Georgia Bulldogs Football Recruiting to be Discussed on ESPN Radio Tonight
National Signing Day is almost upon us, which means it is time to shift gears away from our transition to "basketball school" status and get back to focusing on football recruiting. Toward that end, I am scheduled to call in to John Frary’s ESPN Radio program on AM 1420 out of St. Augustine during the 7:11 commercial break this evening. If you’re in the area, please tune in to the broadcast, and, if you’re not in the area, please visit the station’s website at the appointed hour and click "Listen Live."
While you’re waiting to see how many recruits’ names I mispronounce tonight, please enjoy the following recent Twitter exchange with our good friend kleph:
kleph: just a heads up... the daily "i hate auburn" t-shirt tweets this week will feature pro-barner gear that is delightfully ironic. #ihateauburn
Dawg Sports: I love that I'm not the only one who uses the "I hate Auburn" hashtag! RT @kleph #IHateAuburn #IHatedAuburnWhenHatingAuburnWasntCool
kleph: @dawgsports oh yeah? we hate auburn so much we tried not hating them for 40 years just to piss them off even more. #myauburnhateisoldskool
Dawg Sports: @kleph Oh, yeah? We hate #Auburn so bad, it takes a world war or the death of a player during a game to keep us from playing! #IHateAuburn
Dawg Sports: @kleph Oh, yeah? We hate #Auburn so bad, we invented the phrase, "How 'bout them #Dawgs!" to insult their cheerleaders! #IHateAuburn
Dawg Sports: @kleph Oh, yeah? We hate #Auburn so bad, when we say we got hosed at Jordan-Hare, we mean we got hosed at Jordan-Hare! #IHateAuburn
Dawg Sports: @kleph Seriously, I'm prepared to call in sick to work and devote the day to explaining why I hate #Auburn. :) #IHateAuburn
kleph: @dawgsports i understand. i'm holding back from responding just because i know the amount of time i would invest in it. #ihateauburn
kleph: Your "I hate Auburn" t-shirt of the day: http://goo.gl/oSEne Georgia Bulldogs edition to honor the epic hate of @dawgsports #wehateauburn
Go ‘Dawgs!

I'm calling in just to ask you to weigh in on . . .
the Isaiah “Crow-ell” versus Isaiah “Crou-ell” debate that is dividing Bulldog Nation.
Agreed.
I tend to put the emphasis on the first syllable, not the second, but I know this goes against most southern linguistic tendencies. To me, though, it’s CROWell, not crowELL.

I'm conflicted...
When I just speak naturally, I tend to say CROW-uhl. Its probably CROW-ell. And all those damn yankees keep saying Crow-Well. Tom Luginbill uses the later, but he’s just an idiot. I don’t quite know what to think.
At least we can count on Thom Brennaman calling him Nomar.

And chastising Mark Richt ...
for running the ball with the lead. Everyone knows you start kneeling with 10 minutes left and a double digit lead.

MD...
you hearing anything about Jenkins visit to Gatorland?

Dave, I heard . . .
he said it was “really nice” or something similar. Which is the recruiting equivalent of saying “it’s not you, it’s me.” I think Florida got into the game on this one too late. That being said, if he does end up in Gainesville I may be inconsolable.
I'm just watching
a replay of the Arkansas game on ESPN Classic right now…which only reinforces the absolute need for this guy when analyzing how our defense struggled this year.
“really nice” sounds a helluva lot better than “really, really nice.” Color me encouraged.

While I agree with MaconDawg's take as a general proposition, . . .
. . . “really nice” doesn’t sound as good to me as “I broke their trophy with my ass.”
Go 'Dawgs!

I've had a rough few days recently...
… and I just simply can’t acknowledge the possibility right now that Florida may jump up at the last minute and snap one of our most prized recruits away. That reality can not exist in my universe. (Until Wednesday, at least.)
I hate Florida.

Nice work on "Nomar."
I find myself pronouncing “Crowell” as though it rhymed with “trowel,” although I have no idea whether that is correct. I hope to have the opportunity to learn the correct pronunciation next fall, however. (Also, given the precedents set by Tony Dorsett and Joe Theismann, I’m prepared to cut him some slack on changes in pronunciation, should he be so inclined.)
I’m particularly proud of the fact that I got to work in a Bubba Watson reference at the end of tonight’s radio appearance!
Go 'Dawgs!
For what it's worth...
…Ray Drew called him CROW-well (rhymes with “I knew him so well.”) during his “I call you out” commitment speech.
i can't tell you how crushed i am to learn

For what it's worth, . . .
. . . I have a Dell at the house and a MacBook at the office, and, with the stuff that I do (internet, e-mail, and word-processing), I have yet to discern a measurable difference between the two.
Go 'Dawgs!
Well, I hate Florida so bad that...
I would rather have 3 eyeballs, a baseball size zit on my neck, and bear traps on all of my limbs than lose to them in water polo.
You can imagine how I feel when they kick our ass in football every year.
