Off Topic - Athens Sandwich Shop

Posted by boliep on 6/3/24 at 7:30 am

I am looking for a suggestion for a no-frills sandwich shop—the standard old stuff such as BLT, ham and cheese, etc. Everything I find in looking online is trendy with huge sandwiches that contain almost everything but the kitchen sink.

We are going through town Saturday to visit some friends in North Georgia and planned to stop in Athens for lunch.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

If a player tries that with Kirby, I doubt he will be playing much. That is akin to quitting and we all know how Kirby feels about a quitter.

I don't think I have ever seen a bowl team that was as poorly coached and poorly prepared as Florida was yesterday.

Taken from two Atlanta paper articles.

In part:

1.
No appraisal of the Bulldogs is complete with a Bennett nit-pick. Here’s the latest: After passing for at least 200 yards in the season’s first 10 games, he threw for 116 against Kentucky and 140 against Georgia Tech. He had one interception over the first seven games; he has five over the past five. Eighty-three of Georgia’s passing yards Saturday came on a completion to running back Kenny McIntosh. Of Bennett’s 10 completions, two were to wide receivers – for a total of 13 yards.

2.
Stetson Bennett SEC ranks
Passing efficiency 5th
QB rushing yards: 8th
Passing yards per completion 7th
Passing yards per game 4th
Yards per pass attempt: 3rd
Completion percentage: 5th
Completions per game: 4th
Passing touchdowns: 8th

Our OL has been inconsistent all year though. When they play well, they look like one of the best OL’s in the nation. When they don’t, the run blocking gets real ugly real quick.


Is this a recruiting problem or a coaching problem?

Admittedly I am not a fan of Bennett but we can all agree that he will never pass Stafford on where he was drafted for the pros.

Bo’s got a horrible track record against UGA, but he’s playing very well right now. Easily playing the best ball of his career.


Don't forget to factor into Nix's great play right now is the fact that he is going against west coast defenses.

As for Tennessee or Oregon, it doesn't really matter. Playing our game, UGA will beat either one.

Alabama may not be out of the playoffs mathematically but have very little chance.

While Alabama has offensive problems, their defense is not very good. When Smart left, Saban hired Pruitt and the defense stayed tough. Since Pruitt left for Tennessee, the Alabama defense has been less of a factor every year. I look for a change in their defensive coordinator after the season ends. Possibly the same for their offensive head too.

Excellent analysis.

You could be right in what you say defending dish and blaming Disney. My experience shows otherwise.

About four years ago dish had a dispute with Sports South and removed the Braves from TV. As of today, that dispute continues even though Bally Sports bought Sports South. Neither of those two organizations could successfully return their channels to dish.

Last year dish had another dispute with a group that owned several TV stations. One of those stations was our local CBS affiliate. Once again the channel was removed. Once again we had to go to friends' homes to watch the Bulldogs.

Now you claim this dispute between dish and Disney is all Disney's fault. As stated in the first paragraph, you could be right. However, history shows that dish has done with two other media organizations the same thing that is now going on with ESPN through Disney.

My money is on dish being the problem.

Gilbert has a brain sprain. He won't play for UGA until he gets his head on straight.

"Still curious as to why Gilbert has only seen mop-up time."


More than likely he isn't getting the job done at practice.



Pickens is very lucky that he wasn't picked by the Falcons.

I realize that college football has changed drastically. However, as an oldtimer, it is still hard to believe how far Ga Tech has fallen since the days when they were a member of the SEC.

I am surprised that he is mentioned at all.

Oregon won but it took a late interception with UCLA driving.
