Tech-UGA in Georgia Dome?

Discussions are being held about the possibility of the Jackets and the Dawgs playing in the Georgia Dome during the opening weekend of the 2011 season. This is a terrible idea for a few reasons.
1. The game would lose its significance being played during the first week.
2. Both Tech and UGA would have to find replacement games for the last week of the season. These games would likely be against lower-tier FBS teams or FCS teams.
3. Neither team would be able to schedule a good out-of-conference game to start the season.

I have a feeling that both fan bases will be vehemently against this, so I doubt it will come to fruition.

Lamar Owens Update

From Paul Johnson's call in show last night:

Wes: Lamar Owens, former Navy player on sideline, what's his role?
CPJ: He's a graduate asst., understands the offense, works with QBs and BBacks as an information resource between series to answer questions or help make adjustments

We Lost To Beach In '96...

Not the time to hang your heads, Cadets. Friday night you proved you can compete with anybody in the region. I won't make it in town for homecoming because I'll need to save up taking Friday afternoons off for mid-November...

I Blame Bush

So Chicago lost their bid for the 2016 Olympics. Some liberals have immediately blamed W for this. Is it so hard to believe that the golden boy is not going to get what he wants for once (socialized health care is still undecided).

Cautious Optimism

Are they for real?



We'll find out tonight.

Too bad I'll be in Bourbon Street during the 4th quarter. Expect score requests via text message.

I'm Lovin' It

Just finished a $2.99 double cheeseburger combo with a coke from McDonald's. It tasted amazing, and the best part is, I'm actually full from it too. I've never understood why folks who claim to be looking out for the poor constantly bash the very companies (McDonalds, Wal-Mart) that help the poor and middle class save money every day. McDonald's not only delivers in the food department, but it has now pissed Starbucks and the intellectual class off by making lattes, capuccinos, and iced macchiatos available to Mexicans and white trash for $1, things only the rich were drinking 20 years ago. Thanks capitalism. Keep on getting bashed by politicians, intellectuals and business incumbents for deliverin' the goods.

Now I know you're thinking "sure, the combo's only 3 bucks, but it's really bad for you," to which I would respond "that's the whole point! bring it on!" Look, here's the deal: all three of my remaining grandparents are in their 70's/80's, and trust me, all three of them are miserable. They hate their lives. I do not want to live nearly as long as them. I want to go out somewhere between 55-65, maybe even earlier if possible. Thanks to McDonald's, I get to save my money now and the taxpayers' money down the road because I won't be sucking off Medicare or Social Security (neither of which are solvent nor will likely be in existence when we reach that age anyway).

Mark Mizelle in AJC

Congratulations to Mark Mizelle for being recognized in the AJC for his very impressive weight loss. Good stuff, buddy.

The Quotable JPH

I just randomly googled "beach music boat shoes" and discovered that a website called Freedom Works copied and pasted one of Pat's old posts back in the day.

Great Move

The College Football Hall of Fame is rumored to be moving to Atlanta. I know we all grew up Notre Dame fans, but having the HOF attraction in South Bend doesn't make business sense.

Do You Like Phil Collins?

The year is 1985. The month is September. President Reagan's approval rating stands at 66%. The economy is undergoing an unprecedented expansion. And Phil Collins is ruling the charts with a seemingly endless string of hits from No Jacket Required. This one peaked at #4, exactly 24 years ago this week:

Sixty-eight seniors were commissioned as Cadet Officers this past Saturday night. None of them made the "Holland Leap".

*The Holland Leap references Jack Holland being promoted from Squad Leader to Brigade XO in the fall of 2002.
