Saturday is the day

This weekend will kick off the 2009 NCAA Football season. Not only will the UGA team start, but many others from around the country will embark on a fun filled and exciting season. Although I will not be attending this game. It is in Oklahoma. I like my fellow football fans will gather at a location to view the game with many of my friends and family. This gathering will be the first of many and they are always the same. Rowdy fans (not all UGA fans) together in one place probably having a drink or two and just hoping that their teams does not fall victim to the other. I do not foresee any Oklahoma State fans being in my group this weekend, but that does not mean the nerves won't be present.

I sometimes wonder if the players know how nervous us fans are? I would say that I am sweaty nervous before any UGA game. I am just hoping, praying that they play well and execute every single play to the best of their abilities.

I hope you all will be tuning in on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. for the start of the season...lets just hope that its worth the wait.

2009 Little League World Series

The LLWS is taking place now in Williamsport, PA. This league consists of teams from all over the world, ages 11 to 13. In watching these games I have been completely amazed by the talent and determination of these young boys. At times I find it hard to believe that they are not all cracking under the pressure of winning and making smart decisions on the field.

I also find it motivational to watch these young guys play. If we all had to focus and determination as these 11 and 13 year olds have, we just might be able to conquer some of our biggest fears in life. I also have found their passion for sports contagious and it will be interesting to see how far some of these kids go in the world of baseball.

(If no one else has been watching these games you all should check it out. The team from GA is going into the final round and it would be pretty cool if they won it all.)

It's almost here...

I have been a sports fan my whole life. I can remember from a young age watching sports with my grandfather. My favorite NCAA football team is the Georgia Bulldogs. I am attending UGA this fall and I am SOOO excited about this season.

This season should be an interesting one for UGA fans and SEC teams. Florida has been the dominate force in the SEC and the nation for the past 2 years and they show zero signs of slowing down. After UGA was pre-ranked #1 last year all sights were set on Athens, Ga. for a remarkable year. Even though UGA fell short of a BCS Title the season wasn't a total loss.

Even though we are no where near ranked #1 this year. I personally am excited about what is to come. Being the underdog is not always a bad thing and I think that UGA will surprise some folks this year.

In just a few short weeks the season will kick off and I'm predicting that UGA will exceed some expectations of the professionals and have another exciting season for us loyal fans!

GOOO DAWGS!
