Big Red Bus
I first saw Herschel in 1980, having nearly front row seat, as he scored right in front of me.
Now Herschel is a candidate for governor of Georgia.
I just might vote for him, it’ll surely be a fun primary to watch.
Hope his son Christian campaigns, he’s an interesting, and entertaining young man.
After all that, To Hell with Georgia.

Burqa Ban
Meanwhile, here in the United States, we are headed in the other direction.
Switzerland: Voters Approve 'Burqa Ban': The referenda reflect the determination of a majority of Swiss voters to preserve Swiss traditions and values in the face of runaway multiculturalism and the encroachment of political Islam. Isn’t it refreshing to see the misogyny argument used correctly.

William Clay Mathews, Sr.
This past spring the Georgia Tech Alumni magazine came around and I was surprised to learn about this man. The son of a Citadel coach in Charleston, Clay came to Atlanta to play football, which he did for Bobby Dodd. He was drafted by the San Francisco 49'ers in 1949. He took a break from football to become a paratrooper during the Korean War. He then returned to the NFL for another 3 years of sporting service.
Following football Mathews entered the business world and achieved great success. He held executive positions with Bell and Howell, Hamilton Beach and Aerojet General where is was the chief executive officer.
Clay senior also had the good fortune to have two sons and four grandsons play in the NFL, two of which as still active today.
William Clay Mathews, Sr. was 88 years old.

Sour Grapes
Ray Goff, the head coach that followed Vince Dooley, was asked by reporters what he would tell Will Musschamp if he were contacted by Mark Richt to become Georgia's new defensive coordinator.
Why is that the Georgia clan cannot get their arms around the fact that they've never been sucessful at drawing in vogue coaches. Not to besmerch the program, because I think coaches like Richt, Dooley and even Tubby Smith are top flight men, but they were all hired in before they became famous. These men developed their personas while at UGA. The Georgia slots will never match Kentucky in basketball, or Alabama in football. There is usually one program per major conference that has that kind of allure. This is not a we're better than you, GT versus UGA thing, Tech has the same problems with the additional complication of being a smaller program and therefore cash poor.
Great historical prorgams like Kentucky, Texas, USC, Notre Dame, North Carolina and Alabama can draw in the coaches they wish for simply by the prestige. Texas pulled Mack Brown away from North Carolina, North Carolina enticed Roy Williams away from Kansas and so on an so forth. When Notre Dame came calling on George O'Leary, do you think he thought twice about leaving?
Why in the world would Will Musschamp leave Texas for the same job in Georgia?
"If he called and said he had a chance to be the coach at Texas in two or three years or go to Georgia, I'd tell him to stay at Texas. I'd tell him you are going to get fired one day because 99 percent of guys get fired. And if you get fired by your alma mater, you no longer have an alma mater. You no longer have a place to call home."Sounds like a man that has been aliented by a family he loved.
