Wednesday Morning Dawg Bites: Once Every Four Years Edition

For those who find themselves in a bind on Leap Year, I offer up Olivia Wilde taking in a college basketball game with Jason Sudeikis. I couldn't crop both Sudeikis and the team's logos, so I kept him in the frame. He's funny, so he gets a pass, but anyway, Olivia Wilde! College sports! We know she ain't rooting for KU football, so let's reach out to Ms. Wilde and let her know how much UGA wants her support. Find her at @oliviawilde.

Good morning Dawg fans!

Dawg Bites are posted a little later this AM as a thumping of Clemson by the Women's Tennis team deserved some time for everyone to get the chance to read about it, but nevertheless, the Bites are here and they are some quite tasty morsels for your late-morning snack.

We begin today with a small public service announcement. Today is Leap Day, an event that adds an extra day in February, much to that chagrin of people who get paid on the 15th and last day of every month. It's a very special day in that there are a lot of people who thought today was a holiday, slept in, and are subsequently in a lot of trouble with their bosses at this very moment. For those poor unfortunate souls, I offer you this picture of Olivia Wilde taking in a college sporting event. She needs a real football team for which to root, so GET ON THIS, INTERNET.

Anyway, links and morsels after the jump...

Star-divide

We begin today with the Georgia Sports Blog doing what we like to see them do, find an extra productive way to use the Leap Day. Nice work, gentlemen.

I know there's a lot of cringing whenever someone mentions Mic[REDACTED] Carv[REDACTED] of the AJC, and so I thought this piece that Bernie wrote this morning would be appropriate. The photo in the posting says it all.

Gentry Estes over at Dawgs247 had this Morning Coffee segment up on Tuesday, but I wanted to point it out today because it's a good read. It focuses on how the recently turned Pro Dawgs did at the Combine. I really enjoyed this piece, but my favorite quote that he grabbed from NFL.com was this gem about Blair Walsh:

"Can consistently put the ball in the end zone on kickoffs and has been reliable enough that a team with a need may select him to keep him off the free agent market."

Somewhere Jon Fabris just yelled out "KAHHHHHHHHHHNNNN!" In related news: WHY DID THIS NEVER HAPPEN? ARE WE PREJUDICE AGAINST TOUCHBACKS? WE'LL NEVER HEAL UNLESS WE START TALKING ABOUT IT.

Anyway, it's a short list of links today because, well it's Leap Day and I have this party I need to attend. It's a special party and only certain people in certain situations are invited. They call this party "work" and it's a blast. If you're attending as well, then by all means, take as many five-hour energy shots as you can handle and let's kill that 2:30 PM feeling.

Until next time kids.

Be safe.

" It focuses on how the recently turned Pro Dawgs did at the Columbine"

You are correct...Thanks for the heads up.

With the recent unfortunate incident in Ohio, I wanted to make sure I fixed that ASAP.

After reading Bernie's piece on Carvell and the AJC...

…I believe I will have to reappraise my attitude toward them. Instead of lamenting their existence/tactics/resemblance to popular green ogres, I will from this day forth be grateful that they give the lowest common denominator of Dawg fans a place to vent so they stay the heck off my beloved blogs.

The NFL.com predictions on Cordy, Orson and Ben

seem preposterously low.

Sixth round for an outstanding 300+ pound center? Third round for Cordy Glenn, who SBN has going 21 overall? Third round and a “needs to put on size” for a 252 pound TE who was #7 overall in the bench press?

Is the writer a GT grad or something?

by Grib on Feb 29, 2012 5:22 PM EST reply actions  

Thats just nuts

All 4 of the NFL Network Mocks have Cordy in the 1st round (with 1 as high as #13 to the Cardinals). No way Ben falls to the sixth. If nothing else, I could see the Lions picking him up as an eventual replacement for Raiola in the 3rd or 4th… but he may well not be available by then either. IMO… Orson is going to be a great value for whatever team gets him and may be a steal depending on where he goes in the draft.

Mel Kiper has Cordy

as one of the big “winners” post combine and a solid mid first round

I HATE ORANGE, and DGNBs
