It's been a long time...

...since my last posts and a lot of the other "football" has been underway for over a month now. That's right, you're University of Georgia Bulldawgs have carved out a 5-0 record going into this weekend's faceoff with our hillbilly neighbors to the North from Knoxville, TN.

College football has helped fill that deep sports void I was feeling after the World Cup. The English Premiere is in high gear, so I still get my soccer fix on, but US Soccer has literally fallen off the face of the sports map. We are without a coach, have missed two international dates (these are dates recognized by soccer nations worldwide to schedule international matches. Club teams also recognize these dates and cooperate by allowing their players to leave for national duty), and have seen our once revered national coach make an ass of himself by publicly blaming a "weak" MLS for the US' poor perfomance in the World Cup. Not to mention, he's also isolated himself from US Soccer by speaking out against Gulati, the BMOC at US Soccer, calling him "a super fan" with no clue how the system works.

Anywho...thank God for the Dawgs, even if their shaky performances have left much to be desired. Too many comeback-from-behind efforts for me. I'll say the obvious and just point to our QB situation as the biggest area of improvement.

All right, so there's a little catching up to do here with all the tailgating that's been going on. See the next posts...
