How's It Hangin? Vol. VIII

Whew, it’s been a busy week. Once again, I’m barely getting enough time to read about everything that’s goin’ on, much less write about it.

The week that was...................

UGA Football
106 days till kickoff. True freshmen start hitting campus in 2 weeks to start their strength & conditioning program.

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

UGA Baseball
UGA has clinched the #1 seed for the SEC Tourney beginning May 21st. The Dawgs lost last Friday to Vandy, but rallied to take the next 2. Throw in a win at Turner Field over Georgia Tech, and we finished the week 3-1. Yesterday’s game vs. Bama was rained out, so we’ll play 2 today beginning @ 3:00 pm. We wrap up the regular season tomorrow @ 2. As of this minute, UGA is 34-17-1 overall with a 19-7-1 conference mark. We have a 4.5 game lead in the SEC East over 2nd place Vandy with 3 games remaining. UGA’s first game in the SEC Tourney will be on Wednesday @ 3 pm at Regions Park in Hoover, Alabama.

Atlanta Braves
Two weeks ago…..6-0. Last week 2-5. Hot & cold. It’s hard to be consistent with all of the injuries and young guys that the Braves are plugging into the lineup on a daily basis. Chipper keeps bangin’ out hits to the tune of a .418 average and Smoltz is almost ready to return from the DL. The Braves are currently at .500 with a record of 20-20, 3 games behind NL East leader Florida.Atlanta HawksEliminated in 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs. 15th overall pick in the ’08 draft.

Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons had their first practices for the new coach last weekend. Among those getting back into the action was DJ Shockley. The news is that he’s understandably rusty, but at least the knee held up ok.

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