THE BUCK(MAN) STOPS HERE: Groans from the Greeks

By on February 17, 2012

Several days ago, the Red & Black’s Twitter account was hit with a grave accusation: “The Red & Black hates Greek life and UGA sports.” Um, what?

By on February 17, 2012

No one wakes up one day and knows calculus. Let’s be real, I’m 21-years-old and I still don’t know calculus. Sports knowledge is no different. Well, except for all those numbers. Really knowing sports is something that takes years of bonding with ESPN and that screaming drunk guy at the bar to accomplish. As much [...]

SEC regular season title race going down to wire

By on February 15, 2012

Last year, Tennessee went undefeated and won the Southeastern Conference by five games. That won’t happen this year. With four games left in the regular season, seven teams still have a mathematical chance to claim a regular season championship. In the 2010-2011 season, the Georgia women’s basketball finished third in the conference with a 10-6 [...]

Lady Dogs’ James happy to ‘get back into the swing of things’
