Hopefully this is no reflection on our feelings toward daddy's alma mater

(By Erik)

Actually, this is karma in action. Yesterday I said, "Seems like she hasn't spit up much since she was born."

While we're on the subject of UGA, in all the excitement of Maggie's arrival I didn't get a chance to brag/gloat about the Bulldogs' final standing of No. 2 in the AP poll. Nor did I get to brag about my No. 2 finish in the College Bowl Pick 'Em game that Bobby set up back in November.

I did a pretty lousy job picking the winners up until the end of the year, but I finished strong because I picked the winners of all five BCS bowls. (Yes, sports fans, that means I picked West Virginia over our beloved Sooners. I had to go with history on that one — plus I remember what the Mountaineers did to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl two years ago. Not a pleasant memory.)

ESPN also picked Georgia as the preseason No. 1 for 2008. That's a mixed blessing — an accolade on par with the "Best New Artist" Grammy. It means you'll never be heard from again. Re: Hootie and the Blowfish) But I'm confident my Bulldogs will rise to the challenge — or at least make it an interesting college football season.

Nice! I think spit-up is no respecter of persons or teams. But it will ruin your sofa.
