Every one is talking about the "play".......It happened last Saturday in the Georgia - Central Michigan game.
Knowshon Moreno had a run for the ages...........a play that will go down as one of the greatest to the "Bulldog Nation". A sure high-light ........A sure "Top 10" play on ESPN......
But a funny thing happened........You never got to see it on ESPN........They never showed that replay. After an outrage from Georgia fans, ESPN threw Fox Sports (the original broadcaster of the game) under the bus..........claiming Fox didn't include that particular play in the high-light feed.
Anyway........thanks to YouTube........we have for you here:
5 on Five went 3-2 in our Friday picks......against the spread.
The Atlanta Falcons looked like a contending football team.....But before we get excited, was it that the Detroit Lions are just terrible?
Knowshon Moreno (pictured).......is a special talent. Did you see him actually hurdle that defender form Central Michigan?
Serena Williams won the US Open........and is now ranked #1 in the world ........again.....Imagine if these ladies (the Williams sisters) ever took tennis seriously.
I think the University of Georgia now fully understands the meaning of "style" points.
Don't look now, but the Tampa Bay Rays maybe in for a monumental choke job. Their lead in the AL east is down to a game and a half over Boston.
What has happened to the Chicago Cubs? Losers of 7 out of their last 10....and limping into the post season.
Tom Brady.....lost for the season? Say it ain't so.....
The Chicago Bears sure put a hurtin' on those Peyton Manning led Colts........Go Lovie Smith!
Are you as happy as we are? The NFL is back!
Just some random thoughts.......from an interesting weekend.
In this southern college town, the University of Georgia open its 2008 campaign against the smaller intra-state team of Georgia Southern. Georgia Southern.......a team built from athletes not big enough, strong enough, fast enough.....to be recruited by UGA.
And then ........there is this gigantic "bulls eye"........as in the number 1 ranking in the nation these Bulldogs carry.
So.....the game was played.....according to script. Georgia ran out to a 38-0 lead........played the entire student body in the 2nd half......and beat the Eagles by a final score of 45-21.
Knowshon Moreno scored 3 touchdowns........Matthew Stafford threw for 2.....and true freshman, Caleb King rushed for 95 yards on only 12 carries.
Georgia, as expected played a rather "vanilla" defense........not wanting to show the rest of the SEC anything other than basic.....11 on 11.
Freshman, A. J. Green........the much hyped wide receiver........scored a pair of touchdowns. He may indeed be the real deal.
The negative? 11 penalties..........most of them against that young offensive line. Off sides.......holding.......But they did allow Stafford time to throw, and they created huge holes for the running backs.
Total offense? Georgia racked up 535 yards versus Georgia Southerns' 290.
Oh.......and Uga VII was introduced to the bulldog nation in a pre-game ceremony.
One side note..........Larry Munson, the legendary UGA broadcaster, who is what.....around 80 years old? Well, Mr. Munson was on..........didn't miss a beat. He sounded like the Munson of 10 to 20 years ago. He has had to recover from brain surgery ..........and will only call home games. Nice going, Larry. So .......this "scrimmage" was a success.....seems nobody important got hurt......UGA took care of business.......and they did not embarrass their colleagues from south Georgia.
