2+4=6

Knowshon is a scoring machine. Give him the ball and most of the time he is good for 6. Our defense is still suspect, so it is a good thing we have this beast in the backfield. Keep doing your thing Knowshon.

It is too bad Kno(limit)shon didn't start from game 1. He is only 600 yards away from Herschel's freshman record. Just imagine if he had more carries during those first 3 to 4 games. He still has an outside shot, but he will have to average over 200 a game for the next 3. Due up: Auburn, Kentucky and the Techies. I believe we can win out and have a possible shot at another SEC Title. It will be tough, but I think we can do it.

You're about to see a whole lot of #24 Urban

Man, Mark is a great guy. Here he is telling Urban how this game is gonna go. Check out Urban smirking in disbelief.

Georgia finally came out and showed some heart. I wasn't sure if they had this type of performance in them. I told Jess I expected to squeak out a win or to get worked like a part time job in a blowout. I hope you all enjoyed watching this great game as much as I did.

Take in some of the pictures that were taken during and following the game. Truly awesome!

We'll be in top-10 after this Vic


Kno Limit, I thought I told ya....



Whoa, that was my wife dog... I don't play that










This is what I am talking about

Our lovely home


















A HUGE event in our lives that occurred JUST before my oral comprehensive exams was the selling of our home. Our lovely, wonderful, comfortable home into which we (along with family and friends) had poured so much time, energy, money, and love. We only lived here for 4 short years, but we loved it so much. Many of you were unable to come visit us way out in old Crawford, so I thought I'd give you guys a virtual tour, while allowing myself time to reminisce.

Kno Limit Solja AND Quotin' my boy Cube

I was telling Jess from day 1 this kid was a beast. Instead of giving these defenders stiff arms he is giving them the John Cena (waving hand in front of his face meaning you can't see me) all the way down the field. You know I am just kidding. I can't stand these guys doing this everytime I watch a game.

Anyway, Knowshon pretty much carried (no pun intended) our team to victory. This cat needs to carry the rock 25+ times a game.

Just my 2 cents.
Holla,
Brent

"Today was a good day."
I love it when Florida loses. Get ready for that 3 game losing streak.
Three keys to why I believe the Dawgs will finally get another victory in Jacksonville:
1. The Dawgs can never seem to win this game when we are obvioulsy the better team. Now that we are mediocre to average, there should be low expectations. The Dawgs should win because no one will give them a chance.
2. We usually win when we have a bye week before this game.
C. I'm tired of losing to these Jort wearing punks.
Cool points for those that laughed when they saw the letter C instead of the number 3.
Anyway, I'm out.

Stop playing that stupid song!

As many of you know, this was an all too familiar site during the UGA vs UT game. I don't know if I was annoyed by our lack of anything or the fact that all I heard all game long was that stupid Rocky Top song.

Anyway, I suspect that this year will end up much like last season. We just lack that killer instinct that is needed to be a dominant team. I believe this starts with our coaches. Namely, Martinez and Bobo. I think Bobo's play calling is alright sometimes, but how many times are we going to run that same draw play? It is a good thing Moreno is a beast. That cat seems to always make something out of nothing.

On defense, I don't understand how Willie can continuously run some version of a zone defense. How many times does a team have to pick us apart before a light turns on and we try something else?

Anyway, these are just my thoughts on the Dawgs. I will post the Vandy pic soon and some thoughts on that game. Hope everyone is doing well.

Peace,

Brent

The pets (and Jonathan)


During this crazy crazy summer, one of the exciting events was when Brent landed his new job. So, in the midst of moving and getting ready for my comps, we decided to celebrate. Jonathan got one of B's old vending shirts and ripped it to shreds as you can tell. I encouraged him to wear it out to eat with us to Outback, and believe me, we got some stares. But how awesome it was to rip it up and be DONE with that job.
As you can see, Napoleon got a little supercat cape from the celebratory shirt ripping as well.








Napoleon quite enjoyed the packing part of the move. There were bags, boxes, and suitcases galore to crawl into and hide, one of his fave things to do. There were also plenty of doors open that were usually closed, as in this laundry room closet door. Nap took this opportunity to crawl into a cozy spot.

