For those of you concerned with Ehlo and my well-being, rest easy, we are not hurt by the recent snow/ice storm that rocked the Athens area. Our house experienced multiple falling trees that have taken out our power and cable lines. Luckily our power was restored last night but our cable (thanks to Charter) is probably not coming back for a while. This means that we are not getting television nor internet. It is as if we are living in the early 90's all over again, except there are no cool Hypercolor t-shirts to get us through the tough times.
Anyways, I bring this up to explain why we might not be able to post in a while and also to explain my frustration with what happened Sunday night. The Hawks were finally given their due by being broadcasted on Sunday night to a national audience thanks to ESPN. Hell, the game was even going to be in HD, a rare luxury that does not occur much in Hawksnation. Anyways, while all of us were so excited to finally be able to watch a Hawks game on national television, mother nature had other ideas.
On Sunday afternoon around 1:30, snow began to fall in the Athens area, and while it was a welcome sight due to the rareness of the occurrence, many people began to get worried when it would not stop. A lot of us were just looking forward to the evening where we all knew class would be cancelled and we would be allowed to drink and watch the Hawks game. But then, the cable went out across the city. Thousands of Hawks fans rushed into the street to protest this lack of coverage. All week, all of us were anxiously awaiting the game on ESPN, only to be left with nothing to watch.
So for all of you out there expecting us to type up an angry response to the supposed foul on LBJ at the end of the game, you won't be finding it here. For those of you wanting to read something about the NBA conspiracy regarding refs and their horribly biased calls, it won't be here. If you are looking for a post about the Hawks going the distance with the 2nd best team in the East and looking like legit playoff contenders, it won't be here. If you are looking for a response regarding Woody being able to deliver us a victory at Washington after the Cavs game, it won't be here. As you can see, many news regarding the Hawks will not be found on our site. Instead, you will have to wait till the cable comes back for us to be able to watch some Hawks games. So there you have it, nothing till we get cable. Thus you wait, you wait.

Those pictures of the tracks make Athens look like cold war russia.
And I did watch the game. I was all over the place.
Good news is World Baseball Classic starts today. I'm pretty excited about Dominicans and US teams.
