Yeah, that's really the title of an article Pat Forde wrote for ESPN.com, a website which currently boasts the UGA dogpile on its front page. What a great game.
Richtenstein... "With the stadium rocking, Georgia took the opening kickoff and served a 10-play, 70-yard cup of shut-up to the Tide faithful."
Game recap... "A game like this makes it all worthwhile. Rings and trophies are nice but the memories we made tonight are going to last a lifetime"
In other news, teaching is fun but takes up so, so much of my time. Add in that I've got to finish out my contracts with SAT tutoring kids (almost done - Oct. 6th) and have university classes Monday and Wednesday evening, I am just getting totally beaten down. It's draining, I don't take but thirty seconds - literally - to fall asleep, which is where I'm headed right now. What a fucking amazing game. It's unfortunate that I had to spend it here, the armpit of civilization. I hope that sooner rather than later I can write about the experience - there is a drunk old guy involved - but for now let's say that a few dozen Applebee's patrons are aware of this guy's enjoyment of UGA. Wooooo o dawgs sic 'em

Beer Consumptio: lemme tell you something about Sierra Nevada, Stone Pale Ale, and Newcastle: they are the same fucking beer. That could very well be a result of my drinking 14 pints so far, but more likely it is due to the fact that these three beers rely on overpowering one with "hops" and other fun things Sam Adams commercials have taught me about. With six pints to go I'm holding pretty steady; I'm definitely walking the thick line between drunk and just plain buzzed. Since the UGA game ended in a pretty non-crazy way my beer drinking has slowed somewhat, and also I am a pussy, apparently (at least so says the Ohio State graduate). The next rest of the night is going to be throwing back a few pints and enjoying my last night of irresponsibility! Anybody in the Inland Empire, feel free to stop by Buffalo Wild Wings in Murrieta, just off the 215/15 intersection! Go Dawgs! Auburn is winning 18-13 with 1:53 to go: go SEC!!

UGA won handily! I think that next year we could go undefeated, easily. Tenn is down a few scores but I don't think that they are out of the game... yet. They are in Strawberry Canyon! Updating is hard to do now, there are too many beers on the table. So far I have accomplished 12 (maybe 13) of 20 beers... weather or not I finish is up to fate now. Go Dawgs!

UGA is basically sticking it to OSU. The game is close - 2 scores - but UGA is controlling for the most part. I don't recognize a lot of players on the defense -SHIT they're on our 50 - but for the most part we are owning. KNOWSHON is doing great, recieving and running. Thomas Brown has been a great role player so far, and I haven't seen too much of Lumpkin.
This update is brought to you by the word CAPITALIZATION. 11 beers down

I think it's really Hour # 6.5
UCLA v. Stanford = fluffy, tiddly-winks game in which one team or the other one, it doesn't really matter.
Everyone is winning as they are supposed to, except GaTech who slammed ND 33-3, and UGA is playing a great game with OSU, 21-14 at the half. The bar is slowly filling up; USC starts at 7:15pm and Cal/Tenn started half an hour ago.
I lost track of time because my laptop battery died and the only outlet was taken by some stupid non-SEC fans. In fact, I'm the only SEC guy here - my sympathizers from the Big ZTen have run off because their conference is very effeminate and they are frightened of real football. The UGA/OK State game is probably going to be the closest and most exciting game. Our defense is doing really well, considering I have no idea who they are!
I'm on my 11th beer - Dos Equis - and I think I've finally passed the drunk barrier. I can't guarantee regular updates from here on out, or at least until after the UGA game. There has really been a poor turnout for the bar. Right now we're about 85% full but I think maybe half of the people actually are paying attention. I'm off to drink more beers - school starts in three days!
And then she said, "You can use a straw", followed by some scientific information that supposedly backs this information up. LIES.

UCLA and Stanford are duking it out in a fierce, yard-for-yard battle. Oh wait, no they're not. It's 14-0 UCLA over Stanford, a team that went 1-11 last year. THE PAC-10 IS CLEARLY THE GREATEST CONFERENCE IN THE LAND! WHO NEEDS A CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP?
Fags.
Tech is owning Notre Dame, even though the score is only 9-0. I had a friend show up to keep me company and drink beer with me so I feel less like an alcoholic and more like a UGA fan. Onto beer #6, Miller Light (shit!). Where does Cal play football? Strawberry Canyon. How the hell do you get pumped up about playing in a place named after fruit?
UGA is coming up! But I'm going to have to compete with the end of the Nebraska the game (vs. Nevada??) and the beginning of the Cal/Tenn game... I'm hoping that since nobody around here went went to college we can keep it on UGA for as long as possible. Tech is now up 16-0. Shame, Notre Dame, shame. Also my cell phone is dead, so email me! Or leave a comment. Go Beer/Dawgs!

