Southern Dawg

May 14, 2008 Dec 21, 2009 10 907

I have never lived nor was i born in the state of Georgia, yet i am a diehard intense fan of the Classic City Canines. But growing up in Alabama my grandfather who graduated from UGA in the 60's got us into the bulldawgs when i was 12 or 13 around the end of the Quincy Carter/ Jim Donnan era. It was when Richt came along in his first year that we really got into the Dawgs and couldn't miss a game on TV or follow online. So that explains the question i always get wondering how i grew up in Alabama as a huge UGA fan.

a fan of

Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Team

Indianapolis Colts National Football League Team

Georgia Bulldogs NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Vote in the Revolutionary Mumme Poll (brought to you by GTP)

I'm not sure how many of you know of or regularly check out Senator Blutarsky's dawg-blog Get The Picture, but if you haven't you are missing out on a lot. One of the big things that the great Senator has is his dream of pushing his innovative poll voting format, known as the Mumme Poll into the national spotlight. He conducted the first poll in the middle of the season last year with a fair amount of success. It's based on approval voting (which he explains in the previous link provided) and it only takes a minimal amount of time to put together.

So why am i blabbering on about this? Well because of the Senators recent announcement that the Mumme Poll is getting a technical overhaul which will make it easy to use, and a greater number of voters to participate. With the way it works, the more diversity there is and the greater number of voters, the more unbiased results you will recieve. At least as unbiased as we can in the SEC. This is all made possible by the great team over at 3rd Saturday in Blogtober. They will provide the web interface and poll engine to make such a project doable with large numbers in a shorter amount of time. I know the SEC has numbers like no other, and i would love to see this poll take off. Besides, i'm posting this on other teams SN sites, and you don't want them skewing the poll results, do you?

Therefore this is my pitch to you, my fellow SEC fans, in my best "Vote or Die" tribute, i ask you that if you consider yourself an somewhat objective (cause few of us truly are), passionate, college football fan, that can commit to doing this poll consistently week in and week out, Come and Vote, but don't make your Sports information Director fill it out. 

Vote, or stay "Mumme"!

The Dawgbone Returns on July 31st!

There is some exciting news in the Dawgosphere coming up as we will have the return of the awesome Dawgbone.net on July 31st!!! If there ever was a central hub for all things UGA it would be Dawgbone. He links to stories you would never be able to find concerning Dawg players current and former, and in every sport. If there's a news story smack talking the Dawgs he'll link to it, if one of our rivals are acting like Lane Kiffen w/o a filter he will hapily lead you to it. Not only that but he also offers great info and links to UGA recruits and commitments in a MaconDawg approved sans creepiness (this is one of the big ways i have missed the site) All in all he offers a great recourse to the Dawgosphere and I'm excited its coming back probably better than ever. GATA Dawgbone.net.

Very Good article that Dave Hale pointed me to. A lot of stuff i wasn't aware of, like kickers now using only a 1in. tee instead of the 2in. tee.

Cutler to be Traded, Stafford Impresses Lions

Well we were all sitting back waiting for the Cutler situation to inevitably deteriorate in the direction it was going. And now its basically a done deal that Cutler is gone, and McDaniels has bean revealed to be an incompetent idiot faster than any Belicheck assistant / wannabe head coach before him (at least that's my opinion). This grreatly alters many mock drafts and throws everything into a guessing game of who gets Cutler and what 1st round pick does Denver get for him.

In other news that has further impact on the draft and where Cutler is traded, is the reports of Matthew Stafford putting on an impressive performance during the Detroit Lions private workout.

So here's the question i pose to you. Where do you think Cutler ends up and do the Broncos go for Stafford as his replacement?

Poll
Where will Denver Trade Jay Cutler, and will they go for Stafford or look elsewhere? Explain your pick in the comments.
Culter goes to the Lions, and Denver drafts Stafford at #1.
2 votes
Cutler goes to the San Francisco, Denver will take whichever QB falls to them.
5 votes
Another scenario which i will explain in the comments.
13 votes

20 votes | Poll has closed

I don't know whether to be proud that once again, someone recognizes the college football juggernaut that is the SEC, or to be insulted that he compared us to the Yankke media.

All that aside there are some interesting tidbits on the national impact of having SEC games viewed across the country every Saturday and how most NFL teams don't even get that. Most of the New York Media comparison comes from General Peachfuzz's latest tabloid exploits.

Classy Farewell from Knowshon

If you haven't seen it yet, you should. It will make you proud to be a dawg fan, and is one of the classiest gestures from such a highly praised player i've seen in a long time.

You Knowshon Rockwell Moreno are a Damn Good Dawg, you show a passion and love for playing football for the Bulldogs that was truly inspiring, and we wish you the greatest success as you spin move your way through the NFL.

Marcus Howard is loved in the pro's

I'm a huge College Football fan and only marginal NFL fan. But what always perks my interest in the NFL is how former bulldogs especially the new draftees, are doing in the NFL.

One in particular that i am very excited about is Marcus Howard who was taken in the 5th round (160 overall) by the Indianappolis Colts. He has gotten nothing but love from Stampede Blue (the SB Nation for the Colts) and its safe to say BigBlueShoe has a man crush on him. Just check out all the stuff written on him. It makes me very excited to see someone ,who wasn't known until his Senior year really, do so well leading up to his rookie year in the NFL.
