Stand-up philosopher. Occasional opinions on Georgia history.
Outside of the already mentioned things, favorite little jokes are:
- All the roads being named Peachtree
- The Freaknik sign
- The MARTA bus in front of the stadium at an important video moment.

Queen's A Kind of Magic could be interesting. Red hot off Live Aid, instead of building momentum in the US they lose it completely. The social message song ends on a joke and everything outside of Who Wants to Live Forever is cheesy at best.

Brits ate up this AND The Miracle.

Though Brown v. Board was massive, the Americus city school system in Carter's native Sumter County did not integrate until 1964.

That was early for the South. I don't have a date on Sumter's county system, but imagine it was probably 1965 or 1966.

Carter's rise from Democratic primary loser in 1966 - he had previously been a state rep to the White House in 10 years is wild, especially considering how the political climate.

By climate, I mean Sumter County, Civil Rights, school integration, Georgia, 1968, America. What a ride.

In 1991, three generations of Carays did an intro for a Cubs-Braves game.

This was the season that Atlanta put nicknames on the backs of the jerseys. Knucksie, Cannon, J Bird, Rufus, Bird Dog, etc. That opened the door to claim Messersmith's was Channel.

Turner did this for attention. Messersmith then switched to Bluto.

Friday Flashback: Back in 1976, the Atlanta Braves didn't make headlines for their stellar play, but they did for scrapping last names on their jerseys and going with nicknames instead.

Really fun game. MSU had ZERO penalties and they each had two actual drives in the 1st half.

5 TDs for VSU's Alfonso Franklin but it was arguably a 62-yard punt to the 4 that ended Minnesota State. Everybody knew it was a game-changer and the crowd ooh-ed as it came off his foot.

I saw Abram play during his D2 stint. He wasn't a star.

Also, I have no shame:

Final four are Ferris State, Valdosta State, Minnesota State and Slippery Rock. Re-seed is tomorrow night.
Today's games were all blowouts except Minnesota State edging Bemidji State.
