Georgia Bulldogs at Arkansas Razorbacks, Mar 11, 2010 10:00 PM EST
Settle in, Hoop Dogs fans; the last game of the 2009-2010 basketball season first game of the SEC tournament is upon us!
The SB Nation tournament preview is available to whet your appetite for roundball, although all-SEC first-teamer Trey Thompkins garners the Fox Hounds' only meaningful mention, which is fair, considering the won-lost record with which Georgia completed the regular season. For their part, Hog fans appear to have their doubts about the Razorbacks, as well.
Clearly, there are better days ahead for the Bulldogs, but it remains to be seen whether this is one of them. You are cordially invited to cheer on the Red and Black in the comments below.
Go 'Dawgs!

I hate furlough days...
I hate losing days to work with my students and I hate hate hate not getting paid (then again, who doesn’t).
But the man who scheduled one of ours for the day after Georgia plays a basketball game scheduled to start at approximately 10pm is a freakin’ genius. I don’t think the basketball schedule played a role, but I’m gonna give the man the benefit of the doubt and say this is why you want to work for a fellow alumnus.
Now if he could just schedule next year’s furloughs for bowl week, national signing day, and opening day for the Diamond Dawgs we’d be all set.
Go Dawgs!

I taught 8th grade science 1 year.
I’ve been undergoing electro shock therapy ever since. 8th graders should be put into a controlled coma until they are at least 10th graders.

I come from a family full of teachers . . .
. . . but I never made it past my student-teaching. I have all the respect in the world for people who can do it, but teaching truly is a vocation, a vocatio, a calling.
Go 'Dawgs!
It was the toughest, yet most rewarding year of my life
But I absolutely picked the wrong age group for a first year teacher. I, too, have all the respect in the world for career teachers.

The scary thing is I prefer 8th graders... By far my favorite.
6th grade is a little too full of wiping noses and fart noises for me. I taught 8th grade in the inner city out of college and thought it was awful. Now I want to go back. Between that and being a Georgia fan in a ESPN/Tebow world, I must truly be a glutton for punishment.

I had two gifted classes
two “normal” classes and 1 remedial class. It was really, really tough. I wish I had started out either 5th grade or maybe high school.

Yeah
It takes a special kind of psycho to like middle school. All the problems of elementary school with all the social ills of high school.
But, at the very least, I never get bored… which suits my short attention span.

I have a middle schooler and a high schooler
From the parent perspective I love middle school. I also taught 6th grade math and science a million years ago. I loved it, but unfortunately wasn’t certified and could only teach in private school. I teach adults now at our local tech school and they are not nearly as much fun.
Meanwhile . . .
. . . it’s 9:40, I’m ready to go to bed, and the game hasn’t even started!
I think we’re looking at an Ill-Informed Roundball Wrapup After I’ve Had Time to Sleep On It this time.
Go 'Dawgs!
I'm feelin' ya...
I was in Jupiter, FL all day with my family taking in a Cardinals spring training game…and am wiped out.
And don’t worry about the wrap up…you can either cut/paste the LSU game Wrap Up if we lose….or cut/paste the Florida one if we win. I have a feeling it’s going to go like that…
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."

Probably so
On the plus side, I just found the game on TV. I’ll be danged . . . watching a Georgia basketball game on television! Who’d have thought!
I honestly can’t remember watching a televised Georgia basketball game since the conference tournament championship game two years ago.

No self respecting UGA band
would ever, ever play Bon Jovi. They give music a bad name (my very strong opinion).
Rebuttals welcomed.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Yeah, but, if memory serves, the Redcoats did a Bon Jovi medley last year
I seem to recall considering taking my own life during “It’s My Life.” I opted against it because the irony was just too much for me.
Go 'Dawgs!
Not only is that bad music,
it’s Yankee music.
If the Redcoat band were to do a medley of the Allman’s, The Outlaws, Skynyrd, or any other Southern Rock act (even if it was Molly Hatchet, a pro-Florida band if there ever was one), I would embrace it with open arms and an open flask of bourbon.
Bon Jovi? They are a caracature of a rock ’n roll band.