I was hanging out over at Kobs, watching "Girlfriends", and we had unexpected company - Javad and Tiffany stopped by with their puppy. She and Cash were instant friends and played so hard the whole time, so much so that we finally had to separate them for fear of waking up the downstairs neighbors.

Brent Update

What up everyone? I figure it has been about a year and some change since I last posted anything. As you have probably guessed, this is around the same time that I left Korea. Anyway, on to the post.

I have been out of the Air Force since January of this year. Times were a little tough for a while because, as many of you know, I worked at a vending company after I officially separated. The hours were terrible and the money was even worse. I don't know how I dealt with that job for 6 months. More importantly, I don't know how Jess dealt with me dealing with that job for 6 months. I complained a lot and I was exhausted at all times of the day. That all changed in July when I finally got a job offer from Plum Creek.

Plum Creek is a Timber Company very similar to Georgia Pacific. I work in the IT department and I am directly involved in the Supply Chain Managment portion of the company. The job is awesome and the people that I work with are very cool.

On the sports front- my San Antonio Spurs won their 4th Championship. And now, it is UGA football time again. The Dawgs haven't looked very good this season, but they are currently 3-1. We could have easily been 4-0, but what can you do? They should have done this, they should have done that. I still believe they have a legitimate shot of winning the rest of our games and possibly making the SEC Championship. Yeah, I know, Florida is looking pretty good but I still don't think they are much better than us. Their defense is suspect. However, I think LSU is a whole different can of worms. They are pretty deep on both sides of the ball. Given that, I still think we will beat these fools come December.

Well, I have rambled enough this evening. I have been trying to type and watch WWE with Jess this entire time. I think she started to watch this crap to give me a hint that it is time for bed. Anyway, I will post a new captioned picture next week when the Dizawgs are 4-1.

Later,
B

Got Em'




Wallace Gilberry said: "I don't know anything about him (Stafford). But after the game Saturday, I can tell you anything you want to know -- his birthday, his telephone number, his home address. I'm serious, because I will know.
"I've got to know where to send the flowers after the game."
Wallace, you know better than to talk smack. Did you get any of the information that you said you would get? All I know is, Stafford is upset he hasn't received your flowers yet. I told him I would remind you and give you his contact information. His address is:

Holla at me if you need any further information.

The dreaded birthday


Last-minute birthday celebration in July at On the Border, one of my fave places to eat...its a cheese dip thing, and if you don't like cheese dip, then you won't understand.
And when I say last-minute, I mean it - it wasn't finalized until that afternoon...that is how I roll these days, though I'm trying to get back to the planning, since I am much more sane and productive that way.

We are about to break into the homemade Red Velvet Cake made especially for me by my friend Colby. It was AWESOME!!!! I definitely did not want to share.

The prom picture :) Will, Jason, Colby, Susan, Kobs, me, and B

And now the crazy picture - these are always fun.
Thank you all for making this (dreaded) birthday so special. Thanks also to all of the cards and gift certificates I rec'd from others - I look forward to the books, coffee, and fondue that I get to enjoy in the near future as a result of your generosity.

Baby dedication



Baby dedication of Reese (in July). For those of you who are unsure what this means, here is a little info:
This is different from baptism, which signifies and is a public declaration of salvation. It is a time when parents and family of the baby or child stand before God and the church and publicly commit to provide a Christian home for their child.

The crew - its so great to be able to go to church and fellowship with your family - definitely something I have missed.

Aren't they beautiful? (The only acceptable answer to that question is YES!)



Chas is just a little too big for the carrier now :) But he and my handsome handsome are really trying to make it work...

Aunt Irene comes to visit


Aunt Irene usually comes to visit my mom for a week during the summer. This year, Mom and I wanted to pamper her, so we took her for a mani and pedi at our favorite place, and then to a hair styling afterwards. She LOVED it...she was "tickled pink", I guess you could say.



Who is who? Can you tell whose toes these are? One is me, the other is mom. We were having a contest to see which of us would have the cutest decoration on our toes, and I'm pretty sure she won. Mom and I just got pedi's last week as well, and she definitely won! My toe decoration was so bad that I had to go get it removed and redone the next day. The nice lady tried to do a super-G for the DAWGS on my toe, but it was a flop - definitely not super. And it smeared too when she put the clear coat on! Anyway...just talking about things that really don't matter :)
