Ah, July……College football is COMING!!!!

Just a quick recap of what’s happened to the Dawgs in July.

1. I watched the Chick Fil A Bowl again last weekend. That. Never. Gets. Old.
2. Still no punishment handed down for Blake Barnes and Tripp Chandler for underage drinking. It has to be at least 1.2 games, per university policy. Can we really put them in at the three minute mark in the first quarter of the South Carolina game? And by ‘them’, I mean Chandler.
3. Matt Stafford is learning to play golf and has a long way to go. Dear Matt: Thanks for playing golf instead of going to another NASCAR race.
4. There are a total of 17 verbal commitments for 2008 – that’s right, seventeen. See, in the old days, we wouldn’t have paid them until December or January.
5. Incoming frosh Caleb King was arrested and booked for driving on a suspended license and going the wrong way on a way street in Athens – ON A SCOOTER. Thanks to the cops for keeping those hardened criminals from overtaking the campus.
6. Walk on lineman Tripp Taylor was arrested for simple assault for an altercation that took place a month ago. No jokes here, if he’s guilty, he should be suspended for the season or kicked off the team.
7. Larry Munson has announced that he will probably only announce home games starting in 2007. Even Gators fans think that sucks. And they know about these things.

Fall camp opens in a couple of weeks. I'll be addressing the schedule in the upcoming weeks. The 2007 season is a big unknown for the Dawgs. Partly because of their own team, and partly because the SEC is more wide open than ever. Doesn't matter, because I'll be watching or listening to every game.
And please, folks. No weddings during football season!
