It's August and Erk just ripped another page off the calendar.

My first instinct was to drop a hype video or one of those highlight montages here for today. But I think I'd rather keep things simple...clear headed...except for maybe a few drops of blood.

Yes, I think it's time to get a big neck.

Open the door and take a whiff. That's August sunshine in your face this morning. If you want the team to keep their minds right, set an example. When most of the SEC elite players were at PCB during spring break, Nick Chubb was back in Cedartown working out with his high school. That's old school. No fake juice. No rap-induced hype video. No half-assed effort to raise the bar back up.

Just another day to get better. 

Remember the squib kick. Never forget.

There was evidently a replay of the last edition of "Clean Old-Fashioned Hate". (h/t Weiszer)

Yes, that's the official engiNerd Twitter account and their radio guy in response. Maybe they were the only ones watching. But then again I didn't bother to click on the "THWG" hashtag.

Anyway, just a cautious reminder as to why this rivalry is important. And what it feels like when that blind squirrel gets their nut.
