Falcons, Dawgs, & Jackets Talk

A lot bothered me about the MNF game last night...like when they got down near the goal line, for starters. I thought they ran the ball ok, but the whole game it seemed to be 3 and out. Everyone says the receivers are bad, and I guess they're right. I'd rather have Duckett backing up Dunn than that Lelie guy from Denver...at least he caught one pass.

And I love Morten Andersen, but his time may have passed. I mean, he's my age! Like the Braves would've done better had they gotten a good closer to begin the year, same with the Falcons kicker. But Morten should improve once he gets his timing down a bit. But kicking is the least of their problems.

What happened to the Falcons is what happened to UGA last week, and will happen to GT this week. As Richt said after squeaking by Colorado 14-13..."the players hear their families and the media telling them how good they are" and get the big head and not play as hard, and lose. No way GT beats Va Tech for that reason, even with two key VT starters out. Too bad, as it looks like Clemson, FSU, and Miami look beatable thisyear...Tech could go into the UGA game with one loss. I could see those 18 year olds on the flats think they're something after winning 3 straight, forgetting that it was Samford, Troy, and UVA.

What did you think about the GT throwback uniforms last week? You know I loved them.

Just when we get over Jenny Ewing's death, Ceil's good friend's 11 year old son goes to school healthy and basically has a stroke. Yesterday he had brain surgery at Piedmont, with a 10% chance of not surviving. The surgery went as good as it could've, so hopefully he'll recover 100%. His dad is the one that works for Turner, composing music. He's won two Emmys, one for last year's Travis Tritt Turner South Braves commercial. He also did the current Braves commercial with M C Hammer, Dale Murphy, Sid Bream, and Phil Niekro.

We've been to Johnson Ferry the last two weeks...even went to the same Sunday School class twice.
