Georgia Bulldogs (Slightly Premature) Saturday Summary: Women's Tennis Falls, But Track Team and Cheerleaders Shine

You’ve already been brought up to date regarding Georgia’s Friday evening wins over Kentucky in softball, Florida in men’s tennis, and Ole Miss in baseball, but there is more news than this in Bulldog Nation, which I hereby encapsulate for easy digestion in this slightly premature edition of the Saturday summary:

That ought to get you up to speed just in time to call it a night. You’ll want to get plenty of sleep before facing a Saturday that will see University of Georgia student-athletes engaged in intercollegiate competition in baseball, track, softball, and women’s soccer.

Go ‘Dawgs!

Momma Vineyarddawg happened to be in Daytona to watch the qualifying rounds for cheerleading on Wednesday.

She met the team randomly near the venue at which they were participating and actually bought a ticket and sat for 3 hours and watched a cheerleading competition so she could see them. Now that’s dedication to your school.

Congratulations to the Cheer Dawgs (Can we call them that? I’m calling them that.) on a job well done! Florida was in the cheer competition as well, so at least it can be said that two out of three Georgia teams beat Florida today! It was a good day!

(I hate Florida.)

Looks like today is a "pink out" for breast cancer awareness.

I’m not going to go all FTRS and post by myself, but if anyone else is watching and wants to comment in-game as well, I’ll participate!

Aw, you.

You always know just what to say to cheer me up.

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

ha!

Did you see the look on Kentucky’s third baseperson when she tossed the ball back to the pitcher after Sandberg’s 2 RBI double? She ain’t happy.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 2:28 PM EDT reply actions  

It's great seeing an opponent get mad.

That’s usually good for us. :-)

After just one inning, the score is already 4-2 Georgia.

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 2:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

What is the etiquette on that, incidentally?

I try to respect the curious conventions of the sport (e.g., “designated player” rather than “designated hitter”), but I use, z.B., “third baseman” even in softball, figuring it’s gender-neutral in context (i.e., there were female chairmen for years before the ungainly formulation “chairperson” became de rigueur), particularly now that the strictures of political correctness appear to have relaxed somewhat since their awful apogee in the early ’90s. Does the PA announcer in Jack Turner Stadium introduce players as “third baseperson”? If so, I will observe the accepted practice, however awkward I find it.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Apr 9, 2011 2:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

I assume they are basemen.

I was going for humor. Most of the softball humor around my house is not suitable for publication.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 2:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Something approaching an example:

R is watching the Braves in the bedroom and just texted me, “[NCT] is a _ __: he braids the other players’ hair at the motel.”

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 2:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

And of course, during the broadcast...

… the announcers find a way to mention Fresno State. Even in softball.

GRRRRRRRRRR

Ooh.

That was my first UGA ESPNU logo sighting.

We're glad we could be there . . .

. . . for this special moment in your life! :)

I won't be here too much longer.

I’ve got a project to, um, finish.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

by finish do you mean

start working on? Inquiring minds….

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 2:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

I mean finish.

Whether you infer that I meant to exclusio the alterius of whether I’d begun just because I expressio’d only the unius that I need to finish is completely up to you.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 2:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sorry. That might have been a bit opaque for a general audience.

Expressio unius est exclusio alterius: The expression of one thing excludes all others. It’s a statutory construction thing when you’re trying to figure out legislative intent. If a statute states that “certain equipment is required on pick-up trucks”, one may assume that the equipment is not required on sedans. To put it grossly. If the legislature had wanted to include other vehicles, it would have said so. Something like that.

lol i got it

(i was away making popcorn) – I was just teasin ya :)

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ok.

I apologize if the explanation came off as condescending: that was not my intent. It just happens as a naturally occurring phenomenon when I talk or write. It’s a bug, but at my age, I’ve decided to pretend it’s a feature.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's ok, NCT.

I think you’re quite droll and clever.

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

it's all good

I didn’t get condescending – confusing lawyer speak maybe. I think my thought was “huh?” followed quickly by – “oh yeah – lawyer talk…….”
I like features vs. bugs. One of my particular features is propensity to do things most people won’t – good, bad & indifferent………..My poor mother just rolls her eyes at me now. It’s a vast improvement from the “pretending she didn’t know me” days =)

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

See?

I suspected “bug versus feature” might be a little closer to your language. I’m not droll and clever enough to come up with quick digithead jokes.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 3:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

I should be

better than I am at lawyer speak, I dated one for quite some time….but we do tend to lose what we don’t use. Now I speak more engineer than lawyer. Engineers are evil.

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

"Engineers are evil."

I’ve just been contemplating that very fact today. But I’m kin to several.

