The well of inspiration must be pretty dry in Fayetteville if they’re excited about this as a rallying cry.
Admittedly, it’s not like they’ve got a wealth of opportunities to draw from.
“It was such a unique phrase it really just stood out amongst all the quotes (Petrino) has had throughout a season,” Pracht said.
Yeah, if there’s one thing I associate with Bobby Petrino, it’s memorable catch phrases.

“I think its a saying him and John L. Smith had when he was at Louisville. In other words, he didn’t show up to dick around and kick a field goal (in that situation), he was going to put the game away.”

Seriously, their Sugar Bowl bound team managed to squeeze one out against our first losing team in over a decade on two UGA self inflicted gaffes and he’s proud enough to talk smack. Then again, when I looked up their alltime record against us (4-9) and realized we’d won the last 6 prior to 2010 and they hadn’t beaten us in almost 20 years, I felt a touch of sympathy. Woo paint sooie.

If he had come to paint, did he plan to use an oil base or water base.
But speaking of painting, watching the Dawgs in that last bowl was like watching paint dry.
And maybe the Redcoats can strike some sounds of “Paint It Black”.
And in the move, For the Love of the Game, Paint it Black went good with getting those pitches on the outside of the plate in the strike zone. Something the Diamond Dawgs will do more of in 2012.
Do the Dawgs use a set-up similar to the Braves on their diamond and even Sanford?
Surpised they received a TM considering their competition now…Glidden, Behr, Pittsburg, Valspar.
And if they do go their to paint, get their butts handed to them, will the Hawgs “prep” the site a little better the next go around.
Do they use Linzer or Purdy brushes. Sprayers? Rollers?
Amazing how football can roll into intangible assets and construction!
Now what about their damn football team? Surely, their SID and AD are much into Martha Stewart Living.

You obviously haven’t been to the northwestern part of that stste if you say that. Your remark was like an Arkie saying all of Georgia looks like the Okeefenokee. Most of their natural wonders are center to northern part. And they are doosies! Buffalo River Basin, great fishing impoundments that have trout-filled waters downstream. Mountains that compare to the Smokies. Duck hunting in Stuttgart. You should go there to visit. Much of their natural beauty is near Fayettville.

When I attended UGA, I took an Ornithology class. A reported bird and nesting site was reported on the Altamaha and down near the Fl border. I keep Audubon’s Ivory Bill painting from nature on the same wall as a Jack Davis.
It may help for people to look in front of the boat ( when pointed at the uninteresting trees) for movement, then play back to see the white stripes delineating the bird against the black-grey backdrop. It’s a great sighting and one that fills us with hope. Much like a win over Boise St will make us feel.
