Project Riverway @ UGA

Project Riverway was a three year project of UGA's Fanning Institute to sustain rural areas along the Chattahoochee River. The Project Riverway exhibit opens on UGA's campus in Caldwell Hall on Tuesday August 26, 2008. The exhibit shows off mainly what the group has done over the last year, but also a little bit from the previous two years.

Associated Press preseason football rankings put UGA at #1

The University of Georgia takes the top spot atop the AP preseason football rankings. UGA took no. 1 over Ohio State. The Bulldogs earned the top spot by recieving one more vote than the Buckeyes. This is the first time ever that the Georgia Bulldogs have ever recieved the AP no. 1 spot. The Bulldogs now are no. 1 according to the USA Today's Coaches poll, the AP poll, and by the Sports Illustrated rankings. Besides the high ratings the Bulldogs are not used to there are other issues surrounding the season that could make supersticious folks uneasy. The UGA Chapel Bell which has been wrung after every home win for some time has been taken down over the offseason and refurbished and the bell tower is completly new. It could be blamed for a bad football season as easily as it could for a good one. The bell is not the only thing that could be blamed for the way the season turns out. Don't forget the Bulldogs mascot UGA VI passed away over this past summer. The new mascot, UGA VII, will be welcomed at the Bulldogs home opener against Georgia Southern on Saturday August 30.

My New Friday Night Job

This video is of Mt. Zion High School at Meadow Creek High School (Blue) on August 15, 2008. The game was a full preseason one, but it did not count towards the regular season. Meadow Creek won the game 14-0. I am doing video for Gwinnett County High School varsity football team's every Friday night for the 2008 season. I am really happy with this job and excited every week. I am working for OurVarsity.com which is an awesome company run by some great people. It really is a lot of fun and the kids love it. I will try to post the videos of my games, but you should check out http://www.ourvarsity.com/.

UGA's Chapel Bell Tower To Be Replaced


The University of Georgia's Chapel Bell Tower is being replaced. The UGA Chapel Bell is rung victoriously after every home football victory. The bell was damaged last year and raised questions about the safety of the bell tower. A new tower now awaits to be put in after the old one was removed. The old one dated back to 1913. University officials believed it was no longer sturdy enough to hold the 700-pound bell. While a new tower was being built the bell got refurbished and polished. The whole bell and tower are set to be reassembled on Friday August 15, 2008. A ceremonial first ring of the newly assembled bell will take place at 3 p.m. on Friday.
