Last night, I went to see The Wizard of Oz at the Fox. I figured, what can go wrong? I was going to one of my favorite venues to see a play based on one of my favorite childhood books and movies. I still remember which corner of H. Grady Bradshaw Library the L. Frank …
Born to Love
As humans, we consider ourselves among the most intelligent species on earth, capable of using our brains for far more than other creatures (so we like to think). Like many other species, we are capable of love, but we are also capable of hate. It makes me wonder if a Labrador retriever would hate a …
Mark Richt: Man vs Coach
Upon Mark Richt stepping down as Georgia’s head football coach, the Bulldog nation remembers a man that did just as much on the field as off it. I am forever grateful as a Bulldog that Mark Richt chose to come to Athens on December 26, 2000. I had just graduated from the University of Georgia as …
Cheap Seats: Defense saves Georgia Football’s Whatchamacallits
The Georgia football team was once again propelled to victory thanks to the play of their shutdown defense. The defense saved our Watchamacallits! My seatmate for the game, Chris Haddock, predicted a score of 6-3, and he wasn’t far off. I trust his opinion. He is a doctor, after all. The defense was the MVP …

Cheap Seats: Georgia Football takes lead, 56-55-8
The Georgia football team finished off Auburn on the road thanks to their stout defense and the play of Isaiah McKenzie. For the first time since 2002, when I was too poor to afford away game tickets, I did not attend the Auburn game in person. Once again, it is because I am too poor. …

Cheap Seats: Georgia Football scores TDs, win vs Kentucky
The rain continued to pour down on another Georgia football game, but the Dawgs flipped the script in a win against Kentucky. To my knowledge, this has been the rainiest football season, and definitely the rainiest since my first game in 1998. Perhaps the first game of the year being called because of lightning should …

Go See Spotlight
I attended a screening of the movie Spotlight last week. When it comes out Friday, please go see it. It's not a smash bang Bond or Jurassic Park or a superhero action flick, but you could argue that the real life Boston Globe reporters the movie is based on were superheroes for uncovering and stopping an …
Cheap Seats: Georgia Football Hangover at WLOCP
The downward spiral of the Georgia football offense and season continued in an underwhelming performance against rival Florida. I did something for the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party that I’ve never done this year. Hell, I had never done this for any WLOCP. I stayed at home and watched alone. I figured if Richt …

Cheap Seats: Apologies If You Watched Georgia Football vs. Missouri
Georgia football fans showed up for homecoming Saturday and a soccer match broke out. This game was all about throwback. The score, my location… I thought it fitting that I spent two hours at Arlington Cemetery pregame. I found myself back in Washington DC where I lived right after I graduated from UGA. Four months …

Cheap Seats View of a Georgia Football Rocky Top Heartbreak
Knoxville became heart break city on many levels for the Georgia football team Saturday. Our season slipped through the SEC East standings like the ball going through Reggie Davis‘ hands on 3rd and 9. Whatever disease Tennessee has to give up big leads, we caught it in Knoxville. For this game, I met some friends …
