You know it's going to be a good day when someone sends you a semi-subtle gay joke pictorial to kick it off.
Thank you Fake TT...you've started my day on a high note.

...oh, Matthew
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Matthew Stafford. I thought he was a great talent for Georgia and if Detroit can be a little more Ford and a little less Chrysler then perhaps he'll get a decent career outta the Lions.
That being said, it pains me to see him pushing AXE products.
Though I can see how advertising this stuff makes Middle School boys (who have no concept of smell radius) want to bathe in the stuff...but I like to think most grown men file this between "gold necklaces" and "Ed Hardy tshirts" in the category of Stuff Real Men Don't Actually Wear.
The product has more life in satire than shelf.
Matthew, if it makes you money by all means go for it...but we all know you don't need it. You don't have to smell like a middle school boy's locker room to get women. We saw your performance against Cleveland, and we know you're a man.
Of course, this is coming from a guy with a receding hairline and a 5 year marriage. Perhaps my idea of manhood falls more within the bounds of hard work and being a good husband, but there is something to be said for sewing your wild oats in your early 20's. More power to you. Have fun, kids.

Da'Rick Rogers, Volunteer.
From what we are all hearing, Da'Rick Rogers switched commitments from UGA to Tennessee.
Does it suck to lose a great WR prospect? Yes.
Does it suck to lose him to a conference rival? Yes.
Does it suck that said rival is Tennessee? Abso-frickin'-lutely.
But you know what sucks even more? Having a bunch of Georgia fans (the term "fan" used loosely) harassing the kid for his decision via Twitter, Facebook, etc...
We wanted him, we didn't get him, water under the bridge. You burn furniture when your head coach skips town, not when a 17 year old boy doesn't want to be on your football team.
Da'Rick doesn't have to worry about sports writers, UGA bloggers, or Georgia fans in general...and he sure as hell doesn't have to worry about what douchebags like Jeffrey Johnson think of him.
The only people Da'Rick Rogers has to worry about crossing paths with are this guy now...
...and this guy later.
Save your worries for the Fall. Tomorrow is about celebrating who wants to be a part of our program. Good luck to the kids signing with their respective teams tomorrow, and may the best team win.
Go Dawgs!

Jeff Whitaker Announcing Today
I know Signing Day is a couple days away, but unless I'm mistaken, Warner-Robins' defensive lineman Jeff Whitaker will be announcing his decision today.
Apparently this kid could be the future of CTG's D-Line at nose tackle. We're in the running with OurBarn and Miami, but I see this as being the first big splash for our defense and a recruiting victory for Grantham if he chooses UGA.
Here's his bio per Rivals...
Why I like our chances:
I like the placement of the "official visit", we came after Auburn, and before Miami. That puts forward the perfect scenario of going from Auburn (beyond Thunderdome) to Athens (indoor plumbing + electricity + 5 Star Day Cafe) to Miami (rampant gun-violence and Scarface scenarios).
Plus the kids from in-state and appears to have a good head on his shoulders.
Why he might not sign:
Per David Hale's post, Mr. Whitaker is quoted as saying:
...of course this was made last week and he might not have been trying to appear biased one way or the other. I like the kid, I want him as a Dawg and whomever he signs with will have a heckuva player.
UPDATE:
AJC is reporting a 2PM announcement. They are assuming he's leaning Auburn...we'll see.

"The thing I tell people all the time is that Georgia will be great with me or without me. It’s a great football program, and they have a great coaching staff."

...no Georgia, I will not quit blogging and come play defense for you.
Per Paul Westerdawg's twitter account:
"Robey is ~5'7" and 160 lbs. Smaller than Mikey Henderson. The idea that he'd play defense for us was idiotic. Problem solved."
This is regarding the statement from Frostproof High School's AD that Nickell Robey probably ain't coming to Georgia.
Though the article puts Robey at 5'8" 175 lbs, I'm more inclined to believe these details are inflated a bit and Paul is closer to being right. Why do I feel the need to post about this? Well, if Mr. Westerdawg is correct UGA just lost a DEFENSIVE RECRUIT of Willie Martinez which weighs as much as I do AND is 9" shorter than me!
Care to visually put this into perspective?
A (presumably) faster, shorter, and less patriotic version of this character would have been running around in your secondary next year.
THANK YOU, COACH GRANTHAM...THANK YOU!
UPDATE...yes, that quickly.
Ally states Robey is saying his coach is wrong and might still honor his verbal to Georgia. That being said, I'm keeping the picture up because I like the way the running shorts accentuate my leg-definition (or lack there-of).

Inflatable Mascots
So I got a few comments on Twitter last night regarding my hatred of Spike, the inflatable Georgia mascot at the basketball games.
I'm sorry Dawgs, but if you can't accept that inflatable mascots are incredibly creepy you're fooling yourself. Their blank, cartoonish expressions make me feel like I'm trapped a strange 1950's sports-themed nightmare.
Plus, it was just a matter of time before Cornhusker photoshopped this so I figured I would beat them to the punch.
Good mascots? No. Good Christmas lawn deco? Yes.
