Georgia Beats Florida!

What a great game on Saturday to see our boys from Athens kick some Gator butt! It was a great game between the border rivals of the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida Gators. When it comes to water, we have had another battle there. We got them in football and now it might be time to stop our water from going down to the Sunshine State.

One of the best things in the game was when Georgia scored their first touchdown. The whole team from Georgia rush to the endzone and celebrated with the offense. The Florida team was visibly shaken from this move and their coach tried to ralley them. Florida’s coach “Oscar” Meyer “Winner” got a few Florida players to root on the defense when they came off the field, when Georiga kicked the PAT. Things would only get worse for Meyer as everything he tried against that tough Bulldog defense just failed. He even benched one of his players, because the center snapped the ball over his head. Florida’s coach for some reason thought that his player should have got the ball, even though it was over his head. Meyer is a poor loser and you can see that very clearly as his team was overmatched by the team from Georgia. I doubt Meyer will have a job much longer down there, the way he acts when his team is losing. He just yelled and blamed the players all game long and it was clear they haven’t seen a football team as good as Georgia this year.

A star is born in Georgia with Knowshon Moreno. This kid is the real deal and he’s only going to get better as a red-shirted freshmen. The sky is the limit for this kid and if Mark Richt will let him take over, the Bulldogs are going to win a lot of games.

GO BULLDAWGS………THAT A WAY TO HUNKER DOWN!!!

WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT?

WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT?

WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT?

So long Florida….we will see ya again next year in Jacksonville! Don’t even worry about revenge, because a lot of recruits just watched who the real men are, and all those recruits that were on the fence will now be flocking to the Georgia Bulldogs!

Halloween is almost here! This is a great time of the year. We start to feel the first cool weather from the long hot summer days. All the kids are picking out their favorite costumes, so they can go spend the night on the town grabbing up all the goodies in their bags. It’s as much fun giving out the treats as it is to eat them!

What’s halloween without a few scares? A lot of the scary movies will start coming on television and I like watching them. Even though I have seen them a hundred times, it’s still fun to watch them over and over again. I also like a good haunted house too! I haven’t been to any yet, but would like to take one of my nephews to a good one. I’m not a big fan of those that are so dark, you can’t even see where you’re walking to, but sometimes those are the best ones. A good haunted house can even scare the adults a bit. You expect someone to jump out at you, but if that someone has a really creepy look to them, they can take your breath away a bit. Maybe I will find a good one and it will give me my money’s worth. BOO!

The Color of Money is one of the best movies ever! There isn’t a lot of pool related movies but this one has to be the leader with the Hustler coming in a close second. When you put Paul Newman and Tom Cruise in a movie and have them playing billiards, you have the parts of a great movie. That is exactly what the Color of Money is and if you haven’t seen this one, then just go put your pool cues down and get it today!

Fast Eddie Felson who is played by Paul Newman is a man with a plan. He is a hustler in every sense of the way. He’s ready to share his talents with this young kid he hears breaking the balls with authority. The young kid is Vincent who is played by Tom Cruise, and Fast Eddie offers to teach Vincent how to be a hustler. Vincent accepts the offer and the two plan to go to a big tournament in Atlantic City. Fast Eddie, Vincent and his girlfriend Carmen load up to go play in this big tournament, but they stop at all the pool halls along the way, so Fast Eddie can teach Vincent all the ropes. Vincent isn’t the best student in the world and really flashes his talent for everybody to see. Fast Eddie has a rough time trying to teach Vincent how to hustle and shows Vincent how he could be winning more money than he’s accustomed to.

Short Scene From the Movie

If you play pool or know someone that does, then you must make sure that the pool player in your life sees this movie! It’s a 5 star movie for anybody that picks up the pool cues every now and then. I give it 4 stars for the people who have never played billiards before in their life! If you haven’t seen this movie yet; you might want to go ahead and get the Hustler and see a young Paul Newman in that movie first. It might make The Color of Money more understandable from the beginning, but it’s not a hard movie to follow at all. I would love to take a trip like the one Fast Eddie and Vincent took in this movie and stop at every billiard place I saw along the way.
