Herschel's Personality Tonight

Herschel Walker Knocked Out

...almost every would be tackler that stood in his way when he was playing for the Bulldogs. Now, unless you have been under a rock, we are all ready to see if he can do the same in his first MMA fight tomorrow night.

We've all heard a thousand tales of things that Herschel could do that are almost in-human. 5,000 push ups every day, 5,000 sit-ups, 4% body fat while still weighing 230+. There is no doubt the guy is a FREAK. Now, at 47, can he hang with a trained MMA fighter half his age?

Here is one of the better articles I have read over the past few days about the fight. I, for one, will be in Athens tomorrow night to watch the greatest Dawg legend ever do his thing. What bar should I settle on to watch the beat down (either way it goes)?

Gym Dawgs Are Hawt!

My buddy at work brought me a stack of UGA team posters last week, and the one with the Gym Dawgs stood out above the rest. There are definitely some hotties on this year's team. While each of them are beautiful in their own way, I thought I would give tribute to the 4 that stood out to me most.

Kati Breazeal - Allen, Texas



Kathryn Ding - Sparks, Nev.



Courtney McCool - Lees Summit, Mo.


Gina Nuccio - Naperville, Ill.

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.

Tim Tebow To The Falcons

Yesterday I was driving home from work, listening to the Buck and Kincade Show, when Buck Belue said that the Falcons should be keeping an eye on Tebow at this week's senior bowl. I chuckled at his apparant joke, but then thought it might not be a bad idea to go for him if he is still available in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Give me a minute before you start screaming at me Falcon & Dawg fans. I agree as much as anyone that the dude will not make it as a prototypical NFL type quarterback. My thoughts are that he may be able to play a slot/tight end hybrid position; occasionaly lining up in shot gun to do what he does best.

You can't really argue the fact that the guy has something special, and he will probably succeed at most anything he does. I think we should go after him and see if he can take over for good old Tony Gonzalez in a year or two when he is ready to put up the cleats.

Do you think Tebow would look good in Red & Black?

Mount Cody To New Heights (UPDATED)

This poor guy needs a serious intervention. I guess that when you are as good as he is you sometimes forget what exercise and nutrition are all about. No one can deny that the kid is a freakish athlete, but if someone doesn't call Nutrisystem real fast, he is going to have some serious health issues.

Here is a quote from Sportsillustrated.com today: "Sliders
Terrence Cody/DT/Alabama: Cody looked poorly conditioned on Monday, tipping the scales at a sloppy 370 pounds. During practice he quickly tired and struggled to keep pace with the rest of the linemen. He was pushed to the ground and handled by lesser opponents on a number of occasions."

Tuberville ready to move … to UGA?

Yeah, when I read that title, I probably had a similar reaction to you. First of all, why would UGA hire him, and second of all, where is Mark Richt going? Here is the full article if you are interested in reading Mark Bradley's most of the time irrational opinion: HERE
