A rather slow day ....in the sports world......but.....
We think......the world wide leader (ESPN) did one heck of a job....in the 24 straight hours of college basketball to jump start the season.
The University of Georgia basketball team.....is .....well.....just not that good. Last night they lost to a mid major team (Wofford).....at home.
The University of Georgia football team is a 9 point favorite against Kentucky. This team has not beaten a quality team.......all year....by more than 7......Does Vegas know something?
I know it's early.......but these Atlanta Hawks...are sure looking good.
Finally......from our friends at "on-this-day.com":

1951 - Chuck Connors (Los Angeles Angels) became the first player to oppose the major league draft. Connors later became the star of the television show "The Rifleman."
