Smart to speak in Macon

For any fellow mid-staters, in case you missed it, Coach Smart will be speaking to the Macon TD Club on February 22 at the Methodist Children’s Home. For more information, visit their website. Should be good times.

Rooting Interests

Tonight is the big night. One day we will experience what Clempson and Bama fans are experiencing in the desert right now. Until then, we’ve got to choose sides. 

I’ve long contended that Clemson was our sister school and that they are more SEC than SC, Vandy and Kentucky. They’re the land grant institution in the Palmetto State, have a similar alumni base, and are generally comparable to UGA. I normally don’t admit it, but today is as good a time as any. I’m a closet Clemson fan. They’re my “2nd” team. I pull for them every time they don’t play us. I long for the day when we renew the annual rivalry with our sisters to the east. It’s the perfect way to open a season. 

That said, I’m all in on Clemson today. IPTAY. Beat Bama. Go Tigers. You can find detailed analysis elsewhere. I’m just a fan today.  


 

  We’ve got some dear friends who are Clemson alumni. They’re in the desert and having a ball. We promised to share pictures, so here are a few. Happy watching.

Hey there, Charlie

There are two blogs in Georgia that set the bar. Thanks to the Senator for hosting one of these. The other is not focused on all things UGA, but if you like southern culture and southern politics, then you’re familiar with Peach Pundit. 

Icarus, now known as Charlie Harper, has been my blogging role model for eight years. Charlie took a fork in the road and has taken his talents to a new home, GeorgiaPol.com. I’ll miss what he and his gang did at Peach Pundit, but I’m certain this new venture will be even more fun for all of us. 

This post was to say “Thank You, Charlie” for the great times at PP, but also to encourage you to check out his new site. This is the time of year to talk Georgia politics, and Charlie is the best. 

Stay warm my friends.