As for lawyer speak, in my experience, most lawyers these days don’t dig up the old phrases as much as they once did, especially the Latin ones. I go out of my way to do so. Also, a lot of lawyer speak does not go over well in everyday conversation. I know from experience that saying “objection: non-responsive” gets one very close to being hit.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 3:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

lol

i’m a big fan of “asked & answered” and “badgering” as objections….But maybe that’s because I have “adult” children?

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

lol

“Asked and answered” is great for kids. And actually, so is an objection to a non-responsive answer, especially since the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination does not apply to children at home.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 3:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

well mine

are more likely to tell me MORE than I really wanted to know than less. If there is any chance a statement will cause me to gasp, or make my heart skip a beat in fear, at least one of my children will say it, guaranteed.

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm with you, . . .

. . . as evidenced by my frequent use of inter alia and vel non. I try to work in “pretermit” wherever I can, too, and I’m quick to work in an et ux. where applicable.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Apr 9, 2011 3:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm sorry you had to see that logo, too.

It’s truly awful. It looks like a cross between Geordi’s dog (if he were to have one) and a transporter accident from Star Trek:The Next Generation.

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 2:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

oh

that is truly truly awful……

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

If you'd like to see many of the other ESPNU school logos...

… there are a lot posted in this thread on EDSBS.

To sum up, though, everybody except Maryland has a better logo than us. (Except for the schools whose logo is essentially equal to ours.)

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

well it's obvious

ESPN hates us – I blame Lou & Urban for this.

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think it's not awful.

I like the dog dish. Nice touch.

dang lawyers

always gotta take the opposite point of view just to debate the point LOL

also

it’s like they teach you that stuff in lawyer school or osmething……

it was even worse

I’m in. I had planned to spend the day writing, but I completed that assignment late last night/early this morning.

Do I see

team issued sunglasses on our girls?

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 2:57 PM EDT reply actions  

That would be cool if the answer is yes.

Of course, it could also just be peer pressure at work. :-)

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 2:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

OUCH!

I just bit my tongue.

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Remember that peer pressure is only a bad thing . . .

. . . if you’ve made a poor choice of peers! :)

Go 'Dawgs!

I'm gonna go with

team-issued – cuz they all match way too well and besides, it makes me happy to think so :)

Don't look now, but I think

Baseball is about to come on SportSouth.

ahhhhhhhhhh

Ole Miss – I wanna go there, maybe this year. Wonder who I can drag along to this game?

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

Swayze field.

I wonder why they didn’t consider the Rebel Wolverines instead of Black Bears?

by NCT on Apr 9, 2011 3:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

LOL

well i dunno about wolverines, i do know lucasfilms would not license Admiral Ackbar tho……I did read a rumor that the bear thing had something to do with Teddy Roosevelt shooting a black bear in MS or some such obscure reference that has absolutely no true bearing on Ole Miss or football….

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

In addition to the Teddy Roosevelt connection, . . .

. . . the Ole Miss authorities made reference to William Faulkner’s “The Bear,” but that connection was underemphasized, in my opinion.

Of course, for my money, you can’t get enough Faulkner references.

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Apr 9, 2011 3:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agreed!

As an added bonus, we’re good at both sports!

(What channel is SportSouth on DirecTV?)

Go 'Dawgs!

by T Kyle King on Apr 9, 2011 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

well dang

I’m limited to softball. SportSouth is not on my directv plan.

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Fortunately, I have both, . . .

. . . but I’m keeping softball as my main game and baseball as my flipback, because I find televised Georgia baseball as nerve-wracking as televised Georgia football and (now) men’s basketball. I can enjoy other sports on TV, but my emotional investment in the game is not so extreme that I have to pace for, e.g., softball the way I would for “the big three.”

It occurs to me as I type this that I have never seen a Georgia gymnastics meet televised live; if I had, I suspect I would have referred to “the big four” (which has a certain symmetry with this game’s “triangle”/“rectangle” references).

Go 'Dawgs!

2-run Home run Kristin Sandberg! (no relation to Ryne)

Georgia is now up 6-2 in the bottom of the 3rd with 1 out.

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:05 PM EDT reply actions  

hmmm

no option to deliberately walk a hitter in college softball?

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:27 PM EDT reply actions  

I didn't understand that, either.

What, so they eject the pitcher if they issue a walk?

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

cancel that

did not realize we had a runner on 2nd & 3rd..

I can bake like a demon.

by podunkdawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

And on cue, the Cats come clawing back.

One run is in, and runners are at the corners with no outs in the top of the 6th.

6-3 is the current score.

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 3:57 PM EDT reply actions  

But seriously...

… if you’re ahead by 8 or more runs after the end of the 5th inning, the game is over.

by vineyarddawg on Apr 9, 2011 4:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

yep

and a big ole W for our girls!!!

Time to get ready for dancing tonight :)
