Kentucky Wildcats at Georgia Bulldogs Basketball Game Night Open Comment Thread

Kentucky Wildcats at Georgia Bulldogs, Mar 3, 2010 8:00 PM EST


There's a lot at stake in this evening's roundball outing. It's the Hoop Dogs' final home game of the year in a season in which Georgia has not lost to an SEC East opponent in Stegeman Coliseum. At 13-14, the Fox Hounds need this win if they are to have any shot at finishing the season with a winning record. Consecutive contests in the Classic City give the Bulldogs their best chance of notching two conference wins in a row. Finally, there needs to be payback for this.

Feel free to join in the fun as the Georgia Bulldogs host the Kentucky Wildcats in a critical contest in Athens. Dive in in the comments below. If we win, does Mark Fox get his face on a bottle of bourbon? Come to think of it, it's only bourbon if you make it in Kentucky, and I'm not sure it's a compliment to put a coach's face on a bottle with the words "sour mash" on it, so maybe we should go with a fine wine, instead. Ah, heck . . . just win, guys.

Go 'Dawgs!

A win would be sweet...

But even if we don’t, this team, unlike the last few years of the Felton era, has been a joy to watch. We’ve got some real talent and the future looks bright.

I’d sure as hell buy a bottle of Bourbon w/ Mark Fox on it. And it could be made here in good ole GA although there are no current Bourbon distilleries in the state. It just has to be 51% corn and aged in charred oak. There’s actually a really good Bourbon from Virginia that I like.

I’ve got a good feeling about this game. Hope I’m right.

Is that right?

I’m not going to tell you you’re wrong, because I don’t know for sure that you are, but my understanding was always that, if you made sour mash whiskey in Kentucky, it was bourbon, but that, if you made it anywhere else, it was sour mash whiskey . . . the same way a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France is champagne but a sparkling wine made anywhere else is a sparkling wine.

Is that not right?

Bourbon only comes from Kentucky, but the term has become somewhat generic over time

That's what I thought

I try to use these terms with precision . . . if you read a Jack Daniel’s label, it says sour mash whiskey rather than bourbon, because it’s made in Tennessee.

It's federal law

Just has to be 51% corn and aged in charred oak and meet a few other requirements. It’s a popular misconception.

Dawgs are looking pretty good so far.

Thanks for the clarification

I did not know that. What does Jack Daniel’s do differently, then, since the Lynchburg distillery clearly does not hold Old No. 7 out as a brand of bourbon?

A federal law, you say? I don’t care for the national government setting standards for our liquor. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms might be the most overtly anti-Southern arm of the national government . . . not to mention the fact that, you know, it’s a law enforcement agency designed to deal with three things that are legal, two of which are protected by specific Constitutional amendments.

Hey man...I'm with you on the Feds...

I’m in the booze business and you wouldn’t believe the convoluted and ridiculous laws and regulations we have to deal with…well actually, you’re a lawyer, so you would believe it. And you’re right about the ATF.

With Bourbon, it’s all about the aging in charred oak and the mash-bill which has to be at least 51% but is usually a good bit more. JD uses a different distillation method with the charcoal filtering.

There was a time when Indiana, Virginia, and many other states had thriving Bourbon distilleries. Unfortunately, more and more are going out of business due to lack of demand. And while there are dozens and dozens of Bourbons, there are only just a handful of distilleries. As time goes on, more and more labels will fade with younger customers going for vodka, rum, and specialty cocktails.

The Bourbon trail is a true American treasure and we can all help…one drink at a time.

As an aside, the same thing is happening with Canadian blends. At least one a year disappears. It’s a shame.

Thanks for the information. I feel smarter for having participated in this comment thread, and I feel guilty for having contributed only a reference to “D.C. Cab.”

Vodka, rum, and specialty cocktails? For crying out loud, why did we even bother winning the damn Cold War?

i dont care - bourbon should be from Kentucky )

On 4 May 1964, the United States Congress recognized Bourbon Whiskey as a “distinctive product of the United States.” The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 C.F.R. 5.22) state that bourbon must meet these requirements:

Bourbon must be made of a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.1
Bourbon must be distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume).
Bourbon must contain no caramel coloring (E-150)
Bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak aging barrels. 1
Bourbon may not be entered into the barrel at higher than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume).
Bourbon, like other whiskeys, may not be bottled at less than 80 proof (40% alcohol by volume.)
Bourbon which meets the above requirements and has been aged for a minimum of two years, may (but is not required to) be called Straight Bourbon.2
Bourbon aged for a period less than four years must be labeled with the duration of its aging.
If an age is stated on the label, it must be the age of the youngest whiskey in the bottle.

