PANAMA CITY, Fla. � It�s time to get ready for another great season of Georgia Football!

The 2005 SEC Champion University of Georgia Bulldogs will start their season on September 1 against Oklahoma State, but until then it�s never too early to start calling the Dawgs.

Enjoy food, fellowship, and football with the Emerald Coast UGA Club on Friday, August 24, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. at Calypso Beach Caf� in Panama City Beach. Get to know other Georgia fans, talk football, and learn about the club and our future events.

All UGA fans and alumni are welcome. The cost for dinner is $10.

Our special guest will be former All-American Quarterback Edmund �Zeke� Bratkowski, who led the Dawgs from 1951-1953. He set several Georgia, SEC, and NCAA passing records before entering the NFL Draft in 1953. He played in the NFL for 14 years with Chicago, Los Angeles, and Green Bay, where he was instrumental in helping the Packers win world championships in 1965-1967. His time in the NFL was followed by a coaching career lasting more than 25 years.

For too many years, I was present for all of the Athens Bulldog Club dinners. I always enjoyed listening to the speakers. In which direction from Pier Park and on which street is Calypso's?

A south Georgia farmer and avid Dawg fan dies and, being a heathen, goes to Hell. When he gets there it's 95� with 90% humidity. But Satan notices he's kicked back on the brimstone relaxing comfortably. Satan asks, "Why aren't you miserable like everyone else here?" The farmer replies, "Oh, this is like a warm spring day in south Georgia. I like it." Angry, Satan turns up the thermos until it's 100� and 95% humidity. Still, the farmer's happy. "This is like a good June day on the farm. Not bad at all." Furious, Satan turns it up to 105�and 99% humidity. Everyone else in hell is totally miserable, except the south Georgia farmer still laying there resting. "Hey, this is like a good August day on the farm bailing hay. Feels good." "The hotter the better."

In a total rage, Satan turns the thermostat down to minus 25�F. Within seconds, the air becomes chilly and frost appears, soon followed by solid ice everywhere. Satan smirks, watching the farmer's reaction. The confused farmer looks down at the frozen ground for a moment, suddenly jumps up excitedly, looks around everywhere, realizes that Hell has frozen over, and begins to laugh, jump for joy and scream...

"Georgia beat Florida! Georgia beat Florida! Georgia beat Florida!"

Nohall, you best be careful talking like that in north Georgia. You are living in the heart of Bulldog Country. If you are lucky, some of that red and black will rub off on you.
