Georgia Bulldog Fan Flashing Walmart Customers

An alleged Georgia Bulldog fan is allegedly flashing customers at a North Georgia Walmart.

How do we know he is a UGA fan?  In a Walmart security photo, he is shown wearing a Georgia Bulldog t-shirt and hat.

This is a story that ran on the incident on WSB's website and in the AJC:

Police are looking for a man who exposed himself to a shopper at a Walmart in Dalton.

Investigators released a surveillance photo of the suspect as he entered the store on Shugart Road last Thursday evening.

A woman told police she was in the shoe department when a man got her attention and exposed himself. The man then walked away and met another woman, who he left with after making a purchase, police said.

Police are looking for the man, seen wearing plaid shorts, a gray T-shirt, Georgia Bulldogs hat and sandals. He drove away in a light-colored Ford Focus. Anyone with information about the case is urged to call the Dalton Police Department.

Here's the photo:

What was he doing in the shoe department?  Looking for some pumps, or one of those sliding measuring devices that are supposed to be used for measuring feet?  Looks like you need to be care shopping in Walmarts in Georgia.  First syringes, now flashers.

And I'm not even going to make a joke that he was running the "naked bootleg."

The World Famous Possum Drop

There's still time to hoof it on down to Tallapoosa, GA and the annual Possum Drop.

You've seen the ball drop, the peach drop and vaious other "drops", but chances are you haven't seen the Possum Drop.

If you can get to Tallapoosa, you can watch it all on a Ustream feed this year.

The link and all the info is on..

Happy New Year!  Everyone.

College Football Play of the Day for 11/12/11: Auburn

One day removed from 11/11/11, it's a big day for college football.

Two old rivals meet today in Athens, GA.  Georgia and Auburn. 

Georgia is on a tear, winning seven straight games.  They need this win to almost wrap up the SEC East title.  Auburn is 6-3, but only 1-3 on the road.

The problem is Georgia is handing Auburn way too many points with the 13-point line.

I know it's not the same Auburn team as last year, but they are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 conference games. 

Georgia is 3-9 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, not great.

In the end, I like Georgia to win the game, but not by 13.  Take Auburn and the points.

Snakes on a Highway

Georgia wildlife officials are investigating after 10 snakes and three lizards were found in a car during a traffic stop on Interstate 75 north of Atlanta.

Authorities say Cherokee County sheriff's deputies pulled the car over on Interstate 75 Monday.

An Indiana driver had 10 snakes and three different lizard species in the car.

The snakes were determined not to be venomous.  The species included corn, coachwhip, pine, king andSouthern hognose snakes - all native to Georgia - plus a rosy boa, a non-native snake.

Authorities said the driver told them he caught the snakes in Florida and was taking them to Indiana. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also is investigating why this was taking place.

Georgia and Boise St. Kick Off the Tennis Season Before Football

 

Yes, that's right, as a prelude to the Georgia/Boise St. Kick Off Classic Football game that will be played Saturday night at the sold out Georgia Dome, the men's tennis teams from the two schools took to the court in a little more quiet environment at the Atlanta Athletic Club to play some tennis.

Four singles, and two doubles matches were contested.

Each team won three matches.

2. Scott Sears/James Meredith (BSU) def. Eric Diaz/Nathan Pasha (UGA), 8-6

SINGLES

3. Nathan Sereke (BSU) def. Eric Diaz (UGA), 6-2, 4-6, 6-3
4. Nathan Pasha (UGA) def. Aidan Reid (BSU), 6-0, 6-2

Georgia features Wil Spencer.  Spencer is one of the top college players in the country and Boise's James Meredith is a fine player in his own right.  Also, I expect big things this year and in the future from Georgia freshman, Nathan Pasha, what a debut from him.
