Dear Diary,

I was thinking about ol’ Larry and how much I miss hearing his calls, especially for the big games.

But this is Hate Week, so here’s some hatin’, a 2-for-1 special!

Gary Danielson’s greatest call

“Uh-oh.”

Gary, for once, nailed it.

Many of us have seen (or owned on VHS) the “Larry Munson’s Greatest Calls Volumes 1, 2, and 3”.

Gary would have one volume, and it would contain only this play.

Shut up, Gary.

Dear Diary,

(Lord, I apologize to Mrs. Browning for what I’ve done to her lovely sonnet: )

How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways

I hate thee to the depth and breadth and height

My bulldog soul can reach, when feeling the score is tight

For the endzone’s being an ideal place.

I hate thee to the level of gameday’s

Most hateful need, by sun or stadium light

I hate thee freely, as bulldawgs strive for a bite

I hate thee purely, as they run their plays

I hate thee with the passion for abuse

In my old griefs, with my childhood’s faith.

I hate thee with a hate I will not lose

With my lost games. I hate thee with the breath,

The piles, tears, of all my life; and if Kirby choose,

I shall but hate thee better after death.

This Melville quote from Star Trek II works for Tech, too. Especially Tech, but I’m getting ahead of myself, dear Diary

(This isn’t the sign on I-75, that one is your standard-issue green government sign)

Dear Diary,

Mrs. Dawglicious has wondered why I refer to our reptilian adversaries as the “Handbags of Hogtown”. I could answer the handbags part easily, but really didn’t know why our GTPR community has called Gainesville “Hogtown”.

Last week, we were traveling back from Orlando on the I-75 through enemy territory* when I saw the tiny sign labeled “Hogtown Creek” by the bridge. I pointed excitedly and showed her as we hurtled by.

You learn something every day!

*We do not make pit stops in Hogtown. Family has been instructed to hold it until we get to Ocala.
