This awesome article by Joe Kovac describes the 6 reasons to love football (especially college football) - tradition, schedule, theater, characters, passion, and party. Hopefully my classmates out here at KU will read this and understand my excitement over college football a little more.

Georgia Tech Football in Star Wars Terms

Ahh, I love it. The nerds are at it again. This might be the only way the nerds can understand football.

The best part is that the creator can’t even do the math:

He put all that time into this video and forgot that the University of Georgia has dominated this series since 2001. That is 7, count it SEVEN, years in a row.

Does that remind you of this great play that ended the Alabama game?

Tech Hopes To White Out, Not Wet Their Pants

Georgia Sports Blog on Georgia Tech’s announcement that their first home football game this fall will be a “white out” against Mississippi State:

Imagine the shock of the Tech fans as they enter Bobby Dodd Stadium only to find:

-30,000 Tech Fans
-15,000 Mississippi State fans
-10,000 Empty Seats
-5,000 Cow Bells

And those engineers think Georgia Bulldawg’s are obnoxious, just let them wait for the cow bells.

Student Paper Threatens Students

The University of Georgia’s independent, student-run newspaper is threatening students. Today they ran an open letter to parents saying they would again post mug shots on the front page of students charged with alcohol related violations before classes start. Maybe a good response to this would be a student boycott of the Red and Black.

Becoming a Jayhawk

Finally I know where I will be after graduating in May from the University of Georgia.

I am going to be a University of Kansas Jayhawk!

Friday afternoon I was informed that I had been admitted to the Master’s of Public Administration program at the University of Kansas.

And I couldn’t have been more excited.

Four years ago, I wanted to go to law school. I made the decision to attend the University of Georgia for undergrad, knowing that I could have gone to “big name” schools. I decided to save money and attend an in-state school where I would receive free tuition (HOPE Scholarship). I would save money to go to the best graduate school (law, at the time) I could get into.

KU is known for its city management program, the field I wish to enter after graduate school.

So when I got into KU, the best school (by far) for city management, the decision was a no-brainer.

I’m proud to say I will be attending the University of Kansas, where I will start in June (the MPA program starts at the beginning of the summer). I am a nervous (and a little scared) about moving so far away from home (and so soon, the beginning of June), but I know I can survive.

Posting might be a little light around here for the next month or so (or maybe I will do the usual and post on here to procrastinate). I’ve got to finish classes at Georgia, take finals, graduate, get packed up, move to Lawrence, get settled in, and become a Jayhawk.

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk!
