From The Vault

I was going through my digital camera to get some of the pictures I took at Falcons' mini-camp and I ran across these gems from the past. Ah, the memories...
The Holland men before the BC-Windsor football game back in 2003...

BDMDB getting ready to go to a formal with I believe Erica Maier (but I may be mistaken)...

MURRAY hood surfing before the Outback Bowl on January 1st, 2005; JH4 is not too impressed in the passenger seat...

GEORGIA

Georgia's Athletic department is having a banner year and looks to add to it over the next couple of weeks. Following a #2 final ranking in Football, A SEC championship in basketball and baseball, and a 4th straight National Championship in Gymnastics, Georgia's spring sports are making a nice run once again. Though a lot of people do not care about the minor sports, I love to see Georgia do well when other schools like Georgia Tech tend to hang their hats on them.

The men's tennis team competes for the National title tonight after the upset of the year over Virginia.

Tonight vs. Texas- 7 pm ET ESPNU

The softball team had an average season in the brutal SEC, but swept through the regionals and face the greatest softball program ever in the Super-regionals.

Saturday @ UCLA- 8 pm ET ESPN
Sunday @ UCLA- 7 pm ET ESPN2 (9 pm ET ESPN2)

The golf team won the East regional by an enormous magin and will play in the NCAA nationals May 28-31. On top of that, former Georgia golfer Ryuji Imada won last weekends AT&T in Atlanta for his first PGA Tour victory.

The Baseball team won the SEC regular season. Beckham was the first Bulldog to be named SEC player of the year, Fields was named SEC pitcher of the year, and Perno is the Coach of the year. Georgia is the first SEC program to sweep these awards. However, Georgia's pitching is seemingly getting hit harder and harder as the season progresses and Beckham is still hitting above .400 but has fallen off the torrid pace that he was on for most of the year. If Holder is not able to get back to full strength, the Daws will face an uphill battle to Omaha and I don't feel like Massanari can carry the Bulldogs like Beckham did for a good part of the early going. Georgia has locked up a regional host but needs to play well in Hoover if they want to be a National seed.

Wed.- Sun.- SEC Tournament CSS/FSN

Georgia is currently 17th in the Director's Cup standings. With strong finishes from the golf, softball, and baseball teams, Georgia could find itself in he Top 3 by the end ofthe year.

Maybe Georgia Southern will be an option?

It looks like former star Benedictine receiver Kenny O'Neal is about to go searching for his fourth college in little over four years.

After being held of spring practice at Tennessee for academic reasons, he's going to transfer for what I'd imagine just has to be his final year of eligibility. This comes after joining the Vols last season by way of the City College of San Francisco, which he attended for a year after Florida State gave him the boot.

May 5th


Along with the cheap labor and Taco Bell, Mexicans have also given us Cinco de Mayo. Gracias! Me gusta comer la hamburguesa de queso.
