January 20, 2024: You have been through a patch where everything seems difficult if not impossible to accomplish, but you have learned some lessons in this period of time. You have learned that frustration only makes things worse and that patience is a virtue. And, that if you will quiet your soul, you can find the Spirit and get divine help and guidance. Psalm 119:105-107 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws. I have suffered much; preserve my life, Lord, according to your word.

Thank you for these. My dad passed this week. Funeral is tomorrow. We will miss dad, but we’re also thankful he’s done with his fight with dementia. I’m honestly tired, and I have no patience for people right now.

See, this is BS... why would they put two SEC teams in the same region already...

Maybe you should look at the brackets. All four regions have two SEC teams projected.

Retired?

Just from the Army reserves. No benefits until I'm 60. At the rate things are going, I'll be working until I'm 95

Said it earlier, but the Downs family has hard feelings with UGA. Richt fired his uncle years back and then the recruitment of his brother just cemented the situation.

Not even the TRob hire could smooth this out.

I wonder what the stats show about which technique is better…. He teaches to turn around if even…..rake down the arms if trailing….. Banks is a DB coach so I am sure he could change it if he didn’t agree with it.

Hard to imagine there are 2 different philosophies being taught in the secondary from DBs to safeties.

January 20, 1982...........Des Moines, Iowa

Ozzy Osborne bites the head off a bat during a concert on his Diary of a Madman tour.

He thought a fan had thrown a fake rubber bat onstage, and it wasn’t until he chomped into the flying mammal that he realized it was real. Ozzy even claims he felt the bat twitch in his mouth as he bit down on its neck.

“I get a lot of weird people at my concerts, it’s rock ’n’ roll," Ozzy told David Letterman in 1982. "Somebody threw a bat onstage and I thought it was one of these toy bats, so I picked it up, bite the thing’s head off and suddenly everybody is freaking out ... I can assure you the rabies shots I went through afterwards aren’t fun.”

“The taste of bats is very salty,” Ozzy explained. “It tastes of salt.” After the host asked if it tasted like anything else, Ozzy replied, “Well, yes, but I can’t really say that on the air, can I?”

The bat thrower revealed himself in 1982 -- the same year the concert took place. The man’s name? Mark Neal.

Neal was 17 years old when he tossed the bat onstage that night. It was something he’d planned to do, and even told his close friends about before embarking to the Ozzy Osbourne concert.

“We were telling everybody before the concert that we were bringing a bat,” Carmen Martin-Kelly, a friend of Neal’s, revealed. “Hell or high water, we were gonna get it in and throw the bat up onstage. We brought a whole bunch of friends who used to sit together in Section 22, so when Mark was headed up towards the stage, I told him to wait a few minutes so I could get up there and tell everybody that Mark’s getting ready to throw the bat up onstage.”

Mark Neal himself added, “We got right down in front, right in front of Rudy Sarzo, the bass player. I tossed [the bat] up onstage and it landed in front of him. He kinda looked at it a couple of times and motioned Ozzy over. Ozzy came over, picked it up, and the rest is history.”

Downs to UGA made no sense to me. Their DB room is loaded, note all the highly rated backup portalers. And the returning starter at FS was a redshirt sophomore who was #2 in the state the year before Downs was #1 so I’m no sure, as talented as he is, it was a significant upgrade or definite starter role, it likely would have upset the DB room with more transfers..

Cool story but…
I’m not convinced Ozzy recalls much about that night or any of his concerts for that matter. I’m sure someone had to tell him what happened the next day…
