Bulldog Fans Setting up Shop at Bison Witches

Word from Georgia Sports Blog is that Bison Witches has been secured as being a headquarters for Bulldog fans:

In preparation for the big event in September, I have secured a "home base" for us in Tempe. The owners of Bison Witches Bar* (21 E. 6th St, Tempe) have graciously offered to host the UGA fans for the weekend of GA vs ASU.

They are located in downtown Tempe within 5 blocks of Sundevil Stadium. They are going to be decked out in GA gear and will be serving fabulous food and drinks all weekend long. Please tell your friends and family to make Bison Witches the "Georgia Bar" of choice!!!

Thanks for your support and as always, GO DAWGS!

With the intense heat we've seen in late September even towards the evening, it's not a real surprise that Georgia fans would find a bar for refuge. Originating in Tucson, Bison Witches is considered a U of A bar right in the heart of Sun Devil country, so this gives ASU fans another reason to either avoid this place or show up post game to do even more heckling than usual. With how dominant ASU athletics has been over the Wildcats, maybe this choice of bars will prove to be bad luck for Georgia. But now I'm just getting superstitious.

For your weekend enjoyment

All the talk has been about the cheerleading program being "cut." At least its something to talk about during the slow offseason, but honestly, who cares. Think about it, most cheerleaders who were any good in high school were pipelined directly into the Greek system anyways.

On to stuff that actually matters...

The time of the Georgia game has officially been set to 5:00 PM, on ABC.

Start your tailgates at 2:30. No word on if Georgia QB Matthew Stafford (left) will partake.

Recruiting news this week has been all about the verbal commitment from Montana QB Brock Osweiler. Osweiler had already given a verbal to Gonzaga for basketball, but felt so strongly about joining the Arizona State program that he was literally losing sleep over it. If you're wondering if he could rescind his commitment a second time, read what he told the Billings Gazette about talking to other football programs:

"Florida State was scheduled to come, (as were) Alabama, UCLA, Washington State, and Stanford and none of that bothers me anymore. I'm going to call those guys and let them know where I'm at and let them know they can move on. That's how solid I feel about this."

Pretty confident we've got another "quarterback of the future."

Josh Barrett talks to Sporting News Radio about his college career and transition to the Broncos. Also, Barrett's former partner at safety Zach Catanese was signed by the Jets.

Baseball takes a half game lead over Stanford in the Pac-10 with a 10-5 win over UCLA. Kipnis (2 HR), Champagnie, Sontag, Wallace and Paramore had 3 hits a piece. Devils Digest has a great comprehensive report on the performance. Dan Zeiger of the Trib had a piece Friday on the road Ryan Sontag has taken to get to this point. The Sun Devils are 11-5 in conference with 8 games left to play. ASU radio announcer Tim Healey talked ASU baseball today with Calling All Sports.
