Saturday Night in Athens
Gameday is in town, and the enemy from the Plaines comes in with all the hype. The Dawgs and Kirby try to wreck the GusBus yet again.

Gameday is in town, and the enemy from the Plaines comes in with all the hype. The Dawgs and Kirby try to wreck the GusBus yet again.
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.
It’s finally time to kick off the 2020 SEC football season! We go Four Downs and an Extra Point on a hinge to keep an eye on for the Dawgs this weekend. We take a look at this week’s Enemy. I make my picks for the record for each SEC team for the coming season. I rundown this week’s Viewing Guide and I give you the Pick of the Year, of the Week so you can wager all of your money on a single game this weekend.
While the Braves close in on their third straight division championship, the Falcons prove that there is no limit to the level of stupidity the franchise can achieve. Plus, don't miss the debut of a new weekly segment, Thing I think I think! We have a new format starting this week, with our normal, weekly podcast moving to Mondays and a NEW podcast each and every Thursday! Don't miss the debut of the College Football Preview!
The Big 10 has decided to grace us with their presence later this fall. I talk about the decision, the process, and what comes next. I also cover why I am adopting a new philosophy for the last 10 games of the Braves’ season. And our weekly Viewing Guide prepares you for the last mediocre football week of the year.
College football, the NFL, and even an interesting high school game. Football is back! Plus a breakdown of Georgia’s defense and our weekly check-in with the Braves.
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?
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...
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. Today, I talk about the Pache situation, the September schedule, and the trade deadline while watching Ian Anderson make his major league debut.
We have a schedule!!!! I breakdown the recently released schedule. I ask you to pray for one SEC coach and I talk about the true location of the SEC offices. Also, some details on the fan plan for Sanford Stadium and our weekly conversation about the Braves’ lack of starting pitching.
Two conferences have canceled their season. Three press on. How did it all fall apart so quickly? What were the factors that lead us here? What comes next? I try to make sense of one of the most extraordinary weeks in college football history.
Soroka’s injury, college football’s plans, and Golf’s first major of the year.
The ACC has a new member, the Braves try to add by subtracting, it’s Snitmas in July, and Atlanta United need a coach. Man it’s good to be able to talk about sports!
Can’t a podcaster catch a break? The last 24 hours have seen major developments in Major League Baseball, including the last minute expansion of this year’s playoffs. Here is my best attempt to predict the unpredictable.
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.”
Two MVP candidates. A gold glove winning center fielder. A young, energetic second baseman. A guy playing on a one year deal with the hope of cashing in after betting on himself. Two guys with HUGE chips on their shoulders wanting to prove their worth. A catcher who can’t catch. The good, the better, and the Tyler Flowers. It’s time to talk about the every day lineup!
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!
As the 2020 season approaches, I take a look at the starting pitching for the Braves. Who can we count on? Who are the guys we hope step up? Why didn’t the Braves make a HUGE free agent signing to sure up the rotation? We address it all in our first episode of this he Breaking Down the Bravos series, leading up to Braves v. Mets on Opening Day 2.0!
MLB is back! MLS is back! College football players are back on campus! Hope has returned to the world of sports! Now all we need is for our luck to change completely.
We are back! 100 days until kickoff between the Dawgs and Virginia. Tare yourself away from all things Pandemic and allow yourself a break that you richly deserve. Let’s talk sports!
Chalk at the top. The Falcons screw up? And Aaron Rodgers gets Aaron Rodgered.
I’m Back! Today on the Podcast we look at the storylines surrounding tonight’s first round of the NFL Draft. Where will Tua go? Will the Falcons move up? Where do the Dawgs land? Forget about the real problems facing our world and lose yourself in something that doesn’t really matter.
Take 2 hours out of the extra day that 2020 gives you to find out if you could be a soccer fan without even knowing it. I always said I hated soccer, but now I have grown to love soccer, and Atlanta United, as much as anything other than Georgia football. This Saturday night at 8 pm can be the first step towards your personal soccer fandom. Just give it a shot!
With the signing of a cleanup hitter and the hiring of an offensive coordinator, hope has returned to the Braves and Georgia football.
The Bringer of Rain has gone, so what next for the Braves at third base? Jake Fromm is gone, but we know who’s next at QB in Athens.... Hello Newman! A New OC and a new offense too? Christmas in January!!!
A first for the podcast! I preview the national title game by having the first interview on A View from the Couch. Clemson Super Fan Jeremy Timmerman joins me to talk about the showdown in the Super Dome!
A Sugar Bowl win, another great recruiting class, a 5-Star running back turned away, an all-time quarterback leaving early, and how a severed pinkie could have huge implications for Georgia’s offensive line. 2020 has produced a year’s worth of drama in 8 days.
Reacting to the Falcons’ season, the college football playoff, and a lot of Georgia players not showing up in New Orleans.
Bowl week is here! Use the Viewing Guide to make your plans for the CFP and New Year’s Six. I preview both semifinal games and tell you who I think will win and why. We finish things up with a preview of the Sugar Bowl between the Dawgs and the Bears.
As 2020 draws near, I reflect on the last 10, painful years of Georgia and Atlanta sports by counting down the 10 worst moments of the last 10 years. Look back one last time, and with the dawning of a new decade, we turn to the future and hope for more joy than sadness in the next 10 years.
