couple of things, put into motion return to the promised land. Made 2 trips to GA from the Socialist Republic of Maryland this past month to look for retirement property. Wanted Hartwell or Thurman water but settled on water near Blairsville. 7 years to retirment and build. 2 hrs beats the 4 I traveled from Obnoxiousville for 4 years to the games. Generally happy with the choice.

Annual prediction, IF the motor on this teams holds up the offense will be ok, the motor being the O-line. Gonna be a long season without a break till Tech. IF Murry does not fall into the Stafford I gotta make the play mindset, does not FORCE the ball, and takes the high percentage passes he will do fine. Plus for the offense. Receiving corps I like with playmakers, somebody will be open and looking for big production out of the tight ends.

Defense I like. Gonna see a remake of the Junkyard 8 Erk made work so well. Gonna see the defense create problems for the opposition and give the offense some short field opportunities we need to convert. I like the firebreathing attitude coming out of the defensive side. Got a motivator as a coach, but just don't know how much growing with the new system we need to do to make it work well. We may not have the ideal personnel this year to optimize it's benefits. But we'll get there. At best we lose 1, at worst no more than 3 IF we can stay away from that darn injury bug. This years schedule is not as bad as previous years but we have to STAY focused, 1 game at a time and don't read what the talking heads have to say.

my 2 cents.

Oledawg,

sorry you didn't land in Hartwell, that's my home turf. I fugured prices would be right with the economy. Great lake and I can spot CMR right across the drink from my mothers house.

Agree with you completely on this seasons potential!

Thanks Steve, been over on the rant on their "pork barrel" expressing my disgust for some time now. looking forward to moving back to Georgia, can't wait, gonna have to show some patience though. Real estate over on the Georgia side of Hartwell seem to be pretty steady and has not suffered as much as Union county. Folks holding on pretty much. We stayed in Cornelia the first trip and in Dalton the second. Georgia has a good tax break on retirement and all the other states I looked at were too far away from Athens. Got plans for the tags on the UGA car, gonna change from the MD "oledawg" to GA "G8R H8R"...heh, heh. take care and good hearing from you. GO DAWGS GATA!

Welcome back to GOD's country oledawg

You will enjoy blairsville - almost ended up there - ended up in rabun co - fall is already in the air - in the upper 50's in the AM already - and just a slight touch of color starting and gas prices dropped to 2.37 this week - it's been a good week

Great to hear your headed back to the land of Georgia. Good to have the old sage back, although we sages have been demoted to bulldog or dawg fan. No wonder we all hate changes so much. I don't care what you call me as long as food is on the table and drink in the glass. Maryland is not such a bad place if you live on the eastern shore. Seafood is great, especially the crab cakes. It's almost worth the drive. Take care & post often; that will make this board come alive again.
As always, GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!
