Merry Christmas, Dawgs! My wife got me a very cool gift!

She found this book on the Walmart website:

This is a history of ALL college football in the state of Georgia. Just an initial cursory look into the book reveals several very interesting tidbits.

First... I guess we all knew... UGA was the first college football program in the state. But what I didn't know was the second program in the state....

The Mercer Bears.

They actually played (and lost to) UGA in 1892.

The third member of the 19th-century football club in Georgia was the Golden Tornado of the Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta.

In Tech's first-ever football game they lost to Mercer, 12-6. A Wikipedia page says that Tech went by the name, "Blacksmiths". This book says they were the Golden Tornado (??).

Lots of interesting stuff like that. Very cool Christmas gift!
John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

1 Timothy 2:5-6

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time.

Acts 4:12

And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
