The Auburn Screed
Last fall, an Auburn Tigers weblogger mentioned in the week prior to the Georgia Bulldogs’ showdown with their oldest rival on the Plains that he was awaiting my annual Auburn screed. I do not believe I author such a screed, and I certainly pulled my punches regarding the Plainsmen leading up to...
The Best Week of the Year: Auburn vs. Georgia
The best week of the year is here. It's Auburn-Georgia. Sure the Iron Bowl is a million times more important, but when the football gods invented the sport, they had to be thinking about a cool fall afternoon in north Georgia where two like-programs try to get the best of the other. For Auburn...

On Monday, I was contacted by a reader who frequents both Dawg Sports and "The Bunker," Rivals.com’s subscription-only message board for fans of the Auburn Tigers. (Yes, they call it "The Bunker." I hope for their sakes that they have a greater sense of irony than I suspect they possess, but, if...
Georgia Bulldogs Baseball: David Perno, Mixed Emotions, and the NCAA Corvallis Regional
Perhaps because so much of my job involves so many nuances, subtleties, and interstices, I tend to steer clear of grey areas outside the professional realm, and this is trebly true where coaches are concerned. They are heroes or they are villains, and seldom are they anything in between. I have...
