Who would have ever thought that one person could make such a big difference?

It just doesn't make sense. How could one person being out of the lineup make such a huge difference in the performance of the whole? Since Haynesworth has been injured our defense has absolutely sucked. We can't stop the run. We can't stop the pass. We can't stop anything or anybody. This is really really bad. When is Haynesworth going to be healthy enough to come back? Does anybody know?

Our offense can't seem to get things going either. The last couple games it's been a lot of dropped balls. It's been like watching last year's Georgia Bulldog team with all the dropped passes. It's very frustrating. I know these guys are good or they wouldn't be in the NFL, but come on. Catch the damn ball.

The game today is just plain sad/bad/ugly/pitiful. I won't even go into the penalties. Ugh!!!

Know what I hate about winter?

I hate to get into my car with leather seats in the winter time. They are freezing!! Luckily I have heated seats in my van, but it is still cold getting into the car in the winter.

On the other hand, I don't like getting in during the summer either. Especially with leather seats. There is no way to cool them off and when you are wearing shorts.............well you know how that goes. I have found these very cool things that help cool the interior off while sitting in the hot sun, a car fan. It's solar powered and supposedly keeps the car 30 degrees cooler than it would be without it. This could be a good thing. I may have to try it out.

I feel for those football players......I really do.

They take a lot of abuse. Both physical and verbal. Football fans sure can be fickle. Then they've got 250+ pound men coming at you at full speed. Has to make for a very hard night. I tell you, if I were related/married to one of those guys I would be getting as many life insurance quotes as I possibly could. LOL What they do is dangerous! I'd be getting some long term disability insurance too. I've seen too many football players suffer career ending injuries. I certainly hope that those guys and their families are protected.

Ouch!!

One of the Auburn defenders just got bit (bitten?) on the hand by a K-9 dog in the end zone. Ouch!! Seems that no dogs like the Tigers/War Eagles. LOL I knew Uga didn't, but apparently it isn't just him. LOL

31-17 UGA

Well that is a relief. We beat Tech for the 7th straight year. Whew! I was worried there for awhile. I'll post some stats later. Right now I'm too tired. Stafford, Massaquoi, Bailey, and Brown all had pretty good games. Moreno couldn't get things going tonight, but that's okay. He's had a fantastic year and he is only a freshman. The coming years are going to be a lot of fun!! Now we are done until our bowl game. Right now they are predicting that we go to the Sugar Bowl. There is still a lot of football left though so we will see how that plays out. I hate the time between the last game of the season and the bowl game though. It is never a good thing to have that much time between games.

O....M.....G!!!!

Talk about crazy games!! UK has the winning field goal blocked.

In our game Tech picks up a fumble to run into the end zone only to fumble it into the end zone giving UGA a first down on the 20. I told you this is a fun season!!

Oh and UKs field goal attempt came after they intercepted Ainge. Did I mention that that game is in OT? 4th overtime right now.

More craziness. UGA touches the ball on a punt and it rolls into the end zone. There is a fight over the ball and UGA end up with it.............touch back. Ugh!! I hate games like this!! It could have so easily been a Tech touchdown.

Well hell. UT pulled it out. Sorry Kentucky. You were so close!

I always bite my nails......

I do it during big football games. Ugh!! I swear as much as I love football I hate it just as much some days. I've been nervous about my Dawgs in today's game against Tech. We aren't playing great football, but we are not playing horribly either. Moreno can't get it going. Brown is running better today. We are down right now 14-10.

The UT/Kentucky game is getting close. I had to stop watching since it was making me mad, but the Wildcats have made a game out of it. I'll keep my eye on that one. ;-) We just have to make it through this one first. *sigh*

I'm waffling on whether or not I want to go to the SEC Championship though. Yeah, I know I should always want to go to our Championship game, but we may be better off if we win this one if we don't go to that game. If we win today we are guaranteed a BCS bowl. If we get to the SEC Championship and lose to LSU then we go to a lesser bowl. Which would I rather do? Both? LOL

Update while I was typing............16-14 Georgia (we missed the point after........ugh!)

