Monday Musings: America, Heck Yeah

The socials have been flooded with foreigners coming to the United States, wide-eyed at Big Gulps, huge portions, and food that contains every additive under the sun except for what God likely intended to be in it.

Here’s one that gave me pause…a guy that came to a Mexican restaurant, and was almost ashamed at the idea of getting free food before eating even more food, and that they didn’t charge for getting extra baskets of tortilla chips.

So, for today’s Musings, where are we getting right, and where are we getting it wrong (note: no political discussions, just social, entertainment, food, etc)? Is the no-stopping-the-toppings culture a bad thing? Should we be limiting ourselves to only one glass of coke rather than three?

I fear these folks are going to get on a plane in a few weeks and require rehab and a diet to recover.

What say you?

Clean, Old-Fashioned Ownership

Here’s a happy Monday visual for you!

We’d be an easy nine in a row if they hadn’t backed out because of COVID, but seven wins in 35 years makes our struggles to Tennessee and Florida pale in comparison to Tech’s epic failure to get a leg up on the Dawgs in the series.

Fear not, Techies, eventually the powers that be in college football will break away, form their own leagues, and you won’t have to play the Bulldogs every year, unless you make the College Football Playoff, amirite?

And if you think they won’t ever make it, they shouldn’t, at least, not until the expand the field to 64 teams.

Message Board Geniuses: We Shoulda Been There

Mississippi State has quickly risen as the cream of the bitter crop this baseball season. Watching their evolution into the Top Tiers of SEC sh*tposters, it started before the Georgia series a few months back and hasn’t abated since.

And now that they’re sitting at home and watching the College World Series from the discomfort of their own homes, thinking they’d be beating Ole Miss on the field or off the field at Rocco’s, they are becoming…well, paranoid.

And they’re quite bitter, to say the least.

“There may be a book written about this someday though” is some fascinating stuff to behold, especially since the only folks in the SEC interested in writing books about shoulda-coulda-woulda’s are the Bobby Hillbillies north of us.

College World Series Game 1 Highlight Reel

Always fun to relive moments like this, so enjoy this with your Monday cup of joe and let’s hope we see more of these over the next couple of weeks.

Caden Aoki gets the call for Game 2 against the Sooners, and will feature Branch on Branch in the matchup.

Game time is 7 pm on ESPN, in case you’re wondering. Given how that’s gone the past few days, maybe it’ll be more like 8 pm.

In case you weren’t aware, our Dawgs are on an epic run, and it’s been a minute since we’ve lost a game, you know?

Go Dawgs!

Joey Volchko, Have a Game

Hopefully you watched a masterpiece last night from Omaha.

It was so good, that fellow Georgia Baseball players changed their Instagram profiles to Joey’s picture.

His first pitch was 96 mph and his last pitch…96 mph. On 117 pitches. I’m thinking he had some adrenaline pumping through him, no?

Meanwhile, it’s nice to know we continue to make the Horns keep pointing down, and down, and down.

Go Dawgs!

Who’s your daddy? – OmaDawgs edition

This appearance can’t have been a good omen for this next version of the “everything school.” Kirby has official visit season going on and still found his way to support the Diamond Dawgs against Texas in Omaha.

Does the entire Texas athletic apparatus wake up in cold sweats when the red & black is on the other sideline?

Oh yeah, we’re the dominant women’s track & field program in the country now, too.

Countdown to Georgia Bulldogs Football, 83 Days

Good morning!

It is 12:08am, Sunday, June 14, 2026 as I type this and Them Diamond Dawgs is Hell, Don’t They? What a performance by Joey Volchko. Complete game, 15 Ks, 1 unearned run. His first complete game and highest strikeout total of his college career. Couldn’t have picked a better time to do it. Dawgs can relax until Monday night when the battle of the Branches will take place as the Dawgs will face Oklahoma in the Winner’s Bracket.

The Diamond Dawgs have made this football offseason very palatable, so far. And, we also have, another Natty:

The heart of the fan is impatient… 83 days until relief arrives.

Here is card #83:

Dude was busy in 1988.

Now, get ya self ready for church!

Go Dawgs!
