- Let's start with Kyle King launching a one man mission to have Erk Russell nominated for the college football Hall of Fame. Given that Kyle is now a member of the National Football Foundation, this isn't an unreasonable start to the process.
- Georgia inked an 8 year $92.8 million marketing and media rights deal with ISP Sports. Marc Weiszer wrote the only piece I've seen that really explains what the deal means to the fans. Here's the part that interested me:"Georgia will have a new media department of six to eight people that will ramp up the Bulldogs' Internet offerings at a redesigned georgiadogs.com. They will be employed by ISP.
Fans "will see more robust content to be delivered via non-traditional mechanisms, whether that be through the Web or wireless and handheld devices. ... and mediums that schools are just starting to reach into the realm of," said Alan Thomas, Georgia's associate athletic director for external affairs."
- RollBamaRoll has the best photo caption dealing with Bill Curry's return to Tuscaloosa in 2010 as Georgia State Coach. That game will be the biggest mismatch since Mike Tyson fought Robin Givens. As my buddy TheHootersWhisperer points out, "BillCurryFliesCoach.com" is available as a great GSU blog name.
- The 2010-2014 men's and women's SEC basketball tournament sites have been announced. The Georgia Dome will host two of the next five for the men, and the Gwinnett Arena will host three of the next five for the women.
- The Dawgs helped out at Camp Sunshine recently. Here are some great pics of our players working and playing with the kids.
- And according to the photo on AJC.com/sports page, it appears that Evil Dick from Big Brother 8 has a younger sibling, and he is now the GM of the Falcons.

Bama's '10 OOC schedule is awesome. SJS is boring, yeah, but you've got JoePa and Bill Curry coming to Tuscaloosa, and a ridiculous road trip to freakin Duke.
DN,
They'll end up playing Duke at the Georgia Dome as Duke's road game.
PWD
Bama fans need to review their own history. Curry went 26-10 and won an SEC title. His "sin" was not beating Auburn in 3 tries and having the audacity to want to hire and fire his own staff. Had Curry been one of Bear's "boys", he would have been a god.
The lame comment from the blogger is idiotic.
As a person with a master's degree from Georgia State, I wish coach Curry well. Not an enviable task starting a program from scratch.
Hopefully this means we can get rid of those shitty livestats/gametrackers we use for baseball, softball and basketball!
(and my word verification word is "nomole")
Unfortunately, the link is now dead (we had it linked from our site at the time of publication), but there was an article in the News-Observer (Raleigh) from December 2008 that had quotes from Cutcliffe and/or Duke's AD saying the game would be played at Wallace Wade Stadium. They were saying something to the effect that they need to stop selling the fans and the team out for a cash grab and start playing the marquee games at home when they can land them.
I guess I had the date of publication wrong, but here's something from the Times-Observer with those quotes from the Duke AD.
Georgia State in their first year of football?!? Seriously, was a School for the Deaf not available?
yeah i can't believe GA state is in their first year of football..crazy. I can't wait for the season to begin! I heard Herschel Walker is playing in the legends sports challenge soon...at least I have that to look forward to also. go dawgs!
