05280 AT aol DOT com  addressTampa Days Inn North  701 E. Fletcher Ave Tampa, Florida 33612

  • Speaking of the bowl game...the players are getting a watch, a ring, $25 Outback giftcard, $150 BestBuy giftcard and a cap. You can check out each bowl's gifts here.
  • It's official, Texas A&M is completely nuts. As if Coach Richt would pick his entire compound of Richtlets up and move all the way to College Station. This is what happens when beat writers and fanbases are just interested in throwing around names without understanding the men that bear them. So glad we're not in that position.
Speaking of worse than bonkers...quick reminder: tomorrow is Munson's Memorial. If you'd like a special sticker and ribbon, see Kevin at 11:30 in the Tate Center by the big tv. (check the FB page for more updates)




Already miss that guy. See you there!


Go Dawgs!

There was the rumor that Kansas was talking to the Pumpkin King . I guess Kansas likes its Coaches---> Super Sized! What makes these coaches morph into elephants  when they are surrounded by athletes?  It looked like CTG had slimmed down and toned up some from year 1 to year 2. Good example for the team to follow. Guess Coach T got involved.
Joke:
How do you turn your girlfriend into an elephant?

Marry her.
Have a great day!

Yeh, those FU fans are so relieved now that their "decided schematic advantage" has boarded a JUMBO jet. Not worried in the least since BOOM M'FER has promised them the best OC in the world.

You may have already talked about this but, last Saturday at the SECCG a rumor was floating around (and was on ESPN as well) that Texas may go after Saban after Mack "retires". Interesting if he does "retire" to see what plays out.

I wonder if Texas is big enough for that ego...
