I tried. I really did. I labored exceptionally hard to think of an appropriate pregame cocktail for this game against the Tennessee Tech . . .

{Stops. Looks down at notes] . . .

Golden Eagles. My home wet bar looks like Dr. Frankenstein and 'Lil Wayne opened a bartending school. So many wacky experiments in potent potables and wordplay. All for nothing. The Washaun Ale-y didn't quite work. The Rumtavious Wooten seemed a little derivative.The Vodka Martinez (shaken, not stirred) was only really appropriate if it was set on fire like the UGA defense, which seemed a tad dangerous. Like dropping 8 into coverage on 3rd down against Florida and watching Tim Tebow run unmolested down the field. Not that I'm holding any sort of grudge.

So we're going open bar. Feel free to leave your beverage choices for the day in the comments, along with your nonbeverage plans for the day. I'm going with Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale, but you should feel free to go with the early kickoff, Homecoming game beverage of your choice. I'll be back tomorrow with something preview-like. Until then . . .

Go 'Dawgs!!!