Besides the obvious danger of injuries happening in such an exhibition
I’m surprised no one has tried to do this just simply to make more money by selling tickets and such. Maybe it just wouldn’t work the same.
Personally i think the threat of injuries wouldn’t be that much more likely to happen than and intersquad game. But i understand the hand-wringing over it.

I can't say for sure . . .
. . . but I certainly hope our defense would take it easier on our first-team quarterback than on someone else’s.
Don’t forget that we’ve had impassioned moments at G-Day when quarterbacks took off, threw shoulders, and got hit. You’d have to think there’d be more of that against a rival.

Watching the Hoop Dogs build up an early lead on anyone . . .

"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
That isn't sad . . .
. . . that’s communist.
“Stairway to Heaven” is the most overrated song ever, even more so than John Lennon’s “Imagine” (which really is communist). It’s plodding, ponderous, and dull, and, when it finally turns into an actual rock song at the end, it’s about eight seconds of rock after 20 minutes of suck.

the top 100 is based on “VH1 viewer votes online.”

"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
It's halftime and we both know we're losing, so why wait 'til later?
“Stairway to Heaven” sucks. People who were in high school in the ‘70s think it rocks because they all had meaningful party experiences set to that song, involving either drug usage or sexual breakthroughs. We’ve been told it’s a cool song and we’ve bought it.
Judged on it’s own merits, it’s dull, slow, and pretentious. It ought to be called “The Emperor’s New Song.”

Likewise, I think “Stairway to Heaven” would have kicked ass if it had begun with, “As we wind on down the road . . .” It’s too long a run for too short a slide for me, but your mileage may vary.

It's time to retire the Geico gecko
All Geico commercials should be the obnoxious guy from the movie with Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz asking rhetorical questions to the camera.
The Denny’s meat lovers chino guy can stay, though.
Go 'Dawgs!
I personally think we should replace him with Gordon Gekko.

It would be a good product tie-in for the sequel
Seriously, though, is this the worst sequel idea since “Highlander 2”?

Are they suggesting that guys from outside the South . . .
. . . are going to have trouble recruiting Atlanta?
I know there is such a thing as a native Atlantan, but there’s a pretty high transient population in a city that is a regional transportation hub. The idea that a guy from somewhere else can’t recruit at Georgia is asinine.
Go 'Dawgs!
They're on the SEC Network...
They possess all the idiocy of your typical ESPN broadcaster and manage to (somehow) stuff it all into a less talented package.

Yeah, the chocolate chip muffins at 11:30 . . .

I like the Regions SEC commercial
It’s probably because they mention naming your kids after coaches and my daughter received a monogrammed jacket with “ERK” sewn on it for her birthday.
Go 'Dawgs!
As if this game didn't start late enough......
….the refs have decided to call enuf fouls to make it as long a untelevised football game.
Seriously . . .
. . . is anyone keeping track of the number of mentions of the fact that Georgia blew a large lead on the Hogs?
Go 'Dawgs!
dear God, they mentioned it again.

Only thing i can tell so far is Trey and Leslie are a beast, but we are starting to get into late foul trouble.

All right, I am way tired . . .

I may not be long for this game, people. We are definitely looking at a Morning After the Night Before Ill-informed Roundball Wrapup this time.

poor thing….but we do know #2 is Back In Black, AC/DC and we have to wait for commercials to find out what #1 is.

uh,
3 sophomores, a 5th yr senior who didnt start at gardner web and a junior who replaces a senior who shouldnt have been starting. Our depth is three redshirts, a junior and that senior. All under a new system. I think that makes them all rookies! They’ll get it together, we gotta give em time. Has been frustrating all year though!

my parting shot:
Coach Mark Fox is the single finest head coach UGA has ever had in the basketball department. He wants to be here. He wants to improve. He cares. He wans to win. Give him a pay raise now. He is facing hugely difficult odds and rather than complain, he works.
Daman Evans needs too seriously realize someone that both has the ability, and the desire, to take an athelitic program to a place it hasnt been since Dominic.
