Hello, dawgs. 

I begin this fan post series as someone who has been a Georgia fan since the Ed Thilenius era; who obtained a law degree from UGA back in the day; and who has followed the Dawgs from a wide and wild variety of venues across the country during a couple decades of exile from my home state. 

This very year, I watched the Georgia Southern game from a sports bar in Denver; listened to the CMU game via GeorgiaDogs.com, was able to struggle through the South Cackalacki game amidst fellow Dawgs during a brief trip home to Georgia, and experienced the 'Bama disaster, dressed in black, at my current residence in central California.  

I spend much of my time as a political writer (and blogger), and my loyalties are betrayed by my handle, but I had to give up even occasional college football discussions on my current site, so here I am, shorn of any politics other than BCS lobbying. 

In posting here, I'll try to speak for the vast Bulldog Diaspora, people scattered around the globe who spend each autumn Saturday finding some way to follow the Dawgs, and wishing we were stuck in traffic going into Athens for a tailgate, and/or a lunch at Weaver D's.   I'm also a big fan of the Tall Dawgs, male and female, and understand it's especially hard to follow SEC basketball outside God's Country.  Last year I scouted out a bar in Monterey that was showing the SEC tournament, split a big order of food and drink with a Kentucky fan, and then watched the sky fall on the Georgia Dome.
