Tip off -
I don’t know why, but I got the game on in HD on a local Kansas channel.
And – surprisingly, the entire center court seating is empty.

Man, I wish I could've been in Athens today.
Men’s tennis match against Clemson at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, then home men’s basketball game.

Did the rain make it to Athens?
It was a deluge around these parts, but I hadn’t been near a TV or a computer all day until about 15 minutes ago, so I’m behind on the news.

Thanks.
Somehow, they got the match in, though; I just looked it up, and Georgia won, 5-0. I’ll leave it to NCT to share the details later.

We've got nice indoor courts...
had to be moved across the complex to inside.

So is behind our bench
rough start. My big fear about KCP is Sundiata Gaines part 2. An amazing talent, and one of the best we’ve ever had, without the complimentary players around them to let them show the country how good they are.

ought to implement some sort of policy where if you're tickets aren't scanned for half the games
you lose your seats

I been saying that since Coach Fox got to Athens.
If you can’t make a Sat afternoon SEC game, when exactly are you going to attend? I don’t care if they donated 100k, they don’t deserve those seats. And showing up late isnt cool either.

I have been deployed most winters until last year and this - so I havent seen a lot of basketball until CMF.

"The ball ain't heavy." Herschel Walker
Understood
was simply saying is all. This issue dates back as long as I can remember. The only times I can’t recall it being an issue are Tubby’s second (and final) season, and Harrick’s final season, maybe his last 2 seasons.
http://sportsandgrits.com/
Roger that. I know I say it every single game, but I can't help it. It drives me nuts.
Why are you buying seats and not going? I mean, just dont buy the seats. You can still donate. Grrr. Give the tickets to someone. Use craiglist or something – do something. There are a LOT of people that would die to have those seats for just a game. Give them to big brother/big sister. Something.

I wish we'd set up a program where they could go to ...
kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs locally who’ve done well in school, etc and earned them.

UGA sporting the ugly grey uniform. I keep looking at the wrong team.
Editor, "Dawgsports"
"The ball ain't heavy." Herschel Walker
Yeah, it took me a second, as well.
I like the silver uniforms. It was a cool move by Mark Fox to break them out for the home game right after national signing day last year.

They need to be shinier - more silver. Less grey.

An aside...
I’m glad someone told Djurisic to start wearing undershirts. He has some nasty bacne.

That must have been an awkward conversation.
I remember when I was deployed in Dec 2002, right before we re invaded Iraq, and I worked with this Greek guy as part of our “coalition”. It was all I could do to not ask him to take a shower more often.

In a questionable move
It appears that the football coaches, Richt, Grantham, Garner, and Bobo, are here with some recruits. Unless I was a 2 sport athlete, a UGA basketball game wouldn’t do much to sell me on attending the University of Georgia.

That's some good color right there.
And at some point, I am going to post “Top 10 reasons you should like UGA round ball” and that is going to be number 1. Basketball helps football. UF’s championships in two sports at similar times aren’t coincidence.
And it’s sad we are showing recruits an empty arena in SEC play.

Fox has seemed perpetually pissed at this team...
it’ll be interesting to see if that anger results in changes this summer.

Yea, I noticed that too. The silent anger. A game a few weeks ago, he didnt take off his coat, he just stood there with his arms crossed.

if you have to ask, then the NCAA would say yes

So if butt-dialing is a violation,
then the odds are good that butt-kissing would be as well.

If I played UGA - I would tell everyone to dribble drive straight down the key every time.
This points in the paint differential is just maddening.

23 points in a half. I have nothing good to say. That was pathetic.

Trying to relax on a cold afternoon in Omaha watching the Dogs...
…think I will go outside for the second half and just watch the snow clouds gathering….might be more interesting…did we get any offensive rebounds in the first half?

I think Mark Fox has a good understand of UGA culture
We’re a football school, and we always will be. I just want a reason to care about the basketball team. I understand that the team lost a lot in Thompkins and Leslie, but this team isn’t even going out and competing right now, and I think that’s all we really want out of our basketball team.

starts at the top
McGarity can only change so much with the same people in place below him that were here for the last few years of Vince and Damon’s run. Need to overhaul the majority of the AD
DFA Heyward. I'm dead serious
by wpf3211 on Aug 6, 2011 9:11 PM EDT
If you follow me, you know how much I have harped on the "UGA letterman club" that has had too much power and influence in the AD.
I am all for some house cleaning and I am still not happy about some of the chair shuffling versus going and getting guys. In all areas. Landers is past his prime, Clark doesnt have it, Fox needs some help. The one change McGarity could make without booster friction he made right away with Coach Stemke. So you are spot on in my opinion.

What's this East-West Shrine game?
I heard it’s only for seniors. Is Brandon Boykin playing in it?
"Tim Tebow isn't a quarterback, he's a tight end lining up in the wildcat." -Daniel Tosh
And neither Butler nor Boykin. Were these players given optional invitations?
"Tim Tebow isn't a quarterback, he's a tight end lining up in the wildcat." -Daniel Tosh
A lot of guys probably were.
I think these post-season bowls are often like the Pro Bowl in that the best guys often don’t play in them because they don’t feel the need.

Boykin, Butler, Cordy Glenn, and Ben Jones are all playing in the Senior Bowl

I suppose I should've added,
“…or are already playing in a more prestigious post-season bowl.”

It's either that, or just straight jack up a 3 with 30 seconds on the clock.

Nor the Toffees from across the park.
Only the mocking laugh of an almighty god who hates everything in Merseyside kept the Blues from getting 3 points against Blackburn today. Had to settle for 1, but the score should have been 5-1, at least.
