Last Night, U[sic]GA?, and ACC Beesball

So last night was fun. Good turnout, and somehow 32 hotdogs and 10 bratwurst got eaten. I'm proud of you guys. Mickey [my dog] escaped from the ordeal only as a tired little dog, but that's fair because he was up way past his normal "bedtime". Drew decided to recreate the awful face-shaking picture bit again, and boy, it was awful. Awfully great. Basically, you let your lips and cheeks go limp, then you shake your head from side to side, allowing air to get in and puff your face up. And you take a picture in mid-shake, and it almost always looks absolutely rediculous. Exhibit A:


Hooray for Drew. 

And of course, we decided to "pose" and make the most rediculous picture that we could. The results are Exhibit B:


I'd say we did pretty well. 

In other news that only I care about, you might not be able to make fun of the University [sic] of Georgia because those boneheads went and lost the trademark and all naming rights OF THE FREAKING SCHOOL. Pathetic. Can I submit my vote to rename it "Clarke County Community College" yet?

Oh, and the rampage continues on. For those counting at home, that's 20 wins in a row for GT's baseball team, which as of this posting, is sitting in the ACC tournament's championship game, waiting for an opponent who would have to beat GT twice to win it. The Yellow Jackets are in the driver's seat, and I like it.

Speaking of ACC sports, I was in a Borders yesterday with Alexandria, and while we were talking I flipped through The Sporting News' ACC Football preview. As usual, GT was picked to flounder this season. Here's the schedule and TSN's predictions:

09/04/04 Samford (W)
09/11/04 @ Clemson (L)
09/18/04 @ North Carolina (W)
10/02/04 Miami (L)
10/09/04 @ Maryland (L)
10/16/04 Duke (W)
10/28/04 Virginia Tech (W)
11/06/04 @ NC State (W)
11/13/04 Connecticut (W)
11/20/04 Virginia (L)
11/27/04 @ Georgia (L)

6-5, 4th place in our division [behind Miami, UVA, and VT], and 8th overall in the ACC. Tech should definitely win against Samford, UNC, Duke, and UConn, though UNC might be tough. Tech will probably lose to Miami, Clemson, and [ugh] Georgia. The games against VT, UVA, and Maryland are up for grabs though - GT and VT square off on Tech's home-turf - ESPN's Thursday night football from Bobby Dodd Stadium - where GT has played more Thursday night games than I'd bet anybody else in the country. That game will be good.
