It has been a long 29 hours here in Athens, GA. It started last night with a high school football game (the first I have been to in 30 years or so), then an unusual cross country meet this morning, followed by a wake for a neighbor's son this afternoon, and ending with tonight's 3 hour and 55 minute marathon South Carolina - Georgia football game between the hedges at Sanford Stadium.

Needless to say, I am beat. I will write more tomorrow about the game, as well as post a couple of interviews with CBS Sports' Tony Barnhart and ESPN's Joe Schad. For now, let me throw some "By the Numbers" stuff your way from tonight's 41 -37 victory by Georgia..
