Would You Rather...
Would you rather...
1)...have the #1 recruiting class in the nation, or have the #1 team after January?
This is a no-brainer!
2)...watch the Dawgs play with Jessica Alba, Megan Fox, or Vince Dooley?
Jessica Alba, duh! Sorry Vince!
3)...have 5 star recruits with great work ethic, or 1 5 star recruit?
Give me the hard working boys anyday. With them you can win championships!
4)...sit in a sky box in Sanford, or sit in the student section on a summer day with sexy co-eds?
Co-eds baby..at least for now...I am getting old though! lol
5)...pay $20 bucks to watch the Dawgs lose, or $150 to watch them win?
This is a tough one, but I think a win is worth $130 bucks...who are we playing? :)
6)...watch the Dawgs with your wife, or your best Bulldawg buddy?
Come on now...Sarah, of course!
7)...tailgate all day for a 7 o'clock game, or kickoff at noon?
Give me the night game anytime!
8)...your son or daughter go to GaTech or Florida?
WOW, I plead the 5th!
Let us know what you think about any or all of these "Would You Rathers"!

UGA Founders' Day Tidbits
225 years ago the University of Georgia was founded on this date (January 27, 1785). This founding makes UGA the oldest public state-chartered school in America.
Other notable events from 1785:
-July, The dollar is unanimously chosen as the money unit for the United States (the first time a nation has adopted a decimal coinage system).
-"An Account of the Foxglove" by Shropshire physician William Withering, 44, introduces medical use of the cardiac drug digitalis. Obtained from dried leaves of the foxglove plant Digitalis purpurea, it is frequently toxic but is nevertheless the first effective treatment for heart disease.
-Frenchman Jean-Pierre Blanchard and American John Jeffries travel from Dover, England, to Calais, France, in a gas balloon, becoming the first to cross the English Channel by air.
-The Treaty of Hopewell is signed between the United States of America and the Cherokee Nation.
-Continental Congress convenes in New York City
