Losersville, USA?

As Athens native band.....R.E.M. put it: "Everybody hurts....sometimes."

But.........All at once? Together?

On the same week-end?

What the hell is going on here?

First .....the University of Georgia....loses to boarder rival, South Carolina. The Bulldogs put up 42 points only to see the Gamecocks put up 45!

South Carolina takes advantage of turnovers to beat Georgia in thriller

ATHENS -- As the staff and players of the Georgia football team walked slowly off the field Saturday night, about half the fans above the locker room tunnel stood. Then they did something few Bulldogs fans did last week: They applauded their team.

Then the Atlanta Braves get swept by the Saint Louis Cardinals......3 games to none....and suddenly the 10 game wild card lead is down to 4 1/2!

Braves swept again, wild-card lead to 4-1/2

And while the Bulldogs and the Braves did manage to put on a competitive effort.....the same cannot be said for the Atlanta Falcons.

Consider this: After finishing last season at 13-3......Counting the embarrassing play-off lost to Green Bay....4 pre-season games.....and yesterdays debacle against the Bears....

This team has lost 6 straight!

Falcons suffer unbearable loss at Chicago, 30-12

CHICAGO - In the rare times when it appeared the Atlanta Falcons might get on track in the season opener Sunday, they were hampered by their own mistakes. read more

Yes......it is but one week-end.

But oh what a bad taste it left.

Losersville?

Well.....there ain't a whole lot of winning around here....lately.

Keep ...Hope...Alive!

Interesting........being a Georgia Bulldog fan lately.

The football "Dawgs"......underachieved. The "Gym Dogs" of gymnastics.....are not what they used to be. The baseball "Diamond Dogs" have hit hard times.

So.......

Bring on the Georgia basketball team....the men.

With a record of 20-10.......UGA tries to get into the NCAA Tournament.....for only the 11th time in school history.

Can it be?

Will it be?

Today......was at least a start.

From the Athens Banner Herald:

Running out of.......Uga's?

Recently.....It seems the University of Georgia is responsible for more dog deaths......than...

Dare I say? Dare I say?

Michael Vick?

Another Georgia mascot .....an English bulldog (Uga VIII) ....has died. He succeeded Uga VII.....who died last year.

I'm surprised the PETA people haven't gotten involved.

These bulldogs were fat and overweight......didn't exercise.....and appeared to lay around all day awaiting for "picture day".

Lets hope......Uga IX.......is slim and trim.....in shape......and active.

From the Athens Banner Herald:

Big Bad Bruce walks across the field after the ceremony that officially made him as UGA VIII at halftime of this fall�s homecoming game for the Georgia Bulldogs on Oct. 16. UGA VIII died today of lymphoma. (David Manning/Staff/david.manning@onlineathens.com)

We're blanketed with 10 inches of snow. Nobody's moving. Time...has stood still.

This is the deep south.......it's 27 degrees.... Whatever happened to "Global Warming"?

The only cars passing by.......are the monster trucks ....these "rednecks" drive.

Still....today ........being Monday........we're smarter.

What we learned:

Sir Charles.......still knows how to "tell it like it is":

All About the ..."Benjamins"

More hypocrisy......from the men in suits....who run these colleges and the NCAA.
