How's it Hangin Vol. IX

It's been eleven days since the last time I posted an update, so here's the extended week that was...........

UGA Football
When the clock reached 0:00 at the Sugar Bowl, it was an agonizing 241 days till opening day 2008. That’s been whittled down to 95 as of today and in that perspective, it doesn’t sound as bad. There has been some recruiting news lately, you can pick that up here. True freshmen start hitting campus this week to start their strength & conditioning program.

UGA Basketball
2008 SEC TOURNAMENT CHAMPS !! Practice cranks back up in October. The 2008 recruiting class is full. Recruiting news here.

UGA Baseball
2008 SEC CHAMPS !! By now, everyone knows that our regular season success didn’t carry over to the SEC Tournament. 2 games played, 2 losses, & we’re out. UGA did however land the #8 seed in the NCAA tourney and will host a regional featuring UGA 35-21-1, Georgia Tech 39-19 (not a good draw for the Dawgs), Louisville 41-19, and Lipscomb 32-28. The regional is double elimination and the Dawgs open play vs Lipscomb on Friday. As the eighth seed, UGA would also be in line to host a super regional should they advance.

Atlanta Braves
The Braves have played 10 games since I last checked in going 7-3 in the process, including a 4 game sweep of the METS. They split 4 games with NL West Leading Arizona over the holiday weekend. The Braves hit the road for 3 games in Milwaukee and 3 in Cincy. Currently the Braves are 28-23, 2 games behind NL East leading Florida.

Atlanta Hawks
Eliminated in 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs. 15th overall pick in the ’08 draft.

Atlanta Falcons
Matt Ryan gets 6 years, $72 million…..that’s a joke. Enuf said.

Atlanta Thrashers
Have the 3rd overall pick in the draft coming in June.

Unfortunately, the Suns get Atlanta's 15th pick (I guess from the Joe Johnson trade). At least ATL made it to the playoffs and gave Boston a good run.