It's college game day!!

I have to say that this year has been incredibly fun in college football. It's been a year of upsets with a few teams you don't normally see at the top of the polls. It looks like no one wants that that #1 spot. Or maybe it's just jinxed. LOL The teams riding at #1 seem to get picked off regularly this year. The latest being LSU. They were upset by an unranked Arkansas team yesterday. I won't go into my whole SEC thing here, but on any given Saturday (Friday) any SEC team can beat any other SEC team regardless of rank. ;-)

Today should be an interesting day. This being an "upset" season has me a little nervous about my Dawgs today. We play Georgia Tech (those pesky bugs). It has the potential to be an upset as we are only favored by like 3.5. Another game of note for my Dawgs is the UT/Kentucky game. We need for Kentucky to deal a knock out punch to UT so we can get to Atlanta again next week for the SEC Championship game against LSU. There is a chance with a win today by my Dawgs we can make it to the National Championship game, BUT a lot of things need to happen. I do not expect that one. If you want to see the scenarios you can go to Ching's Georgia Bulldog Blog and have a look. I'll be keeping my eye on those games though even if I don't expect it to happen. I just can't help myself. LOL

Have fun today folks. I know I will!!!

I'm with him!!

It totally ticks me off that Comcast no longer has NFL Network. Well, unless you want to pay extra for it. It's unfair. I love football and yet I am missing games because some idiot at a cable company wants to make more money. Like they don't take enough of my money just so I can watch tv already. Apparently I'm not the only one who is upset about it. Seems that Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, is not happy about it either. He is urging people to leave cable companies who no longer offer NFL Network for either their cable competitors or satellite. I think I may have to check into that myself. Anyone have any recommendations? I need a provider who does internet too since I'm spoiled with my really fast connection! LOL

I'm guessing it's too early......

After last night's loss to Denver, I'm guessing that it is too early to be reserving my Superbowl tickets, huh? LOL I'm a huge football fan. Yeah, I'm sure you didn't know that. ;-) I watch football all day on Saturday and Sunday. I even watch on Thursday and Monday. I love football season and hate it when it's over. I've been to some pretty big college games in the past. I've even been to some big NFL games. However, I've never been able to go to the Super Bowl. I would love to go to the Super Bowl. I don't think I even care who is playing (well maybe not the Colts or the Pats.........or the Ravens LOL). I think I would have a blast.

You know that "Save Mommy's Sanity" vacation I want to go on?

I'm still dreaming. LOL I think I want to go to Colorado. I've seen some really nice pictures from there recently and it just looks gorgeous. I want a cabin in the mountains with the snow falling all around. I want to sit in a luxurious robe with a cup of hot chocolate watching the snow fall. I want a romantic fire burning in the fireplace. Did I mention that I would like for my wonderful husband to be there with me? I think we both need a little time together to reconnect. I'm sure if you have kids you know all about that need.

Before we go though (I say that like it's already planned. LOL) I'd like to get some new Samsonite luggage. Why you ask? Well, we have no matching pieces. Yes that is important. We need a "set" of matching luggage. LOL And the there is the fact that I just love luggage. LOL Makes me feel like I am a world traveler to have a nice set of luggage.

Computers are really a mystery to me.

I play on a computer everyday. I have his blog and have many blogs that I read daily. I am addicted to my favorite mommy message board. But, when it comes to anything technical on this thing I am completely clueless. I am trying to figure out the whole uploading of music on my new MP3 player. I still have problems transferring pictures from the camera to the computer. I did figure it out on one of our cameras, but the other one is still a mystery to me. LOL Having said all that I have a question. I would like to find a new bigger (as in holds more pictures) memory card for our digital cameras. Will the micro sd work for that or do I need to look somewhere else?

We suck.

That is all.

This has to be the sexiest Bon Jovi video I've ever seen.

