If you’re astute enough to notice I’m posting at this ungodly hour, well, that’s because I’m leaving to catch a flight out west at a just slightly less ungodly hour. I’m squeezing in a mini-vacay with some high school buddies to celebrate one’s sixtieth birthday. I’ll be back in Atlanta Sunday evening.
I will have Internet access, so I will be able to keep an eye on things here. Blogging may be a little limited, so behave while I’m gone, you scamps.

I don’t know about you, Senator, but it’s weekends like this that make me reallize how little I appreciated my youth. If only I knew one tenth what I know now and was 25 again. Oh well, have fun.

My oldest is 25 and after this his first year of medical school he is leaving with his friends for Italy. Catching a train through France and Germany and crossing the channel and then home. Travelers checks are passe today. Credit cards, cash and bit coins are the coins of the realm. The morning he arrives back in the USA he and those friends are helping him move to a new home. The following morning he leaves for 2 weeks to help at a summer camp for diabetic children. And then he will return to Athens to help with his Dad’s annual summer project.

Never been to Europe. My dad went one time and said it sucked. But he went in 1944. Probably more fun now.

“Not Vegas. Steamboat Springs.”
At least you’re not at ground zero
Or maybe you are

Well things are slowing down a bit. So, I read something I thought was interesting that I wanted to mention.
At SEC days, CMR was asked about the impact of COA. His response…
…we feel very good about our situation. We have certainly the cost of attendance numbers, but there’s also some things that can be done in a creative way that is well within the rules that can get us in pretty good shape on that front. So we know Georgia can do just as well as anywhere in the country as far as taking care of our players, and we don’t think it’s going to have a negative effect at all.
Notice the comment, “creative ways”. Let’s hope this COA issue becomes a non-issue. Maybe we worried for nothing.

Noticed that too. Awfully Evil Richt of him. And I say this as a Richt homer – if he can just get out of his own way with game management, we might just win a championship or two here in the next few years.

Am i understanding the implications of that statement correctly? is that a warning shot across the bow of other school’s not to go all crazy with their COA’s because they can’t outspend UGA? He is absolutely right but god what an un-Richt like thing to utter. Evil Richt …me likey.