Woo Appalachian State! What a great finish, especially after Michigan made that completely stoppable deep pass. How did App. State let that happen? What the hell else was Michigan going to do, a QB sneak? But that blocker burst through the line on a mission from God and saved the day. The bar right now is about 1/3 full of a wide variety of colleges, from Nebraska to Ohio State to Wisconsin to, yes, Michigan. What fun we all had mocking his team's, and by extension his, last-ditch attempt at saving face by beating a team of hard-nosed potheads from Boone, NC.
Georgia Tech and Notre Dame are underway. Alex + wifey + fratties rented a Winnebago and drove up to South Bend for this game, and right now it looks as if Tech is going to win because ND can't find its offense. Nebraska is playing Nevada (blah), Washington State is up a TD on #7 Wisconsin, Wake is up on BC... Nothing much going except the beer drinking. I'm on pint 4 of 20 (Blue Moon), with Coors Light up next. Two pints an hour isn't going to cut it, but I anticipate an increase in beer consumption once the UGA game starts.
Oh yeah, UCLA and Stanford are playing the season's first pillow fight. UCLA just pranced into the end zone while Stanford danced around a maypole. The Pac-10 sucks.

App. State just intercepted the stupidest pass ever made in Michigan football history, keeping my (and the other four people in the bar) dream alive that Michigan eats turf on their season opener in front of 107,000 blue-clad dorks.
Ways to disappoint your alumni on national television: Shake your car keys at the opposing team. This "goodbye" action is pretty stupid. It's up there with singing "Hey Hey Hey, Good Bye" as far as completely misguided attempts at trash-talking. Even more embarrassing is when the student body is shaking their car keys at the opposing team IN THE THIRD QUARTER. WHEN YOU'RE ONLY LEADING BY 3. AND IT'S EASTERN CAROLINA. Survey says: no.
Another glaring difference between the glorious South and the wasteland called the West: some pastel-blue golf shirt-wearing wiener comments to his over-tanned wife and miserably disillusioned as to her own beauty daughter, "I gotta find out what time my UCLA Bruins are playing!". True fans here.
The long snapper for App. State face-masked the Michigan returner (this is before the interception) in the biggest game of the school's history when they're winning and adds 15 yards to Michigan's return. When you're the long snapper, you don't have a lot of room for error on the team. When you cost your team 15 yards against the number 5 team, you're basically gonna be walking bow-legged out of the showers.
All games are pretty much done right now: VaTech's offense accidentally scored a TD and they're up 10 with 1:36 left, and the other games are playing out as the AD's wanted them to (with an average margin of victory of 45 points). 7:45 left in the Michigan game, and Mike Hart is one crafty bastard.
Beer update: 3rd of 20 (Bud Light, Bud, Mich Ultra)

It's 11 a.m. and I have a beer. Twenty beers on tap, and the first one of the day is Bud Light. Woo. (Just so you know, yes, I am using a laptop in a sports bar. I know, I know. Sorry.). The only other guy in the bar is an Alabama fan, which goes to show how nobody around these parts has gone to college or cares about sports. Not for me, no sir. Appalachian State is beating the crap out of Michigan. I never liked Michigan - not for any good reason, there are some teams I just don't like. In that same vein, there are some teams I like for reason, like the Denver Broncos and Bobby Knight-coached basketball teams.
I am so happy right now, I'm watching ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU on giant big screens with a beer. It's the little things.
VaTech is NOT honoring the memories of those who were killed in the worst shooting in American history. Go Pirates!
As much as I want Tennessee to whomp Cal because I hate this state, I don't think they have the offensive power. Cal returns all of its offense, UT lost its top 3 receivers. Ainge is lukewarm at his best, the players around him make him any good.
WE WILL PREVAIL. WE ARE VIRGINIA TECH.

Saturday Morning
Two words: COLLEGE GAMEDAY.
I have to go to my school and diddle around my room for a while, get familiar with the area, and then I'm off to the sports bar. Last night it occurred to me that sitting in a sports bar with a lap top is kinda really dorky, I don't think that'll hold me back. So I'm up at 6:45 a.m., watching COLLEGE GAMEDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 8 MONTHS, before a full day of hootin' and hollerin'. I'm doing this for you.
"$11.50 for a hamburger? Y'all must be crazy!" You get 'em, sassy black Miller High Life representative.
Rece Davis: "Will Erik Ainge's pinky hold up?" Thrilling. They did say that the UGA / OK. State will probably the be the most fun game to watch because of Oklahoma State's no-huddle, spread offense. I did know that OK State scored many points per game last year, but playing at Athens? That's an automatic minus-35 to your points-per-game, unless your Tennessee.
"What do you think about playing easy games in the beginning of the season?" "Not so fast my friend!" What? Corso must have a quota on that phrase.
When ESPN is on commercial, ESPN2 is asking Herbstriet some more football questions. ESPN BRINGS YOU NONSTOP, ENDLESS, MOSTLY POINTLESS COVERAGE!
Mark Richt on the upcoming game against an opponant that averaged 200 yards passing AND 200 yards rushing per game: "I will say this: We ought to improve quite a bit as time goes on," Richt said. "Three or four games into the season I would think we would be a whole lot better." Way to inspire confidence there, guy.
