Georgia Bulldogs 45, Auburn Tigers 7: Christmas Comes Early to Bulldog Nation
The worst thing I can say about November 12, 2011, is that it wasn’t November 10, 2007. I arrived home from Athens and went straight to work, first, on the Mark Richt Victory Watch, and, next, on this posting, so I haven’t had time to read anything posted at the site since 11:00 Eastern Saturday...
To All Those Who Have Served Or Are Serving, Thank You
Pardon me as I now interrupt the generally carefree state that is BRB. There will be more Texans "analysis" throughout this beautiful Friday, but I have to take a moment to recognize those who do something infinitely more important than what we do here. Today is Veterans Day. Back in 1919, Woodrow...

Happy Veterans Day!
To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her...
Happy Veteran's Day
My grandfather fought at Iwo Jima in 1945. My uncle was in Vietnam in the late-1960s. My cousin was a Marine just after the first Gulf War. My father, while not a war veteran, served in the Peace Corps early in its inception. So, though he did not fight in a war (he was a pacificst), he did serve...
Remembrance Day
Being an American who follows the Leafs from his home in New England I get an interesting look into the subtle cultural differences between the Northeast and Canada. To be honest there's less of a difference between being in Massachusetts and Ontario than there is between Massachusetts and Arizona,...
