Because of the dang 18 year-old kid, Josh Harvey-Clemons` granddad not signing his LOI papers really put me in a bad mood, and I still don`t know why. After reading Mark Miller`s column this week I didn`t want to be one of `them`. But, sadly I was.

The first thing I did when I woke up was to turn ESPNU on to see the press conference. I watched it, I mean listened to it all day at work. To make matters worse, the first thing that I did Thursday morning was to grab my cell phone, jump on twitter and see if his LOI was signed by his grandpops.

My wife didn`t find this amusing considering it was her day off and she wanted to cuddle before the day.

Heck, there`s always time for cuddling. Here was the state`s number 1 prospect which could have a say-so on the next four years of our marriage! We`ve only been married for less than two years, but she has GOT to know where the important stuff is.

Speaking of number 1 recruit in the state, despite the low ranking class, UGA managed to get the number 1 state prospect in four states this year. Georgia`s Josh Harvey-Clemons or even Jordan Jenkins according to 247sports and Scout, North Carolina`s Keith Marshall, Sheldon Dawson from Tennessee and John Theus from Florida.

I would have liked to have had O-lineman Avery Young, but he choose Auburn. Dang him.

For the most part I`m happy. This class didn`t have the sparkle as last year, but this team`s needs are different. You have to remember a lot of these kids probably won`t play due to the returning starters, minus the 0-line and running backs. With the left over scholarships, this could lead to a very bright future for the Dawgs over the next few years.

So football officially ends this Sunday night with New England and New York. New York vs Boston. The Rematch. It should be an exciting game to watch, but as much as I love going over to Mark Miller`s house for his great company (and awesome food), I always hate to see this game come around. It is a sad ending to the greatest sport for the season.

Only talks of trades and free agents to get us by the long hot summer. Baseball is ok, but it gets old the 2nd week of April.

But then again, the gates of Sanford Stadium opens on April 14th for the annual G-Day game!

One more thing, Patriots over the Giants by 9.

God bless football! GO DAWGS!
