A cheap seats review of Georgia football’s blowout of South Carolina reveals a new tailgate game and a seemingly new Dawg quarterbac Walking around campus, I saw a few Gamecocks scattered here and there, wearing their finest in garnet and black.

I wrote this Sunday morning before watching Episode 7.10 - The Forecast. We've met some great characters in the Mad Men world, like Peggy, who transformed from the shy secretary to an independent woman and bold copywriter. And you can't forget Sally, who I first thought would become a mini- Betty, but we see her identifying with her …
I am a cynical romantic. I think celebrating Valentine's Day is ridiculous, because the person I love will know that everyday, and I don't have to show it. I am a sucker for romantic comedies, and cry every time James Garner tells Gena Rowland that they are indeed husband and wife. My heart leaps whenever …
For the same reason I despise Hallmark holidays when you are expected to profess your love, when you should do it everyday, I loathe New Years resolutions, because you shouldn't wait to make those resolutions; fulfill them when you think of it, whether it is January 1 or September 14.

Growing Up Different I am a sports fan in a family where my parents and brother have never been sports enthusiasts I wanted to be a sportswriter, a field that is largely dominated by men. I grew up in the Deep South, the first in my family born in the United States. My grandparents, parents, aunts …
For half of my life (since I was a freshman at The University of Georgia at the age of 18 - do the math) I have been a Bulldog. Unlike many of my friends, I was not born and bred a Bulldog, but I still bleed Red & Black. My home has touches of Athens, the …
I had the pleasure of visiting Austin a couple of weekends ago with my family for my cousin's graduation from UT Pharmacy School. After living in a college town for the past 12 years, I was curious to see this "college city" I had heard so much about. Since Austin is both the state capital …
