Overreacting to One Game

Overreacting to the first game of the season is rite of passage in college football, so get my takes on Georgia’s uneven performance against Arkansas. Also, the Falcons did it again and the Braves face the Reds in the playoffs.

Bonus Episode: College Football 2020

This strange season starts (for real) on Thursday night, but how will it work? How do we have a four-team playoff with three conferences? What happens if a game is canceled? Is the Big 10 going to play? What should expectations be for UGA?

The Hits Keep on Coming

Thank goodness the hits keep on coming for the Braves' offense as AA decided to roll into the final stretch of the season with Max Fried, Ian Anderson, and the ghost of Cole Hamels. The Braves will be fine as long as they score 10 runs per game in the postseason. We finally have some kickoff times for the first two weeks of the SEC schedule, and we know that we will be getting Gary Danielson salivating over Nick Saban when Alabama hosts UGA under the lights in week four of the season. My preview...

Braves at the Half

Despite all of the injuries, the lack of starting pitching, and the myth that is Cole Hamels, the Braves are in first place at the halfway point of the season.

Breaking Down the Bravos: The Airing of Grievances

When something you love hurts you or let’s you down, you have to get those feelings out. Before a new season can begin, we need to clear the air. Or, as the great Frank Costanza would say, “I got a lot of problems with you people, now you’re going to hear about them.”

Breaking Down the Bravos: Bullpen Preview

From disgusting boil on the butt of an ugly cow, to the princess of the ball, the Braves’ bullpen has been transformed in the last year. How does this year’s pen factor into the overall plan for the team, and who will end up being the closer by the time the pennate race is winding down in September. I shoot my shot on answering those questions and take a lot of shots at Luke Jackson!