At least in recent memory. It is 'Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore' with Leann Rimes. You have to watch all the way to the end to get to the sexy part. ;-) O....M....G!! HOT!! Can I just say that I love that man? *sigh*

Sorry Honey! ;-)

It wasn't pretty, but it was a win.

You can't always ask for pretty wins. We didn't get one yesterday. I'm just happy we pulled it out. Our defense played really well and kept us in the game. Our offense played better in the second half, but man oh man that first half was ugly. We ended up with 4 turnovers. How we won with 4 turnovers (2interceptions 2 fumbles) I'll never know. Oh wait! Our defense! They helped out a lot there. LOL

Here are some stats from the game:
1. 283 total yards (184 rushing 99 passing)
2. Knowshon broke 100 yards again. He had 136.
3. Thomas Brown had 78 rushing yards.
4. Heck, even Stafford had 10 for a TD. LOL
5. Asher Allen had an 82 yard kickoff return to start the game (that was fun!! To bad we fumbled it before we could score).


I know I don't talk much about our defense, but I think I should start. We have a freshman who is fantastic. Rennie Curran. Yesterday he had 12 solo tackles. All year this kid just seems to be all over the place. He always knows where the ball is and it gets to it fast! If he stays healthy is going to get better and better.

I'm sure there is much more to talk about, but I've got kids demanding my attention. LOL Ahhh, the joys of parenthood. ;-)

Next up for my Dawgs......................those pesky Bees. For those of you who don't know that is the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. They are looking to ruin our season. We are looking to squash them. Should be a fun game.

Damn!

I thought Vandy was going to pull it off. They missed a field goal right there at the end that would have won them the game and my Dawgs a trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship. Now I guess I have to pull for Kentucky next week. Ugh! I was so hoping it would be over this weekend. *sigh*

GO WILDCATS!!

Man I love to watch this kid run!

At the start of the 4th quarter Knowshon Moreno already has over 100 yards. He is so fun to watch. Most of those yards came in the last half of the 2nd quarter and the 3rd quarter. Keep giving him the ball Coach, keep giving him the ball!!

10 minutes away from kickoff

My Dawgs play Kentucky today and we are 10 minutes away from kickoff as I type this. I have to wonder how we are going to play. It is Senior Day so the team should be hyped. Coach Richt isn't calling for anything special from the fans this week. Well other than getting in the stands early and being loud. That was never an issue when I was there..........at least for me. I was always in the stands early. LOL I refused to miss kickoff.

This game could really go either way, but considering that this should be a revenge game since they beat us last year and they beat up on our QB we should be all over these guys from the start.



This should be all the motivation our boys need. Our QB should never look like this after a game. EVER!! I hear that Coach Richt took MS to see the O line afterwards to show them. I'm sure this picture was posted in the locker room for all to see this week.

It is time!! GOOOOOO DAWGS!!!!

WOOHOO! We start with an 80+ yard kickoff return!! Way to go Asher Allen!!!

Really?

Do people really not have checking accounts these day? I've known people in the past who didn't have checking accounts, but they have since succumbed and opened one. I was talking with a friend today and she says they do not have one and haven't had one in a very long time. They have no plans to open one either. They pay for everything with cash. I just don't think I could do it. I couldn't pay bills online. I would have to go get money orders for all our bills. It is hard enough for me to find time to sit down and make out the bills I don't pay online and then go to the post office to mail them. I couldn't imagine having to find time to go get money orders on top of that. I think I'll stick with my checking account.

Exercise. I need exercise!!

I have started this so many times that I've lost count. I always start out great and then something happens. I get a cold or I hurt something or my knee starts acting up. I have to take a break and then getting started again is so difficult. Not only that, but finding the time to go do it at a gym or someplace is pretty much out. Michael works second shift so he isn't home in the evenings so I can get out. I can't take the kids with me. I cannot get into doing videos alone. I think I need to invest in a treadmill. I don't mind walking on a treadmill. I like to walk and I could even continue to do it when the weather was bad. Now if I only had the space in my house for one. *sigh*
