Let's Do it Again

We wanted to let our One Old Dawg subscribers know about a video CBS sports will be playing sometime today. They reached out to us this week and asked permission to use a newspaper image from One Old Dawg that came from a stockpile his mother saved. We included it in the post, "Ganging up on Spurrier in 1966 and Heating up the Gator Fryer in 2016."

The video includes a grainy snippet from the 1966 Georgia-Florida game in which Lynn Hughes intercepts a Steve Spurrier pass.

So hopefully you can get to the video by following the link HERE on facebook.

We're ready for a win today just like in '66 so as always, Go DAWGS!!!

Stay well dear friends.

Correction

For some reason, there was a glitch on our last post on email and the video did not attach. You can always click on the title of a post to get to the web version but in case you didn't know that, click HERE for the video from One Old Dawg.

One Old Dawg with a message of encouragement

Because of the extraordinary circumstances we face in these days from the corona virus spread, One Old Dawg recorded a message of encouragement. It was initially for our church family, but we decided our One Old Dawg subscribers might also like to view it.

We would like to extend our sympathy to the family of Georgia letterman, Kent Lawrence, who passed this week. One Old Dawg enjoyed his time spent with Kent Lawrence when they were teammates on the 1966 SEC championship team. He will be greatly missed and always remembered as a great player on the field and and an outstanding judge in the state court, a police chief in our community, and as an advocate for those who struggled with addiction.

God bless you all.

Who's writing this here blog?

Well, it used to be that One Old Dawg would rather be flogged than blog, but gradually he's gotten used to the idea. One Old Dawg’s wife, Beverly Varnado, still helps him out. She’s not old. He married a MUCH younger woman. She thought somebody ought to get down these stories One Old Dawg has been telling for decades. And though she said she’d never do it, she’s become his administrative assistant following him around with a notepad and recorder. One Old Dawg has always hoped this would happen. ~sigh~ She’s also plundering a cardboard box of memorabilia his mama saved and taking out straight pins that have held newspaper clippings together for fifty years. Thank you Mama Varnado for such a wealth of material. You can also catch Beverly on her personal blog, One Ringing Bell, her website http://www.beverlyvarnado.com/, or pick up one of her books, Home to Currahee, or Give My Love to the Chestnut Trees.