I would agree with you...

But there is a really nice Bourbon called “Virginia Gentleman.” It’s really good and it distilled in Virginia.

He's all right

He’s not hiking the Appalachian Trail or anything, but we’re kind of in a downtime with signing day behind us, spring practice only just about to start, and no NCAA tournament bid in sight for the Hoop Dogs.

He’s around, he’s all right, and he’ll be posting again shortly. Thanks for asking, though.

I saw people scalping tickets downtown today

I never thought I’d see the day where people were that excited about a UGA basketball game. Now, granted, a good bit of that is because its Kentucky, but still. It speaks volumes for how far and how quickly this program has risen from last season.

by SG Standard on Mar 3, 2010 7:42 PM EST reply actions  

To your larger point, though . . .

. . . people are willing to be patient and supportive when they see signs of progress, even if that does not translate immediately into wins. Tubby Smith’s first Georgia team had the same overall record and conference record as Hugh Durham’s last Georgia team, but fans (and the NCAA tournament selection committee) saw progress. Mark Richt’s first Georgia team had the same overall record as Jim Donnan’s last Georgia team, but the wins over Georgia Tech and (particularly) Tennessee offered clear indications of better days to come.

That’s what Mark Fox has meant to this program. I think the Bulldogs are going to lose tonight, but I think they’re going to play hard, keep it close, and build for the future.

why the surprise? How many back to back wins are there? I want to love them too, but at some point, you have to win two in a row.

whats really sad is we played UK better two months ago IN THEIR ARENA.

Like I said, I was on the train, even sold tickets to get on board, but right now, its a glimmer of hope, rather than a dose of reality.

I don't think anyone is surprised . . .

. . . just disappointed. This team is this close, but they can’t quite close the deal consistently . . . yet. For the first time in a long time the first time, I believe there’s a “yet.”

Go 'Dawgs!

Good Morning Gentlemen

I was just stopping by to wish you well for the way you played last night. I have decided not to after your remarks about our coach. You can drink that stuff if you like but just a little research will tell you that Cal was never mentioned in any investigation. As far as Memphis, the NCAA cleared the player lone before he went to Memphis. They will win the appeal! I think you hired a good man.

Thanks for stopping by...

You’ll notice I didn’t ever say I thought Calipari would get caught or be found to have committed any wrong doing. He’s way too good for that. In fact he’s a really good coach and a really good recruiter (of a certain type). I don’t personally have a problem with that — I just enjoy a little good natured ribbing at his expense (not that its working out particularly well). But seriously, ya’ll can’t really believe he’s squeaky clean can you?

We played like ass last night. Not sure why you would wish anyone well for that?

You and I both know that Calipari is a lying scumbag, and that your program will be on probation in a few years.

Look, everyone called Billy G. a lush for the last few years, but you probably defended him until he proved he could not win a championship, then, of course, you claimed that his drinking was affecting his job performance and he needed to go.

You are a UK fan, so you have to defend your coach. That’s the way sports are. Hell, some people still think that Tiger Woods and Michael Vick are good people, because they have great talents on a playing field.

Hmmm….Eddie Sutton, Billy G., Cal…lots of symmetry there.

It will be morally problematic for you in the future, but enjoy your season while it lasts.

Not Trolling... Just Eavesdropping

Very entertaining thread… but anything containing Sir Charles hits the funny bone. I like Rockhill Farms bourbon from Buffalo Trace distillery. As far as the Coach Cal comments… they don’t bother me so much… just feels good to be relevant enough again that people care enough to denigrate your coach. As for Ashley Judd… Georgia already has the all time best mascot with Uga. Hate to be comparing Ms. Judd to a canine… but I hear she can be a real *itch at times… so… I personally attribute our win on the gridiron to the fact that he wasn’t rallying the troops on the sideline… God rest his soul. Long live Uga VIII… Coach Fox will have UGA basketball competing with the football program very soon… good game last night.

Thanks for the comments

I really don’t know (or care) what Calipari’s past was, truthfully. I do know he’s a very good coach and recruiter whom the players really respond to. He was most gracious in his post game comments regarding Mark Fox, the Georgia players and the potential of Georgia basketball in general. This is something, as a long suffering Georgia basketball fan, that is very good to hear because we’ve had so many false starts in our hoops history. I think we may have struck absolute gold with our coach. If coach Fox can consistently do what no other coach in Georgia basketball history has every done – keep the best in-state kids home – the Kentucky/Georgia matchups will take on a whole new dimension every year. Who knows…maybe a few years down the road UGA/UK might be THE rivalry in the SEC East.
