my atlanta sports fix


ok...let me just vent for a little bit. if you are here for a fun update about our portland lives, i apologize and encourage you to re-read one of the old posts.
first of all the braves are terrible. what happened? and let me tell you the ONLY thing worse than your team being horrible is them being horrible and you not being able to see a single game. when you live in atlanta you get spoiled something fierce with sports sou
th and fsn south. the first brave i see in portland will be chipper limping around in the all star game.
and speaking of my misery...the university of georgia basketball team is forever cursed. we hired jim harrick. ok, not the smartest move, but it's not like we're the only ones. ask indiana about hiring a coach they knew was a cheater before he even got there. but will indiana be forever punished for their moment of indiscretion? not likely. georgia on the other hand. "but daniel" you start to chime in at your computer. well don't "but daniel" me. i know we made the tournament last year after what can only be called the most improbably sec tourney run and the greatest moments of my sporting life at atlanta's largest mcdonalds. well that's all well and good, but once again...prosperity doesn't become us. jeremy jacobs, our best freshman in last
 years recruiting class that only played a few games and thus attained a medical redshirt, giving us 4 full years to watch the most athletic and talented player on our roster grow, just announced he would be transferring. transferring. awesome. 
it's no good friends. no good at all. not only will we not losing jeremy, but also big dave bliss who you can see laboring up the court in the background. the question is who is going to step up and commit 4-5 hard fouls per 8-10 minutes of back-pain filled minutes. 
if the hawks don't resign josh smith i'm buying a greg oden jersey...that's all there is to it. 

ok i take it back.
