Georgia Tech / Virginia Tech Game Notes:
VT tried to hand the game to GT, GT would just hand the game right back. VT fumbled but GT doesn't pick it up so the VT QB ran it in for a TD. As bad a passer as Thomas was all game, Johnson kept calling pass plays and lucked into a game tying TD drive. Then another bad throw by VT's QB resulted in cornerback DJ White's interception (above).
GT left 10 points off the board - Thomas 80 yard TD run called back - a questionable call?
Butker misses an easy FG - can't get above 50% for the year. Most D1 schools can get a kicker who makes 75% of their FG's. When I have the time I will do a study of this. Butker's aunt taught Drew Kelly's son in kindergarden. Not sure how they relate to Kevin Bacon.
Penalties penalties penalties - holding and other dumb penalties. VT should have been able to win this game. At least GT has a good punter this year.
Any Tech fan who thinks GT can beat UGA is delusional.
Worked til 6:50 Friday night. Caught up a little bit, but mostly I was helping my coworker dig out of his mess. One land mine after another. Then I gassed up Will's jeep, cleaned out his trunk, stopped by Goodwill and Kroger. After 8 when I got home. Turned on the Braves, worked on the computer, and traded bobble heads. Stayed up late packaging ebay shipments.
Woke early Saturday and went to the state fair in Marietta. Cobb EMC annual meeting, which featured an opening prayer, God Bless America, and a speech from Governor Deal. The comments from the crowd were entertaining - a hippie Libertarian calling the event Republican. Came home and fell asleep during the Tech game.
Not sure if I got good deals or not. My recent deals...
Glavine for Sparky Anderson (ok)
Glavine for Willie Robertson (ok)
Glavine for Roy Halladay (ok)
Glavine and Cox for a really nice Gattis (ok)
Glavine for a young Brooklyn Dodger Tommy Lasorda (ok)
Glavine for PeeWee Reese pushing Roy Campanella (great)
Francoeur bobble for Cubs Maddux (great)
Andruw & Chipper statues for Brooklyn Dodger Babe Ruth (ok)
Andruw statue for Gattis (good)
Cox for Dodger Don Sutton (good)
Cox for Brewers Harvey Kuenn (good)
Chopper for the Brewers' Barrellman (good)
Maddux for Sandy Koufax (good)
Gwinnett Freeman for Ichiro (good)
My wish list: Don Zimmer, Tim Wakefield, Gil Hodges, Ernie Banks, Honus Wagner, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Star Wars themed baseball bobble heads, Mississippi Braves Gattis, Vegas Maddux, Gale Sayers, Fireman themed Zach Wheeler, Rick Monday saves the flag (thought I had a trade for a Glavine).
Of course, now I don't have many more to trade. Might be a good thing - shipping gets expensive!
