“I’d say,” Barnes guessed, “that you probably have a discreet tattoo of Coach Bowden somewhere on a part of your anatomy you won’t show anybody.”
- College Football News is laying out its predictions for the 50 biggest games of the ’07 season. So far, they like Georgia to beat Tech and Tennessee, but see the Dawgs falling in the opener.
And as you enjoy the day, please ponder something that Benjamin Franklin once said.
