What a great day!  That is what an October Saturday should be in the SEC! I saw the game on TV. That Knowshon is incredible,
    Did you know that Mercer has an exploratory committee looking? Location of a Stadium may be an issue, The old race track might work!

James:
 
I enjoyed your story and the photos of your trip to see our Dawgs whip up on the Vols. However I must point out that the score was 26 - 14 and not 26 - 17. Also, our top running back's name is Knowshon Moreno, not Knoshan Moreno. I hope we can win the rest of our games and get another shot at Alabama in the SEC Championship game. Living here in Montgomery, all I've heard the past couple of weeks is how the Tide steam rolled our Dawgs. Granted they rolled over us the first half, but we did make a game of it in the second half. We just ran out of time.

Dear Wallis and Bobby,
 
I've never been known for accuracy in my spelling or reporting. Why is it that no one questions my ph's?

Kommish,

 “He stated Georgia is # 1 in graduation percentage of football players.”  ???

 I’m assuming he meant to add “in Clarke County.”

Dear Rome,

I know(shon) it's hard for you phlorida state phans to understand such statements. Of course Coach Richt meant Georgia was # 1 in Clarke County....and in the State of Georgia and the rest of the Nation.

Your phavorite unkle.

 James,

     You lucky guy, you!  A lovely wife, a beautiful daughter, a promising future son-in-law(?), all between the hedges on a beautiful football day on the UGA campus.  No wonder you've got that big grin on your face!
 
     The first early fall day every year always takes me back to my fall quarters at UGA.  There was just a kind of magic about the place that time of year that I never noticed at any other time.  Certainly nothing could beat being inside Sanford Stadium with fifty thousand other Georgia fans hollering "Go,Dawgs" at the top of our lungs, trying to avoid being doused with bourbon from cups held in none-to-steady hands, and coming home slightly sunburned and contented with another Georgia win on the scoreboard.  There were some good football years when I was there.
 
       Dooley's Dawgs were awe-inspiring and now Mark Richt has filled those big shoes Vince left behind and made the program all his.  Maybe this'll be another memorable year for Georgia football.
 
     Thanks for sharing with us.

We were there also and saw you and Cheryl leaving the field, just before the Academic All Americans were introduced.  We were there to see a friend from Fernandina's nephew introduced.  He is an Academic All American  swimmer at UGA.   It was great football weather, and a great game.
