Being a sports fan can be painful
I attended the University of Georgia. I'm not the biggest football fan, but I do follow the games and carefully watch the scores.
Going into this season, I knew we didn't have a real good team...not a bad team, but a team with some obvious weaknesses. Our defense was adequate, but we lacked a proven quarterback and our offense was iffy.
Yesterday, we played the University of Tennessee and got beat 51-33. Everything about this game overthrew all my assumptions about the UGA team. Based on what I thought I knew, I guessed that if UGA was to win the game, the score would be something like 7-6 or 10-7, and if UT was to win, it would be by maybe 14-7 or 21-7.
Boy, was I wrong.

I've been an Oakland Raider fan ever since Jim Plunkett and Marcus Allen were on the team... and Im forever grateful for the Superbowl victory agains the Redskins in 1984..
Never have I felt such pain watching the team as I do this season.. Al Davis has finally snapped and he needs to be euthenized because we know he's still trying to coach that team from the owner's office. I never believed it when the Raiders coaches would say that he never did...
In any event.. after seeing tonite's debauchle...and the team becoming 0-5.. I can just hope the team bounces back in some way and maybe burn Al Davis.. not in effigy.. but in person.

I know people there don't act like that. I actually went to The Lady & Sons several years ago on a school trip, and i don't remember her being that loud,etc back then. Of course this was way before she became a Food Network personality. I think she overdoes it now.
She did look cute in that Georgia Jersey though.

Okay, check this out. Last night I was out having dinner with friends (we were actually eating before going to a high school football game). One of the women said, "What's happened to your Dogs (UGA)?" I told her that I was pretty sure that UGA would not win another game this season.
So what happens? UGA goes down to Auburn (a very good team) and wins with ease. I can't explain it. Sure, I'm as happy as a pig in slop, but I can't explain it.
