Seymour KOs Big Ben

Trying to catch a sex predator? Disgusted at the GBIs inability to defend young drunk women? Chris Hansen no where to be found..??


Seymour's got this...

I'm sure there'll be a hefty fine for his actions. But it's ok Richard, fathers of young girls across the nation...we got this. Just send us the bill.

Retribution on the Flats

Found this video by Ryan Scates of Bulldawg Illustrated. Good stuff. Suck it nerds!

With the Clean Ol' Fashioned Hate kicking into top gear this week and Thanksgiving on Thursday, I feel like doing two things today: hate Tech and watch Plains, Trains and Automobiles.

"Train don't run out of Wichita... unlessin' you're a hog or a cattle. People train runs out of Stubbville."

And now a word from our sponsors...

A little over a year ago I piloted the new XoS Digital SEC Video Zone widget. It's taken a while for me to renew that agreement, partly because the last one had some issues that have since been worked out...but mostly due to laziness.


Anyway, it's back up as you can probably tell. They've taken away the auto-play feature, so it should only play and interrupt your reading experience if you choose to. I've also noticed that it seems to load more quickly; last year it seemed to bog things down a bit. It requires a flash player, so I doubt it's usable on handheld devices and smart phones. Unless yours is smarter than mine.


I'll try to make an announcement via Twitter or post if they air something other than highlights, such as a Mark Fox interview after advancing to the Sweet Sixteen.


Most of all, if you have any problems with it, please don't hesitate to let me know: berniedawg (AT) gmail (DOT) com.


Secondly, not sure how much posting I'll get to this weekend. Depends how easily the kids' treehouse goes up. Smells like a bye weekend to me!

Bizarro McGarity and the Boise Rumor

They can't garner much support for a #1 ranking, but give credit to Boise State for one thing - they have elevated their status to the point that they don't have to come all the way to Athens for a game of national prominence. Five years ago, that's where they were. Desperate for a run at the big boys and willing to come to Georgia to get what turned out to be nothing more than a tune up for the guys in silver britches.

I guess this will have to be an off-season trip now.

The distance from Athens to Atlanta is small, but the distance between the matchups of 2005 and 2011 will be great. BSU fans will certainly travel for this one, especially after what they did to VA Tech in DC back in August and the fact that the Dawgs will be coming off two consecutive disappointing seasons.

I shook this rumor off at first glance. But when McGarity won't comment and Coach Richt says we'll wait until Monday...something's up. And it looks like it's bye-bye Kentucky Bourbon tour in 2012 and hello Chris Peterson in the Dome next August. Unless something throws a wrench in this thing, I would expect us to lose the home game next year in favor of adding a neutral site. But as Groo points out, the end line would have it's advantages.

I just still can't wrap my brain around it though. Just when I had let go of the big non-conference games and settled into a plate of mostly regional cupcakes, we get Boise State in the Kickoff Classic. Okay. I understand the money side of it. I guess I just didn't expect to dump our new scheduling philosophy so fast, even if this is just a one-time aberration in McGarity's grand plan. Or maybe I underestimated our desperation in dumping Louisville.

From Columbus to Athens, the long way

Nice write up yesterday by Tucker on Jarvis Jones, who has gone from KiffyBaby's cold shoulder to the near end of a redshirt season at Georgia. It covers his C5 injury and really paints a picture of how much he's struggled with it; not just the injury itself but also in the trust of the people around him in what advice he was being given.


But luckily:

“I’m 100 percent healthy now,” (Jones) said. “I’ve put [the injury] behind me and all the jitterbugs that I had. I was pretty scared about how I was doing, but I’ve put that behind me. And now I’m back to having fun and playing football, something I love to do.”

And his team will be ready to have him playing football. Grantham has high expectations:

“He’s obviously a guy that’s going to help us, and I’m excited that he’s here. He’s going to be a guy who makes plays. . . . I’m looking forward to getting him out there in the spring and working with him.”

