The Lady Sportswriter Kimberley Nash and I talk College Football, Mark Richt’s possible new reality, debate Mark Sanchez as an NFL starter, and whether or not Spam really is worse than what Burger King is offering up. Happy Thursday!

It was the perfect backdrop for a day of college football.
Finally, that crisp autumn air was a little “nippier” and it was starting to feel like something special was going to happen. Continue reading “Nightmare In Dixie: Atlanta Braves, Georgia Bulldogs Give State Of Georgia Their Worst 48-Hours In Sports History (Part 2)”
Last weekend was full of promise as a sports fan in the State of Georgia.
On Friday the Braves, back in the postseason for the first time since 2010, were ready to go against the team that had unceremoniously knocked them out last season.

It isn’t enough for Mark Richt’s fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs to defeat the sixth-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks. They have to do something far more drastic Saturday evening.
They need to beat them soundly and without much mercy. Continue reading “NCAA Football 2012: University of Georgia Needs To Make A Statement With Win Over Spurrier, South Carolina”
Apparently, a travesty happened last weekend in college football.
Savannah State, a division I-AA program, played Oklahoma State and lost 84-0. I would have thrown in a more appropriate term for the loss but there are none really. Continue reading “NCAA Football 2012-2013: Savannah State, Florida State Type Match Ups Aren’t A New Concept. But Is It Wrong?”
It’s been nine, frustratingly long years since an American hoisted the US Open, or any grand slam trophy.
The last man to do so, Andy Roddick, retired after his fourth-round loss to Juan Martin del Potro, yesterday. A somewhat unceremonious end to a great career altered drastically by the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

Shaka Smart knows how to get a team to perform.
Last season, the VCU Rams made an improbable run to the NCAA Final Four before losing to Butler (another team seemingly out of nowhere). This year the Rams should shock no one because they are a solid basketball team with a very scary component now on their side.
Experience. Continue reading “NCAA March Madness Primer: VCU Rams, Wichita State Shockers Are Names To Remember”

Pat Knight this is your signature moment.
The son of legendary head coach Bob Knight went on a rant of epic proportion after his team lost to Stephen F. Austin. It wasn’t so much the rant part that was shocking but the content of it. To call your players out for being lazy, heartless, problematic thieves in a public forum is probably one of the most shocking displays I’ve seen from a coach in a long time.
I understand the frustration of a coach is at a high when your players aren’t performing and don’t seem to care if they get better. I don’t understand airing out the laundry in public, especially in a way that doesn’t build up the players or the program.
Lots to learn coach.
Austin Rivers was ballin’ last night, you hear me?
