Athens Atmosphere

There will be a lot of buzz in Athens for spring time come this weekend.

The search for a head basketball coach will continue. The program that has seen nothing but crap for 7 years, outside of 4 days, can't catch a break. The guy we wanted stayed at Mizzou for about 500,000 dollars less a year. We won't get Capel either and Plan B is now in Tuscaloosa. I'm not saying Georgia can't still make a good hire but the splash Damon was wanting to make and needed to make will not be happening. Also, Memphis looking for a coach might not hurt Georgia but it surely won't help.

On the bright side, the Diamond Dawgs have one of the most anticipated series in Foley field history this weekend. #1 Georgia will take on LSU who is ranked #5 in a majority of the polls. Rich Poythress is hitting Beckham-esque and leads arguably the deepest and most balanced lineup in the Perno era. The starting pitching has been superb and the importance of Holder coming back is greater than anyone could have thought. That is because the once thought deep and talented bullpen is starting to struggle. Outside of Weaver and Harvil there has been a lack of consistency from everybody else and a couple of guys are having a hard time getting any outs. This will be the best team Georgia has played all year and starts a stretch of home series against 3 top 15 teams. I don't think Georgia is a top 10 caliber team at this point but I do think they can be. Shiv will also be streaming live updates on the blog of the activities from atop Kudzu hill.
