yes i am still here

I know it is hard to keep my numbers up when I all of a sudden take a month off, but hey, sometimes, one just has to step back and take a little time to clear the head.
I have this constant tugging asking me why I am bothering with this blog when only about 100 people on average read the damn thing but I am always pulled back in because, well, I just don't think we have anything else around here anymore.
Sure there are other blogs, but they are different and more professionally done that mine.
We have sports radio, but most of the time they have different objectives than I do, and I wont get into that.
Where else can one read about local sports ?
Well nowhere
I must talk about the DAWGS for a minute or two because it has been an amazing season and a lot of it is because of Kirby Smart. Kirby convinced all of those seniors to come back which is the main reason why they are in a position to win a national championship. Kirby got a commit from Jake Fromm, who is as polished as a pair of new shoes, and Kirby assembled a coaching staff that is as good as any in the country.
Thank you Kirby for giving UGA fans this gif of Monday night.
It was a year ago that I was telling everyone that Jake Fromm would be the starter by mid-season. It is not that Jacob Eason is not a great qb who will probably be a better professional than Jake will be, its just the poise thing. Jacob is20 years old going on 20 years old and Jake is 19 going on 24. The maturity thing comes at different times, esp for boys, I think we all know that. But Jacob Eason has handled this difficult situation like a man, and I hope he decides to stay at UGA and battle it out for the job.
One word about Mark Richt. I firmly believe he is in the top 10 percent of coaches in the NCAA and anyone who doesn't think so needs to take a strong look at his career. It is true he didn't offer Fromm a scholarship but he was just all in with Eason at the time. Sure it was a mistake, but coaches have to make those judgement calls all of the time....
Oh you want a final score ?
UGA 24 Alabama 20.


Congrats to Ed Smith for getting his 500th win last Friday night and congrats the Stratford for making it a big deal. That's why Stratford is Stratford.
We should be moving into some very good high school basketball this month and I will make sure to get a top 10 list for teams and players out very soon, but it is a difficult thing to do because getting stats is more difficult every day. But I will do my best. .


Everyone stay safe out there, its a little bit cold and everyone is sick right now.
