Georgia Tech 45...Georgia 42

Yes...Virgil...There Is A Santa Clause


I missed their performance on TV because we were blasting through the rain in the Chrysler 300 moving across Northwest Georgia and Eastern Tennessee, but through the reception of scratchy AM and FM radio signals I managed to follow as my beloved, yet often neglected, Yellow Jacket football team overcome a 16 point halftime deficit to score 26 points in the third quarter and go on to pick up a total of 33 in the second half in order to...

TOTALLY SHUT UP THE OBNOXIOUS BULLDOG FANS FOR THE NEXT 364 DAYS, AND EVEN BETTER...

TOTALLY SCREW UP THE ARROGANT BULLDOGS POST SEASON BOWL PROSPECTS.

Unfortunately, Tech's three losses--all in the ACC Conference--included one to Virginia Tech which managed to eek past Virginia in their state rivalry so Tech has to sit home next weekend while unranked VT plays either Florida State (whom Tech already beat) or Boston College down in Tampa next weekend.

In another year with a few extra dollars in my pocket (and a lot more time on my hands) I would have shown up down there (in Tampa) if Tech had made the cut, but as things stand now it's going to be all I can do to get through the next week's schedule.

After all, there are only a few "normal" work weeks left before we're off on this year's epic holiday expedition to visit The King's home at Graceland, hang out on Beale Street for a few minutes, then on to Kansas City for Christmas, finally coming home through St. Louis for a night on our way back this way.

I'm just ready for the next four days to be over with so things will assume a somewhat "normal" appearances...

...if things ever really are "normal" here on the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River.

(Hope ya'll all had Splendid Holidays...ours ended up being a little damp in more ways than one...)
