Does anyone know if there will be alcohol sold at the game? I know they didn't in 2011/12 but was hoping this had changed since then or with the move to Mercedes-Benz. Or is it an SEC rule stopping sales?

UGA plays at Mizzou every two years. That's our trip north.

Congrats. Were the lottery winners for just tournament badges selected or have they done practice round tickets too?

And yes, stay in the room with him. It's tough, but he'll be scared and you owe it to him to be there to soothe him.

THIS. We were very lucky in that our vet made house calls. So we at least were able to do it in a private place where my dog was comfortable and he didn't have to get nervous about being at the vet. When the time comes and if you feel like that's a good option, it wouldn't hurt to ask. Not sure if these Atlanta vets will do it but our south GA one would.

I'm not "foaming at the mouth" to say something about the 14th Amendment, you're just wrong on the law. Regardless of how the 14th Amendment was ratified, or the 13th and 15th for that matter, it is the law until repealed. So, yes, the 2nd Amendment does apply to Georgia, just like the protections given to freedom of speech, assembly, quartering troops, freedom against unreasonable search and seizures, etc. You can't personally nullify the 14th Amendment because you don't agree with the circumstances under which it was ratified.

I never said viewed together that the Constitution and amendments are "seamless [and] uncontradictory." But, they are amendments, meaning they alter the original document and become effectively a part of it. They are read together. Just like corollaries to wills and contracts. It may not be semantics in your view and, yes, the Bill of Rights and subsequent amendments were drafted in different circumstances, but it doesn't change the fact they have to be read together.

If you say the 14th Amendment is illegitimate, a charade, a fraud, you start arguing what you wish was the case, not what is actually the case. The fact of the matter is, it is in place and has been consistently applied by federal and state courts. Saying the 2nd Amendment only applies to the federal government is simply not true. Georgia cannot bar all guns in its borders anymore than they can muzzle suspected Democrats and socialists from speaking in public.

The Georgia Constitution cannot directly contradict federal substantive law. That's great that Georgia's constitution protects the right to bear arms. But it isn't creating a new right for Georgia citizens, it is reaffirming one already guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. State constitutions can establish law/policy where that power does not rest in the federal government. Your point regarding the Georgia Constitution would be valid in 1867, but has not been right since 1868 when the 14th Amendment was ratified.

I'm definitely not saying that staff/professors, etc. should not be allowed to carry. I'm just saying prohibiting it does not go against the 2nd Amendment. Two separate issues.

What gets lost in this entire thing is that not allowing people to carry on college campuses is not a "restriction" of 2nd Amendment rights, it is a reaffirmation of the status quo that has been in existence at UGA and other state schools since their founding. The 2nd Amendment has always been curtailed on government property, both state and federal, and schools, both primary and colleges. The constitutionality of this has been reaffirmed by Scalia, one of the most conservative justices in recent memory. These restrictions are in place in so many states that are considered conservative, 2nd Amendment-protecting states, including several that we share a border with. What we have seen recently is an expansion by states of the historic parameters of 2nd Amendment rights, a lot of it a good expansion.

But not agreeing to carrying on college campuses is not an attack on 2nd Amendment rights. It is not a precursor to someone coming to take our guns. I think Deal made a good point when he quoted Jefferson and Madison regarding their stance on guns at UVA, two folks responsible for the Constitution. If you adhere to a strict, originalist interpretation of the Constitution, you have to give weight to their stance. They didn't see it as an abridgment of the 2nd Amendment to restrict guns in this aspect.

Same guy in my office that told me about Kirby, no Pruitt etc. that gets his info through his booster friend gave me a couple bits today. Said Eason has confirmed his commitment. Also said that Nauta was a done deal after this past weekend.

He's head coach for Colquitt County in Georgia. #1 ranked high school in 6A.

Some might argue that Auburn isn't much better. LF averaged 5.11 yards before contact that game. Credit a bad Auburn defense and a good LSU o-line. Not that hard to have a huge game when you can run halfway to a first down before getting touched.
