The Thinking Bulldog is still putting this site together. Because if left to my own devices I’d probably do nothing but sit around and write all the time, blogging has always seemed to me the ultimate timewaster.
Now based out of Atlanta, I’m a lifelong Georgia basketball fan, own multiple degrees from the University (though I now have little use for the institution other than my beloved Dawgs), and have been attending Georgia football games for over 30 years. My earliest memory of Georgia football was attending the home opener against Pitt in 1975. Tony Dorsett ran over Georgia in a 19-9 win, and for the next 10 years I sat with Dad on South Side, Aisle 9, Row 48, Seats 3 and 4 for most games until heading over to the student section in 1985, where I spent 8 liquor-soaked seasons. My fondest memory of Dad’s seats was Dale Carver’s blocked punt against Clemson in the 1982 night game Labor Day weekend. The worst being the entire Wake Forest game in 1979. The last time Dad and I watched a football game from those seats was Mississippi State in 1989; I had taken the LSAT that morning at the Journalism building and met him at the seats. Taking the LSAT seemed like a good idea at the time, but it ended up causing me to become a lawyer, which was the biggest mistake I’ve made in my entire life.
But anyway, now things have come full circle as they do, and now I am a season ticket holder on the South side and took my own boy to his first game against Northwestern State in 2002. Mrs. Thinking Bulldog usually accompanies me when he does not.
As the prolific T. Kyle King has pointed out, and as any thinking bulldog knows, these are the Glory Days of Georgia football. So I thought I might put in my two cents on the subject, college football in general, and other stuff of interest to probably only me.
