First it was Hart County, then Clemson, then U of Ga. Guess you could say this weekends football of interest tanked. On Friday night Hart County played the most anticipated game of the year. Stephens County the traditional rivals who were also still undefeated in regional play. Hart County was highly ranked in the state and was picked to win. But only slightly. Stephens who has won five of the last six and three in a row had other ideas. When it was over Hart County was handed a defeat. 17-34.
Next Up, Clemson. We went to the game today. Ashley was a junior Tiger Twirler for the day. She got to go out on the field and do her thing. She is so cute. It was a long day, starting with meetings and practice for the kids at 8:30. And cold for the adults left outside in the shade. But we shivered our way through it. Amy, Joel and Mrs Heard, along with Kristie and me. After watching a few minutes we drove to our tail gate spot. Right in the new West End Zone lot. April, Jeffrey and Grandmother met us there. Amy and Ashley marched with the Tiger Band before the game. One other high point was seeing Mrs Tommy Bowden. We also saw Perry and Lucretia . I kidded with Perry that he wore purple warm-up after his blog Friday said he'd wear orange.
Clemson lost a back and forth game in the last second to a Maryland field goal. final score 12-13.
I had my Ipod on for a lot of the Georgia game and they too last in the last few minutes. After the Dogs leading most of the way Kentucky scored and won in the last seconds 20-24.
Next week...Has to be better. With one more victory, Georgia will become the 11th program in Division I-A with 700 all-time wins. The Bulldogs have played 1,131 total games since 1892, the sixth most in Division I-A.

The sports bright spot of the week was Monk's soccer win back on Monday.
See you at NewSpring tomorrow.

BTW the photo of Ashley is from last years event. It was a lot warmer
