Blake's Broken Foot is "Good to Go!"
The doctor cleared my son, Blake, yesterday, to start training again! Blake will be starting out slowly, and he is ready for summer workouts! (For those who missed it, Blake, #18, broke his foot during spring mat drills....)

Georgia State Panthers Spring Scrimmage at the Dome!
Georgia State Panthers
Spring Scrimmage at the Dome!
Scores of Loyal Panther Fans, Fraternity and, Sorority Members, Alums, Bloggers and Followers, Panther Talk regulars, Pantherettes, journalists, photographers, and new friends, met in the Georgia Dome's Orange Lot, hours before the scrimmage to enjoy food and libations at the Panther Talk, and other, Tailgate Parties. Stories of the Inaugural Season, and speculations on our upcoming Second Season, were shared and enjoyed by all!
Here's a link to a gallery with more tailgating photos. Please feel free to tag the photos. (Panther Talk Bloggers/posters: Please tag photos of people you know, so we can put names with faces!)
The Dome was Rockin' when the doors opened, to the sounds of The Regulars Band!
3,400+ Fans were pumped up, and lots of those around me were dancing and singing along with the band and sound system! The Pantherettes and Panther Cheerleaders kept the crowd revved up! AirTran, the Georgia State Book Store, and other regular season sponsors, continued their fun contests and games on the field during breaks.
The team took to the field, led by the the cheerleaders.
The offense had quite a lead in the beginning, 14-0, when the defense caught up, and then dominated the rest of the scrimmage. Defense won: 41-27. Check out Panther Talk and Georgia State Sports for more "sports savvy" technical details!
The general crowd consensus was an attitude of excitement about Georgia State's upcoming Second Football Season. There was optimistic talk about moving from the CAA to the SEC, sometime down the road.
The foundational plans are in place to grow GSU football into a program of prominence. To do that, we need corporate support, GSU alumni, and other Atlantans who want to be part of our NEWEST HOMETOWN TEAM, to get on board, come to games, and be a part of the NEW PANTHER NATION!
Please help us spread the word! GSU football is great for family reunions, church and school groups, corporate celebrations, and kid's parties! GSU Athletics has special group packages for every event!
GSU Football is a great tradition to start with your family. Football Season Ticket prices start at only $72 for the ENTIRE SEASON! That's only $12 per game for 6 home games IN THE GEORGIA DOME! The weather is always great in the Dome!
Check out other Georgia State Sports, as well.Tickets for all Georgia State Sports are affordably priced!
Here's a gallery of more scrimmage photos. Please tag people you know! GO PANTHERS!

Second Spring Scrimmage!
Second Spring Scrimmage!
Last night, my son Blake (#18) brought three of his Panther teammates, and a childhood friend, home for supper. They're all great guys! (I love it when my kids bring their friends home!)
Five big guys can surely put away a lot of food! Jake, Christo, and Mark were "fueling up" for the scrimmage today! (Blake's still in a boot from breaking his foot during spring mat drills.)
Jake told us that he and his brother, Louie, are going to be in an "eating contest" at the end of the month! More to follow on that!
The Panther's second scrimmage was today at at 10 a.m., at their practice field. Road work on the expressways had traffic a little crazy!
Coach Curry, Cheryl Levick, Coach Pugh, and a few others, spoke to us in the new "Team Meeting Room," (which the team hasn't yet used), before the scrimmage started. We saw a short highlight film of the Inaugural Season.
The excitement for Georgia State's football program continues to build! We're on track for another great year!
What a beautiful spring day in Atlanta! After an overcast start, it actually got HOT sitting on the sidelines! I took lots of photos so everyone can get an idea of how much fun it was watching the Panther's today!
Don't Forget! The BIG Spring Scrimmage is in the Georgia Dome this Thursday, April 14th, at 6:30. Admission is FREE! Y'all come, and bring your family and friends. The Panther Talk Fan Website is doing a Tailgate Party before the game.
Here's a link to my photo album with more complete Scrimmage coverage! Enjoy!
