Bungsgiving: A Spike Lee Joint
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE:
Bungsgiving is cancelled due to me being an idiot and forgetting that I have other obligations. Interestingly enough, my internet went out last night, so I can't get on FB to cancel the event. I should have never listened to Jack.
Facebook is hard to opperate these days (That's what she said.) I created an event page, due to JJBA's appeal for facebook officiality (new word, look it up), but I didn't take the time to invite everyone I wanted to. So, here is your official invitation.
Anyway, I'm having a pre-gameing party at the Bungerdome this upcoming Wednesday (Thanksgiving Eve). I just realized we probably have a game that day/night for the Joe Greene Invitational. I'll let yall know, if it is cancelled. It will be tough to get them to cancel the tournament, so I may have to postpone the party. This invitation is extended to all of our brother bloggers: OITO, BMBS, D&BS, OIA (in that order).
I will buy you a Bear Fight, if you bring over a turducken.

Countdown
Just 2 more days stand between me and a much needed break. On the agenda: Eating, sleeping, drinking the drink of choice -- White Russian, Oyster Roast, going ham on downtown, and the Christmas list.
PS, thanks for ruining Harry Potter for me, Weazle! He dies? Gee thanks.
PPS, Have fun on your cruise, Shane. You'll have a blast with those guys.

Wait 'til next year brah!
Just announced: Boise State v. Georgia, Sept. 3, 2011 in the GA Dome
I was talking about this earlier with some former athletic trainers from UGA. And since being an athletic trainer naturally translates to knowing everything about football, according to the experts, Georgia will win in a rout, if "Murray can learn how to put some touch on his throws." I know what you're thinking -- what the fuck is that kid talking about? And yes, that's exactly what I responded with.
I can't wait for the game. I'll be there and so will you.

The Wren/Gonzalez Show
Ask me how I feel about the Infante/Dunn for Uggla deal, and I'll probably respond with a, "uhhh...well, umm get me again a year from now" type answer. I don't really know what to say other than...Infante is a really solid player and Dunn is going to be a solid LH reliever for a long time. As far as Uggla goes, he's a good 2B and can hit the damn ball.
I just hope the in-division trade doesn't come back to haunt the Braves. Uggla is a free-agent after 2011, so this may be one of those trades the Braves make -- "let's put it all on the line for this season". It may or may not pay off this time. Maybe Wren & Co. saw something in Infante that screamed, he's not a long-term guy, but I just think the 2010 season was his first chance to play a near full season. Man, it was good. Nothing but the best, Infante. I hope he plays well for a long time, just not when playing the Braves. As for Dunn, well let's just say, it could have been worse (Venters/Kimbrel/Delgado/O'Flaherty/Hyde/Teheran/Beachy/on and on...). Dan Uggla hit 33 HRs and drove in 100+ RBIs this past season. I can't remember the last time a Braves player did either of those.
Ummm, after typing up that last paragraph, I think I may have just convinced myself that this move is a pretty good one for the Braves. Let's see how everything pans out before locking him in to a 5 year deal, please. Maybe the Braves sold "high" on Infante. That's difficult for me to believe, but whatever. Looking ahead, the Braves are loaded with pitching. Prado will be back and healthy. He's always played LF in winter ball, so that's a convenient option. Chipper will be back. Healthy? Well, maybe Prado to 3B. With all that pitching, maybe there's a LF'er out there to be had -- Rasmus, Willingham, Kemp. Can we stop with the Brett Gardner talk? It's not going to happen. The Steinbrenner's are irrational, not completely retarded.
It's going to be an interesting off-season. Get back to work Frank.

Fight Night
There's no such thing as Heavyweight Boxing anymore. It's been over 10 years since guys like Lenox Lewis and Holyfield fought, and no that person posing as Evander Holyfield in the mid to late 2000's doesn't count. In my eyes, those were the last of real Heavyweights. Well, thank God for some really good Welterweight fighters.
Manny Pacquiao debuted way back in '95. He's 51-3-2, with his most recent wins over Oscar de la Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatten, and Joshua Clottey. All good fighters, but Margarito is much taller and just as powerful, if not more. That power may be a bit deceptive, you know with those metal inserts he got caught with a while back. Anyways, tonight they'll match up for the vacant Welterweight title. Pacquiao has put on wieght to move up in class, but I'm sure he's still drinking his on urine. Regardless of drinking pee, he's really good, and it should be fun to watch. Of course, this isn't the match up I've been waiting to see -- that one is still years and years away, or maybe never.
I think it will go 12 rounds, or maybe I should say -- I really hope it goes 12 rounds. Shit talking always happens in the days before these kind of fights. You'll always see those guys, the random ones in the "entourage", that end up slap fighting during the weigh-in. Margarito's camp took a little different approach. They decided they would make a video making fun of Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, who has Parkinson's. Real classy. And for that, I hope Pacquiao takes every round to absolutely pummel Margarito.

Hey. You thought I was pulling a "dead beat dad" again didn't you? Fooled ya 'cause I'm not going anywhere. Bunger did have me a bit worried when he told me that he and Shane were the only readers left. I figured Shane took off a while ago, so I stopped worrying about the whole thing pretty quick...
Ever wonder what happens to coaches when they get canned? Like, where does Dan Hawkins go from here? He had a losing record in all of his 5 seasons at Colorado. I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm even typing this is because of this. Too good. And what about poor Wade Phillips? If you've seen the Cowboys play, I think you'd agree that they may not improve with his firing. They aren't very good, but at least Roy Williams still remembers where he came from.
On a scale of 0-10, how much effort would you say you put forth?
I went to a wedding this past weekend. The last time I was supposed to go to one of those, Georgia put up 56 on Central Michigan, and I was puking in a sink at 3. It doesn't matter if it was am or pm, okay? My suit pants barely fit, but I still remember how to dance. No band, rather a DJ who was no Marty, but he would certainly do. He played Single Ladies, yeah you know the tune, and I did my best Beyonce' impression. I was told to keep my day job to which I responded, "Opahhhhhhhh!!!" Not sure if that was appropriate use, but the woman smiled and shook her head. Gotta love those crazy Greeks. Good people, great food.
MCG's new presidente is certainly wasting no time. Dr. Ricardo Azziz, if that's your real name, has decided he's going to change our school's name. Yep, if you thought the Medical College of Georgia rolls of the tongue nicely, then you love Georgia's Health Sciences University. Wow, that's nice! He held a "forum" so students, faculty, and staff could voice opinions/concerns, but really what faculty and staff would in their right mind question him? I took the opportunity to ask him his reasoning behind the name change. I also asked if he considered that many students, presently enrolled, may feel a sense of pride or accomplishment graduating from the Medical College of Georgia. His response: "No, thanks." I wasn't really one of those students, but some fellow classmates do feel this way. His arrogance amazes me.
As of now, not a worry in the world. I just took a test on amputation and oncology today. Not a thing to do until after Thanksgiving. The grill is going. Scotch #1 tastes too good. And lastly, since I'm living hood rich, I can afford the NFL Network.
Falcons (-1.5)...I like it.

Belated Birthday Wishes
Better late than never. Happy Birthday Big Dawg. I don't know if you read this blog anymore, since our brothers at BMBS are the only blog that have kept us on their roll call. We're doin just fine though, thanks for your concern.
Five Things about Donnie
-He is tall.
-He has a girlfriend that lives in Athens. I met her once. She was nice.
-He doesn't live on Tybee anymore.
-He's a teacher now.
-I haven't seen him in two or three months, so I am going to assume that this information is still accurate.
