Random University of Georgia Stuff That I Wouldn't Care About If They Didn't Play Football, But Since They Do Have Football, Has Me Geeked
In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of our mascot, a white English bulldogs known as "UGA," UGA (the university) is selling t-shirts promoting "350 Dog Years of Excellence." This is also the mascot that has his own documentary, attended the Heisman Trophy ceremonies, and has each incarnation (we're currently on UGA VI) buried within the confines of Sanford Stadium.
I know I've mentioned this story to at least one of you, and I'm sure nothing is more boring than having to hear a college women's gymnastics story twice, so I apologize. Keep in mind, however, that these same NCAA women's gymnastics finals got better ratings than the playoffs for the fourth of the "Big Four", Dave. UGA's gymnastics coach (I promise I don't know her name) decided to schedule every other team in the preseason top-ten poll. Then proceeded to run the table, and win the National Championship unblemished. This is the programs fourth undefeated season. No other team has ever done it once, and 27 of its 36 wins were against teams that spent at least one week in the top ten. Can you imagine this happening in college football or basketball? I've got to think that the three gymnastics fans in the nation will never stop talking about it. Keep in mind, that it only took three to out-do one of the "Big Four." Hey, Dave, since gymnastics is actually a sport (as opposed to NASCAR), and the ratings for its "playoffs" topped the NHL's, is this considered a changing of the guard?

I'm positive that there is a direct corrolation between the downfall of Hockey in America, and resurrgence of women's gymnastics in Georgia. For your sake, we'll blame it on Carolina. And we'll also blame it on NASCAR "south". Which still races a minimum of two races in your state.