Dent and Gamble are both gone after this season. I don't feel confident Houston will be back. So, can Jones play three...at once?

Thank a Nerd, and buy a ticket

UPDATE: tickets have sold out in just a few hours. Extras came from non-football recruiting and TV. h/t Weiszer

I would like to take this time to take back the insensitive things I have typed about the engiNerds. They are a thoughtful and thankful lot.*

The University of Georgia Athletic Office has put on sale a "limited number of available tickets" to the November 27th renewal of Clean Ol' Fashioned Hate. Even with Christmas still weeks away NATS is in the spirit of giving...that which they could not sell.

When I called Butts-Mehre this morning to ask about the free cokes and hot dogs we were unfortunately cut off. I took that as a no.

*thems just jokes

Today's dose of #NerdFail

What if? What if Thomas had caught that well-thrown Nesbitt sideline pass? He ran a great out-route, looked the ball in. It just fell inexplicably to the ground.

Based on yesterday's lesson, I guess we could say Thomas really reggie ball'd it.

The Case Against the Worse Case Scenario

AJ Green is the best receiver to ever hitch a route at Georgia. He'll be drafted within the top five, top seven for sure. There's no reason to believe he'll come back for his senior year.


Or is there...

• the chances of a lockout are great and that would play a large role in his decision
• he's never played a full season, between a hamstring, a shoulder and a jersey
• he's just 20 hours short of his degree, on track to graduate next December

Don't discount the last bullet. To quote #8 himself:

“That’s going to be big. I was to get that (degree) because my family is really big on that, especially my mom. She really wants me to get that. Whatever she wants, then hey, I’ve got to do what she wants and make her happy. So if she tells me to stay, I’m going to stay.”

Go Mama Green! 


AJ put in a lot of work this off season with the goal of playing the full 2010 slate. Ultimately, when the season does end he's going to feel like he still has something to prove. But will it be enough to have him turn down a top pick in the NFL draft and millions of guaranteed dollars?


Stay greedy you NFL bastards. Stay very, very greedy.

Nerdabulary 101

What? The entire state, or just us
cuz we run it?

We might get into some more advanced nerdisms next week when Clean Old-Fashioned Hate Week really revs up. But for now, let's cover the basics of some North Avenue lingo that may come in handy.

• Joke by the Coke -(n) casual reference to the nerds' location when they pursue advance degrees in Ignoring Basic Personal Hygiene, Level 46 Wizardry and How to Dance to Kernkraft 400. Usage - Oh, are you a rent-a-cheerleader for the Duke game? Yes, just go to the Joke by the Coke, turn right and look for the guys wearing robes and carrying swords.
• Ball'd - or more formally, Reggie Ball'd (v) to make an inexplicable mistake in an ordinarily routine task. Usage - Damn, I really reggie ball'd that expense report. What comes after three again?
• Braine Power - (n) the use of one's faculties that seemingly causes inordinately more harm than good. Usage - Gan Chailey tried to use his braine power to cash his check at the bank, but really ball'd it up.
• Historic Mark Richt Field - (n) "athletic" field on the trade school's campus that sells out once every other year. Usage - Dude, we're going to Historic Mark Richt Field! It's a WHITE OUT!!!!1
• King/Ealey Connector - (n) a stretch of turf off of North Avenue in downtown Alanner 339 yards long that connects Dawgs with yet another victory at Historic Mark Richt Field. Usage - I'm still amazed at how the King/Ealey Connector was so well paved. (h/t Ollllddude)

That's a decent start. Please feel free to add your own entries below.

Fox's Dawgs now 2-0

Gerald Robinson Jr. led Georgia in scoring with 21 points as Coach Fox's Dawgs downed Colorado last night 83-74. I didn't get to see the game due to a late night at work, but was able to hear the last 7 minutes or so on the way home.


Leslie added 19 and Price had 17. Fox is still without Trey Thompkins who's still recovering from a high ankle sprain. In fact, it doesn't sound hopeful he'll be able to play Saturday night on the road against the Saint Louis Billikens.
