The bowl season can be very stressful for dedicated football fans. I offer this bit of advice for my former Bulldog friends if they lose the Rose Bowl game New Year's Day. BT
The University of Georgia Bulldogs will be playing the Oklahoma Sooners Monday January 1, 2018
If they lose, I recommend that they follow the Stress Reduction Plan that a UGA Professor posted on his website. For the record it was rescinded. I did not make this up. Click on the picture or "Here to see the article in The Blaze"
" If you feel unduly stressed by a grade for any assessable material or the overall course, you can email the instructor indicating what grade you think is appropriate, and it will be so changed. No explanation is required, but it is requested that you consider waiting 24 hours before emailing the instructor."

There is an old joke that all you had to do to get a University of Georgia diploma is to drive through Athens, Georgia. That is not true!
Sorry about them Dawgs. Nick Saban may be worth the money, however; regardless of the huge salary, he earns he has carved out a bigger place upon the landscape of the college football map for greatness.
He will overtake Bear Bryant, Forrest Gump notwithstanding. |
Them Dawgs are in the title game; congratulation my Cracker friends, who are many.

I posted this entire exchange on Facebook and I did not get one like but several people unfriended me. I sure am glad I don't post politics on FB. I am so glad that Facebook does not have a Middle-Finger Emoji. Apparently humor is not a requirement for admission to UGA. I can also detect by the views that there are few UGA / Football or Bobby Tony fans on Beaufort County Now. I think I am done for now. I may have to offer apologies after tomorrow's game. beaufortcountynow.com |

What is the first thing the Georgia graduate says to the Georgia Tech graduate when they meet for coffee in the morning. "Good Morning, Boss" |
Comment 4:
The best thing that ever came out of Athens, Georgia (The location of UGA) is Highway 78 heading to Atlanta. It is called the Atlanta Highway by the residents of Athens because they have a problem with numbers. Both Fran and Herschel took that route to get the heck out of Athens. |
I love your detached condescension regarding the intelligence of Georgia football participants. Fran Tarkenton and Herschel Walker certainly did turn out alright.

"Alabama had a bye week before its last regular-season game that season against the University of Miami. Namath planned to watch the Army-Navy football game on TV, but the game was pushed back a few weeks because of the assassination of President Kennedy. Instead, he spent an evening at a local diner where, admittedly, he had literally a few sips of beer. This was a clear violation of Coach Bryant's policy of no alcohol during the season. Bryant heard a rumor that Namath had been drinking over the weekend, so he approached his star quarterback and asked him if it was true. Namath admitted to the few sips of beer (while not mentioning that many of his teammates were drunk at an off-campus party that night).
According to Mark Kriegel's excellent book, Namath, after a short deliberation, Coach Bryant told Namath he could allow Namath to continue to play, but to do so would violate Bryant's principles, and the coach would have to resign. Instead, Coach Bryant decided to suspend Namath for the final regular-season game against Miami and for the upcoming Sugar Bowl."

Here is a clip with Joe Namath telling a few stories about Bear Bryant and his character building. When a coach benches his star quarterback before the Sugar Bowl, he has more in mind than football. Alabama did win the game against Ole Miss 12 to 7 in a defensive battle.
